The Sanitary Council of the Mis-
sissippi Valley meets at Cairo, Ill,
April Is, when a large attendance is
expected and a number of impol-
tant questions will be discussed.
Among these will be the subject of
the continuance of the Mississippi
river inspection service during the
coming summer, and the proven
ton of the spread of smallpox. 1t
is proposed to have a thorough in
spection of all immigrants arriving
in this country, so that all can be
vaccinated, if necessary. The
State Boards of Health of New
York, West Virginia, Kentucky, In
diana, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Illinois. with the health authorities
of Pittsburg, Cincinnati and other
cities propose to work together in
this matter, beginning on May l,
and desires the cooperation of the
other states to prevent the spread
bf this disehsk.

Grasses Cor Meadow.

Orchard grass is certainly second
only to timothy as a hay grass, and
preferable as feeding or temporary
pasture grass. 1t has a broad leaf,
and is branchy and of thick growth.
1t is very early grass and thrives
everywhere that timothy will, and
in places where it will not. But it
is a well known fact that mixed
crops produce the heaviest Yields,
and mixture of grasses is preferable
even for hay. And these should be
chosen with a view to even maturity
for cutting. Timothy is a late
grass, but is nearly always cut too
late, and when past its prime. Red
top mixes well with timothy, max
fing a thick bottom and tending to
Orce the former to tall growth

Party Insanity.

The republican party never had
so splendid an opportunity to recov-
er the confidence which it has lost
in recent years as it has at present.
The revenues are largely in excess
of the expenditures, and a reduc-
ton of at least fifty million dollars
in taxation could be easily effected
with very great advantage to many
of the suffering industries of the
country and without the slightest
injury to the public interests. In
stead of this they propose a reduc-
ton estimated at SIC, 600, and
which removes some of the most
productive, least felt and easiest
collected of all taxes. If Mr..
Gladstone had such a chance in
England as is now before the re-
publican party here he might defy
all the efforts of his opponents to
drive him from power for the next
ten years. The trouble with the re-
publicans, however, is that all their
leaders rolled into one would not
make a statesman of half the sagac-
fty of the great English liberal, and
the finances will in all probability
be the rock on which they will be
shattered. In nearly every state in
the union large bodies of working
men are clamoring for higher wages
and complaining that they find it
impossible to live. If they will
find that the chief cause of their
distress lies in the Ubiquitous tariff
which compels them to pay double
for more than one-h half the necessa-
of life. This outrageous agglomer-
alton of jobs and swindles the re-
publican leaders are endeavoring to
perpetuate for the benefit of the
manufacturers. Was there ever a
greater exhibition of party insani-
ty? War taxes are maintained in
a time of peace that capital may
reap unprecedented profits and that
the taxes wrung from the people
may be divided among the lobby

Mr.. Gladstone, prime minister of
England, who is a close student of
agriculture, said recently: "The
skill that is required to enable a
man to get out of $4,000, $4,000
$4,000 or $4,000 in agriculture
the same profit as from trade, or
many descriptions of manufactures,
is a far greater degree Of skill. He
has many more contingencies to
consider. He has a wider and
more varied knowledge to acquire.
His profession, although it is prob
ably the most agreeable of all pro-
fessions, yet is also, on account of
the demand which it makes upon
his knowledge and skill, the diff
cult of all professions"

a Cure for Cancar

81. R. R. the Washington staff
correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle, writes as follows:
Some years ago there lived at
Norfolk a man named Wi liam
Brasie. He had been a soldier
under General jackson at New Or
leans. He was a noted hunter, and,
having simple tastes, cared little or
nothing for the accumulations of
wealth. He could have made many
thousands of dollars, for he had dis
covered a secret that, properly util-
lied, on business principles, would
have been more lucrative than a
gold mine. Far and wide his fame
as curer of cancers extended.
Men. are living at this day who can
testify that, for a mere pittance, he
saved their lives from the ravages
of cancer, when surgeons and doc
tors, in America and Europe, had
abandoned them as hopeless cases.
One day he went out partri ce
shooting with a gentleman, with
whom he was intimate, and in whom
he had confidence. Resting on the
ground, after a long tramp, the con
versation turned upon Brasie's
wonderful cures. The old mans
comrade suggested that it would be
a pity to let so useful a secret perish.
Brasie answered: ut shall not die
with me. 1 will tell you. When
you learn the mystery you will laugh
at its simple nature. l 90 into the
swamp and gather there branches
of the white ash tree. These l burn
to ashes. OF these ashes l make an
excessively strong I've by teaching.
This | boil down to all the coRcen-
tration possible. With lard and
flour l convert the decoction into a
plaster. This plaster is applied to
the cancerous part for forty eight
hours. The tortue endured by the
patient is something horrible. At
the expiration of that time another
plaster, reduced one-half in potency,
is substituted. This must be kept
on for three weeks. At the end of
that period the cancer can be drawn
out with ease and the patient is
cured. / have now exposed the
secret of my success, but you must
never reveal it." Up to two days
ago the pledge was kept, and [ am
the first person to let the world
know with what common instru-
mentalities William Brasie worked
his miracles. He grouped cancer
into four classes. Three of these
he could individually cure. The
fourth was beyond his skill. If it
be true that red clover-top tea can
perform predigies in this direction,
why should not a plaster made from
the white swamp ash be equally
woodworking? 1t may be that
old Basic, in protesting to disclose
his. riddle, was giving his friend an
excessively strong lie; but the i'm
preston is that he uttered the truth,
and that somebody may take this
hint with golden profits. Like a
true philanthropist, 1 give the re-
cipe without money and without
price.

Raise Small Fruits,

Mr.. c.. A. Green in the Fruit
Grower, thus sensibly discourses
cit would seem that no sane per
son would require arguments to in
duce the planting of a full supply OF
fruits for home use. Yet we can
hear, 80, l can buy cheaper than |
can grow them" What does this
mean? Will he buy two large farm
wagon loads of grapes, and have
them fresh every day for six monthst
Will he buy 20 bushels of strawber-
ries, and as many other small fruits,
besides pears, peaches and cherries
in abundance? My family and
friends and laborers eat as many
annually, and they are economical
in every sense. No-hc has III mind
the buying of a single basket or so
of grapes, 20 quarts Of berries, and
a few baskets of peaches, mostly to
be canned-simply an aggravation
and then he will pay large doctor
bills, and continue TO argue that it
is cheaper to buy fruit. Why,
there is not one family in one thou
sand that can say they have an
abundance of small fruits, peaches,
pears, etc. 1t is nothing less than
crime thus to stife natures de-
mands for those heslthful blessings.
Montgomery Advertiser: The
mystery surrounding Stonewall
Jackson's death will not be cleared
away. 1t is one which the world
believes insolvable, and proof clear
as sunlight would not be taken for
the truth. After a doubt hangs
over a subject so long, and so many
stories have been told for the truth,
the truth itself is powerless to con
vince. 1t is better perhaps that we
should never know. The belief so
long current, that he was killed by |
the men who loved him best and |
have died for him, has given
o the story of his death a tender
less from which we would not part.

Farm and Home.
Farmers who boon their own bar

Farmers who hoop their own bar
rels, tubs, etc, whenever they need
it, mend and oil their harness, do
their own butchering, papering,
painting, whitewashing, filing of
saws, mending of farm implements,
and dozens of other things which
people with any ingenuity are capa-
BILE of, have little idea how much
they save every year by so doing.
Things can be kept in much better
order than if they were obliged to
wait until money could be earned to
pay professional hands for doing the
work, and oftentimes little mechan-
ical jobs can be done in much less
time than would be consumed in
CARRYING them to and from a public
workshop.
A light and comfortable work
shop, with bench, vice, and carpen-
ter's tools sufficient for doing any
ordinary work, is almost indispensa-
BILE to a successful farmer. Things
so often need repairing, and then, in
the leisure of stormy days and win
try weather, a great many things
needed ON farm-like cart and
wagons, sleds, OK yokes, axe and
whip handles, can be manufactured
by the farmer or his sons, which
serve as good purpose as if they
had been bought, and cost, in this
way, comparatively little.
A soldering iron, with the neces-
ry accompaniment of resin, acid
and solder, is another economical
institution which dairy men, espe-
cially, find very convenient, for, if
every milk can, pan, pail, etc, had
to be carried to the tin shop when
ever a leak was to be stopped, a
great deal of time, if not money,
would be consumed by it. Then,
every time lead pipe can be mend
ed by home talent, enough is saved,
if far from a village, to cover the
cost of an iron. Ladies, with lit
tie practice, can easily learn to use
them and keep their tinware looking
much more wholesome than if mend
ed with putty or rags drawn through.
If ones time is so fully occupied
that they would be obliged to neg
lect things of more Importance to
attend to such matters, of course it
would be poor economy to do so;
but this is not apt to be the case
with general farmers, as foul wealth
er gives so much opportunity for in
door work that good managers will
contrive to do most of their repair
ing and mechanical work at such
times.
To be Of an permanent benefit to
his townspeople in the way of fur
nishing employment, a man must so
manage his business, whatever it is,
that will be profitable and enable
him to build up a capital with
which to work; this, at the present
time at least, cannot be done with
out close attention to business, and
the avoidance of all unnecessary eX-
penses.-I Southern World.

An exchange says of the amber
cane in Minnesota, one acre of land
planted in amber cane and fairly
cultivated will yield twelve to fif-
teen tons of cane, according to soil
and season. One ton of cane will
yield twelve to fourteen gallons of
string proof syrup. One gallon of
string proof syrup will yield five to
seven pounds of sugar. The re-
mainder after the sugar is extracted
being first-class syrup. The cane
can be raised, laid down at the mill,
with not more than two miles of
hauling, and worked into string
proof syrup at an average cost not
exceeding twenty cents per gallon.
AT twelve tons of cane per acre and
fourteen gallons of syrup per ton we
may average the product of 16S gal
Ions of syrup per acre. At five
pounds of sugar to the gallon the
sugar produced would be $40
pounds, leaving a residue of eighty
i've gallons of syrup. The sugar at
eight cents per pound amounted to |
1920, and the syrup at sixty cents
per gallon amounted to SOL. The |
l5S gallons of syrup at twenty cents
per gallon will cost 1880, but add
fifty per cent. to cover possible con-
the extreme cost is $50.
Oeducting this from the value of
he sugar and syrup $11S.20, and
We have left $3.50 for transporta-
ion of syrup to refinery, refinery ex-
oenses and profits.
