system on the Farm.

System on the farm is essential
to permanent success. Whatever
branch Of farming is selected should
be stuck to, if only moderately success
full. A man is constantly learning in a
business to which he gives habitual at
tention, and this knowledge is part OF
his capital, just as much as the money
invested in stock, tools, or buildings.
The man who makes wheat a leading
crop, BY studying to lessen the cost OF
production, by experience in the best
methods of preparing the soil, the use
of manure and cultivation of the crop,
can raise wheat cheaper than his neigh
bors, and, though selling it at the same
price, will realize profit where they
barely escape loss. On the other hand,
the man who is ever ready to abandon
his usual practice, in order to follow some
thing that pays exceptionally well at
the moment-such as sheep husbandry
or hop culture, when mutton, wool or
hops are fetching high priests pretty
sure to lose money in the long run,
either through ignorance of the best
methods in his unaccustomed occupa-
ton or an unforeseen fall in the prices OF
the products. Such ventures are Of q

farmer cannot safely afford to be spec

Goats to Protect Sheep.

The farmers of Hunterdon and Som
erset counties, New Jersey, use goats
to protect their sheep from dogs. Two
goats can drive away dozen dogs, and
two are about all each farmer puts in
with his sheep. As soon as a dog enters
the field at night, the goatssatta him,
and their buttingl propensities are TOO
much for the canine, who soon finds
himself rolling over and over. A few
repetitions of this treatment causes the
dog to quit the field, limping and yell
ing. Formerly, when dog entered a
sheep field at night, the sheep would
run wildly around and cry piteously.
Since the goats have been used to guard
them. they form in a line behind the
goats.andseem to enjoy the fun. The idea
of utlllzing goats in this way came
from the West where they are put in
sheep pens to drive away wolves.-N. :

What the River Counties Propose
to Do.
IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE LEyEE BOARD
OF GEEENYiLIE.
Special to the Appeal

Special to the Appeal
GREENy1LLE, Mss, April 5.-The Levee
Board resumed their session this mornin z,
President Stokes in the chair. The annex ed
resolution, offered by President Stokes, was
passed without a dissenting vote:
Res0leed, That while we deplore the de-
vastalion of the recent food and view with
serious concern the grave injuries TO our
line of levees our belief Is that such earth
works constitute our only defense against
flood, and it is our duty to preserve and
improve the system 50 far as our lawful
resources, economically administered, can
accomplish that result.
Mr.. w. A. Pollock, president of the Green
Vile Bank, this morning received q telegram
from Col. Ed Richardson Offering to take
100000 worth of leyee bonds Of this dis
trict at par. The same offer is made By two
leading banking houses of New York. The
board is thus assured Of ample means to
push the work of repair as soon as the water
will allow. p J. Kennedy, of New Orleans,
and George Arnold of Memphis, offer to
take contracts for the entire work. The first
district is not in so good condition; 1t has
forty miles of levee down and no money nor
credit, and debt of nearly or quite $780,
600. Its only hope lies in the consolidation
of all the riparian and 1azoO Delta coun-
ties into one district, of which there Is good
prospects. An address will be issued, so 1t
is said, by the board now in session, calling
a convention of delegates from counties in
terested, to meet here in June, when, if the
consolidation is effected, the Governor will
be asked to call special session Of the Leg
islature to ratiiy the measure. By Septem-
Der 1st., it is hoped the new organization
will be perfected and put in working order

Diphtheria.

DIR. Franklin Staples, Of Winona,
Mimi, after an extended correspon-
dence with physicians in most of the
counties Of his State, has published a
report on diphtheria, in which he classes
the disease as contagious and infectious,
and demonstrates that it is on the
increase, a fact due, in his opinion, to
failure on the part Of physicians in
recognizing its selfpropdgating proper
ties; to want Of systematic nursing Of
patients suffering from the disease; to
incomplete disinfection of premises
attacked and last but not least, to the
frequent intercourse of convalescents
with healthy persons. He maintains
that strict regulations, rigidly enforced,
are the only means adequate to cut short
its career, and since individual power is
unable to cope with it, urges that every
city and town should devise efficient
sanitary laws, and let them be enforced
by intelligent medical officers, who shall
also make it their duty to Instruct the
people in sanitary rules. To guard
against contamination, he believes shat
filth, whether from dirty rooms, soiled
clothing, defective drains and cesspools,
ill-yentilated rooms, poisonous inodor-
Gus gases, etc, should be regarded as
conditions which invite the disease;
that the apartment set apart for the
patient should be Invested of all furni-
ture, carpets, curtains, and fabrics of
any kind not absolutely required that
discharges from the nose. mouth, and
bowels should be carefully collected and
destroyed, and that all personal cloth
ing, bed linen, etc, should be Thoroughly
disinfected before being sent to the
general wash. In case of death, all
clothing and unimportant articles should
be burnt, the body should be immedi-
ately disinfected, and put into its coffin,
which should be kept permanently
closed. There should be no public
funeral He prefers disinfection by
chlorine gas, which is to be set free in
the room. Ventilation for a number of
hours should then be insisted upon.
Precautions falling short of these DIR.
Staples considers to be useless in pre-
venting the spread of the infection

Facts do not sustain this notion. Short

cattle fatten well also, and so do the

former, are famous for milk The Guern-

SUMMER FASHIONS.

THE BONNET Or HAT

The bonnet, or hat, whichever it is, has
become the most striking and distinctive
part of the costume. The white straws
have almost disappeared, and in their place
we have reds, olives, peacock blues, old gold
and lastly Irvine color open, solid and glaze.
1t is strange, but the dark red straws, the
old gold straw, and the olive and bronze
straws are not AT all so loud and pronounced
as one would imagine, and in their quaint
and picturesque shapes, with ostrich feath-
ers for trimming of the same shade, aud a
facing of velvet or satin, are wonderfully
distinguished, especially with light or
cream-colored dresses, such as will be worn
with them ut garden parties and the like.

The large hats and bonnets are not, how
ever, universal. The small boBnets with
crowns of beaded or gold-embroidered lace,
the fronts drawn or covered with lace SINH
lar to the crown, reappear, and there are
also many bonnets covered with black or
cream Spanish lace-the garnitare 4 cluster

For those who do not like the dark hats,
there are some lovely light MANILA straws,
which are faced with delicate shades, shrimp
pink, straw color and pale blue. Pale gold
and cream, straw color and pale blue, the
faint pink known as shrimp and hehen
(the lightest shade) make lovely combina-
tions in rich trimming. But it does injus-
tice to color effects nowadays to simply
speak of crude combinations, for shades are
so toned and SO many melt into one color
