LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 21.-The
Arkansas river has passed the great rise
of 1914 by more than foot. It is at
this hour, "a. m., stationary and will
begin falling in a few hours. No dam
age has been done the city proper, but at
North Little Rock great uneasiness has
been felt and considerable damage done.
The first heavy loss, that Of the
caving in Of the north banks a few
hundred yards east of the wagon bridge,
has bean followed by the collapsing of
the Elite Lumber company's mill, valued
at $4,000, and Of the Cooperage COM
pany's building.
at Redfeld, twenty miles from here,
huge blocks of bank have been falling
into the river. Standing close to the
shore on section of the bank which
thus suddenly melted away, five persons,
names unknown, were precipitated in
the torrent and drowned, the bodies not
beirg recovered. A report from Red
field ut midnight states that in all
twenty-five to thirty persons have been
drowned there in the last twelve hours.

Foraker is a busy man. A runor had
gone abroad that he was to make a
speech in the Minneapolis convention
nominating James G. Blaine for the
presidency, and his door bell was kept
ringing every five minutes by reporters
who called for information on the SUBJ
ject. He said:
Il do not know anything about any
such report and have never said would
nominate MI. Blaine Then, thinking a
moment, as if not content to leave the
matter in such an unsatisfactory state,
he added: Il have said, however, that
in my Judgment Mr. Blaine should be
nominated and it is my opinion that he
will be nominated" Notwithstanding
his halfway denial everybody finds it
easy to believe the rumor.

THE SIOUX CITY DISASTER.
a Terrible Tale of Destruction and Dan,

a Terrible Tale OF OBSTRUCTION and DAM
age rold by Rcceding Waters.
Sioux CITY. L.. May a0.-The scene
which is disclosed by the recession of the
hood is one which beggars description.
Throughout the flooded district it is one
story OF destruction and damage. The
number drowned cannot be very accu-
rately estimated. 1t is now placed at
about fifty, and those who have been
working i'll the district say that any
variation will increase this number.
Not over dozen have been recovered,
and it will be days before the correct
number can be known. The list of miss
ing is still large and about 100 people are
not accounted for.
The flood at its height extended from
Court street to the Floyd bluffs and from
the suburb of Linn to the Missouri river.
This comprises district four miles long
and a mile and half wide. For dis
tance of a mile and half above the
mouth of the Floyd the bottom is dense
ly populated. A large portion of the i'll
habitants are poor people who are en-
ployes of the packing houses, railroads,
etc. There are a great many retail shops
throughout this region. At the height
of the flood the current struck straight
through the residence streets. Among
! 3 nearest to the river, scores of
Gngs
Were Swept from Foundations
and carried long distances and either
| smashed or turned bottom side up. Many
two-story buildings We're swept away.
The buildings which are twisted Or car
ried short distances are innumerable. 1t
must be remembered that over all this
area for six or eight blocks from the
river the water was far above the second
story with swift current
and the wind blowing hur-
ricane. Everywhere fences, outhouses,
sidewalks. wooden pavement, railroad
ties and timbers and lumber yard debris
are scattered about among the contorted
and overturned dwellings.
The city is the heaviest loser. Sewers,
paving, water pipes and curbing must
be put in new in large part of the city.
The council has decided to begin the
work on an extensive scale at once and
employment will be given every labor
ing man in the city.

Temperance and Dancing.

OMAHA, May 24.-Bis.op Hinde pre-
sided over the day'ssession of the general
Methodist conference. The report of the
committee on the state of the church
toward dancing and other worldly
amusements, was filed with the secre-
tary. The committee does not agree.
The majority recommends that it be-
lieves that there is no sufficient reason
for making the proposed change. The
minority of eleven desire to eliminate the
present penalty which provides expulsion
for those who disobey the present dis
| cipline relating to dancing, theater-
going, horse racing, etc., and allow
church members to decide for themselves
whether they desire to so amuse them
selves, there being no penalty to hang
over their heads.
! Committee on temperance and prohi,
b!t:on submitted its report, which calls
upon the people to use their power OF
ballot to defeat any party which Grim
inally allies itself with the liquor inter-
crest by licensing the manufacture of
spirits. After considerable discussion
the report was adopted.

Treatment, OF Cows.

From the position of the pig in the
husbandry of Ireland, it would be "a
tional to conclude that the people OF
that country are well versed in the
best ways of porcine treatment. AS in
dicative of this we append an extract
taken from Farmers Gazette of Dub
lin i'll which an Irish breeder describes
his mode of treatment of the SOW as
follows:
One of my herds-men is with the pig
when she farrOWS, and as each little
pig is born, it is taken by him and put
into Il wooden box or basket in which
there is an old blanket Rolled up in
the blanket, the pigs are kept until the
entire litter is born. When the litter
is complete, and the SOW quiet again,
the pigs are restored to her, and she
generally takes to them at once and
allows the attendant to put them to
her papS to suck. We make it Il spec
ial rule to have a man looking after
the SOW, night and day, for two days
after the litter is born. My pigmen
take it in turns, and they seem to like
it rather than not. We rarely lose a
pig through the SOW crushing it or the
like. The attendant must be good-telrl-
pCred and patient. The SOW should
not be allowed very much food for at
least "a hours after she has narrowed,
but she can get a drink of thin bran
mash five or six hours after plugging,
and another in the same time again,
and so on; but no really solid food
should be given her for five or six
days. About tWenty-four hours after
narrowing, the SOW should De allowed
out in the open air to stretch her legs
for a few minutes, at which time, if
the weather is at I'LL cold, it is desirable
that the attendant should put u blan
ket over the young pigs, or otherwise
cover them with clean straw until the
return of the mother. Let the SOW
exercise time be extended gradually as
the litter gets stronger In severe
weather very great Precautions have
to be taken, more particularly with
first HtterS, against cold; and for this
purpose we may mention that build
ings which are matched are much bet
ter for narrowing sites than any other,
as in the winter they seem to keep
out the cold. The doors and windows
should be put in tightly, ard in fact,
everything should be done to keep the
sly warm; else the litter are liable to
die Of cold. For this reason I always
advocate that no gilt should have her
litter before the first of March, so as
to ensure fine weather when the young
pigs are beginning to run about. On
no account get into the habit of feed
ing the sow in the same sty as her
litter. If you do, the little ones will
very soon begin to pick up bits of food
from the sow's mess, and as they
should be living entirely upon the
soW's milk, such indigestible food as
her mess would consist OF is bound to
disagree with them, and probably give
them scour. This is a piece of know
ledge for which I had to pay very
dearly before I discovered it,

\ Warming Against Wet Hay.

The Hay Trade Journal has the fol-
lowing TO say to farmers and others
interested in shipping hay to market:
The damage to bdled hay from be-
coming wet while being brought to
market from the farm does not seem
to have been fully measured; especial
" by the farmer who will say that
the weather was clear when he left
home, he had but slight shower
Willie on the road, and only the top
tier of bales are little wet, but not
enough to injure them. This may be
true from his point of view, as probab-
~ the water has not penetrated the
bale TO exceed a quarter of an inch.
which would quickly dry off and not
njure its feeding qualities. The deal
er receiving the wet hay will revolve
the question Of what is best to do over
in his mind several times and finally
decide that it was the fault of no one
but the rlinmaker, and then load the
hay INTO car or store-house, where it
may come in contact with goods that
have come in in good order and pos
slbly from the same farm. These goods
