The yalue of Shelter.

Bartlett Brothers, of Round Grove, Iowa
write:
In looking over the letters on the subject of
"hog cholera" In the weekly Inter.Ocean, l
am more than ever satisfied that the key to
the whole mystery is overlooked; and that is
good shelter. Seven years ago the disease
went through this vicinity, commencing in
the month Of September, and every herd,
with two EXCEPTIONS suffered those two were
treated no better than the rest, only they had
good shelter and were we'll bedded. Our herd
at the time numbered about 100 head of year
ling hogs and as many more spring Digs, OF
which we lost about one-half. They were
running on tame grass pasture, with grove
in it, and a creek of pure water running by 1t /;
had corn all summer, and had commenced
feeding new corn. This disease broke out
among our hogs, as with our neighbOrs, just
after cold rains. Since this experience we
have provided good, high posted, well ventil.
ated sheds, and kept them well bedded aud
dry at all times OF the year, and have lost no
more hogs from cholera, thumps or any other
disease We use no preventive medicines, and
are raising $50 head yearly. We feed young
pigs and sows mill feed and soaked corn
through the winter, with once in a while a
feed of oats for a change. Give ashes every
morning, either of coal or wood, as 1t comes
from the stove; salt twice week. We think
1t ones fault If his hogs have cholera, unless
brought to them, until find proofto the con-
trary than have yet seen. think 1t conta-
gious but generally spontaneous.

A fruitgrower in Valparaiso, South Amer
lea, writes 10 his local paper that he has dis
covered singular property in tomato leaves.
IL appears that having cut down some tomato
vines, he used them as "mulch" around his
peach trees. He soon discovered that the cur
cullo, which had been devourIng his fruit,
had abandoned the trees surrounded by toma-
10 vines Following mp this accidental dis
covery, he found that the free use of tomato
vines proved perfect protection, not only
against the curculio, but against other nox-
ious insects He found, also, that BY steep.
ing in water some fresh leaves of the tomato,
and sprinkllng the infusion upon other plants,
the innumersble insects which cover them
were driven away.

boats nightly. The steamers are fitted up
i'll the best of style, and the officers, who
are all uniformed, are attentive and oblig-

the fresh, invigorating breeze from the
water, but splendid view of Chesapeake
and Delaware scenery is had. This route
will recommend itself after one trial.
