Congress is getting interested in the
prevention Of yellow fever. MIR.
Barnes of Georgia has introduced a
bill in the House offering a reward OF
100000 to any person of any ma
tionality who will discover the true
cause, or germ, of yellow fever, with
any certain means of effecting its pre-
vention, destruction or modification,
or who, without discovering the cause
or germ, shall discover a certain and
practical mode of effecting its proven
ton, destruction or material modltica-
ton.

The Times version also, like the
version printed by the New York
Evening Post in its bogus 'full text"
and like the version circulated by
the Democratic National Committee,
omits altogether the 10th section of
the bill, which is in these terms:
Sec. 40. That all classes of sec
ton 3244 of the revised statutes and
all laws amendatory thereof, and all
other laws which impose any special
taxes upon manufacturers of stills,
retail dealers in liquors, and retail
dealers in malt liquors are hereby
repealed.
The yellow fever is increasing In
Florida from day to day, and APP
pears to be spreading west. Several
cases are recorded at Decatur, Ala
bama, and at Jackson, Miss. There
has been 200 deaths in Jacksonville
and the death rate is from fifteen to
twenty day in that city.

The frosts of the first week in Sep
TENDER were severe, widespread and
very Obstructive, particularly to the
corn crop of all New England and
eastern New York. The ''frost"
was, in its effect upon corn, Deem
Der freeze. The fields in the valleys
of Vermont and New Hampshire show
the marks of a wintry visitation.
The injury to corn-fodder will be Sc
riously felt, but those who have silos
will be able to save the frozen stalks
and utilize them as ensilage. Mr.. l..
T. Hazen, who is well and favor
ably known among the farmers on
both sides of the Connecticut, in
forms the american CultiCdtOr that
his experiments with ensilage made of
frosted corn-stelks have convinced
him that the freezing works no Sc
rious damage to the fodder when
stored in the silo as ensiage. The
CuZtivdtor has similar testimony from
other trustworthy sources, land eXhorts
farmers to employ the advantages of
the silo in preserving part, at least,
of the value of their frost-damaged
crops. The damage to the Maine
farmers, who plant 1000 acres of
sweet corn for the canning factories,
is estimated at $1,000, 900, and it
will, in addition to this loss to the
farmers, seriously diminish the income
of the 5000 employees of the canning
shops. In 1887 the Maine pack of
sweet corn, it is reported, was $780,
600 cases-1S, 100000 cans-or
nearly half the entire national pack.
This crop is the chief reliance of
many Maine farmers for ready cash,
so the loss to them is all the greater.

HAVANA, Sept. 10. The total num-
Der of deaths from the recent cyclone
throughout the island is estimated al
upward of 1000. The damage to
property is beyond computation.
At Cardenas alone property was
destroyed or damaged to the extent
of 81, 100000, and the deaths
amounted to over 100. The greater
part of the fatalities occurred along the
coast extending from Calbarien tc
Matanzas and especially on the keys
near Sagua. Among the residents oil
these small islands the most fearful
scenes occurred. Women and chill
dren (sometimes entire families) per
ished by the dozen. Two mothers
were drowned trying to rescue theil
little ones. Others endeavoring tc
save life were also drowned. Among
the dead recovered at La Isabella d'
Sagua was a mother with her tw'
children still firmly clasped in he
arms. In this situation the bodies
were buried.
A letter from Sagua says that tn
losses in that district amount to SOM
sc, 100000. The deaths in the dis
trict, according to the same letter
amount to several hundreds.

The latest projected feat in civil
engineering is to connect England and
France by bridge, p miles In length,
over which trains can run, and thus do
away with the terrors of the English
channel Another project is to con-
meet England and France by a tunnel,
running from Dover to Calais. tits
found there is a submarine strata of
chalk through which a tunnel could be
cut, and this plan is urged. Either
achievement would be one great in
civil engineering.

SENATOR PLUMB's VIEWS.
Oklahoma Ten Fold too Small II
Opened for Settlement.

Senator p. B. Plumb, of Kansas,
writes as follows to one of his con
stituents residing in the western
portion Of that state
DEAR sIR:-I am duly in receipt
of your favor Of the 18th, and note
your statement rs to what in
your opinion Kansas demands
concerning the opening of oklaho-
ma. Ny own belief has been that
il would be Of great advantage TO
Kansas TO open up Oklahoma.
While il is true we should lose
some population, my belief is that
we would gain very many more.
Oklahoma has been so widely adj
vertised that people would start
for II from every quarter Of the
United States. Probably ten
times as many people would go
there as could find claims. All
tho claims would, in fact, be taken
within Ten days or two weeks.
Those who came later would have
20 buy out those who had gone or
80 elsewhere. Out Of this latter
class I believe Kansas would gain

very largely. II would besides
make n very excellent market for
horses, cattle, hogs, agricultural
implements and supplies Of all
kinds. This would not as favora-
bly affect the western portion of
the state as IL would the eastern
part, still it seems to me that al
together there would be advan-
tage to all sections. l am here,
however, TO serve the interests of
the people of Kansas and accord
ing to their own view as to what
those interests arc.
One thing that is proper to be
taken into account is that in all hu-
man probability no land could be
opened to settlement in the terri
tory for a years time at the near
est. There is a good deal of ma
chinery about the bill pending
which will make delay, and in adj
dition the commission to negotiate
with the Indians is limited to the
payment Of certain sum, which
in my belief the Indians will not
take. While l have been in favor
of having the surplus lands in the
Indian Territory opened for settle
ment, it has not seemed to me
that the measures looking to that
end have been adequately design
ed to accomplish the purpose.

pleasure OF acquiring knowledge
and this is one Of the pleasures
is always TO be possible with the
tiller of the soil. Is your corn
best when planted deep in the
soil, or when put near the surfaceT
Docs the cornfield yield a better
crop when you spread all the ma
nure, or when you put it wholly
or in part, in the hill p? Is this
crop best when you make no hill,
or when your earth is up around
IL? How many hills, or how many
stalks upon the acre, give the
largest amount of grain a.? Is it
best to plant in hills or in drills {?
For potatoes, is it best to spread
all the manure 2 Or will you put
it in hills? If in the hill, will
you have it above or below the
seed 2 Are hills or drills best ?
Do you cut the seed or plant il
whole a? Do you put the seed
deep in the earth, or keep it near
the surface?
Is grass seed best sowed with
grain in the spring2 Or will you
plow the stubble and SOW in Sep
tember2 Or will you seed dowr
to grass with the corn crop? Or
will you simply invert your bound
oat fields, top dress and sow on the
grass seed imm ediately9 Which
of all is the safest, or most prof.
table2 Shall your manure be
plowed down under the sod, or
willyou after plowing, put it on
the surface and harrow it in2 Do
you find the most benefit from it
when you use it fresh from the
barn, or when you let it ferment
and pulverize before it goes to the
field?
These and thousand and one
similar questions are disputable,
and the correct answer to most Of
them you must learn by observa-
ton upon your own lands, and the
lands of your neighbors. Books
and papers upon agriculture are
valuable; they give many correct
general principles and useful hints,
but they were not written with es-
pecial reference to the soil and
subsoil of your farm, and their
teachings need notifications which
your own observations and exper-
fence must point out. If you will
but use your experience and your
common sense in connection with
books, you will find the books val
liable aids, but it is only when you
let what you have seen, qualify
and explain what you read, that
you can profit much by reading.
We come then to the point: The
farm-your own farm-is a place
for study and observation, and
that in order to learn with cor
rectness and satisfaction you must
keep something like a regular
journal in which your doings and
observations must be noted down.
Most men are apt to forget. A
daily record will at all times en-
able you to recall past observa-
tions, and to bring them up to
bear upon your future practice.
Yours, S. NJ. A.

THE MIND ON THE FARM.
An Important Factor Frequently
Unemployed.
skrArOOK, 1. T., March II, isss.


EDITOR CHIEFTAIN: More ex-
ercise of the mind in observing
and rejecting upon the course OF
nature and the process of cultiva-
tion, would be Of vast benefit to
most farmers and their sons.
Some few among them do pass
over their grounds, and along the
roads with their eyes open. The y
notice the adaption of different
crops to different soils; they OBJ
serve the effects of the different
processes OF cultivation. Such
farmers find work for the mind as
well as the body; they thus keep
themselves bright and contented.
The tediousness Of hard labor is
lessened by the activity of the
mind. Nor is the good result con-
fined TO themselves alone. Their
sons and their laborers catch the
same spirit of observation, and re-
Election q they have been created
capable Of such thin gs) and thus
they become more intelligent and
more efficient laborers. The sons
are more contented with home and
with work on the farm.
When the various crops in the
field are made matters of study,
they possess an interest and val
ue distinct from the amount Of
money they may bring in. They
become ones teachers; they give
lessons to be treasured up and used.
And it is only those who seek to
learn and to profit by these lessons
which are furnished by the grow
ing corn and potatoes and fruits
Of various kinds who arc really
intelligent and exemplary farmers.
A few by dint of unwearied toll
from year to year, and by Il soul
pinching parsimony, may get mon
ey, aud this to, without observing
any lessons, except a few brief
ones which were inculcated by
others while they were young.
But those who stick to the old way
through thick and thin, and for no
other reason than that because it
is the old way, are not men and
are not good farmers, they are lit
tie more than brute laborers, who
by dint Of perseverance get some
money, but get little else that is
worth having. | am not ridicul-
ing the old ways, bat am only say
ing that they should be compared
with the new ones, before one can
with any propriety maintain that
they certainly must be the best.
That the old are in very many cas-
es the best, is undoubtedly true;
that the new ways are sometimes
better than the old, is also un-
doubtedly true. II is only by
comparing them that one can sat
isfy himself fairly and properly
which path will lead him most di-
rectly 20 the desired object.
The matters upon which farm
ers and good farmers differ, are SO
numerous that no one can expect
TO settle them all for himself in
one year, or even in life. This is
matter Of rejoicing, for every farm
or may be assured that he can
never exhaust his opportunities
ior learning something now. The
