DAYFoRD ON TIE DEFENSIVE.

10 liable, il called, to show a full hand. He
hrs been arranging his matters for three OF
four weeks. The latest coup d'etGt Of that
gentleman is furnished by n dispatch from
Usage City, dated last Friday, which says
that ;. 5. Richmond, one of the principal
leaders OF the Cxldwell-Danford mob, who
was appointed trustee Of the assets Of the
Merchants and Drovers Bank, OF Caldwell,
with powers 10 settle up the business, came
to confer with Dauford in regard to some un-
finished business. A suit was at once insti-
tutej by Danford against members OF the
Caldwell mob for 100000 damages. and the
papers were served upon Richmond by the
sheriff OF this county. This takes the case

Mr.. Poland, of Sandusky, Iowa, said the
primary object with him had been to make
syrup, which was as remurative as sugar.
He had twenty-five acres of sorghum cane
realizing 1000 gallons, which he sold at fifty
cents per gallon, while the cost of the manu-
facturc was less than $500. lie then ground

fodder was also used. lie also made some rs

Dr. Gray, of Utica, the Oldest aud one Of
the most celebrated experts in insanity cases,
agrees with his professional brethren that
Guiteau's motive was revenge. He believes
that the crime originated in personal malice /;
when, after Blaine told him to say no more
about the Paris consulate, he heard the Pres
ident through the door say: 81 will not see
Mr.. Guitsau." Then the assassin's warning
letters were not replied to by the President,
which he took worse than refusal, az they
implied Indifference about him. He first
thought of killing Blaine, but reflected that
Garfield's death would involve Blaine's over
throw, and also bring in another government,
of Guiteau's own creation. The doctor also
says that some personal contact with Gui-
teau, and from the latter's own statements
to him when visiting his cell, he believes
him to be utterly vicious and without even
the ordinary moral instincts. His life has
been one of unbridled vice, and lie has used
theology as a cloak for it. As DIR. Gray was
amitted to the Jail repeatedly by orders OF
the District Attorney to visit with Guiteau
and study him, he has had the very best pos
siblc opportunity for forming correct esti-
mate OF his character.

From the Winterset Chronicle.
HOG CHOLERA,

1t is well-known fact that the disease
known as hog cholera is alarmingly prevalent
in various parts of the country. There is
disposition on the part even of some of our
best farmers TO regard it as epidemic and
hence to submit to the infliction as something
over which they have no control. If this
view be correct, then the thorough invest-
cations made at immense cost by the govern
ment, by the employment Of the best veteri-
nary surgeons have all been in vain. We
are convinced that the view above indicated
is an entire mistake, that the disease known
as genuine hog cholera or swine fever is ney-
er communicated except by the contact of
the excretions OF the sick hog with the
healthy. When this communications is made
Is made in any form. the disease is AS conta-
gious as the small pox. The trouble with
our farmers lies in this they do not stop to
consider the great number OF ways in which
this disease may be communicated without
having the hogs in close proximity.
l. 1t is carried by running water. lives
on Jones creek, we will say. His hogs die
with cholera and he allows them to be thrown
into or near the stream. lives further
down and his hogs drink the water, carrying
with it the injecting virus.
q 1t is carried by dogs.
8. 1t may be carried by rats in their mgra-
tons. Prof. Law, in his supplementary re-
port to the Commissioner of Agriculture,
gives the results Of various experiments, go
ing to prove beyond doubt that rats take the
disease from hogs and in turn communicate
it to hogs. Hat even when no disease is con-
tracted they carr, II with them on their feet.
or in their hair, from one farm to another.
4. 1t is carried by the dead hog peddlers.
A man cannot handle hogs that have died Of
cholera without having the virus on his
boots, hands and clothing. As he drives
over the country he is Il moving pest-housc
and he carries Che virus to every farm where
he stops to ascertain whether they have dead
hogs or not. lie sows the crop from which
he reaps the harvest.
8 1t may be carried Oh the boots of visit
ors from farm TO farm. C's hOgs have the
cholera. He goes over to consult his neigh
Dor ID. ID invites Kim TO notice the healthy
condition of his hogs. Half an hour is spent
in the examination and he invites ID over to
see the sick ones. In five or six days DIS
hogs are sick and he thinks the disease must
be in the air.
6. 1t IS the custom of many farmers TO al
low their shoats to run ut large. They meet
the hogs of their neighbors and in this way
they carry home the infection.
The only safety is in rigid quarantine OF
hogs all the year round. We have had from
three to five large herds of hogs for years and
have never had 4 single case of the disease.
We attribute their freedom from it to the fact
that the hogs are never allowed to come on
the place even 10 be weighed, and no dead
hog buyers are allowed, on any preteXt, to
set foot on any of the farms. 1t may reach
these herds after while, but it will be by
infection that we cannot guard against, such
as rats or wolves OF running water.
