He Cured Them.

A St. Louis County, Missouri, man
gives his experience with the so-called
hog cholera, as follows:
My hogs became infected through a
boar I borrowed from a neighbor. He
sickened, died and was buried. Then
one after the other of my sows, shotes
and pigs took sick, and not knowing what
to do, I consulted my old doctor. He
advised me to dig up some may apple
roots, pokeberry and mullen roots, clean
them, chop them up, put them in large
kettle with plenty of water, and boil them
for several hours. gave the hogs moth.
ing to eat for half day, and then gave
them about pint of the decotion in q
pail of warm slops with little bran. I
repeated this three times a day for a week
or. longer, gradually adding more bran to
the slops. All recovered but one who
could not be induced to drink the slops.
My neighbor, of whom I had borrowed
the boar, lost 40 head, and another
neighbor who took shote home from
my farm where it had struggled and mix
ed with my hogs, lost over 20 head.
Neither of them tried my remedy. I
have not had case of cholera on my
place since. This remedy is so simple
and has proved 80 effective in my case
that I hope you will give it to your read
ers that others may try it, and if it should
prove itself to be a remedy against that
fearful scourge, hog cholera, it should be
made known throughout the whole coun-
fry

Some men never lose their presence

mother-in.law out of window in the
fifth story of q burning building, and
carried a feather.bed downstairs in bis

husband by advertising for him would
propably wait till the second HUSBAND
came after her, if she had to do it ovel
again. Her advertisement was answered
by a Baltimore man, who claimed to bt
a wealthy dry goods merchant, and who
induced her to sell the little home tha
her first husband had left her, and to
entrust him with the money. After she
had done so and gone to Baltimore tc

ow. She is to be pitied, but ahe is OLD
enough to have known better, and she
can still be of great use to the foolish
young members of her sex who are dis
posed to advertise for husbands, by
warming them of their danger. AS the
prospect of getting husband by the
advertising method who is worth his sail
is about equal to that of catching fish
by immcrsing ones arm in muddy
stream to Tue elbow, such warnings ought
not to be needed, but the fact that they
come occasionally shows that they are
needed still.

Appearance of two Pests.

Some days ago DR.. R. A. Crawford,
of Chester, sent to the agricultural de.
partment an insect which he said was
doing great damage to the wheat in that
section, and desired to know its name.
The insect was Immediately sent to Prof.
L. O. Howard, Of the United States en-
tomologicsl commission, who was request
ted to give its name and characteristics.
A reply was received from Prof. Howard
this morning. He pronounced the insect
sent to him to be "the well-known Hes.
sian fly, the most destructive of our nox-
ious insects, next to the Rocky Mountain
locusts, the cotton worm and the chinch
bug. The appearance of this fly was
noted in South Carolina in 1871 and
again in 1882" The Hessian fly attacks
the wheat under the outer she'll of the
stalk near the roots. The remedies for
destroying this fly take several years for
application. The lands infected must be
ploughed up and allowed to remain idle
for some time, and then sheep should be
allowed to run over the fields for several
months.
A letter received at the agricultural
department to-day from Mr.. 81. T. Gra-
ham, of Kingstree, Williamsburg Coun-
ty, encloses bug which Mr.. Graham
says is doing much damage to the corn,
vast numbers having appeared in the
fields in some sections of that county.
This insect was referred to DR.. G. F.
Jackson, who pronounced it to be the
bill bug. In 1870 this bug is reported to
have been very destructive to the grow.
ing corn in the lowlands of the Pee-Dee
River. At that time the United States
entomologist recommended that the farm
ers should examine all unhealthy stalks
of corn in their fields and where insects
we're found to destroy the stalks and pre-
vent the insects from spreading.-Corres.

Fed His Family Oh Dog,

Geo. Baum, g farmer living with his
wife and family few miles from Volca-
no, W. Va, narrowly escaped being
lynched Thursday night, 18th inst, by q
mob of indignant neighbors. The cause
was the outrageous treatment of his wife
aud the feeding of her and the children
on dog flesh. Mrs. Baum is i'll with con-
sumption and her physician prescribed
cod liver oil. Her husband thereupon
killed dog, rendered some Of its fat and
placed it in bottle and took that and
the dressed meat home. His wife took
the grease and soon became very ill.
The dog meat Baum represented to be
mutton and made the children eat it.
As result they we're also taken sick
Some of the neighbors whose suspicious
had been excited followed Baum to the
woods and saw him kill and dress an.

They were on the point of hanging him.
when wiser counsels prevailed, and he
was placed in Jail. His wife and chill
dren are very i'll.

Customs Collection.

Mr.. Fairchild claims to have an eye
single to economy in the public service,
and he proposes to abolish sixty collec-
tors of customs, and consolidate their
districts. He looks only at the present
cost of collecting revenue in the districts
in disfavor, and makes no allowance Tor
their growth in the future. The districts
recommended for abolishment in the
south. and the excess of cost of collec.
tion over each dollar of revenue, are as
follows:
Virginia-Alexandria, cost over rev.
enue, each dollar $1.97; Cherrystone,
$1.94; Petersburg, s0.95; Tappahan-
noch, S1.23; Richmond, S1.27.

More Educated Farmers.
From, The Southern Chltiuator.

think the CaNiuator has often told us
that the old and erroneous idea, that
"any fool can be successful farmer"
has become obsolete and the custom Of
educating all the smart boys for the pro-
fessions, and leaving the dull ones for
the farm, should be no longer practiced.
Industrial schools should be established
for the education of farmers, as we'll as
the other professions. The farmer needs

he should understand the nature and
character of the soil, the manure or fer
tilizers to be applied to it, the effect of
air, sunshine, rain and freezes upon his
land, and the adaptation of crops to con-
genial soils. To do this, he must have
knowledge of geology, mineralogy, agri-
cultural chemistry, philosophy and other
natural and physical sciences. He must
understand the higher mathematics, in
order to be successful in the measure.
meut Of his lands, the capacity of his
hands and tools, the improvement of his
implements, and the value of his pro-
ductions or crops. When times of de.
preston, like the present, come, and
everybody around him is saying, "Cot-
ton is too low to raise it." "Corn, wheat,
oats, iclover, and grass never did bring
any money in this cotton country" and
"It don't pay to farm" he must know
how to successfully battle, by precept
and example, against such specious argu-
ments, and to drive on and not be dis
couraged in his business.
Did not our fathers make money rails
ing cotton at six and seven cents? They
certainly did and grew rich often. "But,"
these grumblers say, "they had slave
labor and fresh land" Free labor since
the war is cheaper, because our fathers
spent more money in raising young
negroes, in the support and care of the
old and in6rm, in clothing, medicines,
etc., than labor now costs, and by the
intelligent use of commercial fertilizers,
our old lands yield more than their fresh
lands. But the great secret is: they
raised all their supplies, and boug ght
nothing to eat, but even sold provisions
every year. Now, let the Southern farm
ers raise not only su6iciency, but little
surplus of the corn, wheat, oats, clover
and grasses that will give them meat,
milk, butter, eggs, and nearly all the
necessaries of life at home; then our
cotton will be a surplus, even at six and
seven cents. By raising our supplies,
we will reduce the cotton crop and there
by improve the quality and price.
Every farmer admits all of this, but still
does not change. They will, however,
and that very soon; for our farmers are
now changing fast, seeding more small
grain, raising more stock, seeding more
clover and grasses, and preparing to plant
more corn. On the other hand, when
times Of prosperity como, and cotton
commands a good price, we become SO
reckless and extravagant that the North

the following appalling story:
Several months ago she became almost
totally blind and deaf. Her bones be-

were swollen and painful, and eventually
her whole body and limbs became GOV.

Her appetite failed, and she gradually
lost flesh and strength, and had but little
use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed.
To the reporter she said: 81 had blood
poison and rheumatism, and before one
bottle of B. B. B. had been taken began

THE NEW YEAR.

The ADVERTISER wishes ats friends,
patrons and opponents a Happy New
Year. It would inculcate spirit OF
charity and forbearance did it not know
that a general election is to come of the
first week in February, and political life
would not be worth living if the Opposi-
ton were debarred from abusing the
Government. We refrain, therefore,
from attempting tosextraet the spice OF

the new year come around and find all
of us Just as we were when the lengthen-
ing shadows of the dying year enyeioped
us, and before the salve of good resoiu-
tions had penetrated head and heart to
vanish with the earliest dawn OF the
glad New Year.
We wish every one Happy New Year
without respect of person or position
We hope they all may enjoy themselves
That there may be no exception to the
rule OF happiness, we propose that the
staff of the ADVERTISER shall enjoy the
New Years festivities to their hearts
content, and to that end We shall reiralr
