GRICULTURAL.
Reported by Prof. A. E. Menke, Director Agricultural De- partment Arkansas Indus
 trial University.
HOG CHOLERA.

As there is very serious out break of this disease in parts of this State we think it advisable to lay before the farmer Prof. Lewis diag nosis and treatment, as his method is generally conceded to be the best.
 Symptoms--Incubation ranges from one to two weeks in cold wealth CT to three days in warm. This is followed by trembling, dullness, prostration, hiding under the litter, unwillingness to rise, hot, dry snout, sunken eyes, unsteady gait behind, impaired or lost appetite, ardent thirst, increased temperature (l03 . to l05o FL and pulse. With the occurrence of heat and soreness of the skin it is suffused with red patches and black spots, the former disappearing on pressure, the latter not. The tongue IS thickly furred, the pulse small, weak and rapid, the breathing accelerated and a hard, dry cough is frequent. Sickness and vomiting may be present, the animal grunts or screams if the be-. ly is handled, the bowels may be costive throughout, but more com monly they become relaxed about the third day and an exhausting, fGtid diarrhGa ensues. Lymph and blood may pass with the dung. Be fore death the patient loses control of the hind limbs, and is often sunk in complete stupor, with muscular trembling, jerking and involuntary motions of the bowels. It is an ex. tremely infectious disease, and the germs are destroyed with great diff ficulty. It is easily developed by faulty feeding and general misman. agement.
 Treatment.-The animals should only be treated in place whe re the air is continuously disInfected. Lew treats as follows: Feed we'll boiled gruel of barley or rye, or in case these raise the fever, corn Btarcf made with boiling water, give tC drink fresh, cool water, slightly acid ulated with sulphuric acid. For the early constipation give a miE& laxa tive (castor oil, rhubarb) and injec tons of warm water. following uE with fever medicine (nltrate of pot ash and bisulphite of soda). If the patient survives the first few days and shows signs of alteration of the bowels (this is usually shown by bloody dung and tender belly) give oil or turpentine, 15 to 20 drops, night and morning. Follow up with tonics and careful soft feed. ing.
 Preyention.-Kill and bury the diseased, thoroughly disinfect all they have come In contact with watch the survivors for the first sign of illness; test all suspicious sub jects by inserting the thermometer in the rectum, separate from the herd if it shows more than 103 degrees, Farenheit, destroying as soon as dis tinct signs of the disease appear. Feed vegetable or animal charcoal, bisulphlte of soda, carbolic acid, or sulphate iron to the healthy, and avoid all suspected places or water which has run near 8 diseased herd. It always pays to isolate newly pur- chased hogs until their health has been proved.
 The following doses can be used: Carbolic acid, 10 drops; blsulphite of soda, 2-4 drachms; sulphate of iron, l2 drachm; castor oil, 5 ounce; rhubarb, l drachm; sulphu TIC acid, 15 drops Tn water.

every interest Of trade, tariff, re-
ligion and race is arrayed against
some other in such bitter and ire
concilable strife that, after patch
ing up platform which is sup
posed to support the weight of the
whole party, there is not q single
man to be found who is light enough
to stand upon it.
There has been some talk of max
ing this campaign of ideas. 1t
might have been so, with great adj
vantage to the Democracy. We
believe, however, that we have no
longer to meet the opposition, even
in debate. While the Republicans
have been wrangling over princi-
pies, and are still quarreling over
candidates, the people, the ordina-
ry workadsy voting people, who
rule the country by rolling up ma
jorities, have forgotten the issues,
mislaid the platforms and cast in
their lot with the party of prompt
decisive action.
Whatever the names of Cleve-
land and Thurman may signify in
the future, they stand to-day Is the
tokens of services and merits which
compelled an immediate and unan-
imous recognition.
The best work is done with .
rapidity born of perfect confidence.
The bungling, shilly-shhllying at
Chicago has lost the Republican
party the slightest chance it ever
had to redeem itself from the in
difference and contempt Of wide
awake voters.

Withdrawing Pbulic Lands in
Louisiana.

N. y. Picayuue.J
The concurrent resolution asking our
Senators snd Representatives in Con-
gress to urge the passage of bill with
drawing the public lands in Louisiana
from sale was yesterday finally passed
and promulgated. Ii the meantime,
pending this action by the Legislature,
Congressman Robertson introduced a
bill to accomplish the object and it
yesterday passed the House. Our adj
vices from Washington also state that
there IL good prospect of the measure
being put through the Senate at once.
This action has not been taken q mo-
ment too soon. Nearly all the public
domain has already been taken up in
large blocks by spectators, aud the
area now left open to settlers who de-
sire to cultivate the soil is reduced to
small proportions. It is true that these
lands recently bought have been taken
up for the timber, and when this is cut
the lands will be on the market at low
rates, bat this opening for settlement
will be delayed many years. In the
meantime large numbers Of small farm
ers are looking in this direction for
homes, and in the absence Of public
lands open to homestead entries they
will 60 to other sections.
