A BAD WELL.-The deaths of three mem.
bers of Mr. Schilling's family, within 50
short period as that Of their occurrence
recently, prompted Health Officer Dyer to
make an investigation as to the cause. He
concluded that the well might be the source,
and caus ed some of the water to be analysed
The result was the appalling discovery OF
GROSSLY inpureness, resulting from almost
direct drainage Of nameless filth into the
well, which he has ordered filled up.

FARM MISCELLANY.
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
boar l 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. consulted my old doctor.
He advised me to dig up some mayapple
roots. pokeberry and mullen roots clean
them. chop them up, put them in a
large kettle with plenty of water, and
boil them for several hours. | gave the
hogs nothing to eat for half a day and
then gave them about pint Of the de-
coctation in pail Of warm slops with ii
little bran. I repeated this three times
day for week or longer, gradually
adding more bran to the slops All re-
cnyered but one who could not be in.
duced to drink the slops. Ny neigh
Dor, Of whom l borrowed the boar, lost
forty head, and another neighbor who
Cook shote home from my farm where
It had struggled and mixed with my
hogs lost over twenty head. Neither
ID them tried my remedy. 1 have not
had case of cholera on my place since.
This remedy is SO simple and has proved
90 effective in my case that 1 hope you
will give it to your readers that others
may try it, and it it should prove itself
to be q remedy against that fearful
ecou age, hog cholera, it should be made
known throughout the whole country

editorial staff of the Amaerican Agrlcul-

add some Ayershicr cows to his herd of
Jerseys in order to secure the firmness
required in gilt edge print butter.
For general purpose cow the Jersey
does not satisfy our average farmers who
w~nt cattle that pay as urge feeding
steers, and cows that give large guam
titles of milk and make heavy veal
calves. While the Holstein's milk will
not produce as much butter to the
pound as the jerseys milk. yet the i'm.
mense quantity of milk the cow pro-
duces, furnishes more pounds of butter
per COW, than the Jerey herd will do
per cow. Where the dairy man expects
TO sell milk. the Holstein has an i'm.
mense advantage over the Jersey. II
the latter or her offspring has to BE-
turned into beef, the price is far below
the price OF the COW for milk purposes
while the milk COW and the animal fol
the SHAMELESS approximate much more
nearly the same in the large Holsteir
cattle. In view Of these facts we AGAR
ask, would it not prove a paying enter
