November F«mast. Re». Irl R. Kicks, the St. bouts storm prophet, issues the foil owing forecasts for November: From the dad to 4th a rise of tetr perature wiU ho noted traveling from east to meat attended by a falling pressure and winds from storm producing directions. VCkm*Uness and rain will result in many parts of the country turning most probably to snow J and winding up with stiff northwest gales ami a cold wave hi northern sections. About the 8th a rest lets, unstable condition of the atmosphere with a tendency to electrical storms will be noticeable. From this to the 10th much unsettled weather and decided autumnal storms will prevail in most parts of the country. And this time these disturbances "reach their culmination, very high northerly gales, snow norms, ; and a marked cold wave may be counted i on, immediately connected on the west and | north with the storm area as it moves easti ward. If warm, autumnal rains, in other {words, are prevailing in your locality in the first stages of these and other November stormy be on the alert for the hour when the winds shift to westerly, and the barometer begins to rise—high gales and freezing S weather will come upon you over all the | central and northern sections. Reaetiou j from cold and anti-storm conditions will set into the west, and run its course eastward, attended by more precipitation, on and about the 17th. Look for a change to colder as soon as the storms ami rain pass east of your longitude. From the 20th to 84th falls, a regular storm period. During \ the first stage* of this period looking for | the falling barometer aud geuerai reaction | to warmer, with renewed aud heavy au- ! tumnal storms of raiu, wind and snow. ; The central days of those disturbance* will be about Monday, the 21st, to Wednesday. J the. 33rd. Immediately behind these storms ami covering the country generally during | the days following, look for change to very : cold weather. The last storm period for November will be central in its, results about the 27th, 38th and 23th. This period will bring a marked change to warmer, the barometer will fall generally to very low and ram turning to sleet and snow iu most sections trill pass eastward!)- | across the country. Stag storms are ati most unfailing results of the Mercury periods m cold weather, and during this < Mercury disturbance, either in the last J days of November or in early December, I : rnauy middle and northern sections will be] covered with vast areas of heavy sleet. ; Northwestern blizzards usually reach their wildest stages during the Mercury periods, especially w hen blended with other causes. | I The most general and extreme cold waves also sweep over the country at the culmination of these Mercury periods.

ture for Hag Gfealera. After experiments exteudiug over a 1 fvriotl of twenty tears, and the expenditure of many thousands of dollars, the United States government is at last combating successfully those most pernicious diseases, hog cholera and swine plague. The results 1 obtained by the bureau of hog industry ; of the agricultural department especially during the last year, have been highly satisfactory, and the scientists who have devotevl so much time and labor to the j work feel amply repaid for their efforts. The discovery of a serum which renders hoes immune fr> m the ravage of choler-. ! and plague is an important one. It means a ’ great deal to one of the foremost American industries, and the benefits arising fiWi it are almost incalculable. Tlie propagation of the serum requires tW'use of many ani- ; inals. At the experiment station, where it is made, there are donkeys, cows, calves, mules and horses, all patiently submitting to the process of inoculation and blood drawing. Strange as it may appear, not a single hog is used in making the antitoxiu fluid which is such a blessing to his. family. Hogs have not been found well adapted to the purpose for which the government uses the other animals. Donkeys are the favorites with the experiments. The station at Bethesda, Maryland, eight miles from Washington, is a unique institution. On the well kept farm there are dozens of houses and mules that are strangers to the plow and harness. There are cows whose days for giving milk are over and whose lives in the eyes of the scientist are

devoted to higher objects. The farm * j presided over by Dr. Kruest C. 8chroeder, I a man who, although still young, has made ] I a name in the scientific world. Dr. D. E. 1 Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, said recently:. I “We have used serum ,on 1,000 animals | this year and have saved 80 per cent ■ of ] [herds treated. While the treatment was going on observations were made of 1,100 j hogs in other herds not treated for the lack { of serum, and 80 per cent died. Last year j ; the percentage of hogs saved out of 340 \ treated was 75 while in other herds not j ! treated 85 per cent died. Chrysanthemum Shaw. On the evenings of November 17th and 118th, the ladies of the Presbyterian church of Petersburg will hold their fourth annual chrysanthemum show in the Patterson building. An entertainment will be given each evening, consisting of drills, choruses, recitations, etc. A sight of the beautiful chrysanthemums on exhibition will be well worth your admission fee. On each evening refreshments will be served, and on , Friday an excellent dinner, prompt attention and good service assured by waitresses. Admission. 30 cents; children, 10 cents. Persons desiring only to view the chrysanthemums Friday, IQ cents.

This may seem a rash statement in view of the apparent deadlock of the commission, caused by the refusal of the Spanish commissioners to agree ty surrender the Philippines upon the terms offered by our commissioners. If that dead look were real, it would be a rash statement, bat it is not. There are the best of reasons for the belief that this apparent dead lock is a dummy, trotted out for effect, and that the congressional campaign being over, and the administration no longer hating a reason for delaying the negotiation of the treaty, the commissioners will very speedily agree upon the amount of money that we are Uf pay Spain, and finish up the treaty. Although the treaty will say that we pay this money to Spain for the Philippines, others will regard it as paid tor otter purposes, inasmuch as the Philippines are ours by right of capture. This idea of the victorious nation paying inskmniiy to the conquered nation, has | oolyNene thing to commend it—it is original --butfthat isn’t likely to make it popular, j There will be some sharp talk on this -sub- | ject in congress, this winter, and it will not | all come from democrats, either.

If lieut. Hobson, who is still in Washington, has any of the superstition which roost persons raise-) iu the South have, be probably regards himself as having been hoodooed. He had hardiy recovered from the kfajekdown given him by the Navy department when it refused to allow hiutlto ct utmur his efforts to save the Spanish warships, surtk off Santiago, when the news reached Washington that the Mafia Teresa, the Spanish cruiser raised under his direction, had foundered in a storm, while ou its way to New York. There is much real regret over the loss of this fine ship, estimated to be worth #2,000,000, but there -are naval officials—high ones—who regard the loss with complacency, because the vessel would have been a const am reminder of Lieutenant Hobson, who has, they Clank, already receive** entirely too much glory for his work. Hobson can t talk about the way he has l>eeu treats), but some of his friends can and do most emphatically. | The faet that the members of the Fourth Ohio regiment would get home in time to vote was made apparent by Mr. McKmlevs treatment of them. Tbegegitncut, which was brought all the way from Porto Kico by special order^of the president to get their votes in, was stopj**d in Washington for the purpose of being given a reception in tae white house. The reception was first viewed from the white house portico, and was then rvx-eived in the east room by Mr. McKiuiey, who shook hands and exchanged a word or two with every member. It is the first time that any president ever accorded such an honor to a body of soldiers a' large as a regiment, but then, you know, Mr. McKinley regarded their votes as being necessary iti Ohio, and hoped that he might catch the democratic members—the colouel is a deun‘ciat—by paying them unusual attentions. Be ha Lockwood, once a presidential candidate, and for years a sort of a lawyer aud claim agent, fc?s been telling some other women exactly what brought on the war. She said it was all the wicked newspapers, aud attempted to prove the assertion. The following extract is a fair sample of her speech: “There was no need of the late war, and but for the press, it would never have blackened the pages of our history. There was nothing but what could have been settled by peaceful measures by the president and his cabinet. Yet there were who burned for glory and longed for figh\, and these, egged on by the press, which printed all their wild utterances, brought about a declaration of war. Then we forgot our civilization, and from reading the papers, we thought it would be glorious to butcher our fellow men and great to whip Spain. The papers continually piled the fuel on the flame, until five-year old children were preguated with a desire to kill,

and ran about the streets stoning everything which bore any relation to Spam." There was more of the same sort, but this was enough to show how fortunate this country is in not having a Belva Lockwood for president. Of course the army officers know better than to talk for publication about such things, but among themselves some do not hesitate that General Lawton’s testimony before a member of Mr. McKinley’s alleged investigating commission, which was extremely laudatory of the war department’s management of the Santiago campaign, might have been very different had General Lawtou not expected to be named to supercede General Graham, who was without warning deprived of his command as commander of the S»m1 corps, station at Camp Meade, Pennsylvania.

(Perdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, Newspaper Bulletin No. 69. Novembers, 1899.) Within the past few years a bacterial disease of the cabbage has income so prevalent in certain cabbage-growing localities as to occasion very serious losses to those engaged in the business. - Although it has been said to occur in Indiana, it has not come to the attention of | the station until recently. Several fields in the vicinity of Lafayette affected with this bacterial disease, have. I been examined by the writer the present: I season. In one of these fields, .containing over 30.000 plants, which were attacked early in the season, not a single marketable ; head was obtained. In other fields, judging from a cursory examination, from 10 to 50 per cent of the heads were affected. Id view of these facts, it has been thought best to send out a note of warning in regard to the disease, in order that such precautionary measures as are deemed most’ valuable may be at once employed iu keeping it in check. Fortunately the life history of the disease has been quite thoroughly studied of late, and the result of the investigations, together with other valuable in formation, may be found in Bulletin j No. 6i», of the Wisconsin experiment station, and farmers’ bulletin No. fid, of the United l>tates department of agriculture. The tatter bulletin is sent free on application to the secretary of agriculture. The conclusions of these investigators, although working independently, are essentially the same. Both are agreed that the only hope successful combatting the disease is in the careful observance of several precautionary .measures. Symptoms of disease.—A dwarfing or o»e-sided growth u' the heads, or iu case of [ an early attack, the entire absence of any heads. Occasionally the heads rot and fall off. In the leaves the symptoms usually begin at the margins and consists of a yellowing of all the affected parts, except the veins, which become decidedly brown or black. Infectiou.—The bacterial germ is conveyed to the ieates of the plant by wind or insects, and in most cases gains an entrance to the tissues of the plant through the eoges of tlie leaf.

iVeaut ionary measures.—A;? there is no remedy known, preventive measures must be relied on iu combatting the disease. These measures are as follows: Avoid planting in landdh which infected plants have been growu. Several years may be necessary to rid the land of the germs. I)o nut use manure, containing decayed i cabbage leaves, or stalks either in the seed bed or field. Wet land should be avoided, as it favors the development of the disease. Keep the plants as free from insects as possible. v Remove and destroy all diseased plants or portions of the plaut, as soon as diseased conditions is noticed. if any of the readers of this article havo been troubled with the d -ease, they will I confer a favor by reporting the same to the Indiana experiment station at Lafayette.
