A MENACE To HEALTH.

There is a menace to the health
of Texarkana that we feel it our
duty to speak of and condemn. We
refer to the sewerage dumped into
the Deutschman canal, through
four or five sewers, right in the
heart of the city on the West side,
Along the sides Of this creek or
branch are residences, on both sides
thereof, and Il hundred yards so on
Rose Hill and in the city proper are
hundreds of nice residences that
will, sooner or later suffer from the
sewer gas and bad odors to arise.
In fact a breeze from the South
west, or the west, viii carry these
disease laden odors Hover the city.
Every sane man knows that sewer
should not be emptied right in the
heart OF any city.
We would suggest that as a rem
edy, a sewer main be constructed
Just east of the Deutschman Canal,
down said canal for a half mile or
more, into which all Of these sew
ers from the city may empty Gn-
stead Of into the crceO and thus
all sewerage be conducted away to
a safe dumping ground.
We write this in no carpiug or
FAULT finding spirit, but for the pub
lie good
The East side now has a good
sewerage system, now let the West
side follow suit.

Smuggling.

1t is curious to see how many good
people engage in smuggling with an
ease of conscience that is astonishing.
Good church members would feel that
they were unredeemed indeed and
willful partners in the fall" if they
took small red apple from the fruit
stand. They wrestle nightly with a
temptation to use postage stamp
from friends desk when guest in
the house and given the freedom of
the desk for correspondence. They
might use costly stationery al libitum
and split gold pen without a qualm
of conscience but where is the man
or woman of everyday respectability
who would fail to produce two copper
cents and offer il on the shrine of con-
science for using postage stamp?
Yet these same good folk tender-souled
in other matters, will smuggle with
alacrity, and cheat, and lie, and swim
die Uncle Sam with smiling light
heartedness that is inexplicable.

proaches her wharf TIE passengers APP
pear, one by one, before the officers of
the United States government to ask
and answer questions concerning the
contents of their trunks. The ques-
tions are simple, the amount of goods
allowed by law not altogether mig
gardly, yet hundreds and thousands of
people lie with the greatest facility,
conceal costly dutiable purchases and
openly bribe the customs officers.
"None of the big people who come
home let those horrid officers go
through their trunks and tumble up
their things. Just give any ono of
them SO and you cin have your trunk
sent up to your hotel untouched, and
you need not walt for it, either"
This frank statement on the part of
n traveller is an example of the atti-
tude often taken. But there are still
some people who recognize the old
fashioned principle that law is n
law, that to evade it is criminal, and
"slip bill into customs officers
hand" is corruption of ones self and
bribery of the man. Boston Tran

THE DUCK AND THE HEN.

The question is repeatedly asked,
(which is the more profitable, the
duck or the hen?" In order to decide
this matter nm enterprising poultry
man, p. II. Jacobs, Hamilton, N. j..
made test. The result is reported
as follows:
At week old the duckling weighed
four ounces, while the chick only
reached two ounces. At two weeks
old the duckling reached nine ounces,
and the chick four ounces At
three weeks, duckling one pound;
chick, six and n quarter ounces. At
four weeks, duckling one pound and
nine ounces; chick, ten ounces. At
five weeks, duckling two pounds and
two ounces; chick, fourteen ounces.
At six weeks old, duckling, two pounds
and eleven ounces; chick, one pound
and two and half ounces. At seven
weeks old, duckling, three pounds and
five ounces; chick, one pound and
seven and half ounces. At eight
weeks old, duckling, four pounds;
chick, one pound and twelve ounces;
At nine weeks old, duckling, four
pounds and eight ounces; chick, two
pounds.
SO it can be seen that the same time
weight of the chick was doubled by
that of the duck. The prices for
dressed carcasses run very close to
each other, SO that the increased price
per pound makes the profits on the
duck greater, although it takes about
twice the amount of food to grow
them. Poultry Keeper.

The Boston Cultivator observes:
The year 1895 will be known as the
year of the most valuable corn crop
ever produced. 1t is estimated by the
Department of Agriculture ut $500,
900, 900 bushels, and worth nearly one
thousand million dollars. Last years
crop was unusually small, and was
worth only S4OO, 900, 900. The crop
this year was grown on $4,000, 900
acres, and as the stalks are we'll worth
80. so per acre, 5000, 900. 900 additional
must be set down as the value of the
crop. Such crop as this will do
much to make permanent the era Of
prosperity on which the country is
entering. A considerable part of the
large corn crop is grown in the South
ern States, which have until last year
depended on corn from the North
west. That crop failed last year, and
as result there is larger corn aver
age everywhere than usual.

Women have been playing in late
years an increasingly important part
in British politics never more so, &C
cording to the New York Tribune,
than in the last election. A canvass
of members has been made to ascer-
tain their experience and views as to
women's usefulness in the campaign.
Practically all OF them seem to agree
that women did highly effective work,
though few approve of women speak
ing on public platforms. or those
who do approve of their thus speak
ing, curiously enough, the most en-.
thusiastic is the Indian member, Mr..
Bhownaggree, who says: "The more
we have of it the better" Most of
them prefer women to take upon them
selves less public but not laborious
tasks. First OF all, perhaps. they are
TO hunt up and get the addresses OF
voters. Then they are to address en-
velopes and do other clerical work.
After that they may be engaged in
house-to -house canvassing. Finally,
they may personally bring voters to
the polls. Many members seem to
think them more effective team men in
these things, especially in house-to.
house oanvassing. Certainly there is
. general agreement that women are
doing more and more such work. and
are henoeforth to be reckoned as q
great force in practical politics.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Feed all the growing stock liber-

Let the pigs see what the orchard

Keep good collars on the horses in

Don't leave the horse during fly

Do your part towards keeping the
roads in good repair, and. perhaps
your neighbor will take the hint.
Keep the hen houses clean and
sweet. Fresh earth bountifully spread
under the roosts is wonderful help.

SOIL MOISTURE.

This season is adding abundantly to
the evidence that soil moisture is one
of tho greatest factors in crop pro-
duction. On millions of acres of land
naturally fertile and not exhausted by
bad farming, land which has been
well cultivated, there are poor crops
because there has not been sufficient
rainfall. With our present knowledge
the farmer is powerless so far as abb
solute prevention of injury is con-
cerned in such cases, but he can do
much to reduce the extent of the in
jury by first getting the soil in condi-
tion to readily take the rainfall as it
comes, and then reducing evaporation
and needless use of the soil moisture
as far as possible. In some cases
mulching the surface is the best thing /;
IN case of most crops which can be
cultivated, frequent shallow cultiva-
tion, leaving the urfnce nearly level
and finely pulverized, will be the best
means of reducing evaporation, as
preventing the growth of weeds and
all plants we do not want is the best
method of preventing needless use of
the moisture. Prairie Farmer.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
CHICKENS AND FLOWER BEDS.

Feed your poultry well, and loosen
the ground in some tempting place for
their dust bath. Do this after each
rain. Give them damp place to scratch
in when the weather is dry. Give them
some pounded bone, and green food,
and in every way lessen the temptation
to try what your garden has for them.

SECOND GROWTH SORGHUM.

When sorghum is cut down early in
the season, or in time for second
growth from the stubble, it is asserted
that this late product is dangerous to
cattle il they are allowed to feed upon
it in the field. A recent instance OF
injury to COWS is reported in the Ne
braska Farmer. The owner of some
COWS having turned them out to browse
this second growth, soon discovered
that there was something wrong with
the animals, and before they could be
driven from the field two died. Eleven
Others died soon afterward. Our Ne
braska contemporary says that this is
one OF the things that ought to be
widely known omong farmers, that
there is developed in growth sorghum
very active poison, and that it is al
ways dangerous to turn cattle at large
in fields containing it. This may be
true, but We doubt it very much. for
it would be rather anomalous freak

Honey Ants.

Honey ants have rec emily been dis
covered in Natal. They belong to
genus different from those of our
Western States, whose honey-produc-
ing workers have spherical, ,enormo usly
swollen abdomens filed with honey.
In the Natal ants there are very few of
these workers in proportion to the
entire colony; and while few had
very large round abdomens others had
abdomens in various degrees of dis
tension, showing that the degree of
absolute distension is gradually ar
rived at. This is the first African
honey ant yet discovered. Besides
our Western species, others occur in

The supply of natural gas in the old
fields of the East is decreasing stead-
lily and materially according to the
last report of the Geological Survey.
In most places artificial means have to
be used to force the gas through pipes
to distant points where not long ago
the natural pressure was more than
sufficient. The total value of the nat
ural gas consumed has fallen from
s22, 500, 900 in 1888 to S14, 900, 900
last year. Many factories that used
natural gas for all purposes have re-
turned lately to the use of coal. Mean
while new fields are developed and
prospected in the West which promise
to afford new supplies in great guam
tity; but there is only certain
amount of natural gas contained in
the earth, and scientific men agree
that, at the rate at which it has been
used heretofore, it will not last long

COTTON SEED FOR MrLcH COWS.

There has been and is still great
diversity of opinion among dairymen
in regard to the value of cottonseed
meal for feeding milch cows. Some
have reported adversely as to its value
and effect upon the butter, but others
believe that it is equal, il not superior,
to any kind of grain for making the
best of butter. We now have re-
port direct from an experiment sta
tion in cotton-growing state, that is,
from Texas, and Professor Soule sums
up his experience with this food as
follows:
]. Cottonseed and its products in
crease and maintain the milk flow.
2. 1t maintains the per cent OF fat
in the milk.
3. 1t enables churning to be done
ut higher temperatures, thus largely
taking the place of ice.
4. 1t renders the butter harder to
color, salt evenly and print satisfac-
torily.
8. 1t tgives the butter a more greasy
appearance, stiff, waxy consistence,
and flat and somewhat tallowy taste.
6. These defects however, are not
marked, and have been highly exag-
gerated by macy; and since cotton
seed and its products are so cheap and
valuable as food for dairy cattle, it is
poor economy not to use it more free
ly
