Loss of Stock and Crops.
LINCOLN, Neb,, June pa special to the
State Journal from Teeumseh forty-eight
miles south on the big Nemeha river, says
''The heaviest rain ever known fell here on
Friday night. The streams, already over
flowed, by this addition to the flood made a
raging torrent Of every creek. Fifty thou
sand dollars worth of bridges are
washed out. Thousands of hogs and
hundreds of head of cattle are drowned,
The crops are badly damaged on the bottom
lands, which, fortunately, form but a small
proportion of the country. The total loss
in this county, which is small one, will ex-
coed 100000. Eight inches of water fell on
Friday night, and six inches had fallen in
the previous week. Houses were washed
away, and the families are destitute No one
was drowned, but two persons were killed by
lightning. Tecumseh, a town of 1000 peo-
pie, is cut of groceries and -four. The
Nemeha valley, 100 miles long, is entirely
cut off from railroad communication.

are drawing fat salaries from the govern

men who will be willing and vigorous in the

Feeding Sour Food to Pigs.

The prevailing notion that the hog has di-
gestion equal to any undertaking in the way
of converting crude or offensive food, lead
many to give. in excessive quantities, what
ever refuse happens to be on hand, whether
spoiled grain. putrid meat or other refuse.
The result of such mess, when given to a
SOW about to pig, or having litter at her
side, is inevitably damaging to the pigs.
The milk glands act in such a case as an out
let for offending substances that get into the
system through the stomach. or that through
any species of disorded action, are engen-
dered within the system. From this it will
be seen that the milk of an animal not in a
perfect state of health must contain a con-
siderable portion of the impurities that are
from hour to hour given off. The fact that
poison taken into the system of the young,
either human or brute, through the milk,
acts so promptly, generally producing dis
order Of the stomach and bowels within a
very few hours. is sufficient proof of the vir
ulence of the poison as well as of the impor-
tance of guarding against such accumula-
tions within the system of the brood SOW
while sucking her young. Dry corn gives
a tendency to feverishness. Two much sour
slops, if the SOW be deba-red from access to
the earth, ashes. charcoal and like sub
stances capable of neutralizing the access OF
acid, will derange digestion. The blood be-
comes impure, and, as stated. these impuri-
ties escape in part into the milk.-Lire Stock
