Typhoid and Vermin.
In a recent Is-ruo of Medicine Is pre

demics. Insects, it Is declared, play
a largo part In the dissemination of
disease. Kltasato and other Japanese
aclnntfRta have found that fleas, bed
bugs and files are active factors In
spreading tho plague. As the' cock
roach Is omnipresent, his rote, as re
spects dlRcase. If any, must be Jm
portant. Miss Engtlmann in 1902 made
an Investigation of a house epidemic
of typhoid in Chicago. The disease
was raging In a hlgh-clcss apartment
In one of the best neighborhoods,
where many cases had occurred. Near
it was a like apartment houso where
no casns occur rvd. The cause of tho
presence of the fever In tho one house
and not in the other was simply, it is
urged, that the one was infested with
cockroaches while tho other was not.
The vermin had access to the water
used 1b culinary operations and con
taminated it with germs obtained from

Czar Is Superstitious.
Th Czar of Itussia is said to be
very ouperstltlous and to bave great
confidence in relics. Ho wears a
ring in which he believes is embed
ded a p'ieco of tho true cross. It was
origilnally one of tho treasures ot
tho Vatican, nnd was presented to an
ancestor of the Czar for diplomatic
reasons. Tho value which ita ownor
sets upon the ring with ita embedded
rci'.c is shown by the following facts.
Eor.ic years ago bet was traveling
from St. Petersburg to Moscow when
ho sii(iil"!:ily discLvcred that ho had

When to Water Cows.
Experiments at the Pennsylvania

any partleulcr advantage In having

Leges In Siloing Corn.
The changes which occur In the silo
are acrompinled by a material loss of
organic matt r. ami such loss Is largely
proportionate to the amount of oxy
gen or air admitted to the mass. The
more perlvctly tho moss be compacted,
and the tnoio nearly air-tight the silo,
the less the loa;. The necessary, or at
least un ivoidubio loss under practical
conditions, seems to bo approximately
15 percent of dry matter. H. J. Wa

Spread Manure After Harvest.
Aft-T the hanosilng of the grain
crops, and before tiio corn Is ready to
cut, farmers uMu.lly have tlmo which
they etui give to hauling manure on the
land before fall plowing. Spread the
manuro directly from the wagon or Im
mediately after hauling It to tho field.
If left In small plica in the field for
any length of time tho liquids will
leak nnd bo absorbed only on tho Bpot
covered. Mt.nuro should be evenly
spread over the surface. Again, man
uro which Is left in hills for a long
time will pauk, and It will b3 (illileult
to scatter it wlu n you are ready to do
that work. Fields which are foul with
thistles and otticr wecd3 should by all
means be plowed tnriy If tho season
be dry. G. II. Wilson.
Muccovy Ducks.
Thfci breed was at one time very
popular umong tho duck raisers of
Long Inland, but has been mostly su
ptrrfedod by the Pckin. Some growers,
however, still pi'oler the white Mus
covy, or a cro:-H of this variety with
other brecdn, on account of ita lnrgi
sbo and rapid growth.
The pure breed his white plumage,
light beak and yellow legn. The stand
ard weight Is 10 pounds for a grown
droiko compared with eight pounds for
a Pokin drake. Their defects consist
ot poor laying quality and an extremely
vicious . and quarrelsome disposition.
Tbe pair shown in tho illustration are
members of the flock at Exmoor farms,
Lebanon, Pa. The bare red patches
about the face are charctcrlstic ot the
breed, and give the bird a fierce ap
pearance which Is fully justified by tho
lighting qualities of the males.
Open Air for Horses.
The Creator intended the open air
for the horse's element. A uorso con
demned to Imprisonment in a dark
stall, without exercise, wituout fresh
air and the glint ot tho bright sun
shine on his coat, will become as weak
and useless as a prisoner who shows
tbe pallor of years of Incarceration
behind dungeon walls, says tbo Ilorsj
Breeder. Light exercise sends tho
good, warm, blood flowing through
channels to evory part of the body, do
Chying tissues are. rebuilt by tho life
current that has been purified In its
contact with the froiih air in the lungs.
The dlgeslivo organs perform their sev
eral functions more perfectly, and so
more rich, red, nourishing blood is
made. A sound horse docs not neod
"limbering up" In the strict senso of
the term, but it is nature's decree that
the muscles of the animal, as well as
the human body, should not be allowed
to soften and decay by reason ot lack
of work.
Hog Pasture.
It Is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon a sluglo crop to furnish pas
turo for our hogs throughout the en
tire season. It is hotter to arrange for
a succession of pssturca from the be
ginning of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer and more concentrated toward
the close ot the season, and as we ap
proach the finishing of fattening peri
od. For this purpose tho following
crops aro recommended: Ited clover cr
alfalfa, rape, cowpeaa, ney beans.
On lands adpted to alfalfa It will
undoubtedly prove to bo bettor for
hogs tnan red clover, Inasmuch as It
will produce a largo quantity of food of
a Bomowhni higher value, Inasmuch aa
wo have not yet loirued to grow al
falfa successfully on tho majority of
our soils, wo shall be forced to rely
chiefly upon clover. It starts earlier
In the Bprins than any hog pasture we
have excepting alfalfa, and would
therefore be used first, and should be
used aa long as it is succulent and
palatable. Usually not later than the
middle of June the crop will have be
come ao mature that the bogs will rel-
Ish sj change for the time being;, ana
the surplus clover should be cut and
removed, go as to allow the second or
fall crop to itart promptly.
Profit in Vetch Seed.
Winter vetch Is one of the best cropg
for late sowing. It lives through the
winter, stores up the nitrogen of the
air like clover, and Is especially use
ful as a pasture fur farm stock, a cover
crop In orchards, or a (teen manure
for plowing under to enrich the land.
The fodder Is relished by all classes
of animals, and It Is an extra good
feed for hogs. The great drawback is
tho high cost of the seed, which Is Im
ported from Germany and sells for $5
per bushel. There appears no reason
why all the seed should not be raised
in America, the price could be reduced
and still leave a good profit for the
grower. For three years In succession
at the Ontario experiment farm vetch
has been sown In the autumn and rip
encd the following season, giving an
average yield of 10.8 bushels ot seed
per acre. Its cultivation is as simple
as that of rye or wheat. It Iz likely to
becomo quite popular, and with a good
demand for the seed, especially from
orchardlsts.
A borne grown supply would quickly
be bought up by seedsmen, or could be
sold direct to consumers by advertising
in farm papers. Here Is a chance for
a few enterprising farmers to work
Into a crop much more profitable than
grain, and one which will tend to Im
prove the fertility of the farm.
Food for Cows.
In a paper on "Breeding and Feed
ing for Milk," contributed to an Eng
lish dairy and farm journal by Junn
Evans ot Lincoln, the following feed
ing methods are given for a breeding
herd:
Summer In May and June, If grass
is plentiful, about two pounds cotton
cake, and later, If grass Is scarce or
dried up, three pounds or four pounds
of mixed meal or bran with It, nnd
elthrr cabbage or lucerne thrown in
tho fields; towards autumn change ot
past m o If possible, usually grass ed
dish. Winter Rations Four pounds cotton
cake, two pounds malt culms, two
pounds dried grains, two pounds bran,
three pounds mixed meal (generally
oats and wheat). Very heavy milkers
or fatting cows, 2 pounds linseed caito
extra.
In Autumn Forty pounds to CO
pounds cabbage. Later 40 to SO pounds
swedes. After Christmas, 40 pounds
mangles, when ripe, cut oat straw, long
hay once a day, rait wnter always bo
fore them, a trough between two cows.
Method of Feeding Dried grains
nnd malt culms steeped 24 hours. Then
theso wet grains and culms, tho bran
and mixed meal, with a very few
pulped roots nro mixed with tho cut
oat straw 21 hours before using, a fow
haudfuls of salt thrown In. Tho mix
ture ot tho steeped groins nnd culms
and tho pulped rootB soften the whole
lot, but this head of food must not bo
allowed to ferment, or It will make tne
milk ta-,;te. Cows receive two feeds of
this a day. This Is necessary to ena
ble them a ralso t..o cud. The cake Is
given dry, roots or eabbago are given
twice, morning and evening.
How to Improve the Farm Flock.
There are a number of ways In which
to Improve tho farm Hock. The cheap
est and surest methods, where ono does
not wish to Invest largely lu strictly
pure breeds. Is to secure from somo
reputable breeder early In autumn a
few pure bred cockerels that score up
well In tho 90s. By buying early you
ran get birds that would perhaps soil
In the spring for three times the price
asked for them now. As no breeder,
no matter how much experience ho has
had In the fancy poultry business, can
foretell Uie qualities of a fowl, the
chances are nine out of ten that a bird!
will develop nearer standard require
ments than to develop disqualified.
When pure bred males aro uaod on
mongrel hens from one year to an
other for a fow years, they show quite
a decided effect upon the flock. In se
curing males It would be well to look
well to the utility qualities of the
birds. You can build up a heavy lay
ing strain In a very short tlne If a
llttlo precaution and good judgment
are used In buying males. . Tbe most
common practice among farmers In
buying males In to accept tho cheapest
price quoted, regardless of quality. This
is a wrong Idea. Our experience la
that tho cheapest Is t..o dearest In the
end, and tho man that buys good quali
ty and pays for It will realize more in
tho end than the man that loses $3 to
save i. A flock of choice fowls can
not bo maintained with a mongrel hen
not bo maintained with a mongrel male
at the head for a breeder.
Remember, strictly choice thorough
bred males cannot bo had at market
prices, they cost more and are worth
more, an their breeding qualities will
prove, more profitable to you t the
close ot tho season. Insist upon the
best you possibly can afford and buy
no other, and you will be amply re
paid for your extra cost and trouble.

MUNICIPAL REPAIR PLANT.
A Now Department of City Govern
ment Suggested for Brooklyn,
George W. Tllton, chief engineer of
the city ot Brooklyn, has made the
suggestion to establish a municipal
asphalt repair plant to do the city'
work liiBtcad of giving It out to con
tractors. He has gone Into the matter
very thoroughly, and says the work
could be done for G2 cents per cubic
foot of material laid, whereas the
prli'O now paid to contractors Is 05
cents. There are about a million yards
of asphalt pavements out of guaranty
now and the area is increasing an
nunlly. During the present year about
70,000 cubic feet of material will bo
UBed. This will require for Its produc
tion a plant with a capacity of about
450 cubic feet per day now, which
should be capable of extension to 1000
cubic feet. Tho city owns land on
which It can bo located advantageously
and tho tolal cost, with two steam rol
lers and other plant, Is estimated at
$20,000. Interest at 3 1-2 percent and
depreciation and repairs at 10 percent
produce a fixed charge of J2700, or 4
cents per cubic foot of output at th
present requirements.
New Rubber Producing Plant.
In tbo French Congo territory ol

samples have been sent to Nigeria
for the purpose of ascertaining If It
grows thero also. Tho plant grows un
der ground, and It Its bark be broker,
the rubber keeps the pieces together,
and Is of extraordinary elasticity and

roots when about a month old contain
from six to six and one-halt percent of

Our Chinese Trade.
The Commercial and Financial
World Insists thrtlt our trade with
China Is too largo and la too rapid
ly Increasing for us to consent to its
extinction In largo part by tho clos
ing of the ports of Manehur.ln. Our
exports to China in 1R80 were worth
?!, l'H, 383: In 18!)0 they were worth
$2.!40.2i9: In 1!00 they had grown to
15,250,1G7. nnd In 1!)03 they were
worth $13,003,309. Last year tho
Lnlted States was fourth In tho lis!
of countries from which China drew
hrr Imports. Tho slgnflcance of the
Chinese trade Ties, however, In the
fact that It in susceptible ot vast do
vclopment when tho 400,000,000 sub
Joels of the Son of Heaven come into
relation with the outsido world. Our
present trade of $18,000,000 is not
one-tenth of what it may grow to be
after a few years. That pnrt of
China Manchuria which lies near
est to the United States is the only
part with which we bave so far de
veloped much trade, but tbe other
parts aco similarly promising.
Black and White Sheep,
A great deal Is being made by cer
tain newspapers of the fact that after
the suicide of a man who had been
very prominent In church work In
New York, It is discovered that he bad
mnde away with the trust funds of
tho church for which he was treasur
er. It Is a aad revelation, to Tie sure;
hut over against this there are thou
sands of men serving their churches
who havo never misappropriated a
dollar and who hold to their trust
most sacredly. That there Is a black
aheep now and then only proves that
the majority of them are white. Buf
