The last yellow fever epidemic that
scourged the southern Atlantic States oc-
cured IN Savannah III 1876. The epidemic
lasted three months and the number of
cases was estimated at 1900 The total
number of deaths was placed at l247, OF
which S13 were whites aud 314 colored
people. Jacksonville is smaller than Sa-
vannah was in 1876, and in proportion to
population the present epidemic in the
first city is much less alarming than
that which occurred twelve years ago in
Savannah. The carelessness engendered
by twelve years of freedom from the dis
ease has doubtless rendered many of the
cities in the Southern Atlantic States

Vermont has responded to the country's
expectations, as she never fails to re- pond
with rousing republican victory. The
significant fact lies in the unusual gains
which the republican ticket has made
throughout the State. Such gains are

invariably voting in the same way is prone
To lUll itself into dangerous confidence
1t is to be explained only in the interest
excited by the great issue of the day, and

One of the most unexpected incidents of
the present campaign is the inquiry of
Mr.. Clevelaud's advocate and defender,
the Boston Hcr0ld, whether the pres dent
showed a proper apprehension of the re.
sponsibilty of his position when he con-
suited Mr.. Brce before sending his retail
alton To Congress, as to whether the docu-
ment would be useful for compaign pur-
poses. "He was not made president of
the United States" says the Herald, 'for
the purpose of helping the democratic
party to win elections" Well lie is Lot
helping it to win elections. The party
will owe its defeat largely to his stolidty
and Indifference to the fulfilmenu Of bis
pledges. He has tried to help his party SO
far as he would be helping himself in SO
doing; but he has made bad mess of it.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they. start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat, and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to
the lungs producing Consumption and

The Committee on Agriculture at
the Texas State Grange reported i'll
part as follows: We recommend
that we plant one-third less acres and
put in the time thus saved in fertiliz-
ing. Plant barley, oats, corn, potatoes
and general variety of vegetables
and plenty of sorghum for feed and
syrup; then the balance in cotton.
Raise hogs calves, milk and butter
and fowls. Secure plenty of feed and
shelter-shelter certain though it be
of cheap materials. Work to secure
better stock of all kinds. Then study
their nature and work to make them
comfortable. 1t pays to feed well
from the beginning. Good stock
natures earlier for profit in milk, but
ter, and beef or pork. In other words
to make our living at home. Then if
we have surplus put it in market
able shape and offer for sale. 1t pays
to put all products in neat shape to
sell well-just as the merchant ar
ranges his goods attractively to sell
Let us learn to market in wholesale
and retail To condense and conclude:
We say fewer acres, better worked;
fewer heads of stock better fed; fewer
purchases, but in bulk and for cash.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

NOTES FOR FARMERS.-Sheepm may
not require such constant care as
some other animals, but they will run
down if neglected.
Sixty-ive Nelson blackberries are
said by the Benton Harbor Palladium
to have filled quart box.
1t is said that in Dakota and Mon
tana, the expense Of keeping sheep
yearly is only thirty cents per head.
A dairyman in Denmark who keeps
$50 cows insists that his mixers wash
their hand after milking two cows.
Quite as much is due to the treat
ment of the COW as to her hereditary
traits. in estimating her better quail
ties.
Be cautious, but do not fear to take
risks where success seems likely to
follow. Otherwise stagnation will
ensue.
A single sheep owner in Australia
has four hundred thousand sheep.
Another man owns three hundred
thousand.
One hundred and seventy-five
pounds of honey were taken from a
single colony of Italian bees by an
apiarist at Atlanta, Georgia, this sea-
son.
While the farmer is gathering his
best crops, the crop of seeds is caring
for itself, and it will show results in
the spring.
The salary of the United States
Commissioner of Agriculture has just
been increased from four to five thous-
and dollars.
The cases of Texas fever in Gales
burg, Illinois, are said to have been
caused by pasturing cattle too near
the railroad track.
When the horse SHES at some OBJ
ject do not whip him. Help him to
stand and show him the folly of his
fear.
Do not be content with inferior
hired help. When you have succeed
ed in securing it, keep it ar any price.
All other help is dear.
A collie properly trained is valua
BILE dog about farm, yet without
training he is a miserable beast at
home, and abroad a genuine nui-
sance.
There are said to be in Indiana
more than fifty Jersey cows with rec
ords of from fourteen to twenty-four
pounds, eleven ounces of butter in
seven days.
As soon as the leaves fall from
grape vines they may be trimmed.
The trimming may be done at any
time afterwards until the sap flows
next spring.
The farmers should demand that
the roads of the town they live in be
thoroughly repaired before the storms
of winter make it impossible to do

EGG CUSTARD.-Mix carefully the
yolk of two and the whites Of one
egg with a gill of stock for each GUS
tard. Pour this mixture into cup or
a small jam-pot, tie a piece OF paper
over it and steam it for quarter Of
an hour Turn out and serve with
good gravy thickened or tomato sauce.
There should be a shape for each

made of rich-game stock, and seryed
with the same stock, freed from fat
and nicely thickened.
