fabrics did pass to the city and were
the means of establishing points of in
lection from which the disease spread
far IN the interior of the United States.
DIR. Mcclellan suggests the disinfec-
ton of all goods arriving from an in
fected district, and the establishment
of a National Sanitary Bureau for the
collection of trustworthy sanitary In
formation for the use of all local boards
Of health.
The second great preventive of
cholera is cleanliness, and, under this
head, DIR. Mcclellan urges attention to
the condition of each house and its
surrounding premises; to the condition
of the natural drainage of the town
and to personal cleanliness. Disinfee-
ton, after the disease has appeared, is
also very necessary, and care should be
taken that the disinfectants used are
efective-that they do not simply
change the Odor, but destroy the poison.
Distinction should extend not only to
clothing and furniture, but to the air
that Is breathed and the water that is
used. Flies are popularity supposed to
transmit the disease, and every effort
should be made to exclude them from
the house when cholera prevails, and
especially to prevent them from coming
N contact with food or dishes.
Finally, DR.. Mcclellan urges especial
attention to individual habits during a
cholera epidemic. In the first place, he
says, it is best for all persons IN whose
power 1t may be to do so, to leave at
once the infected district, and hequotes
Niemeyer's rules as follows:
a. To start soon enough.
o. To 60 as far as possible.
g. Not to return until the last trace
of the disease has disappeared.
Great Care should be taken In the
matters of dress and diet. In regard
to the latter, the doctor says that ex-
cesses of all kinds should be avoided;
good substantial food, well prepared,
should be taken. Coffee, tea, chocolate,
the various condi cents and spices, and
butter, milk and eggs, are not pro-
hibited. Wine, brandy, and malt
liquors, the author thinks, may Tot
only be allowed, but, when used in
moderation, are extremely useful in
averting those facilitating influences
which 50 often prevent the system from
repelling the disease; but their use
should be interdicted positively when
ever undue stimulation results. DR..
McClellan's entire report will be found
of great value, not only to medical men,
but also for popular distribution.

dition leads to the adoption of meas
ures which are calculated to increase
the mischief. The horses head is held
up, and water is poured into the mouth;
the daid is, of course, Immediately re-
turned through the nostrils, and the
excitement which the animal suffers is
increased. Other domestic remedies
are adopted, oil is substituted for water
with a similar result, and the animal
has hard struggle for life under the
hands Of his amateur doctor.
It seems at all times very unsatisfac.
tory to see an animal suffering and to
make no effort to relieve it, but accord
ing to our experience, that is the prop
er course to adopt when a horse is
choked by toe retention of his food in
the outlet. The important thing is to
avoid all disturbance, take off the hall
ter, place some ateItEithin reach, and
leave the horse alone. In a short time
the spasmodic action of the muscles of
the swallow subsidies, the food gradu-
ally passe into the stomach. and the
horse becomes calm. When he feels
inclined he will 6rink, and some raven
GUS animals will return to the manger
to finish the meal which was suddenly
interrupted. This attempt should be
prevented, because in the irritablestate
of the swallow a second accumulation
is quite likely to occur. The horse
should be kept without food for some
hours, and then only allowed to have
very soft Hnseed mash or some thick
Cruel. Choking from empaokment of
a ball or an egg, or any other single
solid body, requires instrumental treat
ment IN most cases, and sometimes an
operation is necessary.

THE TREATMENT OF A CHOEED
HORSE

HORSES as well as COWS and oxen
sometimes get choked, and when this
happens to the first named animal. the
London Agricultural Gazette suggests
the following treatment:
The first form Of choking Is the most
remarkable and the most likely to puz-
zle the attendant. A horse in return
ing from work has his meal Of oats
with chaif placed before him. and he at
once commences to dcv0ur It with
ayidity; no danger Of choking IS appa-
rent to the looker-on, and consequently
the animal is left to eat as be pleases.
Before the ration is quite consumed the
animal stops eating. stretches his neck,
makes spasmodic efforts to swallow,
mauifcs,s great distress, and IN
a short time an excessive flow Of
saliva from the mouth indicates
that TIE way into the stomach
Is quite closed; the animal, IN fact, has
swallowed Tor, rather, attempted toswal-
low the food So rapidly, that one poT-
ton has followed another too quickly,
and an accumulation has taken place
at the lower part of the gullet. The
irritation caused 10y the retention of
the IA ass induces spasmJdic contrac-
+ion If the muscular wallis of the tube,
and rhvs the accumulated material Is
firm re aimed.

naturally excited by the animals con-

FLOUR. GRAIN AND HAY.

A miller paid S1.20 to-day for choice lot
of wheat, and the market may be quoted
higher. Flour and wheat were both very
quiet and both offerings and receipts of the
latter were very moderate. .
The st. Louis market is attracting con-
siderable attention on account Of the differ
enee between July and August deliveries,
the latter being about 123c lower. This is
the result Of a corner in the former, and
argues no downward tendency. On the
contrary, a corner may Just as we'll be
gotten up in the latter part of August, and
the same difference exist between that and
the next month. Such demoraliziDg tricks
are as discreditsble to a market as injurious
to the country.
The wheat market is firm here and
promises to maintain the fair prices. We

WHEAT TURNING TO CHEAT.

Our neighbor Of the Rural sam is
sill discussing the cheat question, as
though It was a new and unsettled prob
lem in agriculture. It says:
We would further invite all grain
raisers to take steps to test the ques-
ton by practical experiments, planting
cheat, wheat, oats, and grasses, under
all the circumstances claimed IS favor
able for procuring the cheat or chess,
and then by this time next year the
question may be settled practically
forever. We hope those tests will be
instituted throughout the country, as
well as tests IN many other matters OF
importance TO producers.
For all farmers who read the history
Of their calling, and study it as pro-
fession, the fact that one genus of
plants ike wheat cannot change to
another genus ike bromus OF cheat,
WIS as well known a hundred years ago
as It can be "nextyear," or IN one hun
dred years 10 come. Think Of editors
inviting farmers 50 to test the question
10y practical experiments - Of turning
8us, the hog, into the genus oris, the
sheep. 1t is quite as possible to cross
breed the hog and the sheep as the two
genera triticum wheat and bromus
Cheat or chess. The Hon. Tom.
Crutchfeld states the question fairly
in tie Rural Sun IN these words:
But, after all, you can't make some
of our mothers believe that soap Will
make as well IN one moon " as IN
another All the science IN the world
viii not make an old farmer, who has
seen u it, and his boys, who have
com by 1t honestly" believe but that
chess comes from wheat.
Since the primitive man lived partly
on raw acOrns and walnuts, and partly
on the uncOoked seeds Of cheat and
wheat, there has been no cure for the
mistaken traditions relating to the
''moon, - the signs Of the zodiac, and
the transmutation of metals, plants and
animals. Who shall acquire such alb
solute control over human nature as to
prevent the pursuing of the even tenor

tons practically torsrer, by this time

PREPARING GROUND FOR TURNIPs

PREPARING GROUND FOR TURNIPS
A crop Of good turnips is quite con-
venient, and now is not bad time for
sowing seed in some places, and get
ting land in first rate order in other
ATTITUDES. The turnip is plant that
grows rapidlysin rich soil well culti-
waited, afteE few weeks start. Ma
nure, wood ashes and superphospha,es
generally pay handsomely On this crop.
1t Is bad economy to SOW turnip seed
on poor land without some fertilizer.
Manure In the drill is much better than
no manure. No turnip patch is better
than one fortified byyarding sheep On
the ground. Stock Of any kind may
be used in a way to enrich a few acres
by their dToppiDgs every year. Woods,
pastures and outlying fields can sup
ply On many farms great
deal Of fertilizing material to improve
all the land near the homestead. Cattle.
horses, sheep and hogs have legs and
feet to walk a mile in the morning to
their grasing ground, and back in the
evening. They are living machines for
the cheap manufacture Of manure, to
carry and depositit where it viii do the
most good. A great deal Of valuable
meat, milk, wool and horse-Aesh can be
manufactured from grass, turnips, beets,
carrots, corn cow-peas, clover and al
falfa. We believe in roots, but in other
crops as well The true policy is TO
make every rood Of land do its best for
the thoughtful farmer.
