Sunflowers and Malaria,

OuAAOW0IS anu U1dldTld.
This subject received some at
tention about three years ago,
when conversation between Gen.
Sherman and the correspondent
of a London paper respecting the
pestilontial marshes around Rome,
was published. The general said:
ave utilize such places and make
them healthy; we just SOW them
with sunflower seed-common
sunflower-and that does it,"
My own experience points to the
same conclusion. Taking up the
cultivation of the sunaower a few
years ago, attention was forcibly
drawn to the subject OF its extern
sive cultivation having a marked.
Iy beneficial effect on the sur
rounding atmosphere, by the fact
that one season the village near
which | resided was visited by a
severe epidemic of scarlet fever
and typhus, many children died
one in a cottage where the whole
family was Frustrated at one time,
not a hundred yards from my
own house. All my family es-
capped without a touch of sickness.
had at that time about sixty very
large sunfower plants in my gar
den surrounding the house, many
of them being twelve feet high.
My personal experience of the eff
fciency of the cultivation OF the
sunaower as a preventive of mias
matte fever has been fully borne
out by other and worthier author.
tiles, of whom General Sherman
is one. A land owner on the
banks OF the Sheldt sowed the
sunAower extensively on his prop
erty near the river, with such eff
feet that therehas not been a single
case Of miasmatic fever among
his tenants for years, although
the disease continues to prevail IN
the neighborhood. The medical
men in France, Italy and Germa-
ny believe the cultivation of the
sunfower to be effectual in re
! moving the sources of diseases.
1t feeds largely by it's leaves, ab-
serbs nitrogen more rapidly than
any other plant, and will evapo.
rate as much as a quart of water
! daily. | am convinced that the
cultivation of this much neglected
plant on larger scale would not
only be beneficial but remunera'
tive. The fiber can be used for
making paper. The ripe seed is
most useful as food for poultry,
especially during the moulting
season. From it a fine oil-sec
ond to olive-is extracted. The
leaves are much relished by rab
bits, and the thick stems may be
used as fuel.-Public Opinion.

These Pills are not recommended
as a remedy for call the ills that
flesh is heir to-" but in affections of
the Liver, and in all Bilious Com
plants, Dyspepsia and Sick Head
ache, or diseases of that character,
they stand without a rival.
AGUE AND FEVER.
No better cathartic can be used
preparatory to, or after taking Qui-
nine.
AS simple purgative they are
unequaled.

The Scuppernong Grape
South.

The pine barrens Of North Car
olina, after being exhausted of
their wealth of turpentine and
timbers.are said to be admirably
adapted TO grape culture. Sandy
hillsides planted with scuppernong
vines are reported ia ten years to
have yielded an average of ten
bushels per vine, and twenty-five
bushels are reported on avine TWEEN
ty-five years old. InSOuth Carolina
the Charleston News reports a
scuppernong vine that shaded the
ground SO thoroughly for one
hundred square feet that not a
spear of grass grew under it, and
yet it cost the owner nothing but
the trouble of taking out the
wood in the fall and inserting
here and there a fence rail, per-
haps once a year, either to ex-
tend his arbor or to replace
decayed rail. The New Orleans
Picayune says: We have seen
in Louisiana scuppernong vines
covering immense arborS and full
of fruit. The soil OF the pine bills
is admirably suited to this vine.
We have also seen in this state e.
normous fig trees, the branches
laden with rich foliage and delici-
Gus fruits. If i were not for pol
iticians Louisianians could have
the Old Testament comfort Of sit
ting under their own vines and
fig trees. Prairie Farmer.
