THE WATERY WASTE. The Situation in the Flooded District at Least No Worse. In the Lcfta Growing. But tht OIomm of DUklpg k Crop After the flood Subside* Diminishing— A Cry of Oistross. Tbs Situation la the Flooded District No Worse. N Memphis, Tenn., April 8.—Notwithstanding the high winds and heavy rainstorm reported from the overflowed Mississippi delta, last night, the situation in the flood-stricken section, if not better, is certainly no worse to-night The water which has been pouring through five big crevasses for more than a week is rapidly flowing into the Mississippi again at a point 13 miles north of Vicksburg, and is sweeping southward with terrible forced The atrain on the Louisiana levees will be something terrific for a week, and if they withstand the pressure for that length of time all will be well.; The Sunflower river, which traverses the counties of Coahima, in Mississippi, is on a rampage to-night Two-thirds of the water from the Flower lake crevasse is rushing pellmell into this stream, and a large area will be inundated from the overflow. The Tallahatchie and Coldwater rivers are gradually falling. At Helena the river is slowly falling, and Indications are that the big. streams will continue to decline. The backwaters below the Arkansas midland levees are on a stand to-night The number 6f refugees is increasing at Helena almost every hour. The steamer Maud arrived there late this afternoon with more than a hundred flood sufferers, swelling the list already there to 3,0J0 people. At Rosedale nothing of special interest has occurred in the situation. After a stormy night that caused buildings to rock and sway like boughs of trees, the sun came out bright and clear in that section to-day, but a cold north wind is blowing. In the Hogue Phalia cduntry much suffering is reported. Members of the Rosedale relief committee will visit that section to-morrow and distribute provisions to the needy.

ai ureeuvme me miuuhuh uas nui changed. All the levees along the Mbisitvs.ippi front satisfactorily withstood the terrible wind of last night. At Memphis the river continues to fall. A decline of one-tenth of a foot is reported by the weather bureau tonight. The railroads, with one exeep- i tion, are again open for business, and in good shape and all trains' are being j run on schedule time. Many dis- | patches from Memphis have stated that the Iron Mountain was the only j line entering the city from the west side. This is erroneous. The Cotton Belt railway has been open during thy i high water in Arkansas* dispatching its trains promptly and regularly. By ; raising the tracks in the vicinity of j Bird's Point, opposite Cairo, the road had an uninterrupted service to and j from St. Louis. Coutltleaee In the Levee, but Little Chance j of Making %C'mp. VicKSBCRG, Miss., April 9.—Informa- j tion from all points on the Louisiana j side and the Arkansas state line down 1 to the lower end of the district, is that while the high winds have done con-j siderable damage no serious results followed last night's storm along the ! entire frout line of the levee banks j that are now put to such a se- | vere strain by the waters joining out of the Yazoo. Lieut. - Col. Newcomer, with headquarters \ in Memphis, United Slab's engineer in j charge of this, the third district, which extends from tlje mouth of the White j river down to Warrenton. ten miles be- j low this city, telegraphs to Capt. j Brown, his assistant in charge, that! more money is available if necessary ! and to do everything possible to hold j the levee and to prevent overflows, j Col. Newcomer had previously placed 110,000 to the credit of the emergency j fund here. This gives ample fuuds for the high water tight that is now on.

riTMUfiu .najwcu mamtu jcaicruo^ ; that the line in danger extends from i Henderson. SO miles above Vicksburg, to Warrenton. ten miles below. This territory is being closely watched, and targe forces are at work raisiug the | low lines and strengthening the weak 'j (daces. At the Bedford-Higgs levee, ten miles ; below, in Louisiana, the work is well under way, and two days more, it is thought, will put it out of immediate j danger. At Cabin Tell, in Upper Mad- | taou parish, there was some wave-wash ; damage last night, but it was all re- ' paired to-day. The Surget-Ashley run-around, built ; to protect a caving bank in Concordia 1 pariah, was completed yesterday. Mr. Maxwell also stated that he has no j fears of the Tennessee levees, as they ' are all five feet abore highest water, j This line runs from Bedford down to St. Joseph, a distance of about fifty j miles. CapL Long, a well-known levee con- J tractor, was in the city to-day, and states that he rode over the line yes- j fcerday from Ash wood. La., down to j Hard Times Landing, a distance of 23 j miles, and that the levees could stand j six feet more water. Mr., Maxwell I atates that if the levees hold until the i flood passes Vicksburg he wiU feelj comparatively safe. - Information from the delta is that | Deer creek and Sunflower are rising rapidly and are flooding all lands adjoining. The damage done in the over- * flowed section is almost beyond esti- j mate. Experience in past years is evi- ; dence that no corn can be raised on j overflowed lands of the season and not an average crop of cotton. Mr. S. P. Metzger, president of the Cotton exchange of this city, well informed and a close observer, gives it as his opinion that the loss to the receipts of cotton by the overflow in the states of Arkansas and Mississippi this season will not fall short of 3*0,000 bales and posaibly greater. The Yaaoo.delta will not, if the water goes out by the first of Junes make half a crop.

United States Assistant Engineer. W. 8. Brown arrived on the steamer Vi* dette from above at 0 p. m. and reports ail safe. __ Hie First Crjr of Dlstnsi from Flood Suf feivra. Jackson, Miss., April 9.—The Asst* dated Press reporter at Greenville, the seat of the district, telegraphs at t p. m. as follows: The first cry of distress from the flood sufferers of the Mississippi valley was sent out yesterday by the citizens of Greenville when they appealed to the government for supplies to feed 40,000 people in this county alone. This morning's appeal jaeans that the colored people in Washington county at least have tin row n up the sponge, and have but little hope, if any, of making crops this year. This was addressed to Congressman Catehings and Gov. McLaur* in, and asked for il25,000 for immediate use to ration those who will soon be left destitute. Reports from the Sunflower and Tallahassee river bottoms bring tidings of the waters every moment. At Clarksdale, Coahoma county, the water rose SO feet last night and was still rising at the rate of six inches an hour. A wind storm which prevailed all last night caused fresh alarm on the river front and the levee guards were stationed all along the line of levees here. The river is still stationary at a mark higher than ever before and there is no prospect of relief. The Western Union and Southern telephone wires from here are down and there is no communication over these routes. Skiffs and yawls and rafts are making trips daily mto the interior with food and general plantation sup piles. THE MACHINERY IN ORDER For Promptly Exrcatlnr the Government'* Flan* of Relief. Washington*. April 10.—The machinery provided by the war department for the relief of sufferers from the Mississippi river floods is now in working order and Secretary Alger said today that by Saturday morning the deipartment would be in a position to cover the entire flooded district with its force of inspectors. The officers already-detailed to this service have started for the west,, and before leaving Washington they received orders assigning them to different sections of. the great river.

muj. v r«*i^v aiHTUfti wrp, uiucreu to proceed to New Orleans to consult with Maj. 0. M. Derby, the eugineer officer in charge of that section, and then proceed to Red river landings, investigating the condition and needs of the people as he proceeds. His orders are to report the results of his investigation to Secretary Alger, who will use this, in conjunction with the similar reports from other officers, as a basis for the distribution of the relief stores. I apt. Charles II. Clark , of the ordnance department is. ordered to Vicksburg, there to consult with Maj. J. II. Willard, the station engineer, after which he will also proceed to Red river landings on a tour of investigation, lie, like liis brother officers, engaged in this duty, is instructed to confer fully with all of the local relief committee on his route. First-Lieut A. S. Rowan, Nineteenth infantry, goes to Memphis, to confer there with Capt Fitch of the engineer corps. Thence he starts oh a tour of the river between Helena, Ark., and Greenville, Miss. , Maj. Sanger, inspector general,’also goes to Memphis, but after talking over the conditions Ah ere with Capt Fitch, he will take as his route the river from Memphis to Helena. Capt. Martin, assistant quartermaster, will go first to Vicksburg and hear from Maj. Willard, the engineer officer stationed there. His section of the river will extend from Vicksburg to Greenville. Second-Lieut H. M. Whitney, Fourth artillery, takes section six of ’the river, from Cairo up. He will first report to Capt Fitch at Memphis.

i ne uuatcmeui or me uouu cm me Red River of the North has caused the rescinding of the order already issued to another officer to proceed to that section. Secretary Alger received to-day the following telegram from Mayor J. A. Johnson, of Fargo. N. IX, where the flood had been reported as raging. !“Fargo is grateful for offered assistance. Water subsiding fast. Our people are in no need of the assistance tendered. Damage greatly exaggerated.” All the boats of the lighthouse establikhment in M:->issippi have been turned over to the" war department for' relief work, so have the boats of the Ml ississippi River commission, and Secretary Alger says that if these are not sufficient, he will eharter as many more of the river craft as may be necessary. SEED DISTRIBUTION. Secretary Wilson Ha* Initiated a New Syntrm la HI* Department. Washington. April 10.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has initiated a new system of seed distribution in his department. His aim is to diversify, so farms possible, the farm products of the country, and to this end he is making a specialty of selecting new and valuable seeds from all parts of the world and putting them in the hands of farmers likely to use them to advantage. He has begun the work wi^i sugar-beets and leguminous plants of' all sorts. W hile sugar-beets are now widely cultivated in the west, the best seed at present comes from abroad. A large supply of these high grade seeds has been ordered and will be judiciously distributed. I’oqs hkMpiif Glam Works Burned. Pocghuckpsir. X.

THE FARMING WORLD. NEW HEATING DEVICE. •teecufally Introduced In m Ain in bet of Ohio CrenuMrrteM. The accompanying illustration is something new a» a heating device in creamery work. Its use is to displace the tempering vat so commonly in use in most creameries, and which takes much valuable time to clean, aside from the often continued roaring noise made from *steam entering the water inside. Some objections have been raised to using live steam in milk for heating it preparatory for the separator, espe?ially in extreme cold weather, claiming that the excessive expansion causes the butter globules to become so suddenly heated as to produce a foreign taste in the churned butter. Sometimes the water used in boiler may not be good and harm may come from that source, but the same steam n

' FINE MILK HEATER. 3, Separator: P. Pump: O. Overflow: S P, Steam Pipe; F. Faucets: H. Heater: MP. MUM Pipe. used about the creamery for cleansing purposes would do harm also; hence it is important that nothing but pure water be used about "either boiler or the building. In ease the weather is cold, and to avoid putting too much steam direct into the milk, it is important then to heat the water under the receiver vats to at least half the ueoessarv temperature for separating. I know quite a number of creameries that have put this simple device in during the past summer, and ti/ul ‘but it not ouly lessens labor, but that by its use a better ami more even temperature can be obtained than by the use of the tempering vat, and the cleaning of it does not require* one-fifth of the time that the usual vats require. The cleansing is done by pumping warm water through the pipes and then steaming them thoroughly for about three minutes. The illustration is simple and almost explains itself. M P represents the milk pipe or hose extending from the milk vat to P, pump, which raises the milk into the pipe joined onto the pump. The milk naturally flows down to the point II, where a half-inch pipe, S 1\ is inserted into a T larg£ enough to take an inch galvanized iron pipe, the end being plugged up tight and a number of small holes drilled in on side for the escape of steam in small jets. The half-inch pipe joins on the tnree-qunr-ter-inch by a reducer just below a globe valve which Tegulates the volume of steam. The pipes O 0 are to allow overflow when the stopcock at F is partially closed up, with the point O over milk vat. The \alve at base of pump also regulates the flow- of milk into separator (S). In case the flow vat is at an elevation above separator, it is only necessary to extend the pipe from point II directly into vat. and the only thing necessary would be a globe valve next to vat, with the steam jet and (Ft faucet. Not long since while at Sandusky institute, and discussing the creamery subject, I mentioned this labor-saving device, and a young man from Huron. O., made speeial inquiry about it. In less than a week he had one in their creamery, and writes that it is simply “out of sight” in every respect, and wishes to thank me for putting him onto the idea. I know of five creameries that arc using the device, and they are making butter that grades first-class everywhere and at all times, and for cuch reasons do not hesitate to recommend its use under the conditions uoted in this article.—George E. Scott, ic Ohio Farmer.

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS. I nlqae Ciaa Advocated bjr a Prohibition Paper. A writer in the Prohibitionist has a newliighway scheme, namely.to nationalize ail the public roads of the United States. Let the people initiate tbe project by requesting the United States congress to enact a law authorizing the interior department to cooperate with the respective states in establishing and constructing a boundary line road or boulevard of liberal width, limited grade, in straignt courses, and, as may be possible, following the existing boundary line of the respective states. These roads, when completed, to forin the exact boundary lines of the states—the United States authorities to have the right of way in locating and constructing. paying a fair price for labor and land; all expenses to be paid with labor exchange money, issued by the United States, which is to be exchangeable fot all other money issued by the government and receivable for all debts Each state is to bear a proportionate share of the expense for tbe maintenance of these roads. The same system to be followed later in making boundary line roads fur counties and townships. Uncle John Patterson says that dairy mg goes well with fruit growing. “We want cream with our berries.” The great advantage in dairying is that it ttmids up the farm. There is manure for building up the poor spots and the land can be janrovfd every year

Die Wonderful Kava-Kava Shrub. A New Botanical Discovery .—Of Special Interest to Sufferers from Diseases of the Kidneys or Bladder. Rheumatism, eta—A Blessing to Humanity. A Free Gift of Great Value to You. Our readers will be glad to know that the new botanical discovery, Alkavis, from the wonderful Kava-Kava shrub has proved an assured cure for all dis

acid in the blood, or by disordered action, of the Kidneys or urinary organs. The Kava Kava Shrub, or as botanists call it. Piper Afethys- , it cum. grows on the banks of the Ganges river, East India,

IV A V A*IYA> A OHRID ^«vvaw«9 (■Piper M'thysticum.) used for centuries by the natives before its extraordinary properties became known to civilization through Christian missionaries. In this respect it resembles the discovery of quinine from the peruvian bark, made known by the Indians to the early Jesuit missionaries in South America, and by them brought to civilized man. It is a wonderful discovery, with a record of isoo hospital cures in 30 days. It acts directly upon the blood and kidneys, and is a true specific, just as quinine is in malaria, We have the strongest testimony of many ministers of the gospel, well known doctors and business men cured by Alkavis, when all other remedies had failed. In the New York Weekly World of Sept. 10th. the testimony of Rev. \V. B. Moore. D. D., of Wishing ton, D. C. was given, describing his years of suffering from Kidney disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis. Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at Cobden. Illinois, passed nearly one hundred gravel stones after two weeks' use of Alkavis. ; Rev. John H. Watson, of Su nset.Texas, a minister i of the gospel of thirty years' service, was sty-ck i down at Bis post of duty by Kidney disease. I After hovering between life and death for two • months, and all his doctors having failed, he . took Alkavis, and was completely restored to i I health and strength.aud isfulslling hisdutiesaa minister of the gospel. Mr R. C. Wood, a prominent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cured of Rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder disease of ten years standing, by Alkavis. Mr.Wood describes himself as being in constant misery, often com1 polled to rise ten times during the night on I account of weakness of the bladder. He was I treated by all his home physicians without the | least benefit and finally completely cured in a few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un1 doubted snd reallv wonderful. Mrs Tames ' Young, of Kent. Ohio, writes that she had tried ! six doctors in vain, that she was about to give : up in despair, when she found Alkavis and wag S promptly cured of kidney disease and restored i to health. Many other ladies also testify to the i wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the j various disorders peculiar to womanhood. So for the Church Kidney Cure Com- | pany, No. 41a Fourth, Avenue. New ; York, are the only importers of this j new remedy, and they are so anxious to j prove its value that for the sake of intro- ! duction they will send a free treatment of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every reader of this paper who is a Sufferer from any form of Kidney or Bladder j disorder, Bright’s Disease, Rheuniaj tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back, Female Complaints, or other affliction due to improper action of the Kidneys j or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf- ; erera to send their names and address ! to the company, and receive the Alkavis j free. It is sent to you entirely free, to j prove its wonderful curative powers.
