The Army Worm ON Hand.

On, July IS the destructive insect, Leu
cania UnifHneta.a or in common, words,
the army worm" was reported simulta-
neously as appearing in destructive num-
bers in Northern, Central and Southern
New York, in Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Massachusetts. In
these various sections where the day be-
fore stood fields of waving oats, rye and
corn, the next day could be seen only a
blackened waste. The devastation is in
the majority of gases, complete. In some
instances the farmers were forehanded
enough to cut their oats and corn for for
age. but altogether only a very small part
of the crops could be saved This insect
was also reported as appearing in the

Thus far this season the southern farm

it be so to the end of the year.

stepped into a bank, supposing he could

hurried back with his $1,000 in gold and

Model Hog Raising.

In regard to our mode of breeding and
raising the hogs with which we have been
topping the market in Chicago the last
four years. writes Missouri hog raiser
in Breeders Gazette, we would say we use
the pure breed Poland-China male hog on
our grade sows, which we have been Sc
lecting with an object of getting a typi-
cal SOW and they have been crossed so
long that they are as pure as any pedi-
greed stock, but we prefer our type of a
brood SOW rather than pedigreed.
In selecting our sows we always choose
one with the greatest number of teats,
saw twelve to fourteen, and one possess
ing, a long, round body, a short head,
small ears and large bone. We do not care
how big they are so they do not run 10
legs. In selecting a male pig for a
breeder we follow the same idea and
find it proves. good. We also look close
ly to the hair of a hog. We want good,
fine, sleek coat, but a rough coat will not
prevent us from using a hog OF either sex
if it fills all the other points. Now hav-
ing told all about the type of hogs we Sc
lect the next point-Which is as essential
as the others-is the time of breeding.
We raise two filters a year. We breed
our sows the first week in June and De-
cember. This gives two filters a year
to each SOW. About treating the sow
while in pig, We provide good pasture
of grass and brush, if possible, with pure
water and but very little corn, just enough
to keep her about half fat until about
tWo-thirds gone. We then increase the
feed to what she viii eat up clean twice
a day until she makes her bed to farrow,
when we let her alone for twenty-four
hours. After they farrow we give them
some water for few days and one or
two ears of corn, according to the size
of the sow, and increase the feed gradu-
ally until they have all they can eat. We
also use ground wheat slop to increase
the flow of milk. We wean our pigs the
last week in May and November. and then

and 1 am of the opinion that most of the
cholera can be traced to these death-deal-

I can add is to quote the old adages,

Afternoon tea, served in beautiful Sevres

nave little time to herself for writing to

period in the day see Viscount Cross on
financial matters, or her old physician, Sir
William Jenner, who. however, rarely has

mas been wonderfully blessed with good
health, partly because she places complete
reliance in her medical advisers. In the
early years of her reign she used to take
special prescriptions prior to and after
anxious public work. For instance. when
the queen opened parliament a messenger
would arrive at the palace with a tonic
adapted to the needs of the occasion. And
no sooner had the queen returned from
the House of Lords than another messen-
ger would bring a sedative powder, so
that the queen might not suffer from
overeXcitement.

has retired to be dressed for dinner. BY

COMMISSIONS ON EMIGRANTs.
Southern Pacific Railway OmciaIs
Make Il Denial

New Orleans, La. Nov. Gam item was
sent out from Chicago dated Nov. %, in
which it was stated that the Southern Pa
cihc Company has informed the other Pa
cidc roads that it will, on Dec. /. join them
in a reduction of the commissions on
west-bound emigrant traffic to a normal
basis; that this is regarded as a great
victory for western roads, as the normal
commissions is about S.. while the South
ern Pacific has been paying SIS.
General officers of the Southern Pacific
when shown the Chicago dispatch to-day
by Southern Associated Press reporter,
gave an unqualified denial to the correct
ness of the statement, and say it is in
Keeping with other underhanded meas
ures resorted to by the members of the
chicago enigrant clearing house commits
sion to throw the responsibility for rate
generalization on the Southern Pacific.
The southern Pacific is a corpora ton en-
tirely independent of the so-called clear
ing house roads, which have assumed the
right TO control all the emigrant business
of the country from both directions and
seek to divert 1t through other routes than
through Its natural gateway, the Crescent
CITY. The Southern Pacific has been OBJ
liged to establish an European agency in
dependent OF the other roads and have
simply met the commissions paid by the
clearing house roads.
General Passenger Agent S. F. B.
Morse denies emphatically that any
change has been made in their operations
with the emigrant business. The South
ern Pacific Company will continue to pay
the same commissions made by their
competitors When the clearing house
people found out three months ago that
they were being whipped by the Southern
Pacific Company, they came to the South
ern people and wanted to make an ar
rangement that would be mutually ac-
ceptable, and the Southern Pacific con-
scented to be party to it. Their remarks
on the associations western training
cropped out and they wanted to hog
the whole affair. get the company to pool
their interests in the association, and yet
refused to accord the Southern Pacific
representation on the board. OF course
this "hoggish" proposition was rejected
and the company continued to do business
at the old stand and lots of it at that.
This was gall and NORWOOD to the
western men and then they came to Traffic
Manager Stubs. and said: ''We-all of
us-are paying too much commission; sup
! pose we reduce it?'
Then Mr.. Stubs said Really? Do you
at last realize the fact?''
Thus the matter stands. The Southern
Pacific is ready to join in an equitable
agreement and in no other.

Monthly for October. 1879. explains the der
walton and meaning of the word al some
length. He wrote:
"A conflict between true and a false
spelling is now silently going on in the
case Of the word controller, more usually

this at once clear. Controller is, in Nor

from the Latin contra, against, and the
diminutive rotulus. rotula, n little wheel,

as early as the sixteenth century some

GET RID OF WHAT MAKES you SICK
AND STAY RID OF 1T.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent it,
and when they we're Sick in some cases
cure themselves. But so long as we don't
take more care Of our health we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean. take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undgested,
fermented, putrid food is the unheal thiest
thing you can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons Of undigested food. More
than half OF them could be cured with
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak, and a
course of nourishing food digested without
effort by the stomach with the aid of
Shaker Digestive Cordial would reinvigor-
ate the whole system and make us well.
