Periods Of Vegetable Growth.

6outhsrn Farms.
Some observations made by q
naturalist upon the time when
plants grow the most have just
been published. The experiment
talist divides the day and night
various periods, and gives the per-
centage of growth in each, which
are as follows: From 6 g. m. to .
a. M, 81 per cent, of groutb; from
9 a. m. to midday, u per cent;
midday to 8 p. m, no growth; 8 P.
m. to 6 p. M, no growth; 6 p. m.
to 9 p. M, II per cent; 9 p. m. to
midnight, 81 per cent; midnight
to 6 a. M, IS per cent. From these
figures it is concluded than more
than 80 per cent, of growth is
made during night. Numerous
plants were used for these expert
ments. and the amount of growth
varied according to the different
kinds.

THE HIGH WATER.

Times Democrat.
The high water situation is cri-
teal, and is likely to continue so
for some weeks. the point of grea-
test danger gradually moving
southwark as the crest of the wave
rolls toward the Gulf.
Yesterday may be regarded as
an average one, male up of equal
proportions of good and bad. The
Mississippi levees still keep up.
Several private levses have beo-
ken, but the big ones that defend
the fertile Yazoo delta are as yet
safe. At several points, however,
the river is q few inches above the
top of the levee, and the water is
pouring over. It is here that the
chief fight Is being made against
the flood, and it is a gallant fight.
There are several thousand men
at work strengthening the levee

it to prevent the water from flow.

increase the danger below, as the

The food has not yet reached
the Louisiana levees, but those
most interested in levees seem to
feel great confidence that the
Louisiana levees will be able to
hold all the water that Is
coming down. 1t is not a feeling
of overconfdence, and no precau-
ton will be overlooked; but they
say that the levees are high enough
to stand the present flood. The
greatest danger is long continu

1t is conceded by the majority
of poultrymen that ground or soft
food should form a part Of the
daily ration. AS the digestive or
gans contain the least amount of
food in the morning, it is desira-
bic to feed the soft food at this
time, for the reason that it will be
digested and assimilated quicker
than whole grain. A mixture of
equal parts, by weight, of corn
and oats ground. added to an equal
weight of wheat bran and fine
middings, makes a good morning
food if mixed with milk or water,
thoroughly wet without being slop-
by. If the mixture is inclined to
be sticky the proportion of bran
should be increased. A little lin
seed meal will improve the mix
ture, particularly for hens during
the molting period, or for chic
kens when they are growing fea-
theirs? If prepared meat scrap or
animal meal is to be fed it should
be mixed with this soft food in
proportion of about / pound to 25
hens. 1t will be necessary to feed
this food in thoughts to avoid soil.
ing before it is consumed.
The grain ration should consist
largely of whole wheat, some coats
and perhaps a little cracked corn
This should be scattered in the
litter which should always covel
the floor of the poultry house. II
is necessary to have the floor Of
the poultry house with a litter o.
some kind to insure cleanliness
Straw, chat, buckwheat bulls, cut

ters. The object Of scattering thu
grain in this litter is to give thu
fowls exercise. All breeds of fowll
that are noted for egg production
are active, nervous, and like to b.
continually at work. How to keel
them busy is problem not easil,
solved. Feeding the grain as dc
scribed will go a long way towart
providing exercise. If the fowl,
are fed three times q day the,
should not be fed all they eat a
noon. Make them eat every ker
mel. At night, just before goinl
on the perches, they should hsv'
all they will eat up clean. At nj
time should mature fowls be fet

lookout for another kernel o

Every paper in the United Sta
tes ought occasionally to keep the
fact before its readers, that burnt
corn is q sure and speedy cure for
hog cholera. The best way is to
make pile of corn on the cob,
efectually scorch it, and then give
the hogs free access to it. This
remedy was discovered by E. E.
Locks, Esq, at the time his dis
tillery was burnt in this country,
together with q large quantity of
store corn, which was so much in
jured as to be unfit for use, and
was hauled out, and greedily eaten
by the hogs, several of which
were dying daily. After the &C.
oond day not a single hog was
lost, and the disease entirely dis.
appeared. The remedy has been
tried in q number of cases since
and never failed--Lewiston Ga

WOMEN NEED MORE REST

Tt ere / S no doubt of the fact that the
greatest fault OF the American woman In
her predispositiOn to unnatural activity
She does not rest enOugh-Sometimes does
not rest at all. American girls may easily
be detected abroad by their energy and
their lack OF repose, il not by their good
looks and tasteful dressing
''They seem to be always afraid Ofmissing
something said an observant French
woman in discussing them. When they
come here they want To look under the
grayestones; the exterior of things isn't
enough for them-they want interiors and
they adore underground passages; Trey
don't even abhor the steps thatleadtothem.
From the time they leave their native shores
they never sit back When they are driving
they sit forward on the edge of their seats;
they seem to think that in this way they
are propelling the horses, and that they
will reach their destination quicker
The prescription for recuperatiun from
gayety and sightseeing and athletics is rest
the rest cure in a mild form You Will be
told TO make an attempt to let go, as it
were, of all your muscles Play" as the
children say, ''as if you were drunk With

Havana, March 4.-Advices received here
show that the rebels have been displaying
great activity, and in several encounters
sustained with the Spanish troops have OBJ
tanned signal victories. Incomplete details
received from Manzanillo state that Gen
Garcia, with 5000 men and three pieces of
artillery, met Gen. Rey, with 1 800 men
and three pieces Of artillery, at CDstamad da.
A fierce fight resulted. Garcia, with his
superior forces and better position, easily
routed the Spaniards, inflicting heavy
losses, estimated at 600, if not over.
Another report comes from Matanzas
of a severe engagement on the Gath OF
February. Cayo Billas, Mayia Rodriguez
and Garlic met Gen Molinas forces and
obtained complete victory. Details are

Since Weyler retired the bulk OF the
spanish forces, Rivera has been able to

Many rumors are floating about as to
