She prompt. ly did so, On opening her eyes in a few seconds the doctor was nowhere to be seen, and the woman awoke to the fact that he had left her standing by herself in a busy thoroughfare with her eyes shut and her tongue hanging out.

Remarkable Feature Is That They Are Transmitted Through Eggs of In sect-Plague Will Appear in Short Time After Infection. The microscopic parasite which causes the disease known as Texas fever or tick fever of cattle is found in the blood of affected animals and is transferred from one to another by means of the fever tick. A remark able feature of this transaction is that the disease-producing parasites are transmitted through the eggs of the tick that draws the blood, and not directly by the old tick, as an en gorged tick after dropping from the host (cow) dies without even attach ing itself to another animal. But its offspring, produced by the eggs laid after it drops off and before it dies, carry the infection and inoculate the first cow they get on. The length of time elapsing be tween the exposure of susceptible cat tle to infection by ticks and the ap pearance of Texas fever among them is dependent upon the climate and the development of the ticks. Thus, if northern cattle are placed on pastures, highways, or in pens, cars, etc., in summer immediately after the prem ises have been infested with ticks from southern cattle, Texas fever may occur in 30 to 60 days, as the fe male ticks which drop from southern cattle must lay eggs and these must hatch before the northern animal be comes infested with ticks, and there by inoculated with the disease. Aft er the seed ticks become attached to the animal the disease will appear in about ten days in summer or a somewhat longer period in winter. In fact, the disease may occur before the ticks are large enough to be seen without a very careful search. One objection that has been ad vanced against the fact that the cattle tick is a carrier of Texas fever is that cattle are sometimes found to be suf fering with the disease without show ing the presence of ticks on their bodies. This condition in the case of southern cattle may be explained by the fact that the animal already had its blood infected with the parasites and under normal conditions was re sistant to Texas fever; however, as a result of lowered vitality caused by some other disease, or by exposure, privation, injury, rough handling, etc., this resistance has been reduced and finally overcome, and the parasites at last succeed in producing the disease. On the other hand, when the disease is observed in northern animals, the young seed ticks may be so small and so few in number as to be unobserved. Under certain conditions, as when living on horses, mules, etc., the ticks lose their infectiousness, and when southern cattle not previously infect ed with any but these noninfectious ticks come in contact with infectious ticks they are just as susceptible as cattle raised on tick-free pastures. Publications containing full infor mation about the ticks and giving directions for getting rid of them may be obtained free on application to the bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. TWO THREE-HORSE EVENERS. Australian Gives Plans for Their Con struction Laid Out on Unusual ,Plan. A writer of the Town and Country Journal of Australia gives that paper plans for making two three-horse eveners laid out on rather unusual plans. The accompanying illustra tion show a plan of single trees which are light, easy to handle, strong and durable. They save wagon whifle trees, as it is not necessary to carry Horse Eveners. them from wagon to plow and back again. They save changing tugs, as they can be unhitched from a wagon and hitched directly to a plow or har row. It is not necessary to enter up on a lengthy description of the de sign and working of these single trees, as the illustration will convey a better idea than any explanation. Pasture on Bottom Lands. Meadow lands that cannot be con verted to the growing of corn or other crops may be turned into a pasture for cattle, horses and hogs. Orchard grass may be sown, two and one-half bushels to the acre, and ten pounds of red clover seed. These ripen to. gether and make an excellent hay. The only objection to orchard grass Is its tendency to grow In clumps with vacant spans between. This is ob viated by heavy seeding and the mix ing with some other seeds, as advised. October is probably the best time to sow the seeds. Eventually in all probability, Johnson grass will take possession of the land and hold it against all comers-except the teeth and feet of cattle and hogs Lambing Data. The time that elapses between serv ice and lambing runs from 145 to 150 days; about 147 days will catch the great majority. As in mares, the males are carried slightly longer than the females. Old ewes, say from four to six years, will produce the most lambs and will save the most. There are more single lambs produced by young ewes than by older ones. Never allow animals of other spe cies to be kept in the same room with milch cows. BUILDING A CONCRETE SILO. Those of Single Wall Are Most Com mon Style of Construction--Out line of Plan. A writer in a farmer's bulletin lately issued from Washington says that the single wall concrete silo is the most common style of construction. The thickness of the walls of silos now in use varies from six inches at the bot tom to four inches at the top for the lightest wall to a wall two feet in thickness, which is the heaviest of which the department has record. Six Concrete Silo Completed. inches seems to be the most desirable thickness for common sizes of silos under existing practice. The walls might be made lighter at the top, but the saving of material would hardly balance the trouble of varying the size of the forms. The double wall concrete silo at present is made only with a patented form. The illustration shows a double wall concrete silo made by forms owned by the farmers co-operative concrete silo company. The inner wall is 51% inches thick, the outer wall 3% inches thick and the two tied together with steel ties with a three-inch air space be tween. Circulation is prevented by inserting horizontal tar paper parti tions 3% feet. This construction, besides being as satisfactory as the single wall method, is is said, places it entirely above any criticism in re gard to freezing. The patent forms being of steel plate enable a very smooth job to be secured. MULE IS VALUABLE ANIMAL. Worth More Money Than the Horse, and Always Finds a Ready Market. The average farmer is probably not aware of the fact that an average mule sells for ten dollars per head more than horses. Such is the case, and the price has been gradually ris ing for a number of years. There has never been what could be called an overproduction of mules, while the market has often been unable to sup ply the trade. The mule matures more quickly than the horse, and can be placed on the market from one to two years sooner than the average horse. This means a large profit to the producers and quicker returns for the invest ment. A well-fed mule can be worked at two years of age with safety, if proper judgment is exercised by the driver. They are much less nervous than a horse, thus much less liable to accident or blemish. A blemish that would make a fine horse unsal able would take but a trifle from a mule. The mule is less liable to wire cuts and blemishes for the reason that they are more careful about run ning into anything than a horse is. You will see six or eight horsers scarred and blemished from wire where you will see one mule scarred from it. The mule is a taxpayer and a mort gage lifter for the farmer; he is ready sale at weaning time, at one year, two years, or when he is able to work. The mule is ready money at any age, The horse colt does not sell until it is three or four years old and broken to work and drive. SET HAVANA TOBACCO PLANTS To Be Grown on Selected Land In Massachusetts and Its Progress Carefully Watched. Three one-acre tracts of the best to bacco land have been selected, lo cated on Massachusetts farms. On each of these tracts about 9,000 tobacco plants will be set of the Hal liday Havana type, and these carefully grown and handled through the sea. son under the joint direction of Prof Stewart and Prof. Brooks. Occasion al gatherings of the growers of the valley will be held on the several tracts to note the progress of the ex periments and gain information as to the best methods of culture. The plants for these tracts are now being grown at Tariffville, Conn., and the setting will take place from the 20th to the 25th of this month, sa's the Springfield Republican. Wherever this new variety of tobacco has been grown great results have followed and its widespread adoption has taken place. The proposed experiments will demonstrate whether this new leaf can be successfully grown in Massachusetts, and is expected to give much valuable information on to bacco growig in general as the ex pert methods to be used on these tracts are noted by the growers. Fertilizers and Manure. Farmyard manure is weak in both phosphoric acid and potash, and these elemnts are supplied in fertilizers. While they may be used alone, (t is customary to use them in connection with farm manure, which will prac tically mean crop insurance, and wlly actually prove so, with sufficient moisture. Crops can be grown con tinuously on fertilizers containing all the elemnts of plant food. This was demonstrated at the experiment sta tion at Rothamsted, England, where for 42 years wheat was grown on chemical fertilizer without manure, and yielded a larger average crop per year than a similar section, on wh1e farmyard manure was used.

HIS PLEASURE A LATE ONE. Probably Mr. Hogan Did Not Realize Just What Might Be Made of His Expression. Casey was dead, and to do honor to him the members of the Thirteenth district Tammany organization at tended the funeral in a body, says the New York Press. Slowly and sadly they filed past the coffin and took a last look at their departed comrade. At the door each man paused to shake hands with the sorrowing widow and to murmur a few words of condolence. When it came to Mr. Hogan's turn, he retained possession of her hand, while he delivered a lengthy oration con cerning the good qualities of the de funct Mr. Casey. "Sure, 'tis plain you knew my hus band well, sir," said the tearful Mrs. Casey. "Only by sight, ma'am, only by sight," Mr. Hogan hastened to ex plain, "I never had the pleasure of meetin' him 'til to-day." ITCHED FOR TWELVE YEARS.

'A friend of mine Insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies, but I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that I had to do something.
