Probably Texas Fever.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-A strange malady
has broken out among cattle, particularly
milch cows, in the neighborhoOd just north
of the Union stock yards, and extending to
the Bridgeport slaughter houses in the
southwestern part of the city. The disease
appears to be in all cases fatal 1t is
thought the affected cattle show symptoms
of Texas fever. When the spleen is exam
ined after death it is found swollen to three
times its natural size. The district in
which the disease is confined contains many
patches of open prairie upon which cows
Craze in herds. Texas cattle are frequently
driven into Bridgeport through this district,
and it is believed the disease was caught
from these passing herds.

pleased with the ticket and will vote it
straight. Many liberal Republicans who
oppose prohibition will vote the fusion

Outlook for Florida.

Letters are continually pouring in from
the frozon North, full of complaint be-
cause of the fearful cold, billiards, and
snowbanks. These things are hard for
the young and strong to endure, but
worse for the feeble and aged; and it is
very natural that they should look to the
Sunny South For pleasantness and
sunshine Florida can carry the palm; no
skies SO clear and bright, no air so soft
and healing as the pine-laden breezes
that float among our forest trees. We
do not invite you to see our fields of wav-
ing grain, but to something far more en-
during. Our groves of never-fading
green loom up before you in all direc-
tions. Our fear is not that too many
groves will be put out, but the opposite.
You may plant ten thousand new ones
this winter, and our wants in that direc-
ton is not at all diminished. The glory
of Florida is her orange groves and we
cannot have too many. The corn crop is
often short, the wheat fails, the potato
crop cannot always be depended upon,
peaches fail to produce their usual guam
tity, apple year is every other year, but
the orange crop-when has that failed?
The orange year is every year, and In an
increased ratio. Then the orange can be
depended upon? o, yes, some tire OF
them, more never get enough; no matter
how many we eat to-day, we want more
tomorrow. This fruit is greatly conduc-
i've to health and enjoyment. Let us
have enough OF it, and | am confident
that every foot of orange land planted in
Florida will not supply the want. For
our wants are on the increase in proper
ton to the increased supply. Yes, it is
indeed true that the State offers a more
sure investment for capital than any
other in the Union, and will give the
best returns for the amount invested.
We not only make the statement but
will give satisfactory proof if desired. But
this is only one part OF her worthiness.
Invalids will seek her borders from every
part of the Union; They will come
from every quarter, conae from every
way, . "For all that Inan hath viii he
give for his life,n and we know many a
suffering one has found a sOlace and a
balm in this genial cline, far from the
biting frost and the bitter cold. So we
have no reason to complain, the. outlook
of Florida is bright one, take it from
any standpoint you will. Weknow COM
paratively nothing of it's resources as
yet. But this we do know, it shines
forth as bright, peculiar star in this
constellation, and its brightness will be-
come more visable as its development
progresses, and we see more of its ''true
inwardness." S. l.. REED.

Scientific Miscellany.

INFLUENCE OF HOUSE PLANTs.-Dr. j.
M. Anders has reached the conclusions
that only Towering plants grown in we'll
lighted places, generate ozone and that
the most odorous plants produce the
greatest quantity. The ozone attacks
the organic matter of the air and BY oxi-
dation renders it inert; and DIR. Anders
does not doubt that Towering plants in
clear weather give off enough of this nat
ural purifying agent to be of hygienic
value indoors. Foliage plants, although
Welding no ozone, may be of advantage
in contributing to the maintenance of a
healthful degree of humidityin the atmos-
phere of rooms.
The treeless condition OF parts of the
South American Pampas-of the La
Plata region at least-is attributed by
Mr.. Arthur Nichols to the work of an
omnipresent ant, which feeds upon leaves
and quickly destroys tree-seedlings and
other tenderplants as soon as the leaves
appear above ground. Indian corn grows
freely on these plains, its growth being
so rapid that the insects do not succeed
in completely devouring the young
plants.
The Florida agriculturist., 1885-02-25
Starting Cuttings.

Prof Budd, in the Iowa Homestead,
condemns the storing of cuttings in the
cellar as ordinarily practiced, 'in sand
or earth Just moist enough to preserve
them in condition suitable for grating as
thus they will fail to absorb the requisite
moisture needed for changing the starch
stored in the cell structure into sugar
water, and the base of the cutting instead
of callousing, will be found little black
ened, and the bark and cambium layer at
the extreme basis dead or nearly so. If
these cuttings are put out the upper
buds will start when the requisite heat is
furnished by the sun, and exhaust all the
stored nutriment in the cutting before
show of callousing is exhibited at the
base. On the other hand, if the same
cuttings were packed in sand in corner
of the celler, or in shallow boxes with
the base OF the cuttings upward and
screened from the air by not more than
two inches of sand kept all the time
moderately moist by sprinkling, every
cutting will callous. When planted in
the open air such cuttings will emit roots
before the top buds will make much of
start, and with few failures will make
nice plants before fall. But the CONNER
cial grower should not bother with keep
ing ligenous cuttings in the cellar 1t is
far better to put them in pit in the open
air. Set the bundles upside down in
shallow pit on dry ground, as tightly to-
gether as they can be crowded. Cover
over the top about five inches of earth,
and as it grows cold cover the hole with
fresh horse manure to mainly keep out
frost. AS the sun gains strength in the
spring take off the manure, and rake the
earth fine and even. The sun heat will
finish the callousing of the butts of the
cuttings by the time the ground is ready
to receive them. Treated in this way
the farmer can root the grape, the VIE
CELIA, the tree honeysuckle, several of
the spireas, the catalpa and a greater
number of trees than he might suppose
possible"
