been called upon to make investiga-

anthrax. and samples Of the blood and

Of the State university for bacteriolog-

were found, but the bacillus anthracis
was not present.
The horses affected were in the ma
jority of cases heavy dranght horses
from the lumber camps. These animals
were brought from the woods in the
spsing, usually in good condition, and
turned out to pasture. Most Of them
were fed grain while ON pasture. On
the farm Of NJ. G. +. Reynolds, Hay
ward, Wis, over 70 horses have died
during the past four years from this
peculiar malady. The pasture con-
tanned about 400 acres, 800 acres Of

Upland Rice.

A small patch Of upland rice was
raised in Little Rock this year, by .
gentleman familiar with its culture.
It Is . crop that has received but little
attention from agriculturists because
It is generally understood that rice can
only be raised on low -und, where II
can be flooded.
But there is no doubt that upland
rice could be successfully and profit
ably grown in Arkansas. A corre-
spondent Of the Farm and Home, liv-
ing in Alabama, has raised rice on his
poorest soil and produced : good crop.
We reproduce his letter:
Il ride into the arena again on my
hobby, upland rice. Ny short letter
last spring received SO much favorable
attention that / am constrained to
write again on the same subject, espe-
cially = the largest crop Of upland rico
ever known in this country has just
been harvested.

Of . much ADLER pen than mine, for
this cereal has proven itself Of more
value this year than al the others in
this section, and shall deem myself .
public benefactor if can bring upland
rice into general use.
Until the common cane or reed pro.
duces seed annually in rs great abund-
ance Is II did this year in east Ala
hama, upland rice will be the greatest
cereal that can be planted, for several
reasons It produces more per aero
than corn, wheat, or oats, with less
work than either, except oats, and will
do well on poorer land than any Of
them. I demonstrated the last fact
this year by raising = good crop Of
rice on = worn out hillside that would
hardly sprout cow peas, and tho
first by getting : better crop ON
better land, but with hoeing only once
and never blowing it 1T al, 50 that all
the work expended on that piece Of
ground was bedding the land, planting
the rice and hoeing it once.
''One Of my nearest neighbors raised
this year 400 bushels Of rice on between
ten and eleven acres Of rank new
ground, and al my neighbors plant
more or less rice for stock feed, Is it in
