CramD in Fowls.

This is a disease to which chickens
about six or eight weeks old are very
subject, and it is chiefly due to damp
ness, as it is found mostly in birds reared
on clay soil. By giving very dry coops
and plenty Of fine, dry soil or ashes in
the house and sheds much can be done
to prevent the disease. Birds affected
by this trouble first begin to show cramp
in the feet, and the toes curl up so that
they cannot spread them out. Then the
whole leg is affected and they walk upon
their ankles. Apparently they are other
wise in good health and eat as heartily
as when entirely right. The first sign is
a little lameness in walking. and as soon
as this IS noticed they should be removed
to a dry boarded floor covered with
straw, and kept there until better. AS
curative, fOment the legs well with not
water, and if the birds are large enough.
put stri ps of flannel as bandages around
the legs and feet If this does not
speedily effect cure, rub the legs with
turpentine and put near warm fire at
night The food will need to be good
and stimulating. The birds should be
dealt with before they are seriously af-
fected, hence the necessity for keeping a
constant watch upon all the stock.-CuL

FARM AND GARDEN.
Bran as a Fertilizer.

Upon a poor ridge planted with pota-
toes, writes Waldo Brown in the Phila-
delphia Press, 1 applied handful of bran
TO each hill in alternate rows, dropping it
directly on the seed. When the rows
without bran were eight inches high the
others were foot high, and the differ
ence in growth was noticeable all sum-
mer. I weighed each row as dug, and
found fifty per cent, more potatoes in the
rows to which bran had been applied,
and a much larger per cent. of market
able tubers. prepared the bran by mix
Ing it with an equal bulk Of rich loam
then moistened it, allowed it to heat,
turned, mixed thoroughly and spread it
out until the heat snbsided, when it was
we'll decomposed. A friend of mine APP
piled dry bran in the same way, and the
seed was destroyed wherever it came in
contact with the bran.

breeder and feeder. But it is no trouble
at all to figure out the profit or loss of
profit of a bushel of corn that is wasted
The herd should be carefully watched all
through the fattening period. The rule
SO often laid down by the Rt7Gl and Stick
man we again state: Do MT feed too
heavily when the fatteIing process IS be-
gun. and, by the way. that ought TO have
been begun, and generally has been before
this time Feed lightly at first and gradu-
ally increase the amount: and when the
hogs have become accustomed to full
feed, feed them all they Will eat and no
more. Give them good, clean food, and
feed on a clean floor. Never act upon
the notion that the hog IS naturally
filthy. The animal will eat flth, but it
likes clean food as well as any animal. -

Enemies of the Peach Tree.

The worst enemies of the peach are the
yellOws and the Peach BOrer (HZgeria
exitosa). The only effectual radiance
of the former is to destroy the tree, root
and branch, and burn it as soon as the
enemy makes its appearance in the orch
ard. Various remedies have been pro-
posed, but there seems to be no substitute
for eradication. The borer begins it's
depredations early in the summer and
continues them during the season, and if
the tree attacked is not disturbed until
October the little white worms Matched
from the eggs Will be found Of all sizes
from the sixteenth of an inch to a half
inch or more. 1t continues in this state
until the early days of summer when 1T
comes out in the winged state. Under
this last form the insect is a slender,
dark blue, four winged moth, having a
slight resemblance to a wasp or ichneu-
mon fly. They may be seen in almost
any garden where peaches are grown. The
moths lay their eggs at the collar Of the
tree, little below the surface of the soil.
If not taken in hand, and persstentIy
hunted to death, they will, in a few
years, destroy the best peach orchard. 1t
is a good deal of trouble to destroy them
by the most ehectual remedy-digging
away the soil from the collar of the tree,
and, on Bonded knees, with sharp pointed
knife and wire, scraping away the saw
dust and gum from the wounded bark,
and impaling the enemy. This should
be done several times in the course of
the season, especially in June and Octo-
Der. When this is done thoroughly, the
wounds inflicted by the worms are soon
healed by the growth of the tree, and its
life is prolonged. If neglected the tree
is girdled and it soon dies. 1t is a
great safeguard against the attacks of
the moths to fasten a strip of sheathing
paper or other covering around the
cleansed trunk, extending two inches
below the surface of the ground to a
foot above. --An1ericaza Agricutturist.

Feeding Hogs.

1t is the fact that it is as productive
of evil results to feed swine too much as
1t is to feed them too little. Some peO-
pie seem to entertain the idea that the
only purpose to be sought in fattening
animals o. in feeding them for growth is
to stuff them, though a moment of
thought will show plainly enough that
stuffing means a decentralization of the di-
gestive apparatus. 1t is a rule often laid
down, and it is a good one, that aGimSls
should never be fed more than they will
eat up clean; and if feeding always re-
ceived the attention that it should, that
would always be the plan. But our i'm
perfect ideas and systems are very apt to
be the result of thoughtlessness. Start
ing with the idea that corn makes fat,
and that the more corn we feed the more
fat we will get, we shovel the corn before
the hog and let it gorge itself. 1t is true
That the more corn we iced the
more fat we will have, provided the di-
geStlve functions take care of 1t. Ii they
do not, the stomach is overloaded, and
an overloaded stomach means trouble to
greater or less degree. 1t is to prevent
this that we should always aim, whether
We are feeding for fat or bone and mus
Gle. Profit in meat production means
economy in feeding. If we lose an ear
of corn either by having it trod under
foot and into the dirt in consequence of
feeding more than the hogs will eat, or
if we waste it by overlooking the stom-
ach, destroying or impairing digestion,
and thus preventing the system from
utilizing what is consumed, it is so
much OFT the profit, and while one ear
OF corn may not amount to much a
good many ears amount to a great
deal. Columns have been written
to show how the price of corn may
be raised by feeding swine, and it Is
always interesting reading 20 the swine

DISCUSSING the probability of sCol." T. J. Andrews of Cleburne county becoming candidate for congress in the second district on the union labor ticket, the White County Wheel, organ of the Wheel organization in White county, pro- tests against it in the following forclble and significant language:
 Don't do It Col. At 6 meeting of the 2nd Congressional Wheel, land your county was represented, ) Hon. c. K. BRECKENRIDGE was en. dorsed as a suitable man for the place, although the delegate from your county objected, the majority ruled. You went into that conven. tion and as 8 wheeler, free Amer ican citizen you are bound by all honorable ties to support the nom inee. Democracy is to let the ma jority rule, and we are all democrats. The people of the 2nd congressional district are well satisfied with the representative that we have there now, and besides they can't afford tc endorse the pension and women suf- frage blanks of the National Union Labor Platform Come over and help us elect the best man we evel had in Congress Hon. c. R. Breck :nridge."

TIE organ of the Wheel organiza


 THE organ of the Wheel organiza tioD Tn White county, the White county Wheel, published at Searcy, carries Hon. c. R. Breckinridge's name at it's masthead and gives him hearty support. Of his course the editor publishes the following de- fense which must be conceded as tenable and commendable:
 "It may possibly be thought by some that because now we support Hon. c. R. BRECKENRIDGE, that we are taking back water, but such IS not the case, for while we advocated the Union Labor State ticket, we were only carrying out the instruc tions of the wheel of which our pa per is the official organ, and in sup porting Mr. Breckinridge for con gress inAhis the 2nd district, we are still carrying out the instructions of that body and living square up to wheel principles, that is, "the best man for office, regardless of party" And besides that, Mir. Breckinridge endorses the wheel demands and ad- mits that they are democratic. How much more could we ask. This is for the present. As for the future, we will do whatever we believe IS for the interest of the laboring people and it makes DO difference who says we are pertidous stringent hypocrit- es or who says we are republican radical rascal or Arab, or who calls us mongrel combined conglomerat- ed fraud. They can never deviate us from our Conceptions of right or prevent us from proclaiming our honest opinions. In supporting Hr. Breckinridge not only are we sus. tained by the action of the Wheel but such policy is in perfect ac- cord with our own individual prefer ence. Therefore we cheerfully rec ommend MT. Breckinridge to the vo- ters of the wheel. hoping that those who can consistently do so, will give him hearty endorsement in Novem' Der.
The Russellville Democrat., 1888-09-27

UNION labor and republican news papers animadvert unceasingly upon the theft of poll books in Pulaski county and alleged democratic out. rages in Lafayette, Lee, Misslssippl and other counties, but they stu diously avoid reference to republican outrages in Arkansas and St Fran. cis counties, which for depth of vii liany and strocity amply sustain the reputation of the republican party made during the reconstruction per. iod. It makes a deal of difference it seems to some journals whose OK is gored.

 THERE may be those who will not believe it, but the official figures bear us out in the statement that the republicans have been growing lusti, ly over & democratic victory Tn Maine. Here are the figures: Re- publican plurality in 1884, 19,S51; in 1888, 1s,495. republican loss on plurality 1856. Republican increase on total vote of 1884, 69I; democrat ic increase on total vote of 1884, g. 047. If the reduction of the repub- lican plurality 1856 votes and the democratic increase in the total vote of nearly three to one isn't demo- cratic victory, then what would you call 1t?
