Notes from Newport

The tradesmen there have in many instances
accumulated fortunes. Batemsn, who kent
the Newport market, has recently retired a
wealthy man. Newport is famed for its ar
tichokes, its grapes, its asparagus and its
roses. Every farmer has hot-house and
grows grapes. In consequence that fruit is
very much cheaper than in New Yerk. You

The most formidable objection vet made
to Dr. Ferrand's cholera incubation theory
consists In the assertion that cholera, so
far ~ Is known. may be taken any mum.
Der Of times. and that consequently inocula-
ton cannot set up any protective changes
in the system. as vaccination does in the
case Of smallpox. Certainly il cholera
can be taken an indefinite number OF times,
rs seems to be the case. incubation could
only act ~ q preventive once. and would
have to be repeated with every fresh APP
pearance of the epidemic. While this OBJ
lection does not OF course disprove the
usefulness of incubation altogether, it
may be questioned whether ii does not
take II out of the category of practical re-
courses against the disease. But apart
from this consideration. 1t is clearly too
soon to form a judgment as to the eflici-
ency Of microbc incubation. What is
shown thus far appears to be simply the
fact that the process results in modified
form of cholera.

WaKeeny Trego county, World: We
have taken pains to make extensive in
quiries concerning the present condition
of the loco plant in this section of Kan
sas. The testimony covers q large region
of country, extending from here to south
of the Arkansas river, and west through
Cove county. There is a general agree
ment in the statement that loco grub
has severed the loco stalks from the
roots, and that the stalks have either
blown or are ready to do 70 when urged
by q favorable breeze. In ct least this
large belt of country, stock is considered
exempt from injury from eating loco thi
fall. Stock will therefore enter the win.
ter in much finer condition than it was
in the outset of last winter. As to what
the fate of the loco is to be for the year
1885, there is, at the present, no unani-
nifty of theory. Some think that the
grub which has cut the stalks thissea-
son is what poisoned the live stock last
year. Others think that the loco stalks
are poisonous, and that the seeds have
ripened, 80 as to send forth . new crop
