THE CROPS IN ARKANSAS.
Memphis Appeal, May q.

-HtLlF'LIs u FFSaIl MY II
Planters Just across the Mississippi
west of Memphis, say that this last
food deposited over the cotton fields
the richest, thickest layer of alluvium
ever before brought down from the
western mountains. 1t is quarter of
an inch in thickness, and full of lime.
Crops stimulated by such forces of fe-
cundity grow and mature with extra
ordinary rapidity, and only vigorous
energy In depressing weeds and grass
is required, through the first few weeks
of summer, to assure the production,
with favorable season, of an extraor-
binary cotton crop.

TYPHOID FEVER IN PIGS.


The London (EngJ Agricultural Ga
zette says:
Typhoid fever of pigs is almost the
only zymotic disease of the lower ami
mails which has distinct representa-
tive among the diseases of the human
subject. In many cases the term ty-
phoid is used to indicate any form of
disease In which fever of Tow kind is
present; but in typhoid fever of the
pigs the characteristic affection of the
glands of the intestines Is always well
developed, as it Is In man. From few
weeks to six months old all kinds of
pigs are liable to typhoid fever. After
the age of six months they appear to
possess a remarkable power of resisting
the disease; some older animals are of
course attacked, but the rule is that
the extreme susceptibility ceases after
the pig has reached the age of six or
eight months; were it not so, the losses
from the disease would be more serious
than they are.
Excepting age, there appear to be no
modifying circumstances which exer-
else any particular influence. Temper
ature has little or nothing to do with
the progress of the affection. In sum-
mer and winter the disease is equally
rife, and equally fatal; and observation
leads to the conclusion that the utmost
care In the treatment of the animals
does notpreservethem from theravages
of the malady, nor does the susceptible
lity seem to be increased in animals
which are systematically neglected.
The one essential is the typhoid germ,
when that is planted in the organism
the results follow In regular order, I'M
disturbed by the external conditions of
the animals existence.
How remarkable that men Of science
in Europe are able to trace so many
diseases in man, beast and plant, to
living germs" 1t is life against life.

THE doctrine which Grantism impress
ses upon the mind is that there is no
important difference between right and
wrong. morality and corruption, manly
industry and larceny, truth and false
hood, honesty and fraud, veracity and
perjury. Get money, is the maxim of
Grantism; and if you are caught stealing
it, Grant viii give you a certificate that
you are true Republican, and that he
is your friend.-Nev York Sun.

A PLANT DEsTRUCTIyE TO BEES,

The large-podded milk weed almost
invariably causes the death of every
bee alighting upon it. The bee either
adheres to the plant or else bears away
a small scale sticking to its feet, and
cripples itself fatally in attempting to
remove the annoyance.

We have found by experience that
the stuff often sold by millers as wheat
bran is not pure article, but has
ground cheat, cookie and diseased,
and shrunken wheat, ground up with
it. The bran from clean wheat is worth
rather more, pound for pound. than
corn meal to feed mules, cows, sheep
or other stock. 1t is SO valuable as a
source of phcsphates and assimilable
nitrogen, that wheat growers should
try to sell -four, and feed at home all
else of their annual wheat crops to re-
turn as manure to the soil. Selling
