DEATHS IN ELLSWORTH.


The number of deaths in Ellsworth dur
ing the year is startling, being by far the
largest of any year since THE AMERICAN

of deaths in Ellsworth in 1918 was 82-23
more than last year and 20.7 moro than
the average for the preceding ten years,
which is 61.3. The largest number previ-
ously recorded in one year was II in 1911.
OF the 50 deaths, 10 were children less
than s years OF age, between s and q
years Of age, and 6S were adults. OF the
adults, "a had outlived three-score and
ten, 81 being between the ages OF 70 and so
10 between so and 80, and over so years
of age.
OF the months, April and May show the
largest mortality with IL each. Last year
there were only 3 deaths in each of these

feeding beef cattle in Alabama. He stressed the importance of permanent pastures, temporary pastures, supple mented by concentrate foods-cotton seed meal, combind with cotton seed hulls and silage. He stated that silage could be made for about s ton, and taking everything into consideration was almost equal in feeding value to cotton seed hulls. which costs anywhere from sS to SIP ton.
 The next lecture was on the diseases of cattle. the principal part of the talk was about the diseases of the udder of dairy cattle. In order to prevent swelled bags or udders, it is essential to pro tect the bags from injury by horns, cakes, etc. and to have clean and complete milking regularly every day. The use of strong drugs about the udder is always injurious and unnecessary. Bathing with warm water. a very simple process, would apply to caked bags and external in- luries of the udder. Following the appli- cation of warm water use simple remedies like glycerine and lard.
 After dinner the Cobb and Derby cat tie sale was started. Only few of the cattle were sold. and the remainder will

GREAT STRENGTH DEVELOPS IN WHEAT Violent Declines at First Succeeded by an All
 Around Advance

Chicago. August 5.-Despite the shock Of England having entered the war and of having apparently forsaken plans to guarantee the safety of grain shipments intended for British ports, prices on the Board of Trade today developed great strength. Violent declines, at first, were succeeded by an all around advance. Net gains for the day were: Wheat, 17s cents to 34 cents; corn, II cents to ? cents; oats. 2A@2ss cents, and provisions. 2s@ $.55.
 Important factors in the advance were cablegrams that the stock on hand in Liverpool was scanty, ard that prices there were advancing In manner that showed alarm. Abnormal strength in the significance. Houses here Identified with the export trade were buyers on the up turn.
 Shipping demand for corn was urgent especially from the east. A quantity oi No. ? yellow corn brought the highest price so far this season. 80 cents a bushel
 Reports which, however, were not veri- fled, that Great Britain had bought 5,00o,- GOO pounds of meats here led to re- markable bulge in the provision market The chief advance was in pork, $l.55 with the close at the top level reached. Lard gained 27 cents to 271z cents and ribs Si cents to 671a cents.

By the aid of charts he showed the varied peculiarities of Angus, Herefords and Shorthorns. lie also discussed the dual purpose animal. He stated that all the good beef type animals, If properly handled and used on Alabama farms, would make profltable investments. He suggested that the aver age farmer should buy good grade of scrub cows and bred them to registered bulls.

Lads wrestle With Fish

rrUIH tHe New YOfk Sun.
 Rhinelander, Wis.-A fish story vouched for by reputable eyewitnesses comes from Minocqua. where a wrestling match took place between two small boys and . s. pound muskallonge.
 The boys were fishing for bass from a dock on the lake front. Suddenly blacs fin cut the water and an instant later a monster fish jumped clear of the lake and landed at the feet of the boys
 The urchins were stunned for second but quickly fell on the fish and sue ceeded in killing 1t. The fish was one of the incest, specimens of the musky tribe ever taken from the lake. The recent heavy rains and the resultant high water are held responsible for the hitherto un- heard of occurrence.
