CHOLERA AND EPIDEMICS
AMONG HOGS.

During the summer of 1851 nearly all
the swine in many portions of the West
and South were attacked by violent and
mortal disease that spared neither age nor
sex, fat nor lean.
The first symptoms were inappeteney,
thirst, dullness, groaning, and seeking of
moist places; then followed hardness of
the belly, heat of the skin, constipation,
diminution of the urine, difficulty of
respiration, heaving of the tanks, and
short cough; the eyes were full of tears,
and the mucous membranes infamed.
All these symptoms came on In the course
of twelve hours. If the disease continued,
the succeeding symptoms were still more
alarming; the animals began to staggtr
about, the limbs were stretched out in an
unnatural position, rafting in the throat
came on, they supported themselves
against the wall, and only fell to die q
few minutes afterwards. Death usually
came about the third day, and was in
some cases preceded by commissions of
the face and extremities. .....
Observation-Disclosures bleedings from
the Sdcro cOccyged1s arteries and veins,
or, if these did not yield blood enough,
amputation of the tail, hot baths, seton
covered with blisteriDg ointment inserted
in the chest, Camphorated and laxative
drenches, and decoction of berage, NAL
lows, and lettuces, slightly calculated, to
drink. --..- -
Causes.-Exposure TO the heat of the
sun, want of water, feeding on dry plants;
returning home in the evening exhausted,
receiving hearty feed, and being then
shut up in ill-ventilated styes without
drink until morning.
Preventive treatment. - TrOughs o1

FARM AND Il GARDEN
GLOVER LAND ron wHEAT.

d. sCLOt Eh LAND FOR WHEAT.
2 In the journal of the Royal Agricultural
Society of England for 1869 are reports
of experiments to test the peculiar in1u-
ence of the red clover crop on the subse-
quent growth of wheat upon which Pro
fessor Foelcker remarks that the heaviest
crop of clover removed from the sou, ap-
pears to render, it more capable ofyield4
ing a good crop of whest--that the add!
ton of even powerful saline manures
lsuper phosphate Of lime, mixed ,alkaIies,
ETC. seems hardly to improve the subse
quent wheat crop. taufIt is a. fact,n adds
the Professor, ''that after heavy crop
of clover carried off as hay, the land, far
from being less fertile than before, is
peculiarly well adapted, even without the
addition of manure, to bear a good crop
of wheat the following year, provided.
the season be favorable to its growth. !
|. = - - Clover mown twice leaves the
land in q better condition, as regarding its
wheat providing capabilities, than when
mown once for hay, and the second crop
fed off the land by sheep 1t, is sup
posed from the results of experiments
given, that the land wherein. clover has
been grown for seed 1.-The preceding year,
yield still better crop than when the
crop is mown twice for hay, or mown
once and afterwards fnd off BY sheep.
The rest't ig foeE,p ,fessor's inyesti- |
cations are thus / "a d ur: First-Dur-
ing the growth of cloves s-rge amount
of heterogeneous matter accumuiates IN the |
soil. Second-This accumulation, which
is the greatest in the surface soil, is due
to decaying leaves dropped during the |
growth of clover, and to an abundance l
of roots, containing when dry, from one |
and three quarters to two per cent. nitro |
gen. Third-The clover roots are strong |
er and more numerous, and more leaves
fall to the ground wherein clover has
been grown for seed the preceding year,
than when the clover is moWn twice for
hay, or when mown and afterward fed
off by sheep. Insthe latter case the de-
velopment of clover roots is checked,
and the consequent loss of fertilization is
not sufficiently connterbalanced by the
eKcrements of the sheep on the land.
Another deduction is thus given: 'fClover
not only provides abundance of nitrogen.
GUS food, but delivers this food in read
lily available form {as nitrates) more gra-

GEN. BATE DECLINES.

Last week we placed at the head of our
paper the name of Gen. VIM. b. Bate, as
our first choice for tbs Governorship of
Tennessee. Since that time letter has
been published from Gen. Bate in which
he declines to be a contestant for the
nomination for that position. AS much
as we regret his action in this matter, we
cannot but admire the noble spirit of
patriotism which prompts him. But few
men, in these days of thirst and greed for
Office, possess the spirit of self-denial fol-
their country's good to such degree a;
that exhibited by Gen. Bate. We art
proud to know and to feel that he upo1
whom our first choice fell, in Withdrawing
from the race, wins higher honors and
brighter lsurels than can be gained by
any successful aspirant.

1t will be seen that wheat straw con-
tains about 80 per cent. of assimiable
food, or food capable of nourishing ami
mails. 1t contains as much albumen and
proteine compounds as ordinary run hay.
Woody fibre is, however, largely in ex-
cess, and there is far less quantity of
sugar, mucilage, etc, than in the hay of
our meadows. The kind of straw which
approaches nearest to good upland hay is
oat straw, cut before it is fully ripe.
The order in which the different kinds
of straw stand relatively, as regards nu-
tritriVe value, may be presented thus ::
Dat straw, barley straw, wheat straw, rye
straw. PROFESSIONALLY it will be for the
! interest of farmers in most sections to
diminish the amount of straw used for
litter, and increase Its use for fodder. In
many of the Northern States rye straw is
of equal value with the best quality of
timothy, as it is used largely for bedding
horses in towns and cities. OF course,
where straw commands such high prices,
and is of such ready sale, it would be abb
surd to feed it to animals. We must not
be understood in these remarks as holding
to the view that any kind of straw can
supersede the use of good hay and grain,
but rather that it contains a sufficient
amount of the elements of nutrition TO
make it valuable substitute for these
usually more costly products.
