The railroads do not know
whether cotton will begin to move
to market as soon as it is picked,
as in all former years, or wheth-
er the farmers will hold it at the
farms or at concentration points.
However, the railroads are getting
all of their rolling stock in repair
in the hope that the movemnt will
b eethe same as in past years.
Discussion of the new concen-
tration rules made by the Texas-
railroad commission took up part

ton conference.

Barstow, Tex., July 29.—Sheep
feeding will figure as an impor-
tant industry of the Barstow
country hereafter. Between 8,-
000 and 9,000 head will be fed
this winter by three or four al-
faflfa marers adjoining this town,
and the number may reach 15,000.
The most extensive of these feed-
rs is R. L. McKnight, who has
bought 4,200 lambs and will make
mutton sheep of them. McKnight
has bought and is now erecting
two silos of a combined capacity
of 40 tons. He will divide his
sheep in two lots, giving one lot
kaffir silage and cotton seed
meal, and the other crushed kaf-
fir and milo heads and chopped
alfalfa. He fed about 900 sheep
last winter, and though conditions
were very unfavorable then, he
used up a lot of damaged hay,
worth about $6 on the market,
and when marketed through these
sheep it brought him about $12 a
ton.
Charles Haugbton will feed
about 3,000 sheep, which he has
engaged in New Mexico. He has
just put up a silo for economical
feeding. Five other farmers are
figuring on getting in the feed-
ing business.

Washington, July 28.—To has-
ten restoration of trade, ,details
of the arrangement under which
the Russian embargo on exports
to the United States will be lift-
ed will be worked out with the |
Russian Ambassador, George |
Bahkmeteff. A request that this
course be taken was cabled to the
State Department today fram Pe-
trograd. Immediate steps will
be taken to perfect the plan for
an early resumption of trade be-
tween Russia and this country.
Under the proposal accepted by
the Russian Government in
agreeing to lift the embargo,
Russian shipments will be consign'
ed to Secretary Redfield of the
Department of Commerce, who
will distribute to importers and|
merchants in this country under
guarantee that no Russian prod-
ucts will find their way into
countries at war with Russia. Ne-
gotiations with the Russian Am-
bassador are expected to devel-
op a method of distributing ship-1
ments under bond to be held by
the Secretary until the merchan-
dise has been consumed.
The Russian agreement culmi-
nates successfully negotiations in
progress for months, brought
about by pressure from Ameri-
cna importers and manufacturers
whose demands for Russian prod-
ucts, particularly vetch seed for
fertilizer, hides, skins and mineral
oil, have been insistent.
The Money Cost of Preventable
Disease.
[Prepared for The Jacksboro
Gazette by Dr. A. C. Ellis, Direc-
tor, Extension Department, Uni-1
versify of Texas.]
Typhoid fever costs the eoun-j
try $350,000,000 a year. The city!
of Pittsburgh alone has been
shown by careful investigation to
have lost $3,142,000 from typhoid
in one year. The discovery that
typhoid is produced by a special
germ, which is usually got from
the water or milk supply or from
flies, has made it possible to con-
trol this expensive disease. As
soon as all citizens have good
sanitary training, this $350,000,-
expense for typhoid can be elim-
inated. It has been shown that
"in the numerous cities in which
the water supply alone has been
made sanitary, typhoid has been
reduced on the average 71 pei
cent. This disease is estimated
to be 85 per cent preventable by
modem sanitation. The new ty-
phoid vaccine now affords prac-
tically perfect immunity and will
soon eradicate this dreadful and I
expensive disease. In 1911, the1
first year of the use of vaccine
in the army, 65 per cent of the
typhoid fever cases disappeared;
in 1912, 68 per ..cent of the small
remaining fraction disappeared
and during 1913 there were only
two cases reported in the entire
army of 80,000 troops. One of
these was contracted before the
man was immunized. The other
was reported jn China and the
