Cure For Hog Cholera.

a correspondent of the Kansas
Farmer says:
"a farmer in the country, exten-
sively engaged in the hog business
here and in Marshall county, and
who has suffered from the loss of
over one hundred hogs this year,
has a remedy which he says cures
i'll every case. The remedy is so
simple and costs so little, that
hope all our farmers will try it and
report their success, My informant
breaks a box of concentrated I've
into barrel of clean water, and
when the I've is dissolved, gives it
to the hogs as drink. IL .rcisiI;uur
who had lost some two hundred
hogs this season, tried the cure
with entire success; every one of
the hogs got well and none heen
sick since. He says he had in his
feeding.lot a hog which would
weigh 500 pounds so nearly dead,
that he thought it useless to try to
save him, but second thought said,
try anyhow. So he rolled him on
his back and poured a pint Of the
liquid, made stronger than in the
barrel, down his throat; and il
less than an hour, porker was OIL
his feet cracking corn nearly as
lively as eyer,'

The Valley of the Teche.
IN. y. Sun.l

The valley of the Teche in Louis
lana has been termed not inaptly
the Italy OF America. Unlike other
valleys, it is not formed by it's Vi
cinage to the slopins base of oppo-
site mountains, leaving but a mar
row channel for the passage Of a
stream. The lands Of the Teche
bordering the bayou from which
this valley takes its name, from a
gently declining area to it's waters.
form a rising elevation that can
hardly claim the dignity of noun.
tain. The grassy shores of the
bayou are shaded with every varie-
ty Of foreet trees, which in many
places dip their branches into the
water. The streams Of the BAYOU
are as clear as crystal, abound with
fish, and seem the favorite resort of
both inland and sea- going birds.
which may be seen skimming over
tueir surfaces at all hours of the
day. It's sloping lawns, dotted
every few miles with pretty draw
bridges facilitating ncighborly in
tercourse, gave it quiet domestic
atmosphere. The prairies of the
Teche are inexpressively beautiful
and form one of the most pleasing
features of the scenery. When the
south wind moves over the fields of
tall rank grasses which cover their
undulating surface, they resemble
the billOWs of some vast inland
lake. These prairies are situated
west of Bayou Teche and south of
Bayou Cocodrie. In the south they
are limited by ar impossible sea of
marsh, and i'll the west by the Cal
casieu and Sabine. The prairies of
the State embrace upwards of g
100000. Owing to the richness OF
it's soil and its wonderful adaptable.
ity to the culture of cane, this dis.
trict is also known as the "sugal
bowl of the United States.

GRUMBLERS AND THE PRESS
Every journalist must have felt
what the New York Herald ex-
pressed in the following; The truth
is that there is scarcely q newspa-
per published from one end of the
year to the other, that will not,
if critically considered, give offense
to somebody In the community.
The politician objects to the way
his speech is reported. The buyers
of one set of shares is offended be-.
cause the money column reports
another set as going up or going
down. Gentlemen who find them
selves in the hands of the police
are grieved at the license of the
press which reports their arraignent
and trial among the police proceed
ings. The sympathizer with
France is offended at letters from
Berlin, and the believer in German
unity mourns over dispatches from
Paris. The newspaper thus offends
some one; just as the weather.
rainy to-day and sunshiny to-mor
rows sure to annoy somebody
The common sense view is that the
newspaper is the history of yester
day written to-day; that it is the
mirror of the time, and that those
who conduct it care nothing for in
dividuals, except to do them jus
tice.
