’om Moore, we believe, of
lie decollete dress which he
leclared artfully revealed what
[ so artfully concealed.
The following comment of
lie Jacksonville Times-Union
ipon Secretary Carlisle’s report
jay be apposite here :
“We do not see that the re¬
tirement of the United Stater
notes and treasury notes would
do anything towards keening
the gold in the treasury. If
these notes were not paid out of
the Treasury in settlement of
claims against the Government,
gold would have to be paid out.
“It may be said of Secretary
Carlisle’s arguments, as well as
those of President Cleveland,
I that under our present system
of redeeming all forms of cur¬
rency with gold, they apply as
well to a retirement Of silver as
of greenbacks, The logical
conclusion from this argument
| is, retire every form of curren¬
cy except gold, and reduce tlie
circulation to a half billion in¬
stead of a billion and a half,
and the per capita to seven and
a half dollars instead of twenty
two and a half, or issue bonds
to borrow gold to keep a cur¬
rency in this country. This is
really the proposition to retire
the greenbacks carried to its
logical conclusion. It is not
strange that Senator Vorhees
expressed the belief that a res¬
olution declaring it to be inex¬
pedient and unwise to retire the
greenbacks would scarcely re¬
ceive fifteen negative votes in
the Senate.
Anybody who thinks Presi¬
dent Cleveland is not a politi¬
cian, has not done justice to
this great man—for lie is un
•questionably one of the biggest
men of the day, if not the very
biggest in our country. Few
men of Mr. Cleveland’s wall
power have combined with it his
ability as a politician in the
better sense of the word. In

a|j;l their do party, nothing and then to embarrass adjourn
»
for the holidays with ^ the eclat
of having discomfited the
Qckits by an assault upon their
English embassador and covert
sneers at their duck hunting
President.
But President Cleveland saw
their game, reinstated himself
at a bound, and before the Re¬
publicans have recovered their
wits he lays before them to be
acted upon at once, before ad¬
journment, the financial prob
lem of this country. Given
plenty of time, it is a question
that neither party is eager to
tackle, but to have to dispose of
it one way or the other in twen¬
ty-four hours, is enough to par¬
alyze Tom Reed’s presidential
boom.
If the Republicans go ahead
and authorize a big issue of
bonds all of their criticism of
President Cleveland’s former
bond issue is at an end, and in
addition they will have done a
very unpopular thing with the
masses, On the contrary if they
do nothing and leave the finan¬
ces of the country in a critical
condition while they go home to
frolic, they invite the condem¬
nation of the people for their
inaction and failure to appreci¬
ate the country’s needs. Eith¬
er horn of the dilemma is a very
uncomfortable perch to spend
one’s Christmas holidays upon,
and instead of going home in
spectacular triumph, the G. 0.
P. has had the tables complete¬
ly turned upon it, and President
Cleveland sit down to his tur¬
key absolutely master of the
situation, while his political an¬
tagonists have the bag to hold.

The flonroe Doctrine.
From Mr. Monroe’s message
to Congress in December, 1823:
“We owe, therefore, it to can¬
dor and to the amicable rela¬
tions existing between the Uni¬
ted States and the allied pow
ers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to
any portion of this hemisphere
as dangerous to our peace and
safety. With the existing col¬
onies or dependencies' of any
European power we have not
interferred and shall not inter¬
fere, but with the governments
who have declared their inde¬
pendence and maintained it,
and whose independence we
have, on great consideration
and just principles, acknowl
ed, w r e could not view an inter¬
position for the purpose of op
pressing them or controlling in
any other manner their destiny
(by any European power) in any
other light than as a manifes¬
tation of an unfripndly dispo¬
sition toward the United States.

nation are very nearly unani

Etc.—Ollier Matters of Interest,
Question l.-I enclose a plant which
is getting common in the pastures and
fields of this section : Please name and
teli how t0 * et rid o£ ' ifc - B. M.
Answer 1. —The enclosed specimen
w jj d Carrol (Dancus Carola). It
is found in nearly all the states, oast of
t£le Mississippi river, and is rapidly
spreading over the entire country;
seeming to thrive on all soils and in all
climates. .
It flowers from June to September.
The seed are distributed by becoming
attached to animaus, and thus beiDg
carried about; or remaining on the
plant until winter, are blown consid
erable distances by the wind. The
J n permanent pasture, mowing the
plants as often as the flowers appear,
eventually destroy them. Or the
root may be cut off several inches be
low the surface of the ground which
will usually kill them at once: Or the
plants may be pulled by hand when the
ground is wet: this is P™ 15 ^ the
gurest way of gettingrid o{ tllig weed<
The wild carrot is not often trouble
some in cultivated fields.
Question 2.—I send you some bugs
which have been eating my cabbages
and turnips. Please name them aud tell
me how to get rid of them.
L. Id., Taylor county, Ga.
Answer 2.—The bugs are Harle¬
quin Cabbage Bugs (Murgantia His
trionica), so called from the gay,
harlequin-like manner in which the
black and yellow colors are ar¬
ranged upon their bodies. It feeds
upon cabbage, turnips, radish and mus¬
tard plants, and its ravages as a rule are
confined to the states south of Pennsyl¬
vania. The first eggs are hatched out in
Aprii or May aud this brood at once bo
gins its work of destruction by sucking
the sap from the leaves. They are
timid and quickly hido behind the most
convenient stem or leaf of the plant
they are feeding on. In this section
there are several broods each season.
The most efficient remedy is to de¬
stroy the brood that lives over winter
When they congregate upon the mustard
or radish plants. Then they can be de¬
stroyed very easily by the application of
kerosene by means of a common water¬
ing pot.
If these bugs are thus destroyed early
in the season it will almost entirely pre¬
vent injury later. These insects fly but
little and are thus not apt to come from
neighboring fields.
All bugs and eggs which may be seen
on cabbage plants should be picked off
aud destroyed. Clean cultivation and
burning of all rubbish in and about the
garden are important preventive meas¬
ures.
In the spring and fall many of these
bugs may be trapped by laying cabbage
or turnip leaves between the rows; the
insects will harbor under these aud may
be collected anil destroyed each morn¬
ing.
Quesion 3.--Give me some advice about
harnessing and gearing a mule in the
plow ? D.
Answer 3.—The following article
contains much good advice on tho
subject of harness. “It may appear
trifling to make allusion to the har¬
ness of a plantation mule as it is
ordinarily so scant, but, be that as it
may, there is quite sufficient, when
not properly adjusted, to be responsi¬
ble for a large mortality among planta¬
tion mules.
In coasidering this topic we will have
to include almost the whole gears, es¬
pecially that used in the plow, and we
will commence with the bits, or rather
the fitting of the bits which is important.
The points to observe are, that they fit
the mouth and are neither too wide nor
too narrow. Tho mouthpiece requires
fitting with care; it should be about the
breadth of two fingers above the corner
teeth. They are often placed so high
in the mouth as to cut the angles of the
lips; the angles should not even be
wrinkled.
Collars.—Fitting a collar for draught
purposes is a point of hygienic import¬
ance. The main things to attend to
hre, that it has an even bearing on the
shoulders; that it is deep enough be¬
low, so as to avoid any pressure on the
windpipe and the blood vessels of the
neck; that it does not pinch from sidg
to side, and that the traces should not
be attached to it too near the point of
the shoulder. The evils of a badly fit
tingcoilar are great, such as collar
galls or sore shoulders; congestion of the
brain from pressure on the jugulars
preventing the return of mood from
that organ; and partial suffocation from
pressuro oil the wiiidtSips.
Collars of ail varieties have each
their votaries, tut we consider none
SUlkin!'”hJC .7.™
from skin secretions, which if allowed
to remain on the collar, becomes hard
and routfli, and thou produces irrita
tion. To keep tho shoulders in good
condition and prevent galling—prosam
ftgthat the collar fits—it is a good rale
t,o have the drivers bathe the shoulders
with a little cold water each rims the
collars aro take!5 ol This coald easily J
. do,la at tho , drinking trough when ,

the mules are being watered.
Backhands and traces. No part of
the plow gear produces so much perma
nent injury or loss as tho backhand,
The importance of the proper adjnst
moot of the backhand may b3 some
what appreciated, when we state that
on one plantation, within our knowl
edge, eleven or twelve lino mules were
lost from paralysis of the hind extrem
ities, duo to severe and continued pres¬
sure on the spine over tho loins.
It is not an unusual sight to see
mules hitched to the plow with the
hack bauds over the loins, bohind the
last rib, where there is the least sup¬
port to tho back, not only pulling, but
lifting the plow with this, the weakest
part. As a matter of fact, tho only
proper fuuo ion of a backhand is to
prevent the traces falling amongst the
animal’s feet when tho tension is taken
bff thorn.
Placing the backhand beyond tho last
rib is a r.ios • dangerous procedure, and
is the cawie of the death of many a val¬
uable mule.
The trace should have a straight pull
from its attachment to the hames to
the single trace; thero should be no an¬
gles in it at all. If there are, it is
an indication of undue proasure on the
back. If thero is a necessity for any
portion of the back having to bear
weight, the band with blocks on either
side of the spine, or that which carves
over the spine, is preferable to the plain
backhand, as the one has no direct bear¬
ing on the spinal column; the other has.
More attention paid to the proper gear¬
ing of our animals would often prevent
serious loss.
Question 4.— I have lost several head
of youijg cattle lately. They swell on
the neck or loins, look dull and droop •
ing, refuse to eat, are constipated, uriuo
high colored and have died in fromlil
to 24 hours. What is the disease and
what can I do for it? K.
Answer. —From your description
your cattle have diod of anthrax,
a disease known in different lo¬
calities as “bloody murrain.” “black
leg,” “black tongue,” “ebarbon,” eta
It is a common disease, attacking not
only cattle, but other animals as well.
I remember in 1253, when the “black
tongue,” as it was called, swept over
Florida and South Georgia, killing a
number of cattle aud almost extermi¬
nating the deer, which at that time were
very numerous. A gentleman from
Florida told me that during a day spent
in the woods looking after his cattle, he
counted over SCi dead deer, aud saw oth¬
ers walking about aimlessly, rendered
tame by the disease with which they
were suffering.
The causes of this disease are usually
traceable to stagnant ditches, swamps,
etc. the water in which has been low¬
ered by a long period of drouth, also to
food or water that has been tainted
with decaying animal or vogetable mat¬
ter and contagion. Tho disease is most
common in flat districts, where during
dry seasons ponds aud pools of stag¬
nant water are found aud the decompos¬
ing vegetable matters are exposed. This
is essentially a disease of the blood and
is practically confined to young cattle,
rarely attacking an animal over two
years of age.
Ia this disease, prevention is better
than cure, as there is little hope of sav¬
ing aii animal after the disease is con¬
tracted, a few hoars usually bringing
a fatal termination Three drachm
dose3 of chlorate of potassium, dissolv¬
ed in water and given every three hours,
is good treatment, and if the animal is
weak give in addition whiskey and qui¬
nine.
Change the pasture at once, when this
disease appears, to one on higher ground
if possible, and with purer water. Sep¬
arate the sick animals from the rest.
Bury deeply all cattle that die, or bet¬
ter still, burn the carcasses.
The sheds or stables where animals
have been confined should be thorough
ly cleaned and sprinkled with quick
lime, aud the woodwork, walls, etc.,
washed with a solution of chloride of
lime, four ounces to a gallon of water.
This disease can be contracted by man,
therefore great care should be taken in
handling a sick animal or a dead car
