FARM NOTES.
—Lumpy jaw in cattle is an annoyance
dreaded by dairymen. An Ontario farmer
reports that he has used spirits of ammonia
for years and cured every case, no matter
how bad it was. He rubs it on the lumps
or jaw once or twice a day, and the diffi-
culty gradually disappears. The remedy
is a very simple one and is easily tested.
—All classes of poultry require warmth
and care in winter. No amount of corn
will induce the hens to lay if they are not
provided with dry, warm quarters. Eggs
are high during cold weather, and it will
pay to keep the hens in good laying condi-
| a Tramp’s Luck.
Falls Heir to a Part of a Fortune of Fifteen Million
Dollars.
Jacob Wilson, aged 52, who came to this
State (California) a tramp, and applied for
| work in Tulare county for his board, has
| received word that the United States Su-
| preme court has decided in his favor a suit
that will give him a good portion of a $15,-
000,000 estate. The suit was brought in
the New York courts in 1886, and affects
the estate of Jacob Wilson, Sr.. banker and
broker of Wall street.
Young Wilson, according to his story,
in 1873 married a woman who was a nurse
in the family. The family raised a row
+ and Wilson went to Australia with his wife.
In 1884 his father died, cutting off Wilson
without a dollar. In 1886 he brought
suit to break the will, and during the 11
years interim has been penniless and a
wanderer. Last week he received the
news that his suit had been successful, but
tion. If they must roost in the tree tops |
they will not begin to lay until spring and |
tosses will occur from cold and disease.
|
—The usual treatment of peach pits in |
nurseries is te bed them out over winter |
and let the frost act on them, but this is |
not absolutely necessary. The pits may
be planted in the spring, provided they have
been preserved properly. They may be
planted where the trees are expected to
remain, but it is better to sow them in the |
nursery rows first and then transplant the
trees after they have been budded.
—The best method of handling hen
manure is to keep constantly some dry
muck, earth, soil or sand under the roosts
and clean it out at least once a week.
Then mix all with three or four times its
bulk of dry soil or muck, and keep in a
perfectly dry place. Work over whenever
the heap commences to heat until ready for |
use. Such fertilizer should nos be plowed |
or spaded under deeply, but lightly raked |
or harrowed in the ground at the time of |
planting. |
—Here are afew facts which may be pre-
served for reference. In 100 pounds of
milk there should be 16 pounds of
cream, from which should be made three
and a quarter pounds of butter. One quart
of milk weighs two pounds and three
ounces, and a quart of cream containing
25 per cent. of fat should weigh two pounds
one and a (uarter ounces ; half a gallon
of cream should make a pound of butter.
One pound of butter fat should make 1.15
pound of butter ; that is, add 15 per cent.
to the butter fat to estimate the butter.
Of course, milk and cream vary, but the
above is about correct for an average.
—The oat crop ripens later than other
small grains. It therefore gives less time
to prepare the seed bed from its stubble
for sowing either wheat or rye. Yet if the
land is plowed as soon as the grain is off
and and the field is immediately harrowed
and rolled so as to preserve its moisture a
good seed bed may be made. Oat stubble
is soft and rots quickly when buried in
moist soil. There is another objection to
sowing wheat after oats in the fact that
both are exhaustive, especially of mineral
fertility. But a dressing of 150 pounds of
standard phosphate will replace what the
oat crop has removed, and on most land
secure a better wheat crop on the stubble
than could be made on a summer fallow
without the phosphate. =.
—The cow may possess all the markings |
of superiority, such as perfect escutcheon, |
large udder, weli-shaped teats, ete., but |
the chief point is her capacity to consume |
and digest a large quantity of food, as it is |
from the food that she produces milk and
butter ; hence it may truly be said that to
know a cow well she must be examined
internally, soas to judge and score her
heart, lungs, liver and stomach, which is
not possible ; but dairymen are content to
form a favorable opinion of a cow in that
respect if she has a deep hody, indicating
the possession of large digestive organs.
Long experience has taught progressive
dairymen that a cow having a wedge-
shape form, the rear being wide ; the udder
large and extending well both front and
back, with the teats set regularly and well
apart, is usually one that will not disap-
point her owner, but as the individuality
of the animal is also a factor in the breed
the disposition. freedom from disease and
quality of the product must be considered,
especially as no two cows are alike and the
quantity and quality of the milk and but-
ter may vary with the same individual
daily. The calf should also conform to the
shape of the cow, and even the embryro
udder will give some indications of its fu-
ture. An experienced breeder gives this
rule for judging a cow or calf by its ap-
pearance : With the eye measure the dis-
tance from the tail about half way down
the rump, as it drops straight down, to the
rear line of the thigh, and the greater the
distance between those points, and the
more curving of the thigh. the hetter the
cow. The hips must curve away from the
tail as an indication of a good milker.
—There are various ways of stacking
corn fodder. A writer in the Ohio Furmer
gives description of his method. He
writes :
I begin the stack the same as a shock—
that is, by standing bundles almost per-
pendicularly on the ground, butts down
and tops pressed together. I continue in
this way, placing the bundles close to-
gether, until the shock, or prospective
stack, is about 12 feet in diameter at the
base (ground). This usually requires 50
or G0) bundles. Next, instead of getting
up on this shock, or stack bottom, and
having some one pitch the bundles to me
while I lay them down horizontally, as is
- usually done, I remain on the ground and
continue there till the last bundle is placed,
when a ladder is leaned against the stack
and the top tied.
The bundles for the next or second ele-
vated course are placed in order by means
of a two tined pitchfork. The butts of
this course are about six feet from the
ground, and, like the butts of the first ele-
vated course, come to about the middle of
the bundles underneath.
The butts of the third or last course, con-
sisting of, say, eight or ten bundles, are
placed about nine feet from the ground.
This makes a stack about 14 feet in height.
When the last course is placed in order,
the top of the stack is securely tied in two |
places—one within a foot or two of the ex- |
treme top and the other around the butts
of the top course.
Two men are not required to put up this
kind of a stack. I built ten such stacks
this year myself without any assistance.
I put in about 120 bundlesin a stack.
In stacking in this way there are no
bundles lying down with the butts stick-
ing outward, as in stacks as usually built.
They all stand up in an almost perpen-
dicular form —butts down, tops up. The
bundles having so much *‘pitch’’ they shed
the water perfectly.
In feeding from such a stack I begin
with the ground course, as the bundles
may be easily pulled out. The top bundles
remain untouched till the last, thus leaving
no part of the stack exposed to the weather.
' news of his good fortune.
he is only modestly elated over it.
He is particularly bitter against his sis-
ters. One of them lives in Pittsburg,
where her husband is the president of a
arge manufacturing company. Wilson
says that in 1893, after the hardships of an
overland tramp from California, and sick
and hungry, he went to the door of her
home in the aristocratic part of Pittsburg
and sought help.
He was treated as one of the outcasts of
the world, and there was neither food nor
money for him. After working on a ranch
in Tulare for a few months for his board
Wilson got a place on asmall weekly news-
paper at Dinuba, and was making enough
to keep him barely alive when he received

Murdered All His Family.
Farmer Boecher Kills His Wife and Six Children
and Fatally Wounds Himself,
John Boecker, a farmer, near Carrol, Ia.
Monday night murdered his wife and six

were prosperous Germans and appeared to
live happily. The murderer used a revol-
ver and a shot gun, and when neighbors
broke into the house to-day, they found
the corpses of the wife and children stretch-
ed on the beds in their night clothes.
Boecker was 34 years ald, and had been
married 11 years. His father and brother
live nearby, and it is said he had disagreed
with them concerning the farm on which
he lived.
Fever in Texas.
A Small Boy at Beaumont Died of the Dread
Malady—The Mails Are Blamed for This Spread.
The yellow fever has appeared in Texas.
Governor Culbertson has been informed
that a genuine case of yellow fever was in
existence at Beaumont. The case, which
was that of a small boy, was genuine yel-
low fever, and the hoy has died. Many
people are led to think that the mail ser- |
vice is bringing the fever into the State,
and Governor Culbertson will be asked to
entirely cut off all the train service of any | vember.
kind between Louisiana and Texas. Beau- |
mont from now on will be closely sur-
rounded.
As to Potatoes.
When potatoes are already infected with
disease there is no way to make them
sound : they will rot sooner or later. Be-
fore patting potatoes in the cellar they
should be looked over carefully and all af-
fected ones removed, as a rotten tuber is
apt to destroy all sound ones it touches.
Air-slacked lime is sometimes used to
sprinkle over a hin of potatoes to absorb
moisture and thus check the spread of dis-
ease. Keeping in a cold dry cellar will
have a like effect. It is well to sort over
potatoes a few weeks after they are stored,
remove the rotten ones and so prevent
further rotting.
—One happy result, and perhaps the
only one, of the yellow fever scare in the
gulf region is that all the cities and towns
thereabouts are giving themselves a thor-
ough cleansing. In Galveston a special
appropriation has been made to clean the
streets and gutters, and in Mobile, Hous-
ton, Birmingham and other towns the work
of general disinfection is being pushed as
it has not been before in nearly twenty
years. A sure result of this will be a
lower death rate next winter when more
than enough lives will be saved to balance
those lost by the fever now.
WHAT IT MEANS.—When we advertise
that we will guarantee Dr. King’s New

nica Salve, or Dr. King’s New Life Pills,
it means that we are authorized by the

President McKinley should avoid the
charge of nepotism. The appointment of
cousin William McKinley Oshorne to the
best paying diplomatic position in the
President’s gift, that of the Consul-Gen-
eral to London, was quite generally over-
looked. But another cousin, F. E. Mec-
Kinley, of New Mexico, has been appoint-
ed to an office in Oklahoma, violating both
the proprieties and the principle of home
rule for the territories.
—— When the Democrats were in power
at Washington the articles in Republican
newspapers were headed ‘‘More Pie Given
Out,” **Giood Republicans Turned Down,’
*‘Step Up to the Pie Counter and the like.
Now the appointments are known as *‘Pres-
ident McKinley's Favors,” “To the Vie-
tors Belong the Spoils,” “Good Men Go
In,” &e. But thiugs are different now.
England Buying Horses.
A report to the State department from
the United States Minister at Buenos Ayres
says that agents of the British War office
have purchased 1,400 horses in Argentina
for use by the British Army in Africa. It
is believed that these horses are better able
to stand the trying African climate than
any others.

Killing Froste.
Some of the Southern Cities Afflicted Wit Yellow
Fever May Not See Cold Weather.
Frost is the one thing that can stop the
deadly work of the yellow fever if it takes
the form of an epidemic. as now seems al-
most certain.
Every indication now points to an epi-
once the fever germs prevail the disease
will progress in all its fierceness until keen,
biting frosts come to chill the germs into
frozen death. Frost will be prayed for by
the sufferers, and people will hope and
long to awaken some morning and see the
| white, snowy hand or the winter king. It
is always a short fight between the two
Jacks. When “Jack Frost’’ comes ‘‘Yel-
low Jack’ goes. The fever cannot live
after the first frost, provided it is severe
enough to kill fruit.
In some cities other agencies than the
frost will have to be employed to free the
town from the merciless grasp of the dis-
ease. Some cities that are more than all
others liable to the disease have not had
the frost in some years, and it is only when
all the inhabitants have had the fever or
have left that it gives up. When it has
nothing to feed upon, says the Atlanta **Con-
stitution.’ it leaves.
New Orleans, which is now menaced, is
a city which rarely has a frost of enough
severity to kill the germs of the disease.
Forthe last four years no killing frost has
occurred in New Orleans, and if the fever
had onced gained a foothold there even the
winter would not have stopped its work
of destruction and desolation.
Key West is another city that has no
frost, and to add to the misfortune of the
situation, the city is nearly always in dan-
ger of an epidemic, being situated where
the fever first begins its ravages. For six
| years Key West has had no fever. Back of
| that time the records have not heen con-
sulted, but it is said that the city never

suicide for the reason that he had broken a
pledge made to his wife to stop drinking.
The window being open, it was at once
surmised that the man had jumped out,
and as the train was running at great
speed the conclusion was arrived at that he
had been killed. A search was made for
the man but he could not be found.
Hill, however, was not killed when he
jumped out of the window. He received a
bad shaking up from his tumble, and was
badly bruised about the face and head.
Before jumping out of the window he had
cut the veins in the wrist. He bound the
incisions with a handkerchief and then
walked to the tower at Muncy. Here he
informed the operator of his name and
asked that he be shown a hotel. He was
directed to a hotel in that place, and short-
ly after Dr. A. I. Howe, who had heard of
the man’s injuries, made his appearance.
Hill refused the physician’s services.
When asked if he had any explanation to
make about his attempt at suicide he re-
plied that he had not, and with an oath
added that too much had already been said.
Later on he was taken to the Williamsport
has a killing frost.
Galveston, situated on an island in the |
gulf, is still another fair Southern city |
where frost only rarely occurs, and where |
the fever is very liable to prevail with |
disastrous results.
|
In Edwards, Miss.,, where the fever is
now raging, the frosts are always very
late. Jackson, the capital, only a few
miles above, can well fear the epidemic at
Edwards, for it will be two months before
frost will appear to end the epidemic there.
On an average the first frosts appear at
Edwards about the middle of November.
Before that time the epidemic can sweep
away the populations of the biggest cities
in the South.
Mobile will have the fever for two
months if it gains a much firmer foothold.
In that unhappy coast town, where the
fever is now claiming its victims, frosts
may not come until the new year. In ’92
the first frost did not fall before December
23rd, two days before Christmas.
If Atlanta were not entirely immune
from the fever, there might be some reason
for alarm here at the lateness of the frost.
On an average, the first frosts occur here
about the first of November. Sometimes
| they come by the first of October, but
normally they come about the first of No-

next section of the country going north- |

and December 1st. In this section are
Jacksonville, Mobile and a few unim-
portant towns. In the next section going |
northward the frosts fall on an average he- |
tween the 1st of November and the 15th. |
Vicksburg, Montgomery, Dallas and Sa- |
vannah are in this section. The section to
the north is practically free from fever
except in coast and river towns. In this
section are Atlanta, Augusta and Shreve-
port. |
Walker Dunson, of Atlanta, tells of the
case of his brother, who died of yellow
fever in 1888, and the facts as related go to
sustain the statement that yellow fever
cannot spread in this climate :
“In 1888 yellow fever became epidemic
in Gainesville, Fla., and W. E. Dunson, a
prominent young attorney of that city,
took yellow fever. He left Gainesville,
but when only a few miles from there he
was stricken, and, being unable to secure
proper treatment in the country, it was
deemed best to bring him to Atlanta, and
carry him to La Grange, Ga. Walker
Dunson, of Atlanta, his brother, secured a
health certificate here and went at once to
Newmansville, Fla., near Gainesville, to
bring him to Atlanta. He was found near
that town in a somewhat delirious state of
mind caused by the fever. The whole
country was completely demoralized,
strangers were regarded with great sus-
picion and only an old deserted office could
be secured in which to spend the night to
await the departure of the train next morn-
ing. One day and night was spent on the
train, and, as the stricken man was quite
sick and delirious, the two brothers oc-
cupied the same seat and berth on the
train. They arrived safely in Atlanta, re-
mained here about 12 hours, and then the
sick man was carried down to La Grange
and taken to the home of another brother.
The attending physician, who had had ex-
perience with yellow fever patients in New
Orleans, pronounced the disease a genuine
case of yellow fever. Mr. Dunson linger-
ed about two weeks, and died of yellow
fever. His body was as yellow as an
orange when he died. Everybody who
knew of the case helieved it was yellow
fever. No other member of the family or
anyone else who came in contact with him
when sick took the dread disease.’’
After the South Pole.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Frederick A.
Cook, who was a member of Peary’s Green-
land expedition in 1891, sailed from here
to-day on the steamer Coleridge for Mon-
tevideo, where he will join the Gerlach
Antarctic expedition. He hopes to reach
the south pole.
The Gerlach expedition under command
of Lieutenant Adrian De Gerlach, left
Antwerp July 25th, in the Belgiac, a whal-
ing ship especially strengthened and fitted
up for the perilous undertaking. The Bel-
giacis provisioned for two years. Every
man of the twenty-five on board here is ex-
perienced and ready to face any new dan-
gers. As far as known Dr. Cook will be the
only American in the party, and his duties
will he purely scientific. A balloon, which
is now on the Belgiac, will be utilized if
possible, for taking observations and mak-
ing wrial progress where ice prevents navi-

Back From Greenland.
Peary and His Party Return Safe and Happy.
SYDNEY, September 28th.—The steam
sealing bark Hope, with Lieutenant R. E.
Peary and party on board, returning from
North Greenland, arrived here at 5 o'clock
this afternoon. ~ All on board are well.
The Hope came into port burning her last
coal and with her bulwarks and decks giv-
ing evidence of the furious seas of the un-
usually stormy summer. She is nearly as
deep in the water as when she left here in
the latter part of July, with her bunkers
full of coal ; for the huge Cape York me-
teorite, the largest in the world, is in her
hold, and bedded in tons of ballast.
Lieutenant Peary has on board six Cape
York Esquimaux, who will go with him
when he returns next year to attempt to
reach the north pole. The Esquimaux have
their tents, dogs, sledges and canoes. They
are eager for the undertaking and all the
arrangement have been made.
The expedition visited Cape Sabine, and
relics of the ill-fated expedition led by
Greely have been obtained. The summer
in Baffin bay was marked by almost con-
tinuously stormy weather and by an un-
usual s-arcity of flood.
The investigating party from the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, under
{ Mr. R. W. Porter, landed at Cape Haven
on August 3rd and did not re-embark un-
til September 13th. The party, led by
Mr. Hugh Lee, the Arctic explorer of Mer-
riden, Conn., landed at Goldhaven on
August 7th and re-embarked September
7th. Professor Schuchet’s party, represent-
ing the National museum, landed at One-
mok on August 8th, re-embarking. on Sep-
tember 4th. The party, led by Mr. Rob-
ert Stein, of the United States geological
survey, was on land from August 10th to
September 2nd.
The Hope will coal here and then pro-
ceed to New York, where she will land her
meteorite.
