A LONG MEMoRY.-Tifne, the great settler,
was illustrated by the case related by the I'D
Uert,ser, where Cuban merchant refused seve-
raj years since to pay just debt of $4,000 to a
Portland firm, and how that on Thursday the
Cuban CHANGED to be at the Falmouth and was
recognized by one of the Portland firm to whom
he owed the debt; and how the old debt was fig
ured up, with interest, to the amount of $2S,
900; and how the Cuban was arrested and now
lies in Jail. The case certainly presents some
unusual features.

Disease Among Hogs.

AS the hog cholera or other diseases
are so prevalent among the hogs in
some parts of this State, I have con
Guided to write an article for your pa
per this month, giving my experience as
to the cause, the preventive and cure for
almost all thediseases that hogs are sub
ject to in this country Ia the first
place, [ have found by close Observa
ton, that most all the diseases that
hogs are subject to, originate from
worms. The hog cholera that Is so
feared by raisers, is caused by small
worms that breed in the stomach of
| hogs when their digestive organs are
| deranged by foul or sour stomach. The
SOW when she is sucking her pigs, will
sometimes get off her feed, and after
her pigs are taken away from her, she
still refuses her feed until size gets very
poor and restless. They sometimes
have a craving appetite for meat or an
imal food, and when so, have q very
sour and foul stomach. The acid Oh
their stomach has so effected their teeth
that they cannot eat grain if they had
an appetite. Hogs in this fix, I have
found to be infested with large white
worms. Pigs with the mango are in
tested with the same kind of worms
The quinsy is caused by worms irritat
ing the throat of the hog and bringing
on inflammation; the blind staggers il
caused by small thread worms in the
head.
Now for the preventive and cure.
have tried, with some success, charcoal
wood-ashes and soft soap. I was finally
led to try common baking soda, stone
coal and cinders, and charcoal made
from cobs and old bones. Since then
I have not lost hog with the disease
neither have had SOW to get off hel
feed when sucking her pigs, and ru1
down poor.
To prevent worms in hogs, take TO.
forty hogs, one pound of soda, ont
pound of salt, One-half busheI of Or,
corn meal, mix well, give this amour
twice week give them stone Goa
ashes and cinders, and charcoal mad
from cobs and old bones once a week
If your hogs are sick with the cholera
or have lost their appetite, give then
the same amount of soda twice eac
day dissolved in sweet or sour milk 70
three or four days. Let me assure yo
my readers, if you follow strictly m
direction, to prevent worms in you
hogs, you will have no sick hogs, no
poor sows with no appetite. The sod
will neutralize the sour stomach, an
the stone coal ashes and cinders an
charcoal made from cobs and old bones
will keep your hogs hearty and healthy
Pigs with the mango should be tho
oughIy cleansed and washed in soaI
+ suds, and then treated as hogs with th
cholera Cor. Farmers Journal
