Dangeroas rrtriUoc. of the Ilra. and Maaaures for Its Eradication Artichokes for Itoga Farm Notes au lloaie II iu t a. Tuberculosis In Cows. The most common disease of coves is that known as tuberculosis, more commonly reccgnized by the popular term, consumption. inis common name is given to this disease from the fact that the various vital organs Implicated are gradually consume oy a germ ,nai lives at tne expense oi tiie tissue, and changes It into degraded, cheesy, dead matts-r, which being gathered into small or larger knots or tubercles, jrivos reason for the scientific name of the disease tuberculosis. It is a common belief that this dis ease affects only the luii're of an aci uial or a person. The truth is quite otnerwise. it may invado any par of tho body; tho lungs, or their serous covering, the pleurae, by which not only the lungs but the whole cavity of the chest is covered, and which is a frequent seat of dis ease: the membrane supporting th bowels, (tho mesentery), the coats of the bowels, the throat, the spleen,, the aver, t!ie pancreas, the kidneys the ovarieri, sometime? the muscles. and frequently the soft ends of the bones. In female animals tho mam mary glandn, the udder, as it is com monly known is a frequent seat of tne disease, Cattle are more subject to this dis ease than other animals, writes Henry Stuart in Colman's Rural Woild. Sheep and swine are the next in order of subjection, and fowls follow after these, but theiio last mentioned rarely suffer except irom infection by swallowing the ejected matter from tho patients of hospitals of persons diseased In pri vate houses that has been thrown out where tho fowls can pick it up. Tho use of the milk of tuberculosed cows, especially when the udder or the ovaries are the seat of the dis ease, has been the" most effective means of communication. And it has been observed with the utmost Interest by statisticians and physi cians tnat tne deaths of Infants by consumption have been greatly in creased since the more general adop lion oi cow s milk: for their food. There are some cows that seem to have a natural predisposition to tu berculosis. This is due, doubtless. to Inherited conditions, by which these pocuiiar features have been caused, such as tho' Ions lec-s. the narrow chest, the thin, long neck. narrow forohoad, and the semi-trans lucent cars, with a sllrry softness of the hair and thinness of tho skin, all of theso denoting weakness of consti tution. And with these there is a copious flow of milk, thin and bluish in Jcoloi and poor in fats. Such an animal having any local inflammation set up from whatever cause becomes the easy subject of attack and the ready victim to the best. This nat ural predisposition may bo sot in ac tion by var ious causes that are com mon to dairies either not well man aged or carried on under a method by which the cows are over-stimulated by high feeding to procure increased product. The system gives way un der either condition, and the disease attacks the herd in tho most insid ious manner. Thus the hisrh-bred cows, bred too closely, bo that a weak constitution is inherited, as well as the town slop fed herds, in their wretched, noisome stables, fall vic tims to the disease. The first symptoms of the disease are easily apparent Indeed, soma of the worst cases have occurred in dairies where the owner could scarcely be convinced of tho truth of theannouncementof the veterinarian, untii tlie Post-'n&l'tera examination, by which tho diseased organs were Plainy corroborative of the daaj; nosis.

The profuse diarrhea, with general emaciation, dullness, large. ex ceedingly bright eyes, dryness of the nor, and apparent fever and rapid pulse, indicate that tho bowels are the seat of the disorder. When tho throat is arreted tho gland are enlarged, and the dry cough alight, and . ldum noticed, excrpt by the waUhful attendant, afford the toti. mony to the fact The unnatural delr for the company of tho male Indicates the iliina.o .

The only thing to bo lone is to avert the diseaso by time ly precautions. o animal exhibit ing any of tho predisposing charac teristics should bo used for breeding. and tho elegant, slender, deer-like form is to be discarded for the more robust, if not so handsome, animal whose healthfulness is apparent 2so doubt, tho fortunately now dis carded habit of choosing breeding animals for color or figure has had much to do with the present prev alence of this disease among tho Jerseys, who seem to bo almost the sole victims to this veritable pestilence. Tho cf fective measures taken by tho agri cultural department for tho mitiga tion and eradication of tho old-timo decimating disease, plouro-pnou- monia, have been crowned by re ..i. i i . maiKauio success, una ino same measures to eradicate this equally destructive disease might ho applied, doubtless with the same invaluable result. And this well deserves tho greater attention on account of tho imminence oi tne infection amono- unguarded porsons, and especially the helpless infants whose lives are destroyed by tho uso of tho infected food. It Is a fact well known to and authoritatively declared by experts that the death rate amonar these helpless infants has been trebled since the introduction of the widely used but deadly milk bottle. The entire immunity of theso infants may be secured by general use of tho sterilizing apparatus recommended by the United States ' dt partraent of agriculture. This simple precaution for safety should bo in uso in every household. Artichokes for Ho;. I would like to give my brother farmers a few items of my experience with artichokes. I have grown the white Jerusalem artichoke for three years and would not try to run my farm without them. La6t summer when tho crops were cut short by tho drought and everything drying up, my artichokes were green and thrifty and continued to crow until frost. They are a largo tuberous rooted vegetable which are lust cominar into favor for stock feed, and for hogs aro excellent as the crop Is so easily handied. In tho fall when the stalks are dry tho hogs can bo turned to fatten and finish up with a little corn. The tubers that remain in the ground will come up the next spring and produce tho next crop without any tnoro planting or cultivating. No umount of freez- ng in the ground Injures them, and always leave an acre or two for spring use. Here 1 turn my hogs to fatten for spring market and finish them rvith a little corn, l'lowed out 1 and pittod in tho fall, they aro ex cellent to feed cows, calves and colts urmg the winter. Six bushels will plant an acre, and one acre in good soil will yield from eight hundred to one thousand bushels. Plant, any time in April. Farm Notei. V rap the butter for sale in parch ment paper.

I'fwiHry i t t "H; SHOOK FISTS IN THE HOUSE. Messrs. Meredith and Fonk llarel Aert m I'eraonavl Collialon. Yashixoto!. March 5. The house yesterday entered upon the considera tion of appropriation bills. The forti fication bill, carrying something- over rJ.OOO.OOO, passed and then the pen sion appropriations was taken up. This bill usually leads to considerable display of political feeling, and yes terday was no exception. An alterca tion occurred between Mr. Meredith of Virginia and Mr. Funk of Illinois over tho former's attempt to prove there were many fraudulent pensions on the rolls which almost resulted in a personal collision. Mr. Meredith, who was the aggressor, rushed over to the place where Mr. Funk was stand ing and shook his fist in the latter' face. Hot words were spoken, but friends Interfered, and the speaker restored order before any blows were struck. Mr. O'Neill of Massachusetts, in charge of the measure, explained its provisions. The bill carried for t he fiscal year ending June 30, 18!I0, c!4,5l'j,330 less than the bill last year. The original estimate for the coining' fiscal year was f 1(12,000,000, but it had leen revised and cut down later bv Commissioner Lochren. Mr. O'Neill argued that while the appropriations for pensions might waver for a few years, the maxims of pensions ap propriations had been passed, and thereafter there would be a material reduction in the amount needed for pensions. There were on the rolls in 1HU3 1m5,0I3 pensioners. The annual increase ins been steadily declining. The first year after the act of Ihuo 140,000 hud been added to the rolls; the second year.. 100.000: the third ,-erir, uo.ooo. Mr. O'Neill took occas on, in the course of his speech, to de fend tho course of Commissioner Lochren. In reply to inquiries ho believed the amount carried by the bill would meet the demands for all just pensions. GENERAL EARLY DEAD.

ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP AT ST. JOE. As Hoot as the Rnglneer Grasped U SitaaUoa II Thresr Wide Open the ThrotUe and Dropped to the Flour of Ills Cab When Commanded by Fosnr Masked Men to fttop the Train. St. Joseph, Mo., March 5. Four masked bandits made an attempt to hold np Rock Island passenger train No. 18, Chicago bound, at a point near stock bridge, three miles east of this city last night, but the nerve displayed by Engineer James D. McKinney, in charge of the train, saved his com pany a heavy loss in treasure, and he also escaped with his life. Passenger train No. 18, east-bound, Conductor J. A. Wisnor, left the Union depot at 7:25 p. m. Three miles 4asfe of this city, and but half a mile jCrora where the Kli was robbed two months ago, Is a deep cut As the train glided into the cut, a red lantern was flashed across the track near the middle of the cut, and torpedoes exploded under the wheels. " McKinney looKed a little beyond the lantern and saw several men with puns, and it Instantly flashed through his mind that they were robbers. His) train was nearly to a standstill when he realized this fact, but he lost no time, and seizins the throttle, pulled her wide open. Then he and the fire man jumped down into the bottom of the cab, and not a minute too soon, for . when the robbers saw the move they fired a volley into the engine ami cab. bat luckily hurt no one. The train dashed throutrh amid a perfect shower of bullets, the bandits wild with rac-e, firing into the couches - as they passed and -creating consterna tion among the passengers, who crawled down under the seats and hid their valuables. When the train reached Stockbridge it was found over 100 bullets bad hit it Messages were at once sent back to this city and a force of police are scourlnir the conn try. There were fonr of the robbers in the party and they wore white masks, but none of the in could be recognized. As the engine whizaed by one of the rob bers called to tho engineer by name, saying: "Stop that engine, McKinney, you ,orwe will kill you." At the same time he emptied the con tents of two revolvers into tho cab. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.. Blanufaotores ere Hlowly Increasing hy Reason of Kxhaostton of (Stocks. New York, March 6. R. G. Dun & Co. 'a Weekly Review of Trade saysi With no more definite information than a week ago regarding the out come of financial or revenue dis- . putes, perhaps more people have , nnma tj. l.llof 41,.. .., come to the belief that the end will answer their wishes. Certaiuly rather more are taking limited risks in business, especially in stocks. A substantial basis is the slowly grow ing demand for goods caused by grad ual exhaustion of stocks held by deal ers, and this has further enlarged the working force in manufactures. More works have resumed or in creased hands or hours than have stopped or reduced, but numerous re ductions in wages continue to lessen the purchasing power of those at work. The demand at distributors is almost exclusively for medium or low-priced woolen and cotton goods, for 81.50 and for $3 boots and for shoes rather than boots.
