The " hent Crop.

Now that the wheat has been harvested and its
sel aration from the straw has been begun, we
are greeted with more favorable accounts of the
crop at the hands of the farmers. From every
section Of the Peninsula the grain is reported to
be unusually large and plump, and of a better
quality than has been produced for years The
crop OF straw is light but this is of little moment
There il sufficient abundance Of it for farm
purposes, and more in all probability, than will
b consumed. The crop OF wheat as a whole,
will be- an average one, and the unusual fulness
Of the grain will have tendency to make it more
remnneralive than formerly.

DO FLIES CARRY DIsEAsg9
A writer in the Washington Star asks
Has it never occurred to your mind that flies
have something to do with the spread Of small
poX! This season they are everywhere, in ut
tery unlimited numbers, and, aided by the wind,
probably there are no greater visitors in the
world. Clean and dirty hoIses are alike filed
with them. The most ingenious devices of
housekeepers fail to sxpe or exterminate them.
1t is hardly possible to exclude them from the
hospital or the sick chamber, and the small pox
patient is the recipient Of their provoking atten-
tion.
Escaping from the chamber Of the sick, they
are blown about. with the virus of this loath-
some disease upon their wings and legs, and
then perchance light on some person cOnstitu-
tionally susceptible to take the disease, and who
may accidentally have the incision by which it
may be conveyed. If You have a scratch or cut
upon the hand or the face, the flies are sure to
seek it out and light upon it. In this wise,
against all precautions of the widely abused
board of health and of the public, may not the
small pOx be spread by fliesl
