A somewhat similar condition of

Third street. Two cases wero found

nnd tho report of thorn was made In n

fined to no particular locality of the
city, and the yellow flng waa run up
lit every direction. An excellent fea
ture of the situation, however, is that
reeoverlea and dfsoharge of patients
nro numerous. Tills Is the fortieth

noon tho total number of recoveries
exceeded the total numbor of cases

ho should do no. Hut he did not ven
ture to do bo without tho eoliscnt t t his

tho subject. He sent a pmclamatljn
to every village In his empire, telling
what ho wanted to do and explaining
the advantages that would accrue to
him tind to the empire from such a
toir. and asking the people to take a
voto on tho subject and lot him know
the result, ho the question wns sub

by rending books on agriculture and
agricultural pipers. Ho had got, as
Boss oxprcsswl It, "hlRh-kcr-flutln
Ideas" on farming In general and tho
cow In particular. Ono proof of this
waa In tho action of Johnson when ho
sold oft all tho cows ho had and took
tbo price and put It Into n single cow
of great milk and butter-producing
capacity, lloss said that this wns a
ploco of foolishness that could lmvo
como only from Johnson'a continual
roadlng of agricultural papers. Any
way, every fnrmcr know that a cow
waa n cow and that was all thero was
to It, and tho man that would go Into
fancy stock of thnt kind wns simply
wastlnc his money. Why, If ho had
only put his money Into n high-bred
hunting dog, thoro mlfiht hnvo been
somo reason to It.
However, Johnson continued to milk
his cow nnd Koss did tho same. Doth
sent their butter to the Bamc market
and not nbout tho snmo prlco por pound,
as tho butter Johnson mado was from
only ono cow nnd thoreforo could not
well bo sont to n distant market or to
fancy customers. Johnson's wlfo kept
account of tho receipts nnd expendi

Itoss, wishing to show that a common
cow would do as muoh ns a high-bred
one, nlso kept nccottnt on her aide,
though Mr. Iloss said that that, too,
waa a ploco of foolishness. At tho end
of thrco months Mrs. Itoss confided to
hor husband that tho cost of keeping
their cow had Just equalled tho ro
ccplts, while tho Johnson cow had 17
or thorcnbouls standing to hor credit.
Iloss went out Into tho country nnd
paid 1S for another cow, nnd Mrs.
Iloss' hopes wcro accordingly rained,
Dut tho two cows cost about doublo tho
COSt of one. nnd In ivrn mnnthn mnrn
ho found from his wlfo's accounts that
tno two cows had mado a profit of only
11.85, whllo tho credit to tho Johnson

In tho northern section of tho United
States caroful attontlon should bo given
tho selection of breeds, says Poultry

farmer whether somo particular brcod
may (ay a fow moro oggs during the
yonr than another, as his object should
bo to kcop only thoeo that aro hardy,
and nblo to stand tho cold winters. In
making a solcctlon, tho propor courae
to pursuo Is to visit tho yards of thoso
who hnvo fowls that have given good
results In his section, and In purchas
ing stock aim to aoloct tho most vigor
ous. Urccds that have small combs
and whloh nro hoavlly feathered should
thrlvo better In wlntor than will oth
ers, but such breeds should have also
been bred for vigor. I: is of no ad
vantage to buy special prlzo-wlnners
when tho awards hnvo been for special
points In tho show-room, but tbo birds
should bo puro bred, however, having
stout limbs, dcop breasts and eyes In
dicating health. U is tho hon that lays
every week iu tho year, oxcopt when
hatching chicks or undergoing tho
process of moulting, that pays tho
most, but such hens can only bo hn4
by careful selection and duo considera

proper manngomont.
