Which Involves Two Prominent Roads,
and One in Texas.
New ORLEANS, August pa petition
on behalf of the Queen and Crescent rail-
road system has been in chancery in the
United States court against the Texas and
Pacific Railroad company. The petition
asserts that the International association,
the successors of the Texas Traffic asso-
citation, at meeting held at Chicago on
August z, decided to increase arbitrarily
tae rates, AID 1otified tae Queen and
Crescent system that, unless they con-
formed thereto, their freight from Gin
cinnati to Texas points would be refused
by the roads represented in the associa-
ton. The Queen and Crescent declined
to accede to the demand Of the association,
and as far as the Texas and Pacific
railroad is concerned, filed bill praying
that rule issue requiring the Texas and
Pacific to take freights of the Queen and
Crescent system from Cincinnati and
Texas points. Judge Pardee issued the
order as prayed for to Jno. g. Brown, re-
ceiver.
REDUCTION IN RATES.
ST. LOUIS, August pa reduction of
forty-fve per cent in livestock rates from
Kansas and Indian Territory points has
brought into line the Missouri Pacific
and st. Louis and San Francisco roads to
meet rates adopted by the
Santa Fe and Rock Island.
The Missouri Pacific has followed the
San Francisco rate of $3.50 from Hume
well, 1. T., to Chicago, by putting on a
$50 rate from Kansas points to Chicago,
$25 to Kansas City and $32.50 to St.
Louis. The fight originated between the
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska (Rock
Island and Kansas) and the Santa Fe.
The Sauta Fe stops over. The privilege
granted Texas shippers is claimed to have
been the original cause of the trouble. 1t
is supposed that the Santa Fe carried
10000 head into the territory and has
contracts to carry this immense live ton
mage to market. 1t is expected that all
Kansas and Missouri rates will now be
disrupted.

Shall We Raise Hogs.

A great deal has been said to the farmers at the south to induce them to raise their own supplies. IL is gen erally conceded, by the farmers them selves, that it is much cheaper to pro- duce at home all food crops necessary for farm stock, but il is not SO gener- ally believed that it will pay to raise the meat needed by our labor
 Taking circumstances just as they are, this may, possibly, be true; but naahing circumstances as they should be. would very much change the con dition of thifgs In this, as in every other business, We should seek the best appliances and the most eonven- tent and profitable arrangements. Let us arrange our crops, our pastures and our conveniencics for proper care, and the matter will be successfully settled.
 Our lands and our labor are very much cheaper than in the West. With proper preparation and judicious cul- tiyation, our crops can be produced as cheaplv and as abundantly as at the West, and the capital necessary to bring about the same results is, there fore, very much lessened. In other words. a hog worth in the markets tweaty five dollars, grown upon cheap CT lands, cheaper products and in a more favorable climate will bring larger profit to a Southern farmer than if raised under the conditions neces- sary at the West.
 The mistake we make is the ex- pensive food given to hogs. It is not desirable nor profitable to feed hogs so exclusively corn, as is gener- ally done at the South. Much of this expense will be reduced in good pasture It is astonishing to see how thrifty aud vigorous hogs become on good Bermuda pasture, with very little other food. Such pasture can be greatly increased by sowing red clover, at the proper season with the Ber- muda, and have both grow together. The land must, of course, be well prepared before receiving the clover seed.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Culture of Spanish Peanuts.

The only point of difference between the culture of the ordinary varieties of peanuts and the Spanish so far as we are aware, is due to the smaller size of the plant of the latter, and its upright habit of growth, which permits of much closer planting A few gen. eral remarks will be given, while we would be glad to have more detailed article from some farmer who has had special experience in growing Spanish peanuts for stock.
 The best soil for peanuts is one hay ing a gray surface layer, underlaid by d clay sub-soil, and containing good percentage of lime. If de- fcient in the latter element, lime in some form must be added. Nothing is better than mari; ashes are excel ent: land plaster is good; but no stable manure, cotton seed, or other ammo niated manures should be used, as the peanut plant belongs to the same order with clover Ieguminos9), and, like clover,. requires no ammonia as fer tilizer. The lime seems to be re- quired chiefly in order to make availa- ble to the plant the potash in the soil. Hence We safely conelude-and ex- perience, as well as analysis, sustains the conclusion-that potash is the dominant element required by the pea nut plant. Therefore ashes are good fertilizer
 Whatever variety is planted, great care should be taken to secure perfect ly sound seed. Prepare the land as if for cotton, and at about the same time, putting fertilizers in the opening fur row and bedding in rather low beds. For ordinary kinds, three-foot rows are about the usual distance and twenty four inches apart in the TOW. For Spanish peanuts the rows may be a little closer. and the plants eighteen inches or less. Shell the peanuts by hand, rejecting all shriveled or faulty peas, and taking care not to break the thin skin covering the kernels. Open furrows as if for cotton, drop one seed in a place. and cover not more than one and d half inches. Cotton-planting time is also the time for planting pea nuts. The subsequent cultivation must be such as 10 keep the sur face soil mellow and free from grass. avoiding tearing up the vines when they have sent down the seed stems in to the soil The culture Of the Spanish peanuts very easy owing to its more upright hablt of growth.

does it ever pay to expee. profl,h,. results in grazing the lands usually given to pasture at the South. Select good land, prepare it thoroughly. fer tlllze as far as may be possible. and seed to the grasses already indicated. and the foundation is laid for profita- ble hog-raising.
 In addition to pasture, crops may be grown at little expense and vet brino good profits in furnishing suitable change. Beginning in the early months ot the year with rye, to be followed, successively, with early oats, early peas, the gleanings from the grain helds, later peas, sweet potatoes and ground peas, large numbers of hogs can be grown and the expense, as com pared to the income. scarcely appre- clable. To raise hogs successfully, and at a profit, we have only to get ready for it.
 Inc main reason, I imagine, why farmers dc not give more attention to raising hogs, is the destruction caused b. contagious diseases. This objection can not obtain in any more force with us than at the West. Nebraska, recently, suffered a loss of two million dollars from swine plague, and Iowa nearly as much. h. deed, l know of no section any more exempt from the ravages Of disease than the States at the South. No ad- vantage, therefore, can be claimed over us in this particular The meat We buy has been grown under the same chances for loss as that We raise. After getting pastures and crops ready We must use the best means known to prevent losses from disease. In this connection it may not be amiss to say, that have never lost my hogs from disease, when l gave them turpentine regularly-one teaspoonful to each hog once week. l shall not under take to give the reason for the remedy. l state only the result.
 Possibly the best argument for rais- iag our own supplies is found in the fact that those farmers who live at home, invariably have money, while those who buy what they eat are al- ways financially pressed.
 l can not believe it pays to delay time and waste food on inferior stock. We do not want hogs two years old be- fore they are ready to be slaughtered. Getthe best breeds, such as develop rapidly, push them early, give them good care and constant attention, slaughter at twelve 10 fourteen months, weighing two to three hundred pounds, and you will not regret the trouble of raising your own meat on the farm T..
