Quinine Trees.

During the last two or three years a
bark containing quinine and quinidine
has been imported into England from
Columbia in such enormous quantities
as to equal or even sometimes exceed the
whole of the importation Of cinchona
bark from all other countries. The
botanical source Of this bark, which is
known in commerce under the name of
Cuprea Cinchona, on account OF It's
peculiar coppery tint, has hitherto been
a mystery. NJ. Triana, the well known
quinologist, has recently succeeded in
tracing it out, and has stated, in the
Pharmaceutical Journal for April %,
that it is derived in great measure from
two species of the nearly allied genus
Remiia, none of the members of which
were previously known to contain quin-
inc. Several species of Remyia have
leaves resembling those of the true chin
chonas, and of these VI. Triana has deter
mined that X. pitrdteand, Wedd., and
II. pedmcUdta, Karsten, certainly yield
cuprea bark, the former being the
species which contains the alkalOid
cinchonamine, recently discovered by
NJ, Arnaud. 1t appears probable that
other species also yield the cuprea GIN
chona of commerce, but definite infor-
nation on this point is still wanting.
The value of this bark has led, accord
ing to NJ. Triana, to great devastation
of the forest in which the trees grow,
and has produced financial stagnation,
business being neglected in order to fol-
low the more profitable occupation of
collecting the bark. Fortunately seeds
of the tree have been received and are
now in cultivation at Malvern House,
Sydenham. The tree is likely to prove
valuable for cultivation in countries
where malarial fever abounds, since it
grows at an elevation of 100000 meters
above the sea, at which even red Gin
chona bark will not flourish.

SHEEP AND DOCS.

Since we cannot induce orr law
makers to make dog laws to protect
sheep, we must look around us and see
If each farmer cannot protect his own
sheep. We are fully satisfied that q
small Investment in sheep bells will do
it efeetually. The dogs have never
killed any of our sheep, but We believe
in preventives more than in cures. We
have purchased for our flock of one
hundred sheep and lambs fifteen bells,
and we had three bells before, so We will
have a dozen and half bells ringing to
charivari the dogs. The cost of these
bells was S2.33 in New Orleans, or
about Is cents apiece. We will add to
them three or four larger bells, costing
% or 80 cents each for the strong
weathers. These, with good straps,
would make the cost about So for fifteen
bells. There is no doubt in our minds
that this will render flock of 100 sheep
perfectly secure against sheep-killing
dogs. The loss of single Merino lamb
would be more than the cost of protect
ing the whole flock, not one year, but
for ten years or more-for if the straps
are noticed and kept inf good order the
bells may last great many years. Why
then, wait for legislatures, when we can
protect our sheep at cost of less than
81 year for the whole flock? Some
very bad dogs may kill sheep in a flock
that is we'll belled, but we do not believe
that the worst Of dogs would trouble such
flock.
1t is well known that dogs never bark
when they pursue sheep TO kill them.
The are sneaks, and act like other
thieves, as though they are well aware
that they are doing mean and unlaw-
full act. Nor do they want the sheep to
make any noise while the massacre pro
eeeds. Like other midnight murderers
they want no alarmists near them-no
geese or poodle dogs. When dog goes
to kill sheep he has to have race for
it. He may pull out several mouthfuls
of wool before he strikes mutton. In
the meantime the whole flock is alarmed
and in rapid motion-convulsiye, con
tinued motion-the bells chariyari the
dogs and alarm the neighborhood, and
the frightened thieves become bewiI-
dered like the people of city at the
sound of fire bells in the midst of a
storm, or the people of the lowlands at
the sound of water rushing through a
new crevasse. Farmers and breeders,
give the sheep bells fair trial, and
let US see if sheep-raising in these states
cannot be made profitable without the
aid of our AUTOMATICALLY Daniel
Bennett, in New Orleans Picayune.

Less Cotton but More Food.


The Cincinnati Enquirer of recent
date, in an article showing the condition
of the crops has this to report "The
falling off in the acreage of this sea-
sons cotton crop may fairly be regarded
as a surprise. As reported by Brad
streets journal of Saturday, the de-
crease compared with 1881 is per cent.
Yet we are told that this falling off of
some 10000 acres is not due to the
heavy oyerhows from the Mississippi
and its tributaries last spring, as other
reports from that region had previously
intimated.
''In the report published on Saturday,
it was shown that the decrease in cotton
acreage was heaviest in Georgia, being
232, S53 acres. In Alabama the falling
off was large also, ISL 1897 acres and
in Mississippi, the loss in cotton acreage
was given at 49,, 1897 acres. These
States, then, are credited with the
heaviest losses. Florida and Virginia
are said to have the same acreage this
rs last year, and in Missouri the loss is
Of little moment. In the other cotton
States the decreases vary from 53,OOO
to 10000 acres. There can be but one
explanation to this conspicuous contrac-
ton Of the cotton area, and that can be
briefly expressed as the necessity for
'hog and hominy.' The acreage to
wheat, corn and oats, has very largely
increased in the South this year, and the
indications are that the farmers are
more than ever determined to raise
diversified crops This is the most wei
come intelligence from that region re-
ceived since the development of an
industrial South If steadily pursued,
it must root out the pernicious system
of mortgaging crops, generally all one
crop. This viii emancipate the South,
ern farmer financially"
The wisdom of this new departure
will be more apparent next winter, in
both making and saving money for the
South. The outlook for large yield
of corn in the West is not promising.

How TO RAISE TURKEYs.-Set the
first and second layings under chicken
hens. When the eggs hatch grease the
hen under the breast and wings to kill,
insects and coop them up for two OF three
days until they learn the call of the hen.
Now feed them cheese made Of sour
milk, mixing eorn-meal with It while
hot. Shorts and meal mixed together
are also good. Never feed corn-meal
alone, as It viii kill them unless it is
baked. Pure water and milk should be
kept where they can have free access to
the same. Any one, by following these
simple rules, can be successful IN rails

Queer Observation-Disclosures in Civili-
Zed Clothes.

The Indians that have been at
Hampton between two and three
years, are now beginning to learn
the value and use of clothes. They
see that it is a little more trouble
to get a suit of clothes than a blank
ct, which they could make answer
for hat, coat, vest and pants. The
girls who were accustomed to keep
both body and head buried beneath
heavy shawls on all occasions and
in all places, ARE beginning to leave
them off more frequently. A few
mornings ago a girl came in the
class with her shawl all drawn up
around her head One or two Of the
girls began at once to motion and
pull at her She very soon drop
ped it from her head. One of the
girls seeing that / had been MOTTO
ing what was going on, said: "In-
dian girls at Mr. HIS school wear
shawls on their heads but Hampton
girls do not do it." Suspecting that
they had been recently lectured on
the subject, replied: II am glad
they know better" Several times
in the same class a girl would
unconsciously gather her
shawl about her head, but a
mere nod or look from the other was
enough to make it drop. think a
reform in this matter has begun.
One not accustomed to deal with
the Indians would be surprised at
the large amount of clothes re9uir-
ed for the first one or two years after
taking off the blanket. To say
that the boys are hard on clothes is
to put it too mildly. The first two
years they found many strange
uses for their clothing. Blankets
would be cut up and decorated for
fancy pants, sheets would be turned
into strings to serve their many

In need of them he will not hest
tate to use his coat Innings. What
ever is new must be worn in pref
erence to anything else. If a boy
has summer suit, it is hard to
make him understand why he
should not wear it in February.
They think they ought to be per-
mitted to wear new pair of cotton
overalls to the exclusion of the
wooden pants, for few days, till
the novelty of them is gone. The
following is about the average of
the principal garments needed for
the first two years: eight out
side coats, nine pair pants, two
overcoats, ten pair shoes, eleven out
side shirts, fourteen pair socks, six
pair suspenders, eight hats or caps.
