1t is to be regretted that larger and
better hotel accommodations are not
afforded at Minnekata Hot Springs
whereby many in this locality, and in
the states desirous Of testing the virtues
of the medicinal waters, but who are
now practically debarred, could avail
themselves of the privilege. With am
pie accommodations there is no doubt
that Hot Springs would soon become a
great national as we'll as local resort, for
in addition to its attraction as sanitari.

drives, opportunities for hunting game
Of all kinds, its unrivalled surroundings
for the student Of nature and much else
to render summer vacation pleasant

The Germs of Fever.

| have recently had the opportunity OF
learning, on the sroi, TIN full particulars
of case in which four membera Of one
household were last yeNr attacked with
TYPHOID fever, one OF them narrowly escap-
ing with her life, under circumstances
which left no doubt IN the mind OF The
very accomplished physician who bad
charge OF the patients tina the malady
originated Ia the opening Of an old cess
pool belonging 10 neigbboring house,
aud IN course Of demolition. The house
in which the outbreak took place 10
large and airy, and Stands by itself in
most sslubrious situation. The most
careful examination failed 10 disclo'e any
defect either In its drainage or its water
supply; there was no typhoid In the neigh
horhood aud the milk supply was unex-
cept.ona-lo. But the neighborlng house
being old, and having been occupied by u
school. its removal had heen determined on
10 make way for a house OF higher Glass;
and as the offensive odor emaueting from
the uncovered cess.pool was MT oJce per.
ceved In the next garden, and the outbreak
oftyphoi1 followed NJ the usual interval,
the case seems one which admits Of no rea.
eonable question.
Ga thu whole then, the conclusion eeems
clear that while the breeding ground OF the
ordnsry exanthemata is the human body
alone, there is an intermediate class OF pes
tllential diseases, Including cholers, ty-
phoid aud probably yellow fever. in which

SOME RAILWAY TALK.

An lei Paso special published in the
HERALD yesterday, stated that a number
Of Bost on directors OF the Mexican Central
railway left that city Saturday night en-
rout, 10 the City OF Mexico. A number Of
capitalists OF New York city accompany
the directors, and the purpose is TO remain
ia the capital city OF the sister republic
with view of being present at the formal
0upaipg q The above named railway, which
will occur next Saturday, the 10th instant.
Il will be grand festival day in the Next
can capitol, this railway opening, and the
method of celebration will be characteristic
of tho liGht.hearted azSecs. The opening
Of this route is a proper occasion for re-
ioicing on the part OF both nations, but lisa
matter OF grave apprehension on me part
OF the old-.lms msrohanta OF the City OF
Mexico. By means of This communication
oponed between the northern andsthe CEN
trsl states Of Mexico and the great western
citie, of the United States, millions OF dol
lars worth OF trade will be torn mp by time

aud Chicago. Tho planters, miners and
stockmen OF the states OF Mexico traversed
bv the great Central railway will, no longer
buy goods at their accustomed market
when markets so much better are brought
near to hand by tAe-elmighty locomotive.
But this lie only the first blow the
hammer of progress has struck at
the commercial importance OF the
metropols OF Mexico. Other rail-
way companies are building bridges
across the Rio Grande at points below Ell

When to Sell Farm Products.


Breeders Gazette
When to sell farm products is problem often
difficult to satisfactory solve. No one of us is
wise enough to certainly predict the course of
the markets, 50 that holding for an advance in
prices is sometimes dangerous expedient. Thus
there are many reasons for believing that corn
must advance in price. 1t is not often that there
are clearer indications of the course of prices
than. now seen to be presented to us concerning
the corn crop but it does not necessarily follow
that it will be the wiser course to hold the corn
crop. 1t is not positively known that the price
will greatly advance. 1t is almost certainly true
that there will be considerable loss in weight by
shrinkage, with possible loss from wastage, theft
or fire Money may be badly needed now, and it
is not often advisable to borrow money when
we have farm products ready for the market
AS regards live stock other elements come in.
1t is almost impossible to lay down any general
rule concerning time for sale of breeding stock.
Generally, we believe it is advisable to sell fat
animals when they are well ripened. The cost
of further feeding often more than counter
balances any advance in price. Especially is
this true of fat animals in the fall. Oftentimes
little gain is made, even through weeks of full
feed Just after winter has set in. Even if the
weather be favorable it is true that it takes more
time and more food to add given number of
pounds to- nearly rpened animal than to one
that is only in medium flesh There is room for
sound Judgment and careful consideration in de
ciding the sale of any crop, whether vegetable
or animal
