matter, have come TO the conclusion that there
is no better locality in the world for grape grow

there is some prospect of a considerable German

at least There is disease which has prevail
led among horned cattle in Southwest Missouri,
to greater or less extent, for few years past,
and has been this year more widely extended
and more fatal than usual. 1t is called, various
y, tie bloody murran, to the Spanish fever.
1t is commonly attributed to the drOves ofcat-
tie passing along from Texas, and is supposed
to be communicated by their SALIVA LETT upon
the grass. 1t appears from accounts in the
newspapers, that it has been severely felt this
year over a large number OF counties, IN the
eXtcnSive region embraced between two lines
radiating from point about the southwest cor
ner Of the State, and drawn, one toward St.
Louis, and the other nOrhward over IN Nam
sas; the northern limit being on the north OF
| the Missouri River, at one place ut least, and
how ln'cn farther am unable t0Say. All this
region is actually trarcrScd BY the Texas d1oyes,
aud includes districts wide apart and differing
much in soil, water and atmospheric inilence.
Now and then, you may find an intelligent man
/ IdiScrediting the common theory, but others
affirm it with great confidence and scne pro-
