The scientist, the co'lege pro** lessor, wbo nudersiitmls a great deal about science, and who may be correct as far as his experience goes, bat who has bad few oppor tunities of obseivaiion m the field 2. The practical farmer who has noticed all the phenomena of rust, but w ho is unable to term conclu sions from Lbt-se observations. For years 1 bare breu observing rust in cotton, and ihe conclusion which 1 have reached, is that it is a general term or a variety ot dis ease?, sometimes local in the leal but generally iu the p'ant itself, in directly i.flect ug the leaf, ami is tine to a variety o! causes. Injury to the leaf Irmu parasites, dehes live circulation from general pi ver ty, bad and irregular seasons, de- fedive drainage, and sometimes from poisonous element iu the soil. I have seen rust or decay from all ot these causes, ami he who asserts that rust is a specific disease due to any one cause, is in my opinion, very much in error. We have it a poll ihe am hot it ,v of a .earned prohssoi of the South Carolina University, that rust comes Irom animal parasites, and he has es tablished this to ids own satisfac tion In actually propagating th disease. lam far from asserting tha: it never comes fioin this cause. 1 have myself seen it from the dep mlaiioii of ordinary co 1 ton lice, hut that this cannot be the general cause, is evident from the lact that the instcl enemies of plants always sell ct t he most healthy, because the most succulent growth. The Cuiton woiiu is iuvuiiubly found (list upon ihe most vigorous amt tender plants. Il this was the true cause, tust would pievatl generally when ihe crop was under the most favotable conditions, and would exist without regard o s “asciis or soils. Such is the lauf. Again the distinguished fanner and agricultural wnter. Dr. Lee, for whom 1 h ive the highest re spect, tells us thaliustis always the result ot fungus growth. My observations do not sustain ibis. 1 have neVi r bee able io detect any reddish deposit upon the diseased leaf as is l lie case w ill the grains, hi uce ti e name. Dr. Hemy liaveiul, of Aiken, IS. 0, who was widely known as an eminent botanist, especially in this class of plants, «ry p’ogams, once slated to me taai he hail bieu deep ly interested iu (lie subject ot iust in cotton, having huusel bten lor years a cotton |fanwr, ami that lie hail never been able with the most powerful glass to discover any fun gus growth. Mow, il Dr. Lee has vlelecltd this giowth by the micro scope, then there is here a eontiici of high scientific authority. But has he or has he not accepted this theory Irom analogy with other plants. Again, David Diekson, the great practical fanner, asseits that rusi is nothing bur poverty; mauura your laud and you will remove ilia disease. Time is no doubt (hut poverty of the soil is the most gen era I cause ot decay errust; every observant tanner will admit ol some limitation. Injudicious manuiiiig of poor lauds with a very solub.e fertilizer sonn times produces tie disease. This doubtless happens from the manuie becoming exhaust ed or ceasing to act irom want of moisture at the critical period ween the plant, highly stimulated and loaned with liuit, is !clt in worse condition than it no manure had been used. Such has been the fate of many a promising crop. But this occasional experience is no ar gument against the position that manure combined wHh liuiiim is the best general nundy for iust, if hot a specific. Again, we bear a great deal of late about kainit as a sovereign cure. Tbeie is no doubt that upon certain lands where potash has teen exhausted or is absent, that the effect of kainit is admirable iu tostaining the plants, I have seen remarkable illustrations of this on my own farm. But ueitber general or apeoiad manuring will prevent ruse upon lands radically uusuiied to cotton. There are certain sour lands, gum pends, which will not make tottou even with Ihe best manures, and there are other lands which •u-i ;o badly us to indicate nut "p v Ue abstiiee of fertility, bit: 0 ( M dm noxious ole i* • b.i 1. mu, iu some injuii- Hi* : P lit. A summary of what I have wilt ten is that rust in cottou is rarely a disease of Ihe leaf, but generally a decay of the pl uit, and is due not to oue, bat a number of unhealthy causes. But it may be asked why is it that cotton is more subject to this di cay than any other of our cultivated croi s f I think wen ed not go far lo find the true explanation. I is said that wheat is the most civil ized of all our Hgiicultural plants, but I doubt if cottou may not be re-, ganhd as more civilized than even the gieut cereal, as it is further re moved from its natural or savage state. Compare the cotton plant of i he present day, with its hundred of bolls and its crops of five bales to the aere, to the plant of oui fathers. Think of its artificial eon dition. Selectid year after year to increase its productiveness and fed with concentrated and artificial food to sustain the exhaustion. Like the high bred animal, ir needs the temlerest care to support it in its struggle for life iu its artificial state. It is u mu 1 ter of common observation that highly prolific typ.s of cotion are more liable to decay or rust than inferior varie> ties. Neither man, animal nor plant can become highly developed or civilized without a coirespond ing ti udency to disease. The Eleventh Census. Depabtmkst or tiik Intkuior, Ce.v-cj Orrics, Washington, l). C., May 1, 1889 To ihe Medical Profession : The various medical associations and the im dical profession w ill be glad to learu that Dr. John 8. Bil lings, Surgeon U. S. Aimy, has consented to take charge of the lie- port on the Mortality and Vital Statistics of the Uui’ed Slates as returned by the Eleventh Census. As the United States has no sys tem of registration of vital statis tics, such as is relied npou by other civilized nations for the purpose ot ascertaining the actual movement of population, our census affoids the only opportunity of obtain iuguearan approximate- esdmate ot the birth and death rates of much the larger part of the country, which is entirely uuprovi e.t with any satisfactory system of State and muH cipui regisb ation In view of ibis, the Census Ofih e, during the inontn oi May this year, will issue to ihe medical ptv f. ssion throughout the country “I'liysi cian’s Registers” fur the purpose * I obtaining more accurate le.tuius ol de.iths than it i- possible lor the enumerators to m ike. Ir is earn est y hoped that physicians in every part i f the con try will co operate with the Ceusus Office in this im- poitaut woik. Tne record should or* kepi from June 1, 1889, to M i\ 31,1890. Nearly 20,000 of these registration beoks w.-ie filled up .mil returned to the office in 1880, and nearly all of them used for sta tistical purpose-, It i.- ho; ed ih it double this number will be obtain ed for the Eleventh Oeusus. Physicians not receiving Regis ters can obtain them by se.-.diou their names and addiesses to the Census Office, and, with the Regis ter, an official envelope which re quires no stamp will be provided for their return to Washington. If all m«dical and surgical prac titiouers throughout the country will lend their aid, the mortality and vital statistics of the Eleventh Census will ne more comprehensive and complete than they have ever been. Every physician should take a personal pitde in having this re port as lull and accurate as it is pos-ible to make it. It is hereby promised tnat all in formation obtained through this source shall be held sttictly c mfi dential. Robert P. Porter, Supt. of Census. Handsome Horses, The American Cultivator gives the following description of certain horses recently exhibited at the Bostou hoise show, the property of Mr. .1. R. Whipple, who is a brother of Capt. Paul Whipple, of Darlington County: “Barbara, roan mare, l.*J hands, seven years old, was adjudgtd to be the handsomest animat under sad dle of any breed or sex on exhibi- t on. Entered by M. A. Morrill, Boston. She is owned by Mr. Whipple ot hotel fame, was bred in Canada and is what is known as a three-quarter animal. Her sire was iho thoroughbred, War Cry, and her dam by imported Lapadist. She took first prize as ladies’ sad dle horse, and also won fiist for handsomest animal ou exhibition ot any age or sex. “Mr. J. R.

Two years ago ihe writer sus tain* d « great deal of damage by- bud woims iu corn, but finally “got ahead of them” aud the plan adopt ed might be ot intenst t > the pub lic, as it is Very simple, as follows: As soon as they put iu au appeal- a nee its you will observe by the bud leaves of the little stalk wilting aud dying, bear off the rows as close s you would cotton, and go through with the hoes and take Ihe dirt away horn the stalk, as near as you cau, down to where the io. ts branch out, aud you will find yourself victor. Do not be afraid of injui ing your corn ; it will stand ibis treatment and even thrive until n is too large for the worms to hurt, when you may work the dirt back to it. The philosophy is, these fellows inhabit the ground and can enter the stalk only under the ground aud at the point iu the stalk wheie the little blades ate forming, aud when the dirt is taken away below this point he Is at Ins row’s end. Ho cannot bore into the stalk above the ground for want of something to bold to or with, while he is working, aud he will nut bore among tne roots; and if be did, be w on d not find his dainty morsel—the little buds. There «re many theories in rela tion to these little pests, and if ai y ofyoi r readers entertain ideas of them inconsistent wiih the above, and at the same time suffering from their ravages, if they will only give the above a thorough test ou a single row, they will not only bo almost, but entirely “persuad- ed.” An Effective Mule Invigorator, While tiaveliug in Virginia some time ago with a doctor v e came upon an old colored mail w ho was standing by a mule hi:chi d to an old iwo-wbeiled vehicle. “D s mule ■ ui balk* d, boss,” said ti e tldmau, ‘•an’ i ll jis gib a do lab ter de man .. ha: can start im’.” •‘1 will do it for leas than ilia:, Uncle,” said t ie doctor.

Iu ttie. course of ten minutes vve came up to the old man standing in M e load wait ing for us. The mule was nowhere iu sight. “Say boss,” said the darkey, “bow mocli do you charge for dat stuff you put in dat mule!” ‘ Oh, tm cents will do,” laugh ingly replied the doctor. “Well, boss, heah is twtiuy cents.
