Applying Manures.
Atlanta, Ga. Southern Cultivator.

Atlanta, Ga. Southern Cultivator.
AS manures made on the farm
are Of very unequal values, they
should be thoroughly mixed togethe
er before applying to the land or
to the crops; that is, in other words
the manures should be composted
together. Some manures are very
rich in one element and some in
Others, and, for the most part, the
richer the elements contained the
less bulky they are, as, for instance,
hen manure; and, on the contrary.
the more bulky the less value in
fertility. And it is difficult to app
ply the less bulky, rich mpnures
economically to land; hence it is
advisable to compost them with the
more bulky, such as barnyard ma
nures. The rich elements will soon
leaven the entire heap, and thus
the richer manure can be evenly
distributed over a larger surface
than it could be if in smaller bulk;
otherwise, too, the poorest manure
might be cast upon the poorest
land, where the richest is needed
As to applying the manure in
the hill, this method, we think
agreeable to our own experience, is
not safe as a general rule. 1t is
better that the manure used on all
crops should be thoroughly mixed
with the soil rather than in the
hill, especially if in quantity or in
Jumps, for it soon dries out when
the rains stop, then it Injuries rath
er than benefits the crop, And be
sides, some manures are too strone
TOR young plants. They do moi
need SO much nouri8hment at tn,
start; but when they have attained
considerable size, and have sen
out roots all through the soil, ther

ance, and if it has been thorough,

case Of hog cholera Inc Nebr
rsska Farmer gives these twelve
rules:
4 If an outbreak exists to re,
move al absolutely we'll hogs, as
fer as the eve can see, to a new
pen, on rev land whore there has
never been any disease and leave
the sick or suspiciously aiIing ones
in the old pen.
2. To watch most carefully at
every feeding time the hogs remov
cd and at once cut out every
animal that does not 600 for his
feed like a hog or which betrays
the Slightest weakness in the moves
nent.
3. To have a person take care
o. these hogs who does not 90 near
to or have anything to do with the
sick ones.
4. Not to allow the farm dog to
run about free.
5. Place the new pors at such
a distance from the home buildings
and old grounds where the sick
hogs are that the hens ,annot pass
from one to the other.
6. Never put new hogs into
places where hogs have been sick
or died if you can IN any way proo
vide new quarters, and on no ac-
count put them in such places un-
der two years from the time when
such hog, have all dicd or been
sold, and then only when the bot
tom boards of such pens have been
removed and burned and the earth
under them dug out fer IS inches,
as well as that of the grounds, and
drawn and spread loosely over the
earth outside of the pen, the place
being filed up by new and fresh
earth from another part of TIE
farm.
Z Remember this, the pen and
each of the yards, all hay orsrtw
attacks aud such refuse are places
which protect and preserve the
cause OF hog cholera, and that the
removal Of every hog that has be-
longet to a herd that has been af>
fected is no means Of prevention or
protection from another outbreak
on the same grounds.
8. Never place hog pens or
runs near running water that comes
to you from or outside of your own
land. Water your hogs from the
well.
8. Never bury your sick hogs
along the banks of q running
stream because it ia easier TO shovel
the dirt upon them from the bank
than to dig hole and bury them.
10. Burn them when possible.
II. Don't sell sick or exposed
hogs to your neighbors. This is a
civil crime, ifnot against the ani~
nal diiease laws of the State.
II. Be watchful, careful and
diligent and you can control hog
cholera.

Ieprosy in the Land.

4 few years ago leprosy was consid-
cred one of the impossible diseases in this
land 1t was held to be a peculiar devel-
Opment Of unsanitary conditions incident
to long past ages. 1t was, TO be sure,
known that in Africa, and possibly
among the Chinese, leprosy still fingered.
But now it has fairly located itself in
America and is one more evil that may
reach enormous proportions. DR.. Allen,
in the New York Medical Journal, con
cludes: 20 Leprosy has existed in this
country to some extent for twenty years;
(2) the tendency is for the disease to in
crease. not only from immigration, but
from sporadic cases; 90 it is contagious
disease, and may also be transmitted from
parent to offspring; a. tra',- mission takes
place in some cases by incubation; (5)
segregation has been proved to be the
only sure means of freeing a country
from its ravages; (G) it is the duty OF
the government to establish leprosv hos
pitals or isolated settlements for the treat
ment Of the afflicted. Globe Demo
