MornER.-Around the idea of
ones mother the mind of man
clings with fond affection. 1t is
the first dear thought stamped up
on our infant hearts. when yet soft
and capable Of receiving the most
profound impressions /; and all the
after feelings are more or less in
comparison. Our passions and our
wilfulness may lead us far from
tho object of our filial love; we
may become wild, headstrong and
angry at her counsels or opposi
tion; but when death has stilled
her monitOry voice, and nothing
but calm memory remains to re-.
capitn!ate her virtue and her deeds.
affection, like a flower beaten to
the ground by a rude storm, raises
mp her head and smiles amid her
tears. Round that idea, as we
have said, the mind clings with
fond affection and even when the
earliest period of our loss, forces
memory to be silent, fancy takes
the place Of remembrance, and
twines the image of our departed
parent with q garland of graces
and beauties and virtues, which we
doubt not that she possessed.

Culture of tobacco, was, in a few
years, discontinued, except for
bome consumption. Indian corn
was the great crop of the District.
Very little cotton was planted till
within a few years past. In 1910
there were only two hundred and
seventy five bags OF cotton made
in the whole District. During the
past year there have been sold IN
tho city of Greenville, nine thous.
sand bags of cotton. The Western
stock passing sixty miles through
Greenville, gave a market for all
the corn and fodder made for sale.
After the railroads were construc.
ted through Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, this stock driving
ceased, and the farmers began to
cultivate more extensively cotton
and wheat. Since the abolition Of
slavery, labor has been more diff.
cult to procure, and hence the
farmers have sown every year a

We have persons in our midst owning from Is to
$50 cows who have no milk to use, and who buy
all their butter. No attention at all 10 paid to
this business "Milking is slavish work, they
say, "and 80 is making butter;" besides, "they
want the calves to grow rapidly, which they can't
do if weaned," and sits 80 mnch trouble to feed
calves" and so they run with the cows, and we
have but little of either milk or butter.
Come ont here some of you Eastern folks, and
take hold Of this business; if some Of yon felt in
clined to take the trouble, you might have the
milk from an hundred cows, for half the butter
made; good thing for persons Of no capital.
And you who can afford to buy the necessary
stock, come also; there's hut little expense at

70 do with his remarkable success in literature
Undoubtedly, he has genius, but he seems to lack.
not the artistic faculty, the habit of systematic
enort and conscientious study. Yet he looks quite

DR.. Bailey, in the Leavenworth Medical Journal,
suggests this method of healing this annoying
def0rmity:
have found that the secoad toe always presses
firmly against, and rather beneath the side of the
great toe, which very naturally produces the
whole trouble. 1t has occurred to me, therefore,
that if this constant could be dispensed with,
and at the same time pressure applied in such a
manner rs to press the flesh array from the nail,
permanent cure could be effected without the use
Of the knife, which is justly dreaded by the pa
tient. To accomplish this, got mp bandage,
by taking piece of strong muslin about one iuch
wide, and just long enough to make t,ro loops, (by
sewing,) one large enough to slip over the third
toe, and bring them close together, letting the
second toe rest over or above the bandage, where
it furnishes precisely the required pressure to
crowd the soft parts away from the nail, and at
the same time remove the pressure that caused
the disease. In the few cases that have used
this simple application it has been followed by
complete success. 1t is convenient, not trouble
some, tOapply, and can be worn without dispen-
sing with ordinary tight boots or shoes, which is
sometimes quite an important thing.

The prevailing disease called the hog cholera,
confined to the corn districts of the Western
States, am satisfied is produced by feelih corr,
without vegetable food. The natural tendency of
that kind Of feeding is to produce worms and 9TH
animaclue that infest the intestines of the hog
and from thence make their way through the flesh,
and infest the whole system. The popularity of
the disease is that if the hog becomes once infec-
ted, it will never entirely recover. Sows once
infected will never raise healthy litter of pigs,
even if kept for years. The pigs will usually
show symptoms of the disease before they are q
week old, and some, or all of them die within one
or two months. largo share Of the hogs Of the
Western country are more or less infected in this
way, and quite often where there appears to be
no visible signs of disease. This kind of meat ia
not tempting to the plate All white hogs seem

Is IT A MURRArN OR SPANISH FEVER "A good
many cattle have recently died in this section Of
bloaly murrain or Spanish fever. The general
opinion is that the disease is Texan or Spanish fe
yer. Some however, maintain that it is not the
fever, but the old-fashiOned bloody murrain. Mr..
Jas. Jewell, a farmer living five miles from town,
says that small vial Of "NO. 6, " if poured down
the animals mouth before it has been too long at
tackled with the disease, is q sure cure. Salt ba-
con is also considered good. The cattle in this
section that have mostly been attacked with the
disease usually sick about ten days. The first
symptoms are loss Of appetite and dropping of
the ears and head, CLASSY eyes and dribbling from
the mouth. We last week published a simple re-
nelly for the Spaniih fever, which it might he
well 10 apply by those who have animals attacked
