BATTLING THE FLOOD. Heroic- Work in the Fa«# of Dhtoong** meat -The Most Desperate Situation let Bneoantered Fifty Mile* of Lew Av tealljr la Dancer of Betn* Overtopped hr Water—Hundred* of Persons Rescued. Vicksbi kg. Miss.. April 1?.—The sitRation along the Louisiana levee* •cross the river for fifty miles above i, - and below this city dwarfs every other , feature of the flood problem into temtporary insiguiiieace. The rise shows ’ no diminution and the levees are aetn- | ally in danger of being overtopped b] 'he water now pouring- out of the Y1400 basin, in a sheet 35 miles wide, fora distance of ten miles opposite this city. la Spite of the Evident Danjfer and of the repeated warnings of the I weather bureau, very few persons are removing stock to the high lands, though all are taking other precautions. One hundred head of moles j - were brought to this city Friday from Sparta plantation, in Louisiana, ten miles above here. The belief prevails that the levees are weak, and the fear that they cannot be raised fast enough to keep ahead of a flood that is piling over four inches of water daily on a river already at 58 4-10 feet on tne gauge. „ In spite of those conditions the levee forces are battling doggedly against the flood night and day. It is the finest example of human energy and constancy of heart to tte seen at this foment on the planet. The Work of Relief U Cola* On systematically. Some of the negro refugees are finding employment in the uplands, a few having gone as far as Binds county, and here and there a planter's overt! .wed plaa tation is heard of who has removed his people to the hills, determined to make a cotton crop there and to plant his home place in corn when the water falls. \ Capt. M. C. Martin, ha-lag com- i pleted his inspection of flood eondi- i f tiohs between Green vill“ and Vicks* i burg, left for Washington last- evening to report verbally to the secretary of war. The local efforts to afford relief to the people temporarily exited from their homes are being successfully directed, to all appearance. and few would suspect such a number of them were gathered here. They are scattered all over the city.in colonies, so tosp*ak. are in good condition and not at all depressed by the situation. Capt. Charles H. Clark. C. S. A., arrived yesterday and will remain a few days. _ On* of Sn-ratar; Alc*r » Arrat* Rctwu to Wuthiugtou anti Reports. WaxHiNaTojr. April 1T.~-Maj. Sanger, j of the inspector-general's corps, arrived m Washington yesterday. He is the first of the officers sent out by Secretary Alger to the flooded districts to return to this city, lie explained ver*bally to Secretary Alger iast what had I been done by him and unaer his instructions to ascertain the condition of the flood sufferers and arrange for their relief. Major Sanger's district lies in the Mississippi valley from Memphis down to Helena Chartering a steamer at Memphis, with the best captain that could be found, a man who the major said was of the greatest help and willing to go anywhere to relieve distress, he took aboard two weeks* supplies of a character suggested by the Memphis committee aad start -d down the river, accompanied by Col. Rogers, chairman of the Arkansas levee board. It was > found that the Memphis people had already established stations for the relief of the refugees in many places throughout the St. Francis district in addition to the big camp they had pitched in West Memphis. All of these were visited and,in addition, Maj. Sanger established stations at other points where they seemed to be needed.

The re;ief boat ran up the >t. t raneis river and up the L'Angille river and across country over cotton tic ids and farms in every direction, where it was supposed people were to be found in Heed of help, acting largely upon advices of the local relief committees along the route. Returning to the main river a visit was made to the Flower lake crevasse, which was found to have extended to a width of 1.800 feet. May Sanger says that in the country overflowed from this break some of the richest cotton land ia the south is under water from two to 25 feet. More stations were established, negroes were sent out in canoes throughout the flooded districts to notify the people where they might come. May banger savs the inhabitants of the flooded section are bearing their Infliction with extraordinary patience, clinging closely to their half-sub-merged cabins and undergoing hardships in the hope of better times. He says that if the waters recede by the 20th of May all will be well with them, and that, with economy and careful distribution, the funds already appropriated will be sufficient fur the maintenance of the absolutely destitute » But if tH* water holds up. sad it is impossible to make a crop this summer, the distress that will resail will be terrible. A Bad Break at Bltp. VicuBbo. Miss., April 16. —The levee at Biggs. miles below Delta, La., broke at 10 o'clock to-night. The crevasse was 130 feet wide 20 minutes after it gave way. Delta is directly opposite Vicksburg. tarw Varit—1tn« HuAwd Perm* - Saved. Natchez. Miss.. April 16.—The gauge soles a rise for the past 24 hoars of .46. Above and below here the levees will not stand any more water. This is the statement of Capt. Thomas Bober of the steamer Joseph, engaged ia rescue work near Vicksburg. The, following telegram was received from him: “Rescued from Lovell's place, 169 persons who woald have gone under. To-day brought in 300. Will return by Lake Palmyra and continue the rescue late to-night. The levees will aot

AGRICULTURAL HINTS HOMEMADE BROODER. CaiKtraetni ra Slavic u« «t tkc IMuae Ttae Correct PHmIvIm. The iocubator has coxae to stay m the poultry world, and many farmers are also availing themselves of its advantages. Where incubators are used, one must have brooders, and unless ihesa can be made at home, the expense of a hatching “plant** is very materially increased. Fortunately, brooders can be constructed that will do very good work, though of course they must be watched a little more closely than* would be necessary with the selt-regu-; j Is ting brooders that one can buy. A plan is shown herewith that gives ! a brooder constructed on simple and at the same time correct principles. The diagram. Fig. ft.is very nearly self- j explanatory. A box three feet square, ’ or thereabouts, has in the bottom a j brooder lamp or stove. Above this is a sheet of iron as large as the inside of the box. and supported at the four j sides, and by an iron prop near the j lamp, if it i« inclined to sag. Make the j edges air-tight with cement, so that no j

CROSS SECTION OF BROOUER. fmres from the lamp can get up above the sheets iron. Have a sheet iron j drum made as indicated in Fig. 3 and j set this into the brooder floor. Ailing j ir the rest of the floor about the drum I with cement, that there may be no j danger from fire. The drum need not ; be over six inches in height. U has a half dozen openings under the top. as shown iu the sketch. When the lamp is lighted, air enters at one aide above the sheet iron, is heated and rises in the drum, passes out through the open- j ings into the chick chamber and is diffused alx>ut it. Three or four ventilating holes are in the wall near the floor, for the exit of cold air. This gives j a constant movement of warm air into the brooder. These openings can be

CORNER AND DRUM. partly closed when desired. An openirpr »n the side near the bottom of the lamp chamber, and one near the top on the opposite sides, give fresh air for the lamp and an exit for its fumes. The lamp is inserted through a small door in the side of the box. One whole side of the brooder chamber is a drop door, for the easy sweeping out of the floor. The top (in door) can have a pane of glass in it, so one may see the chicks, j and the thermometer hanging against one side. Glass on two sides gives light. The top must fit very tightly, j If this brooder is to be used out of doors, a roof must be added, as indi- ; eated by dotted lines. The corners of i the brooders are cut off. as seen in Fig. 2, so that the chicks may not crowd irto them and the weak be trampled upon and smothered by the strouger. should the chamber ever become eoid. This is an important matter and should not be overlooked. — Orange Judd Farmer. aMONu the poultry. Save all the feathers. V\ heat is one of the best egg producing foods. Suiitiower seed promote laying and good health. keep the tail and wing feathers separate frotu the others. 1 halt is a good, material for the nest* Ol the early sitting heus. The secret of raising goslings is to ke£p them dry and warm. \ ouug fow Is need ooue meal to supply strength and vigor to the growing frame. * * . it will require an average of one pound of gram per week for ten weeks to feed a efaieh. , If chicks are allowed a free run on lignt warm days it will add considerable to their vigor. The use of cross-bred cocks often prevents uniformity in the color and characteristic* of the chicks. Keep the yard and poultry-house floors sprinkled with sir-slaked lime and there will be fewer coses of roup.— Ft, Louis Republic.

Horan H»l4Ug Their On. An observing gentleman from the west says be tulirre* the market for horses is rapidly improving. He says people got the idea that electricity and the bicycle were going to render the demand for horses leas than they have. In some parts of the west horses are now becoming scarce because they fcgve been disposed of at an astonishing rate Electricity has about run its length as a displacer of horses and the bicycle is covering its own field pretty thoroughly. What the horseless wagon will do In the future la a problem, out until highways are materially Improved, it cannot come into general use. Feeding the larlsg Haas. It is a mistake to keep the laying hens frith thoaa which do not produce eggs. Cur the reason that the layers require more food than the others, snd do not receive it. Usually when hens do not lay they are too fat. and should be fed on foods containing but little grain, and also fed sparingly: consequently, when nil the hens are together, the non-pro- * dicing hens may become fatter while the layers do not receive enough. It dotes not pay to feed hens that do not give a return for the food consumed.— Farm and Flrorirta

BUSINESS METHODS. Vftr rumen Should Look Attn Their Inanranee Policies. Farmers sometimes forfeit their in- j turmce by neglect. While the mu- j tuai companies do not, as we under- ' ■tend it, hold farmers to the strict letter of the law, as do the stock companies, but go more on the equities of the ease in their settlements than on ■strictly legal points, nevertheless it is wise to have everything straight at the start and keep it straight. For example, many farmers during the year make additions to their buildings. The company should be informed of this fact and additional insurance, whether against fire, lightning or tornado, should be taken out j to cover the increased value. Many farmers sell or trade properties during [ the year and this vitiates their policy j unless an assignment is made, returned to the company, and a new policy ; issued. Where farmers do not sell ! outright they frequently deed por- | tlons of their property to their wives j or members of their families, thus making a change of title and in each case the policy should state the facts. Another matter. In making out a policy always see that the property that you wish to protect is specifically mentioned in the policy and that it j is so mentioned that there can be no | (dispute about it. For example, we j beard of a ease lately ihat is likely to I lead to litigation in a stock company. I The farmer so insured carried so much insurance on grains. A fire occurred and in addition to the grains a lot of elover seed was burned. The question came up at once, is clover seed a grain? It will be very difficult to prove that it is. Therefore the policy should read grain and clover seed, or any other kind of seed. Another matter. Always keep your policy where you will know where to get it should it be needed for any purpose and if possible keep it in a fireproof safe. Bankers usually take care of papers of this kind and it would be a good thing to leave your policies together with your banker, or in some other place where they are as safe as possible from fire.—Wallace’s Farmer. RENDERING LARD. Simple end Handy Device Which Make* the Task Easy. The illustration portrays a simple and handy device for heating water and rendering lard in kettles. 1 made the pieces, c e, out of the iron gangs of an old cultivator; any kind of light iron will do for balance. Set two parts, a a. (common fence posts) in the g re mid. Cut a mortise in top for cross}, ece b and pin them so the weight cf the kettle will not pull them together. Get two eyes, f f, for bottom (gate eyes will answer). To make them stronger, the two top eyes, f f, should be fitted with ruts. Make bottom of beams, c c, so they will go in bottom eyes and make the other end with a small crook for kettle to hang in. Take two pieces of iron, d d, and rivet them on each side of beams, c e; rivet a hook in the other end to hook in top ej’es. Bolt the pieee of

To remove the kettle ; from the fire, remove lock e and the J beam can be swung either way. I find ; it t very convenient way for rendering ! lard. If lard is foaming or getting too hot, it can easily be swung from over the fire until danger is over and when : done, the kettle need not be removed | from the beams until the lard is taken /ut.—H. M. Hodson, in Farm and Home. OILING THE HARNESS. It Inderlakra at All, TkU Mark should Be Done Well. Harness will last much louger and ook much better if kept well oiled, and will not get so stiff after being exposed to a day’s rain. During the spring it is jitiieult to keep harness from getting wet. and it will pay well before tbe sea- ■ ■son’s work begins to see that it is thor3Uf*hly oiled. In doing the work, the harness should be taken apart and washed clean, using warm water and rastiie soap, and then wiped dry, when the oil should be applied. If so clean that washing is not needed, it will be better to wipe off with a wet rag as the oiling can be done better. It is best to take harness all apart, in order to get at j »U of tbe parts and oil thoroughly. ! Good harness oil can be purchased a& ready for use. or neatsfoot oil, with a ' little lamp black, will be found good. If the harness has not been oiled for some | time and is hard and dry. it will be best I to go over them twice, finishing all up, and then commencing with the first piece and going over again. After every part has been thoroughly oiled, it should all be hung up over a frame of ] seme kind and allowed to dry. It should not be bung in the sun or where the triad strikes, as it will dry too rapidly. Tbe oil should have plenty of time to •oak in. Like most other work on the farm, if undertaken it will pay to do well.—Journal of Agriculture.

TWO REMARKABLE CUREa ■oaro« Comatr. Mo^ la Stkrtle4 fcy the Exfcrleaee of Wcll>Kaowa Ptople. Prom the Democrat. Monroe City, Mo. Among the most successful and progreshve fanners of Marion county, is J. M. White, whose P. O. address is Monroe City, Mo. He is a lover of good horses, thoroughbred cattle and Chester White hogs, and if there is a man on earth that is fond of a good table it is he. Mr. White says: “For eleven yours, that is from the fall of 1883 op to the fall of 18SM, I did not know what peace or rest was owing to indigestion. My family physician treated me for the trouble but gave no relief. After suffering that way for some ten months my back began to give me trouble and again the physician was called in, but after he prescribed and represcribed and there was no beneficial effects produced he said that my trouble was lumbago and that it would gradually wear itself out and would leave me. A short time after that I began to have smothering spells. They told me I had eaten something that disagreed with me. So again I repeated the farce of sending for a doctor. By this time I was reduced from 180 pounds to 130 pounds. This time I was told that my ease had become complicated. That I was suffering with indigestion, lumbago and kidney disease. ”1 was disgusted with the physician and discharged him and jstwped taking medicine. I was now a complete wreck of my former self and remained so for many months. One day I picked up a treatise describing Pink Pills for Pale People and concluded to try them. I secured a box and after taking them felt some better. Then I got two boxes and took them, and they gave me fresh courage, so I purchased four boxes and by the time they were gone I had almost renewed my youth. I am now titty-eight years old, can do a full day's work, eat well and sleep as sweetly as a child. I keep Pink Pills for Pale People on hand all the time and advise my neighbors to follow my example if they yrish to retain their health.’* Henry Bigler is one of the prosperous formas ana stack men of the “Little Kingdom,u 6r tH other words Rails county, Mo., a short distance from Monroe City. Mr. Bigler is fond of politics as a side issue. His wife has been ailing for some time. When the reporter asked about her health, he broke out into a hearty “ha ha” and when asked what was the matter with him he said: “Well, you know that for yean my wife was subject to those terrible sick headaches that would lay her up for two days at a time. Her sufferings were truly a torture. Of course everything that could be done for her or given her was tried but without any apparent effect. As the months rolled by the frequent attacks made inroads into her general health. She became emaciated ana general debility set in so I became more and more uneasy. One day o’d Aunt Dinah (one of the old family colored servants) came to see her and with the liberty that an old servant takes said that Mary must take Pink Pills for Pale People, because they had cured her head and she knew they would cure ‘missy’s.’ Well, to make a long story short, things had come to such a pass that I was ready to try anything. I purchased two boxes or Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and as soon as 1 arrived home gave my wife a dose. Before the first box was gone the attacks were less severe, and by the time the second box was taken anyone could see a great improvement in tier. Consequently we tested the Pink Fills for Pale People thoroughly and by the time she had taken the fifth box she wag? a round-cheeked, bright-eyed lass like she was when I first saw her nine years ago. And my dear sir, if you ever find my house without Pink Pills for Pale People in it I will give you the best farm in the Tittle Kingdom.* *' ‘ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or bv the 100>. by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.
