ST. LOUIS, March 3l.-Mr. j. j. Hogan,

says the situation is alarming, and that
in his opinion the flood has not reached
the highest notch.
In the Laconia circle, which is sit

heartrending one. This strip of coun-
try is now inundated to depth Of five

numbering 100 to 1900 people, whites
and negroes, women and children, are
perched on housetops and haystacks
and in the trees. Live stock not already
drowned are maintaining precariOus
existence with their owners in some in
stances on the roof of the residences and
elsewhere on improvised platforms OF

cattle. while the human victims are
in scarcely less deplorable condition as

,raryland.s Financial Difficulties.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 3i.-There is
some talk about holding an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature. The present
session ends tonight. The necessity for
the extra session is found in the defal
cation of State Treasurer Archer. The
whole truth of the condition o. his
office i, not known, the committee APP
pointed by the legislature not yet hav
ing been able to discover the total
amount of the populations of Archer.
Besides, Il new treasurer will have to
be elected, and the members of the
general assembly are inclined to fill the
vacancy themselves instead of leaving
the selection to the governor, which
privilege would be his in case the legiS-
lature were not in session. 1t is the
declared purpose of the bondsmen not
to pay a cent OF the amount for which
they became sureties unless after the
exhaustion of all legal methods they
are comDelled to do so.

committeeman" in Il commune
cation printed in the Roanoke Her
aid of yesterday morning, comments
on number of interviews published
in the news columns of the TIMhs of
Saturday. Among other things, he
says:
But | had concluded that Mr.. Mil
ler's resignation as chairman of the
committee last spring to vote with the
Committee of One Hundred had
entirely eliminated him from Demo
cratic municipal Matters
Mr.. Miller's interview in the TIMES.
it will be remembered, was just sucn
q one as any citizen might print. He
said that every Democrat had right
to know whether he is to be "called
upon to fight within the party organ
ization or will be free to run as free
lance" He added, however, that the
was the proper body to
determine that. AS TO other innuen-
does in the communication, Mr.. Miller
said to Il reporter yesterday:
1.-The only thing care to notice in
the card of committeeman" is the
statement that resigned my position
as Chairman of the City Executive
Committee 70 vote with the Commit
tee of One Hundred. | resigned for
no such purpose. My recollection is
that | voted for Messrs. Trout and
Woodward.
My reasons for resigning were given
10 the Executive Committee, and be-
ng both private and professional
we're entirely satisfactory to them.
If Committeeman" Is REALLY a |
of the Executive Committee,
t would be the proper thing for him

THE HILLSIDE Pillow.
Some Facts About PIows OF Interest
to Everybody.

Mr.. j. W. Butler, the general agent
of the Chattanooga Plow Company is
the in city in the interest of his firm.
Mr.. Butler represents one of the
strongest industrial enterprises that
has sprung up in the South of recent
years and it's interests extend through
out the South ard West.
The special reason of Mr.. Buffers
visit at this time is to introduce the
hillside plows of the company, and
he is meeting with gratifying success
everywhere. This pillow is supplied
with many improvements to be found
in no other implement, and is nearer
being complete machine than any
on the market.
By means of a spring latch which
can be released and put in place again
by the foot, there is saving of %
per cent. in labor and time. All other
hillside plows have to be released by
the hands which necessitates much
Mooping and loss of time. 1t is an
innovation in plows and is an I'M
mense success. The best iron and SUI
perior workmanship puts the pillow
ahead of all competitors, and the
price at which it is sold saves the
farmer money.

The result of this is apparent In the

is no other reason beyond this great
competition for business why our
American soft coal should not realize
more money than it does. The

The sugar maple is one of the finest of
the decidnous leaved trees of North Amer
lea. 1t is by far the noblest of the Ameri-
can naples, although the silver maple de-
velops occasionally greater trunk girth,
and it is perhaps the noblest Of all the ma
pies, while the sycamore maple of Eu-
rope in the mountain valleys of the Tyrol is
when at its best, tree second to none of
its class in spread of branches and dignity
Of port But the European maple lacks the
lightuess and brightness of foliage and the
gracefulness Of inforescence peculiar TO the
sugar maple, while it assumes in autumn
none of the brilliant colors which our
American tree takes on at that season of
the year, and which makes it then the most
conspicuous feature Of the landscape

The elm, TO many people, is the charac
teristic tree Of New England because, per

and OF all the northern states, where it is
almost everywhere very common tree
growing on hilsides and in valleys, and OF

The great hog man of the West is Mr.
Theodore Louis He has been lecturing on
the subject of swine and corn raising, in
Wisconsin and Minnesota, ever since the
first institute was held in the former state.
When he first began farming in the Chip
pewa valley, his corn crop averaged only
20 bushels to the acre. Now, by raising
swine and making iudicious application
of the manure, his medium crop is 100
bushels of ears to the acre. He believes in
raising on the farm all the stuff he feeds on
it, and in using on the farm as far as pos
sible, all the raw material which he raises
His strong hold is swine but he thinks
these animals need to be improved This
must be done by intelligent breeding and
feeding. He made an experiment, and is in
the habit of illustrating the results with a
chart. The pigs from one litter were plac-
ed in three separate lots, two in each. One
lot was fed on corn meal alone another
corn meal, bone meal, salt aud rain water
the other on corn meal, charcoal, wood
ashes and salt. He got the best results
from corn meal, bone meal salt and rain
water, and the poorest from corn meal
alone. He wants his hog feed sweet, and
pronounces the ordinary swill barrel poison
GUS 1t is the receptacle of all the house
offal in partially decayed state, and should
never find its way into the stomach of any
animal intended for human food. He
steams his hog food just enough to break
the starch grains, and kills the hogs at the
age of eight or nine months, when their
average weight is 260 to $50 pounds He
believes in lean meat and balances the
carbonaceous material in his corn meal by
something more heterogeneous. His talk and
his practice are based on science as well al
common sense.
