Anthrax  in  Western  New  York. — 
According  to  reports  from  Rochester  a 
serious  epidemic  of  anthrax  in  cattle  has 
broken  out  in  the  herd  on  the  State  farm 
for  epileptics  at  Souyea,  Livingston 
County  At  this  writing  eight. ‘cattle  af¬ 
fected  with  the  disease  have  died  and 
caretakers  aud  inmates  of  the  place  have 
been  exposed  to  the  contagion.  The 
State  authorities  from  the  Agricultural 
Department  were  promptly  on  the  job. 
They  performed  autopsies  on  the  carcass¬ 
es  and  found  evidence  of  anthrax  in  an 
advanced  stage.  The  remaining  animals 
were  vaccinated  immediately.  They  were 
inoculated  with  serum  from  the  State  de¬ 
partment.  It  is  said  to  be  the  worst  out¬ 
break  of  this  disease  recorded  in  the 
State. 
Rain  and  IIail  Damage  Fruit.  Re¬ 
ports  from  some  sections  in  Western  New 
York  carry  the  information  that  the  re¬ 
cent  heavy  rains  and  hail  have  done  se¬ 
rious  damage  to  fruit,  particularly  grapes. 
It  is  said  that  one  of  the  inspectors  of  a 
grape  juice  company  has  made  an  inspec¬ 
tion  of  the  entire  grape  belt  and  reports 
that  there  will  be  not  more  than  50  per¬ 
cent.  of  a  normal  crop  this  Fall.  Both 
hail  and  continued  wet  weather  are  re¬ 
sponsible  for  the  trouble.  Cherries  ami 
early  apples  have  also  been  much  dam¬ 
aged. 
International  Appx.e  Shippers’  Con¬ 
vention  . — The  t  wenty-seo'  md  annua  1 
convention  of  the  International  Apple 
Shippers’  Association  will  convene  in  the 
Hotel  Astor,  New  York  City,  on  August 
lli  and  continue  in  session  for  three 
days.  Committees  are  at  work  mi  pro¬ 
gram  and  arrangements  and  a  large  at¬ 
tendance  is  expected.  A  feature  of  the 
convention  will  be  the  apple  exhibit  and 
prizes  are  offered  for  the  best  exhibits  of 
commercial  varieties.  It  is  announced 
that  the  question  of  maturity  will  have 
no  bearing  on  the  awards  as  the  variety 
of  seasons  in  the  different  States  is  to  he 
taken  into  consideration  in  making  the 
awards,  but  only  commercial  varieties  are 
to  compete.  The  exhibit  is  open  to  the 
world  anti  the  only  condition  is  that  the 
fruit  must  be  grown  in  the  State  repre¬ 
sented.  Exhibits  may  be  shipped  to  W. 
M.  French,  care  Hotel  Astor,  who  is 
chairman  of  the  committee  in  charge  of 
exhibits.

RID-OF-RATS 
Rats  are  the  most  cunning  boasts  known.  They  will  eat  anything  but 
poison.  They  will  go  anywhere  except  in  a  trap.  But  Uld-uf- Rats  (Noil- 
Poisonous)  gels  them  every  time.  So  delicious  to  Rats  and  Mice  that  they 
go  for  it  like  flies  for  molasses.  Clears  this  destructive  pest  in  short 
order  from  houses,  corn  cribs,  grain  bius,  poultry  houses,  stables,  etc. 
Harmless  to  domestic  animals.  To  clear  a  farm,  figure  at  the  rate  of  3 
cents  pel-  acre;  once  cleared  1  cent  per  acre  per  year  will  keep  it  clear. 
Give  Kid -of  Rats  a  trial.  If  it  doesn’t  do  all  we  claim,  simply  write  us, 
and  back  comes  the  money.  If  your  dealer  cau't  supply  you,  order  direct 
from  us. 
Sample  box  10  cents.  Dozen  boxes  $1.00  east  of  Miss.;  $ 1.20  west  of  Miss.
