There has been considerable discussion of late as
TO the presence of malaria in many parts OF New
England. Doctors have met and agreed that
they knew nothing about the causes OF
the so-callel sporadic appearance OF TINS
curse of the country. Mrs. Hooker at

that the prevalence of this scourge IN the
Nutmeg State wa largely if not wholly, due to to-
bacco culture Tobacco. it Is well known. is n most
exhausting crop. and the fertility of the Connecticut
tobacco lands Is only to be kept up by abundant
supplies of manure brought from New-York. These
refuse heaps are allowed to lie for weeks and
months rotting and feTmenting in the river
valleys, and spreading everywhere the germs
of tho disease On this theory the remedy would
seem to be simrly Danish tobacco and the malaria
will disappear with it. This would be king TWO
birds with one stone, and onght to commend itself
To the shrewd farmers of Connecticut.
