Farmer contains very readable edi
torial upon the influence of vegeta-
ton, st last of certain kinds Of vege-
tation, in preventing such miasmatic
diseases as fever and ague, 80. It
calls attention to tho we'll known
fact that many of the most miasma-
tic portions Of the Southern States
the negroes guard their cabins with
Sunflowers, ''to keep off the fevers,
which their white owners consider
an idle superstition, and not a sani-
tary preoaution. Investigations seem
20 prove that the negI oes are right
Within the last few years miasmatic
fevers have became 80 prevalent in
certain portions of Belgium that the
Government was compelled to take
the matter in hand, and appoint
Medical Boards to try and devise
remedy There has been one com
plete success. A remarkably un-
healthy estate was selected, and q
large quantity of sunfower seed
planted around the cottages and
buildings. AS the plants grew fevers
disappeared, and ina short time there
was not vestige of that class of dis
eases left. Here was an effect, but
what was the cause Analysis and
other experiments followed and the
facts were disclosed, first. That the
sunAower draws almost all its sus.
tenance from the air making very
slight demand on the soil second,
that it's main food at least the man
component of its leaves and pth gifts
stalk was nitrogen. The mystery
was explained, and "the supersti-
ton Of the American niggers"
