AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Preventing Swine Plague.
Dr. Detmera of the Ohio University, a
gentleman well known from his investi
gations with the microscope, andespecial
ly in swine fever, in a late address upon
this subject, held, and correctly, that
once hogs are attacked but little can be
done to save them. Only at the begin
ning, or before extensive morbid changes
are produced, is it feasible to treat
them. If the infection has taken place
through the digestive canal it may be
worth while to try an emetic of pow
dered white hellebore. From two to
fifteen grains, according to the age and
size of the hog, would be about the
dose. It may be given in a boiled
potato, or on the surface of a littlo milk.
If neither the one nor the other is volun
tarily taken, the hog is far gone and may
be given up as a bad case. If one dose
should not cause the animal to vomit, in
say twenty minutes, another one may bo
given in about half an hour. This treat
ment may be followed by a few doses of
calomel, also to be given with a boiled
potato. Of other medicines tried, he
says:
I ‘l have had the best success with car
bolic acid, and have obtained good re
sults—that is, a prevention of a plain
outbreak of the disease—by giving once
a day from eight to ten drops of a 95
per cent, solution of carbolic acid for
every 100 pounds of live weight in the
water for drinking. lodine in a watery
solution—ten grams of iodine and twelve
grains of iodide of potassium to one
ounce of water—and that given in small
doses, has also proved to be very effec
tive, but the damage done to the pig by
this iodine treatment becomes very soon
apparent. Hypophosphate of soda has
also been tried, and has given favorable
results. It may be given in dose 9 suffi
ciently large to loosen the bowels, and
be dissolved in the water for drinking.
‘ The most obvious physiological effect
of carbolic acid upon a hog is a reduction
of the temperature. 'Whether it is ihis
or some other property that retards or in
terferes with the propagation of the
swine-plague germs I am not prepared to
decide, and to discuss theories would
lead too far and be of little use. It may
therefore suffice to state that the results
of such a treatment have on the whole,
been favorable. If, however, the organ
ism is already pervaded by the disease
germs, or if important morbid changes
are existing, nothing whatever can be ex
pected of the carbolic acid treatment,
because the propagation has already taken
place, and the acid, most a suredly, can
not repair the existing morbid changes.
Neither can any other medicine. For
disinfecting purposes we have, however,
cheaper substances than earboli acid;
for instance, chloride of lime and a one
per mille solution of corrosive subli
mate.”
Dr. Salmon, Chief of the Animal Bu
reau of the l nite I States, says that for
disinfecting, corrosive sublimate, one to
75,000 parts, will kill the bacteria of
swine-plague. The solui ion not used for
drinking should bo freely sprinkled over
the lot, yard, or pens in which the swino
are kept. Sulphuric a id, one to 2,000
parts, is also recommended.
Farm and Garden Notes.
An Indiana farmer, after experiment,
says the Cots wold is the most profitable
sheep to keep for mutton and wool.
Some dairymen save the last fourth of
the milk from the cow in a separate
vcsjcl, and pour it directly into a cream
jar.
Avoid top ventilation in the poultry
house, it will cause croup, swelled
head, closed eyes and other difficul
ties.
The standard for a good cow is said
to be 50 > gallons of milk a year, and of
this there should he ten per cent, of
ersam.
An authority says slight elevations are
safer places for the grape than bottom
lauds, on account of the early and late
frosts.
Plant trees for wind breaks if you live
in thinly-wooded districts. They will
serve as useful protectors of crops and
stock.
With proper care and skill a well se
lected iloek of the right kind of sheep
can be made to pay 100 per cent on their
cost every year.
V\ hen a horse is taken into the stable,
tired, muddy and sweaty, lie ought to
stand to hay at first, he gently binned in
warm water and then rubbed with cloths
tdi thorough!v drv.
A good agency for keeping the air of
the cellar sweet and wholesome is white
wash made of good white lime and water
only. Lime in whitewash greatly pro
motes the complete oxidation of effluvia
in the cellar air.
After fro-t has pinched the grasses
they are no longer sufficient for cattle
that must be keptjn good flesh, not for
cows giving mills. Add enough grain,
and the grass will serve much bettor to
maintain good condition.
In preparing food for stock, such as
cooked vegetables, chopped feed, etc.,
always season with salt livery animal
craves, and mud have, a certain amount
of saline matter introduced into its sys
tem to enable it to thrive.
In no other country in the world are
the feathers of the barnyard fowls so
recklessly wasted as our own. In 1 'ranee
no part of the fowl is wasted, unless,
perhaps, it be the intestines. The feet
and heads arc used at the chenper rest
aurants to give body to tlieir soups, etc.
It is advised, says the Cincinnati
Comimrcial, not to allow peach trees to
bear fruit until after the third year. We
think it better to allow them to bear
whenever they can, and to plant young
trees every spring to take the places of
those killed by frost, accidents or care
lessness.
Seed corn intended for next season
should be thoroughly dried or it will not
answer. If perfectly dry it will endure
very severe cold, but if containing much
water in its composition the extremely
cold weather will injure the germ. Dry
it well, and hang it up in a dry place of
•ven temperature.
A new luxury in the vegetable line is
now on the market. It is called the
Spanish odorless onion; is imported from
Spain; Varies in size from six to twelve
inches, and in looks closely resembles
the ordinary onion. They are sweet, and
can be eaten as apples at any times with
little tear of an offensive breath.
To make superior hams and bacon,
says Column's Rural, corn should be
mixed with oats or barley, or perhaps
rye might answer, at the rate of one-half
to a third of one of the latter to the
former, and ground thus together. Such
feed increases the proportion of tender,
juicy lean streaking the fat, which is
essential to produce a fine quality of
hams and bacon.
The old-fashioned, sweet scented pot
evergreen, known as daphne indica, is
st ll everywhere popular, though as a
general thing it is kept too warm. A
temperature of from forty-five to fifty-
five degrees is enough for it. It is an
admirable room plant or tor cool conserv
atories. They are natives of China and
require about the same temperature as a
camellia.
In filling a box with ordinary house
plants, it is better to have the plants in
pots, for then the box is perfect at com
mencement, an'd will bo more likely to
remain so. By being plunged in earth
they are not liable to suffer from
drought, and will not grow so fast as to
“draw up” and become unsightly. The
plants being root-bound will be far more
prolific with bloom.
Rules for Building.
The Country Gentleman gixes the fol
lowing rules by way of suggestion for
Country residents, farmers and others
who intend to erect dwellings in the
spring:
( hoose a good spot for the house—
healthy, dry, with good drainage—and
if possible, with a good prospect, land
scape and trees. Surfacejvater should
run off in every direction.
Secure provision for pure water, if not
by wells and springs, then with filtered
rain water. .Many lives by us
ing impure water.
Place the house where it will be most
accessible from all parts of the farm, as
nearly as may be, for the convenience of
the owner and his men in their constant
labors.
Beginning at the basement or cellar,
let it be well lighted, with double glazed
windows, and always kept dry and clean,
so us never to need cleaning.
I et the cellar extend under the whole
house, for preserving the timbers from
rotting, and affording the room.
For country houses wood is usually
best and cheapest. Stone walls are cold
and damp, unless well furred, lathedand
plastered. All brick walls should have
air spaces. In building with wood,
adopt balloon frames with air spaces be
tween outside and interior plastering,
with the additional security of using
building paper or brick inside, and use
plenty of nails, as they are the cheapest
strengtheners.
If the cellar has not perfect natural
drainage, lay a tile outside all around
the wall, a foot and a half below the wall,
with free discharge: and cross drains
into it to keep the cellar free from damp
ness.
Few spacious windows arc better than
many contracted ones.
Avoid hanging doors to swing outside
on stair-landings, and never place them
so as to strike each other when opened.
Jledrooms should be large enough to
avoid placing the bed against a window
or closet door.
Plenty of closets should be provided,
and hang the closet door so that the
closet may receive light from the nearest
window.
Adjoining the kitchen, dining or liv
ing room, should be a small room acces
sible from outside, for workingmen to
leave muddy boots and overcoats, and
to wash their hands.
In the country, avoid basement kitch
ens, and place kitchen, living room and
common bedrooms all on one floor, for
ready a;'' ess.
To deaden the floor between the cellar
and room above, nail flooring on the
lower sides of the joists, place on this
two or three inches of concrete and then
lay the floor This will exclude sounds,
prevent rising exhalations from fruit
room or cellar, and prove additional se
curity against fire.
Kitchen windows, being in constant
use, should be hung on weights; and
they should always be on opposite sides,
to give full light and free ventilation.
A square or rectangular home gives
the most room for the same amount of
outside walls; but .some exception must
be made in order to obtain light and side
ventilation.
Avoid receding angles in roofs as much
as possible, as they are a frequent cause
of leakage.
1 asily accessible verandas may be
made with high ceilings, to prevent
darkening windows.
A high ceiling to rooms poorly venti
lated is not so good as one of moderate
height, but well ventilated.
A Comanche Chiefs Funeral.
I p oif!leaver Creek, in the Nation,
the other day, old Otter Pelt, one of the
greatest of the Comanche chiefs, suc
cumbed to the grim reaper Death, and it
was all is his honor. lie knew he was
going to die, and just five minutes b -
fore he breathed his last they held him
erect and rigged the old . hief in his best
war costume. They painted him as red
as a sunset, set his war bonoot on his
head, tie I up his hiir in beaver skins,
and then laid him down just as his spirit
winged its flight. tter Belt, while a
good man for a Comanche, was rather
inclined toward the doctrines of Brig
ham Young, only he contented himself
with a less number of wives—in fact,
limited himself to five. The way these
squaws took on when the chief was no
more was a sight neve.' fo be forgotten.
Taking sharp butcher kuives, they
slashed their faces with long, deep ruts,
till they were cover and with blood. They
also <ut themselves in other places, and
tin n beat their bleeding bodies and
palled their hair, and all the while lit
tering the most doleful and plaintive
cries. They then burned everythi g
they had, their two tepees, furniture,
clothing, and all—even the biggest part
of the clothing they wore. There was a
big crowd of bucks present at the obse
quies, of course, and, as is the Indian
fashion, they slew ten head of horses in
honor of Otter Belt’s memory. Among
the horses th y killed was a favorite
team of Mr. Press Addington, on whoso
ranch Otter Belt resided. Press won’t
like it when lie bears that the trotters
are dead, but when Indians need horses
fora funeral they never stop to inquire
who they belong to. — For! Worts {Texas)

Tlte Easy-Going Parisians.
Of all places in the world Paris is the
place in which it is easiest to gather a
crowd, writes a correspondent of the
New York Time . Americans arc wont
to rail at the slow-footed messenger boy
and the absent-minded car conductor,
but nowhere in the wide universe are
the people so unanimously in favor of
lounging and loite;ing as in the french
capital. The shopkeeper stands on his
threshold and chats; the policeman gos
sips with the newswoman the hack
driver lolls hack in his vehicle until sum
moned to work, and everybody makes a
rush for the point at which the presence
of a dozen persons indicates that some
thing or other is to ho seen. A crowd
of 1,000 men, women and children ran
be gotten together in five minutes in any
part of the town.
Dr. E. (J. Janeway, of New York city,
acting on the suggestion of a country
practitioner, has given frozen milk to

ice cream, and speaks highly of its use
in fevers.

SWINDLING WEALTHY MEN.
Tiro Sharp English Womsn Locked Up In
Paris Jail.
A Paris dispatch says: Two English
adventuresses have been arrested here
charged with an original form ©f swind
ling. The prisoners give the names of
Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Eveline Rappy.
The latter is a beautiful woman, and
about 25 years of age. Mrs. Lindsay is
older, not so comely, and easily passed
as Miss ltappy’s mother or guardian, as
occasion required.
The women caused to be published in
responsible papers genteelly written and
cleverlyconstructed advertisements, mak
ing it known that a young widow with
£1,000,('00 sterling in her own right, or
a rich young girl who had made a false
step, was desirous of forming a marital
alliance with a gentleman of the right
stamp, who could appreciate the situa
tion and who had means sufficient to
warrant that on his side the m rriage
was not entirely a speculation.
Several Frenchmen were in turn intro
duced to Eveline Rnppv as a result of
these advertisements, and she was put
forth as the young widow or the rich
young girl, according to the inclination
of the suitor.
She engaged herself to a number of
these men, managing to keep alive their
ardor until she had exhausted their
ability to make presents, and successive
ly married several of the more wealthy
ones, securing the best settlement possi
ble, and managing to escape with all the
wedding presents and other personal
property obtainable within a few hours
after the ceremony.
It is learned that Miss Rappy played
this marriage trick with great financial
success on more than one rich adventur
er in England before she sought new
victims in France, and it is said that all
of her numerous dupes in both countries
have been of such high social or politi
cal position that they have been ashamed
to geek redress of any kind. The police
do not mention the name of the person
who has brought the career of the two
women to an end in Paris, but when
Miss Rappy was taken into custody she
was at a first-class hotel, living in a
grand suite of rooms in a style befitting
a princess, and was on the point of be
ing married to a man who had already
paid right royally for the betrothal and
had invested a snug fortune in wedding
presents.
When Miss Rappy realized that she
was a prisoner she broke down and made
a complete confession, giving the de
tails of all her exploits, telling the dates,
sums, and names. She throws all the
blame for her conduct upon Mrs. Lind
say, who, she says, controlled her.
Spotters on the Cars,
I was talking with the president of
one of the surface roads the other day,
says a New York correspondent, and
the conversation turned on the subject
of “spotters.” People who ride in
horse cars do not as a rule know that
during each trip of a car a “spotter” is
one ot the passengers. It may be a man
or a woman who tills the position, and
either he or she pays his or her fare just
the same as the other passengers do, and
ride the number of blocks assigned to
them by the superintendent of the road.
They are politely called “special detec
tives,” and their duties are not altogether
profitable, for they receive fifteen cents
for a round trip on the short line cars
and twenty-five cent, for the round trip
from Harlem to City Hall.
“You would be surprised,” said my
friend, the horse car president, “to see
how many applicants we have for the
position of ‘spotter.’ Why, we employ
on our road at present a poor clergyman,
a fashion writer and several other men
and women who, you would think,
could earn good wages elsewhere, but
they come to us and we employ only the
best. Of course, we cannot employ a
‘spotter’ for any length of time, for so
soon as one of them becomes known to
the drivers or conductors then his use
fulness ceases. Haven’t we faith enough
in our men to trust them? Certainly.
But we have to take precautions, and
we go so far as to put ‘spotters’ to watch
‘spotters.’ ”
From all of which I gathered that
there are other wheels in a railroad com
pany besides those that bear the cars.
The Best Japanese Wrestlers.
“Wrestling in Japan is always done
in tournaments that last from 0 o’clock
in the morning until about 4 o’clock jo
the evening. As fast as one man is
downed another tnrns up, and the win
ner of the most bouts is the winner of
the first prize.”
“ How does Matsada Sorakichi stand
with the crack wrestlers of Japan?”
“Not very high. He is so much
smaller and physically weaker than the
good ones that he stands no show at all
against them The best wrestlers are
Adata and Umegatani of Tokio. They’re
about as big as Kvan Lewis, but a great
deal stronger Tolc o, Osaka and Kioto
are the greatest sporting centres in Jap
an There is good reason for Sorakichi’s
inferiority to the other wrestlers of his
race. For nearly three centuries wrestle
ing has been the prevailing sport of
that country. Professional wrestlers bred
their sons to be wrestlers, and in the
course of half a dozen generations there
was developed a class of brawny athletes,
big of bone and large of stature, giants
in every respect physically. Against
such fellows Boraltichi stands a small
show. One feature of the Japanese
wrestler that strikes an American at
first glance is the Aldermanic [launch
the athletes boast. In this country
where athletes train off every ounce of
superfluous flesh, a man who wquld step
into a ring with such a waist girth as
Japanese wrestlers carry around would
be laughed oil the stage. The average
Jap will weigh form 120 to 130 pounds.
None of the ,iest wrestlers scale under
200 pounds, and all stand head and
shoulders above non-atliletic citizens.”

prove e :eettial for a time, ruin the stomach
and impair the general health.

Increase of Tlpnrt Disease.
No other disease is attracting so much at

as Heart Disease. This is caused by the fact
that physicians, as a rule, do not treat the
disease successfully. “Dead without a mo

ings are given by thousands. Every unnatu

Ton Moltke in Battle.
Tha London Daily Neu saya: Since
Moltke’s important speech at the Reich
stag the papers are full of anecdotes re
lating to the General, and the following
is one of them, related by Bismarck:
“When on the eve of war even Moltke
became talkative, and when we marched
in 1870 he at once grew ten years
younger, spoke with vivacity, took
pleasure in champagne and choice
cigsrs, and lost all his pedantry ac
quired while rest ng on the laurels he
had gained in 1866. During the battle
of Konigsgratz, when victory was doubt
ful for hours, Bismarck approached
Moltke, tormented by doubts and fears
as to the result of the terrible struggle.
Moltke sat silent on his black steed.
He was observing the course of the bat
tle, and it was impossible to attract his
attention. But Bismarck had a little
case in his pocket containing two cigars,
one of excellent, the other of inferior
quality. He offered the case to -Moltke,
and without speaking the General took
it, examined the two cigars, and chose
the good one without thanks. But Bis

to bis horse and cheerfully returned to
his post, for, thought he, if Moltke is
still able to make choice of a cigar with
such calmness of mind it means that all
is going on well.”
