The tap.root of the cotton plant
extends far below the pillow furrow
of ordinary cultivation. 1t forces
itself into even the hardest subsol
but to do so moro easily, as well as
more proftably to the farmer, the
subsoil should be loosencd TO as
great depth as possible. 1t is
quite clear that these tap.reots find
something in the subsoil that they
want, or they would not penetrate
so deep to seek it. 1t is not fol
moisture alone that this penetration
takes place. Although this enables
the plant TO stand u proLracted
drouth, they want and they got
something there besides moisture
which is important to the growth OF
the plant, and consequently to the
profit OF tho farmer. We throw out
this hint for the farmers to think Of
in their preparation for the next

Quincy, ILL.,, October 6.-The Wig
to-day has special from Canton, Mo,
which ststes that y hog disease has
broken out In that vicinity to \ very
serious extent. Pork packers and

tions half the hogs must have already
died. Joseph Bland. reading three
mica ont OF Canton, has lost seventy /;

out of herd OF fifty, has only eight

crop. Its Attacks. thus Tar have been
among the younger hogs, and not so
much among those now being fatted
though much loss has occurred. The
work Of destruction is quick. One
man mentions as an example that hs
had fed fine tat hog in tho morning
when it appeared well, and At Ii
O'Clock il was dead. Dealers repor
that the opinion appears to be genera
Among the farmers that the disease i.

continue to apread. The attack is not
like that of the hog cholera. Its first
symptom appears to be hacking
cough, which soon becomes coniinu-
ous and distressing, aud tho hog a,
last dies from something like strangu-
lation. Farmers profess TO have made
rude poet-mortcm examinations, and
some locate the difficulty entirely in
the lungs, while others think they find
| it In the glands of the throat. In one
| instance hog was found to have its
intestines full of worms, while the
flesh was found full of trichina.

THE SPEAKERSliup.

We observe in the press Of This
State considerable discussion as To
the speakership OF the next House.
A Dos Moines special To the Chicago
TTibune, says that Hon. j, II. Graves.
of Dubuque. Hon. John y. Stone OF
Mills county. and Hon. j. III. Gear. of
Burlington. arc the most prominently
mentioned. We have also seen the
name of Judge Sewers. of Oskaloosa.
in this connection. and Hon. Rush
Clark. of Iowa City. Gear and Clark
have served as speakers, and hence
have experience. All Of these are
competent to preside in the House,
and any of them would honor the
State and the high Office. From
among gentlemen so well qualified in
every respect, we see at once that il
will be difficult for many members to
make choice. One thing is clear
whichever one of them is elected can
but be satisfactory to the body over
which he win preside, and this is an
assurance that must be gratifying to
the people of the entire State.-Du'
baque Times.

SHOCKING; MURDER,
a Man In Cedar County Murdered for
800.
Davenport Democrat, Oct. 20

500.
Davenport Democrat, Oct, %
A number of well-known farmers
of Cedar county named Downing
brought 10 this city this afternoon
tidings of terrible murder that oc-
Cured in that county Thursday night,
about four miles this side of Upton.
II appears that there lived there q
farmer, a quiet, peaceable, industrious
man named - Little. He had q
small family consisting of wife, aud,
we believe one child, and lived quietly
and happily. On Wednesday he sold
his farm, realizing from tho sale $70O
in cash. This amount Of money he
took home, and secreted at the house.
On Thursday night he and his wife
had returned ami were asleep when
the house was entered by, 1t 10 Thought,
two men, who proceeded to rob the
house. 1t Is thought that there was
little or no resistance on the part Of
Mr.. Little, M his body was found up
on the floor of the house with his
throat cut in two places aud fearful
gashes In the side OF the head and face.
Mrs. Little's lite was threatened by the
murtlerers, but she was not harmed.
The terrible deed was committed Al
abont midnight, just before the rising
of the moon. The robbers found all
the money, and made good their es.
cape, and up to this forenoon no traces
of them had been received. Tho gen.
tleman who brought the news to this
city, came for the purpose Of notifying
the Sheriff aud our police.
It is thought the murderers learned
of tho sale Of the farm In Upton,
whore the transfer was made, and
that they there learned that Little took
it home.

The Pork Packers are to have a
Convention at Keokuk on the 4th of
November. In this connection the
following, written bya leading pack
er of Louisville to prominent pack
er of Dubuque, will be of interest:
''The cure of hams has not been
profitable for the last two years, and
unless some change takes place in the
relative value OF cuts, we do not sec
how curers can continue the business
unless the consumption increases or
new outlets are found for export.
With the spirit of the times tending
towards economy in living, there
must result q diminished consumption
Of all those things looked upon as lux
uries, and to q great extent sugar
cured ham, with good margin OF
profit, is a luxury to a large portion
of the population that has heretofore
consumed them. Their value is not
relatively like that of other parts of
the hog, but depends much upon the
prosperity of a certain element of the
population, which for two years past
mas not been IN prosperous condition.
We have, therefore, taken the ground
that hams must be bought at relative
iy lower prices than heretofore, else
we had better let them alone. As far
as onr information goes, this seems to
be the feeling of many curers, and we
think this feeling will result in con-
cession of the views of the packers
after the season has opened. Any
how, we haye made up our minds to
wait and see, and take as few rs poss-
ihle till the prospect looks more IA
vorable for good margin on sales
next season.
IT appears to us that the prices OF
hogs are going to open too high for a
successful ana profitable season. We
tried 1t to our sorrow last year, and
feel perfectly satisfied with our expe-
rience. We don't care to repeat IT,
