She was " ticky, which did- not iif mean that the bull would catch the fever, but I carelessly de f erred spraying the animal with disin fectants until too late. - "There is a general impression among Northern cattlemen that the best thing tolo with their cattle when the stock is shipped below the quarantine line or otherwise exposed to Southern fever, is to inoculate them. For my own part I am not in favor of inoculation. ' It may be effective in the long run, but a cow or bull that-has been inoculated remains in a poor, half -sick condition for four or five months after inocula tion. Thus the breeder loses so much rateable time. M PURTY GOOD."

A correspondent of Farm and Ranch says: "One of th.e most difficult prob lems -with which Southern farmers have had to wrestle is . that of proper fertilizing for cotton.

He was instantly killed.. Immediately follow ing the fatal shot the usual movement took place around the body, , but trie actors on the stage never even so much as hesitated in the delivery of their lines. When the man fell from the bench the lookout at the main en trance of the p!?.ce called out in Chi nese that the white devils were com ing. The man who did the shooting so far forgot himself as to run, and the police on a hot , scent saw him and started after the -fugitive. The man ran out of the side entrance to the auditorium and "made his way to Fish Alley. The police were close to him and saw him enter a building. at the corner of the next block. The squad hurried into the place and cap tured two well-known binders. Neith er of them had a weapon, but there were powder burns on the right hand of one of the men. Nothing could be learned from either of the prisoners. j and they were locked up with ! a charge of murder against each of them. . : The next morning in court two brothers of the murdered man swore - Storr of Wis Dosr.

But as the dog observed . the baker coming every day to leave bread for .the family, he began to re gard him in a more favorable light, ' and in time the dog and the baker b came great friends. Oe day Sir Walter ?as telling somebody, how the dog had ' attacked the baker, and as soon as te began the. story the dog skulked into the corner of the room,, turned his face to the wall, hung down his ears and lowered his tail and displayed every sign of being heartily ashamed of himself. But when he came to the end of his story and said, "But Tray didn't bite the baker," the dog-turned around, jumped and frisked about and was evidently quite restored to his . own good opinion.' To try the dog, Scott repeated the story in a different tone of voice in the midst of the con versation; but it was always the &ame. Directly he began the dog crept into the corner, but when he' came to "But Tray didn't bite the baker," he always ".aoered back in triumph. ' Tonaor4al Artist, next door to Port ( Office.

There is something more in this matter of fertilization for cotton than the character and quantity of the fertilizer. In one respect cotton differs from most staple crops, because the more fertile the soil, the greater distance the plants must have.
