The whole sum and substance OF
the case is, that Mr.. Hayes puts him

the polls. It is the last desperate

Without the use OF troops and the aid
OF the other machinery invented by
them, they have 10 possible hope OF
CARRYING the next election. Ii they

The doctors have been of the
opinion that it was quite i'm
possible to discover the ulti-
mate cause, of malarial fevers.
The spores that produces ty-
phus and yellow and other fe-
vers, have been deemed too
inhnitesimally small, if it exists,
to be seen; but it is now stated
in the medical journals that Pro-
fessor Kiebs of Prague, and
Professor Tommasi, of Rome,
have been examining during
the past spring into the physical
poison which produces marsh
fever. They examined the low
er strata of the atmosphere of
the Roman Campagna and its
soil. In both they discovered
a microscopic fungus, consist
ing of movable shining spores
of a long oval shape, With
these spores animals were arti-
ficially infected with intermit-
tent fever of the true marsh
type, and they showed precisely
the same enlargement of the
spleen as human beings who
have caught the fever in the or
binary way. Tommasi aud
K1ebs have given this fungus
the name OF Bacillus maka,te,
as it grows in the shape Of
reeds.

The chief reason why the pig
stores up SO large a proportion
of food, compared with the
sheep and OK, is due to the fact
that the pig, having but one
stomach, requires d more con-
centrated form of diet and there
fore a greater proportion of the
food is assimilated.

HOME AND FARM.
Pruning prnit snd ornamental Trees

Wa read a great deal about
the proper time of pruning trees
ard especially the apple tree.
Some prefer fall, some mid-win-
ter, some early spring, but
scarcely one recommends the
very best time in our humble
opinion-midsummer. But we
think we will be sustained by a
majority of the live men of the
day.
If we desire to improve the
form of a fruit tree and get rid
of some of the superf1uous wood
we should prune from the 18th
of June to the goth of July. We
have done this often with
the happiest results. The fruit
buds form after this, and the
operation in suddenly cutting
off its growth produces buds,
while the winter or early spring
pruning will produce only
wood.
In pruning ornamental trees
in midsummer, the bark, instead
of receding from the stump,
grows over it, and in a few-years
will completely cover it and
make a perfect amputation. We
have noticed this upon our own
premises, as well as upon those
of others, many times. This
pruning is done when the tree
is taking its midsummer siesta,
and then wakes up, refreshed
for another start, and the bark
gradually steals over the stump
as if ashamed of the shabby
looking exposure.
When the tree is in full leaf
and presents its full form to us,
we can see exactly where the
pruning should be done in order
that, while the overgrowth may
be removed, the symmetry of
the tree may be preserved. Es-
pecially is midsummer pruning
to be preferred-6rst, to pro-
duce buds on fruit-bearing trees,
as before stated; and, second,
when large limbs are to be re-
moved.

The old Romans were good
farmers, and they protected and
encouraged the art of agricul-
ture. Services to the state were
rewarded by donation of land,
and boundaries of the farm,
once established, were held sa-
cred and never disturbed.
There was no legislative inter
ference between buyer and
seller, neither forced sales on
the one hand nor limitation of
prices on the other; while to
cut or destray in the night time
the growing crop of his neigh
Dor subjected the Roman citi-
zen to death.

Work and Worry.

Studying too hard, cover
worked" are charged with many
deaths, but not wisely. Trouble
kills. Its a very rare thing for
a person to think himself to
death, unless connected with
something more or less distress
ing Study is bliss to the
student-he had rather study
than eat; the sound of the din
ner bell is always unwelcome.
The greatest students in moral
philosophy, and divinity, aud
physics mot physic). have lived
long, and worked efficiently to
fourscore and beyond. Thought
is II, the brain what exercise is
to the physical constitution; it
keeps the channels of life clear,
the blood-vessels unobstructed,
and the vital fluid courses along
them, distributing newness of
life and vigor of action to the
latest hour of existance, while
the want of thought brings
stagnation to the circulation,
and causes man to drivel and
sleep in old age-dead asto ev-
erything except eating, and doz-
ing, and lowering over the fire.
Men may study ever so hard,
and after 50 may study with
comfort and advantage for five,
ten and fifteen hours day after
day; and, if the studies are
pleasurable they promote the
well being of the system, both
physical and mental, if only
abundant sleep is had, with a
regular supply of simple and
nourishing food, sitting down to
meals in pleasant moods, and
allowing good half-hour before
study is resumed. Many if our
literary men die prematurely,
not from over-study, but from
depressing mental states and
irregular or excessive eating and
drinking.
1t is haste, rather than steady,
continuous labor of body or
mind, which hurries multitudes
to their graves scores of years
before their time. With all
haste there is impatience, solic-
itude, worry. The fastest trains
the fleetest steamers, the first
trotters, everywhere command
premiums. To save time,
might boots" are patronized,
breakfast is bolted, the morn
ing papers read on the cars, and
everything is done under high
pressure. But, just as certainly
as a bank balance, rapidly
drawn upon, melts away before
it was expected, SO does this
reserve of vital stamina disap-
pearls used up-and the man
dies in his prime, at the very
moment, often, when he had
just got in position where he
could afford to enjoy himself

Falling Leaves.

They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side
Severed from the noble branches
Where they waved in beauieUus pride.
They are falling In the valleys
Where the early viulets spring,
And the birds in sunny springiiine
First their grandest dulcet ring.
They are falling, sadly falling.
Close beside our cottage door;
Pale and faded, like the love ones
Who have gone furey eimpre.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty son around;
Yet the ladel leaves are falling.
Falling On the grassy mound.
They are falling on the streamlct,
Where the si!rery waters flow,
And upon Its placid bosom
Onward with the waters 90.
They ave falling in the churchynnl,
Where our kindred swcctly sleep;
Where TIE lille winds OF summer
Softly DER our loved ones sweep.
They are falling. ever falling,
When the autumn breezcs sigh
When the stars in beauty glisten
Bright upon the midnight sky.
They are falling where the tempest
Means like Oceans hollow ruar-
When the luneleSs winds and pillows
sadly sigh forevermore.
They arc falling, they are falling,
While our saddened thoughts still go
To the sunny days of childhood
In the dreamy long ago.
And their faded hucS remind us
Ofthe brightest hopes and dreams
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams.

"Good butter" says the au-
Their of a little treatise on the
management ofcreameries, "can
be made in more than one way,
if the three essentials, good
milk, temperature and cleanli-
ness eau be commanded"
This is sensible, and is in ac-
cordance with our own views
previously given. 1t is nom
sense for one maker, who prac-
tees a given mode, to say an
other who employs different
method cannot make good but
ter, the above essentials being
observed.

Hog Cholera.


We find great variety of
theories, says the Western
Stock Journal, in regard to the
. cause of hog cholera, among
them we have seen the follow
ing: Worms, filth, exposure,
to mrch corn. too early MATURE
ty, continued breeding to young
sows, blood poison, etc.
Doubtless all these theories are
in part correct, or have a basis
of fact. Why go outside of
natural and well known causes
to account for hog cholera.a
In the human family we have
epidemics from different causes
and in different forms; we do
not undertake the impossible
by seeking after one cause for
all diseares, even all epidemics.
Sometimes the cause may
be exposure, at others gorging
with improper food, and again
the influence may be malarial.
The symptoms at one time
indicate typhoid fever, at anoth-
err putrid sore throat, and again
dysentery; we do not seek for
a common cause, nor COM
mon cure. Why pursue a diff
ferent course with a swine?
We have in the hog a combi-
nation of dangerous elements,
vigorous appetite, rapid eat
ing small muscle compared to
size of animal, inclination to
keep quite, etc. Take the
people of Iowa, give a constant
supply of choice food, let them
eat and go to bed, take no pre-
cautions against extremes of
weather, and how long would
it be before cholera, diphtheria,
consumption, ETC., would sweep
them off by the thousanda Let
us apply the same to our hogs.
Only healthy animals should be
coupled, and not till they have
reached maturity, or nearly so.
While plenty of good food
should be given, the appetite
should be constantly restrained
until short time before mar
keting: concentrated food
should be fed cautiously and
ample time given for digestion;
pure water in abundance should
be furnished, and all the pre-
caution to health taken that are
known to the human family.
We do not say that disease can
be absolutely avoided in this
way, but we are well satisfied
the larger portion can.

PLANTING ORCHARDS.

In planting an orchard it is
expected to last a life time,
therefore it should receive the
most careful attention. The
situation and soil are of prime
Importance. Low places where
cold air settles and causes frost
and mildew should be avoided,
and those elevated and high
places selected which are free
from these evils. The varieties
to plant are of greater impor-
lance. In this country summer
and fall apples are drug in the
market and in the family.
Twenty trees of summer and
fall apples will supply nearly
any family, while all the balance
should be of the best winter
varieties.
The number of varieties
should be as small as possible.
1t is a very good thing to say, 81
have forty or fifty kinds" but
we can assure our readers there
is no profit in them. Nearly
every kind we ever saw will
grow aud produce some fruit in
this climate, but we have few
kinds that will produce the
quantity and quality desired.
We would therefore suggest
that this point be carefully con-
sidered, and that not by writing
to some nurseryman away off
yonder, but by simply going
among your neighbors and
seeing for yourself what kinds
are freest from disease and rot;
what grows the best, ripens the
best and hangs on the longest,
no matter if it is an old kind, or
if it has never been heard of be-
yond its native place; those are
the kinds you want.
The trees for setting should
be young and vigorous; they
should have plenty of small
fibrous roots, and if you are of
fered a tree with nothing but
thick Stubs, don't take 1.-THE
chances are that it will take a
year or two Of good nursing to
give it a good start.
The ground in which the tree
is planted should be thoroughly
pulveriZed and well worked in
amongst the roots until it is in
close contact with every one,
after which a few inches of earth
should be placed around and the
whole pounded or tramped I'M
till it is very compact. Re-
member, the year after trans
planting is the most important
of all others in the life of a tree.
If a good healthy vigorous
growth is secured that year,
there is greater certainty of its
being kept up thereafter.
Now all this requires time;
and should be attended to when
other matters are not pressing.
This is one reason why we adj
vocate fall planting; another
reason is that the roots grow
and heal over in the winter, and
when spring comes they are
ready to grow, and do grow,
before the hot, dry weather sets
in, and the success of the or
chard is secured.-Farmer's
