SuNFLowERs AND THEIR UsEs.-lt is not
everybody who knows the various uses to
which that old lady like plant, the sun
flower, can be put. A few stalks of this
plant grown near the house promote good
health by absorbing any malarious gases
that may be in the air; the seed is very
good food for chickens in the winter and
spring, and also a most healthy feed for
horses; a half pint a day keeps them
healthy and spirited, and makes their coats
sleek and fine. 1t prevents " "heaves," and
is speedy cure for founder and some other
diseases. pint of whole seed mixed in
the animals regular food upon the first dis
covery of founder will, it is said, effect a
perfect cure. They are great favorites with
small birds, who eat the seeds in preference
to fruits and berries, and thus the latter
escape destruction.

OVERFLOWS OF THE VALLEYS.
Something Alb nut the Actual Damage Re
tween Memphis and VIcIEsburg.

Something Ab9ut the Actual Damage Be
tween Memphis and VIcIxsBurE.
The Memphis Appeal says: The low
country bordering the river from here to
Vicksburg has suffered from overflow to
a considerable extent in certain Iocali-
ties and neighborhoOds, but as a whole
the injury, except in Individual cases, is
hardly worthy of notice A few planters
have had fences swept away; some have
lost few head of cattle, and many are
living in the second stories of their
houses, but all of this viii not hurtmuch,
in view of the fact that the waters are
likely to subside in ample time for plant
ing good crop of both corn and cotton.
A large number oil planters are very busy
blowing and putting in their crops in
dry places, and the recent decline of the
White and Arkansas has already relieved
many places that were previously under
water. The recent creyasse near Delta,
above FTiar's Point, swept a flood par
tally over a dozen places or so, and some
of the levee breaks lower down, at Buck
Ridge, Ky. Landing, Niblett's and Boil
var, in the vicinity of the mouth of the
Arkansas, also injured perhaps two dozen
more. Down in Milliken's bend, and
through the Tensas country crevasses
caused more damage, but, except these
isolated cases. no serious harm has re-
suited. Below Vicksburg the injury
from overflow is insignificant and appear
ance5 indicate that the waters will be
within the banks of the river at all points
within brief period. The Vicksburg
Herald reviews the situation st length,
and, among other things, says:
The sensational reports contained in
our exchanges are still floating around
telling of the great damage done by the
high water, and the valuable lands inun-
dated. Some of them report the entire
Yazoo valley submerged, when in fact
there is not plantation on YazOO, Tai
lahatchie or Sunhower rivers or Deer
creek under water. Those streams each
have a good deal of bank left, and the
back water in the swamp is falling very
fast. The people do not even appear to
be at all uneasy on the score of high
water"

EDUCATION ron THE FARMER.

EDUCATION FOR THE FARMER.
In order to give the young hint of
what might be learned, teachers ought
TO devote few hours each week to teach
ing scientific education, especially such
as relates to agriculture. Short weekly
botanical and geological excursions ought
to be made to the country by the whole
school Interesting geological and eth
biological specimens are lying around on
every farm in this country. Every school
house should contain cabinet of scien-
eRti6e scUriOsities. These could be col
lected without any expense. The cabi-
nets would excite the curiosity of the
scholars to know mere about these sub
jects. Teachers that cannot teach any
more than what they find in school books
are not qualified to teach This qualifi-
cation ought to be required of every one.
The moraEeffect of teaching science in
our common schools would be to direct
the pliRds of the young from immoral
eulOgments. Constant employment and
a scientific education are among the best
mOralizers that exist. To the end that
we may know what they are doing in
this direction in other countries, / will
here state what the Germans have done
to popularize scientific agricultural edu-
cation. In the first place, Prussia has
four higher agricultural academies, with
eighty paid professors; fOrty-One lesser
colleges, ali connected with model farms;
five special schools for the cultivation of
meadows, and for the scientific study of
irrigation; one special school for the rec
lamatfon Of swamp lands; two special
schools for industrial agriculture; one
school for horse-shOeing; one school for
silk and bee raising and piscicUlture
twenty agricultural stations (labOra-
tories) for experiments and for garden
culture; threehigher colleges, and twelve
secondary. schools in which the culture
of the grapevine is made a speciality
All these schools are connected with
model farms for the practical education
Of students. One contains two Thousand
fofIr Hundred and fifty acres of farming
land, and fourteen thousand seven hun
bred acres of forests. Bavaria, with five
millions of people, has twenty six agri-
cultural colleges, and two hundred and
sisStYsnfife associations for the advance
meut' of scientific agricultural know
ledge To-day the German empire con-
tains one hundred and eighty four agri-
cultural colleges five for horticulture,
seventy-fve practical middle schools for
garden, culture, sixteen colleges ,forsspe-
ciaf bcancbes, and besides an immense
number Oh larger and smaller assoeia-
lions, evening schools for the further ed
ucation Of farmers youths, lecture
courses, etc.--DF. GFSh. rs -

THE ADVANCING PLAGUE.-The Lon
don Times, the Lancet and other English
journals appear to be getting really
alarmed about the continued approach
of the plague. The disease has been
absent from England and the continent
more than one hundred and fifty years,
and from its once favorite haunts in
Egypt, Syria and Mesapotamia for about
forty years. During the last two yea
the disease has appeared now and agai
in villages on the lower Euphrates, and
it has now broken out at Hillah, and
several severe cases have occurred at
Bagdad. The recent outbreaks have
shown no diminutiOn of the old virulence,
and, in the opinion of the Times, there
can be little doubt, when the present
state Of commercial communication is
considered, that the malady may soon be
conveyed from Bagdad to the Levant.
From the Levant 1t might easily pass to
Europe, and even to the shores of Eng
land. The plague was last prevalent in
Bagdad in 1876, and it is believed
that between the 2Sth of March and the
29tb of April, 1881, not less than sixty
thousand persons fell victims to the dis
ease among a population estimated at
one hundred and fifty thousand.

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once
be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become constipated, and
the system to remain in a disordered condition,
til the disorder has time develop itself An ounce
Of prevention is worth pound Of cure is an old and
truthful saying. Therefore, advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache Indigestion, disordered liver, want Of APP
petite, nausea, or feverish skin to take, without
DELAY, schenek's Mandrake Pills We know Of no
remedy 50 harmless and decisive in its action It at
once strikes at he root Of the disease and produces
a healthy tone TO the system. People never need
suffer frsm any disease arising from disordered
condition of the liver if they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications Of
the malady. Families leaving home for the sum-
mer months should take three four boxes Of these
pills with them. They have almost instantaneous
effect They viii relieve the patient Of headache in
one two hou s. and will rapidly cleanse the liver
Of surrounding bile and will efectualIy prevent
bilious attack. They are sold By all druggists.

There is probably no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest
fair-spoken physician, who does his actual
duty both to himself and to his patients
Really skillful physicians are not so numer-
GUS that their virtues need no mention, and
hence the advertisement of DR.. r. V. Pierce
of Buffalo, may well claim the readers atten-
ton. DR.. Pierce is a type of a class of men
who obtain success by careful and we'll
directed effort, not attempting too much, or
creating false ideas as to ability. The only
reliable physician in these days of compIi-
Gated disorders and high-Pressure living is
the Specialist" the man who understands
his one branch of the business. Such in his
line is DR.. Pierce. For the benefit of his
readers he has written Common Sense
Medical Adviser" which IS well worth read
ing by those who need such a work With
strict business honor, high professional skill,
reasonable fees, and large corps of cOmpe-
tent assistants, DR.. Pierce will doubtless make
his name familiar as "hoUsehold words"
