The Hsg Cholera.

]. 8. D., of Troy, ILL.,, writes to the
Alton Telegraph as follows:,
The disease is prevalent and very de-
structive in this locality. James Nc
Kitric, near here, must have lost sixty or
seventy head, or say one hundred.
The writer has kept for the last TWEEN
ty years an average of one hundred head
and while his neighbors and those ad-
joinining his farm have lost heavily, he
has never lost hog by this disease.
There must, then, be some efficacy in his
treatment.
He salts his hogs and all other stock
every Sunday and Wednesday, with
about teacupful of pulverized copperas
in four quarts of salt.
This is probably the philosophy of its
efficacy, and twenty years success con-
firms that theory. Cholera in hogs is a
blood disease, as shown by the purple
and red spots on the skin, observed in
many cases, and the deep sores on some
that recover. Copperas is sulphate of
iron, and the iron is an important ingre-
dent of the blood. 1t is its coloring
material, and the most important ingre-
dent to preserve the affinity of its diff
ferent constituents; or, as we say, makes
the blood rich-and the sulphur in the
copperas, by some subtle influence on the
organism, is the universally admitted
remedy for blood diseases which produce
eruptions, such as the purple and red
spots on the skin of the hog, and the deep
ulcers which sometimes result. The
blood thus provided with its most essen
tial element, makes the animal less sus-
ceptible TO the epidemic influence of this
destructive disease.
We feed our stock salt, and all admit
its necessity for their thrift. This fur
nishes, also, an important ingredient for
the serious portion of the blood, but it is
not more essential to the health of the
animal than is iron and the copperasS
can conceive of no other reason for
my protracted exemption from hog chol-
era than this treatment of my herd. 1t
is not recommended IS cure. 1t is too
slow in its effect even if it could be in
troduced into the stomach.

According to the Ohio Farmer, the
recent state election returns on the pro.
posed amendment to the constitution
have caused some surprise and comment
Without discussing the merits of spe
sdog tax, sheep raisers hold the pow
ID their own hands to protect theil
'interests from loss by dogs. Experience
in other states shows the efficiency of q
specific dog tax. A little strychnine
judiciOusfy placed on a mans own
premises, is better preventive or guard
against sheep killing dogs, than any dog
law that would be enacted by the lecis.
lature. The miserable ours that infes,
the country ought to be exterminated.
The farmer not unfrequently needs a
good dog-but good dog stays at home.

v.ius Of Par. Bl.sds.

It may be asked, why not advise the
farmer to get pure bloods to start with 7
We would advise it if we thought the
farmer would think he could afford il,
but if the object is only to increase size
and salableness in market, obtaining
them by crosses is less expensive. As
regards pure large breeds, We will take
say Brahmas, and make q handsome
profit on them when kept for practical
purposes only.
With good shelter and good manage
ment, without overstocking, it will pay
the farmer to either keep pure breeds or
crosses of Asiatics on common stock.
The first cross will increase the size some
fifty per cent. without any perceptible
difference in cost of feed. as large fowl
eats and is quiet, where small bird
being more active, digests food more
rapidly and hence consumes more in
proportion. At maturity we feed eight
anu tci pouHu piiuS uO ElOLC VIAL VIC
feed the smaller fowls.
1t is we'll for the farmer to note the
difference in the prices between common
and Asiatic fowls (when dressed) in the
New York market. Fed in the same
way and prepared in the same condi-
ton, the difference is FIVE to ten cents
per pound in favor of the large birds.
Suppose farmer should use a pure bred
Brahma cock and raise fifty half blood
fowls for market, increasing the size say
two pounds head or one hundred pounds
on the lot; estimating that they average
ready for New York 6 pounds each or
800 pounds, netting Is cents pound or
$AssS So the same number of ordinary
folsk%ould dress but say 200 pounds
or S20-for fifty birds we have net gain
of S25 in favor of the cross by increasing
the size. Five dollars or even ten, for a
cock to produce such results is not bad
investment, and further improvement
could still be made by another cross
with large stock:

The winter food of our fowls consist

The winter food of our fowls consists
of a variety of foods, but we try to give
them liberal supply of green food to
atone for the loss of grass. Cabbage is
given two or three times week, while
turnip tops, such as sprout on the tubers
when laying in the root cellar, are rel
ished by the fowls. The frmer food
consists in occasional weekly feeds Of
whole corn, warmed before being fed,
small potatoes or turnips boiled well,
then thoroughly mashed, and then corn
meal mixed with the mass until it be-
comes thick. 1t should be left until
merely warm, when the meal will have
been steamed we'll. This food will not
only be eagerly eaten by the fowls, but
will do them much more good than feed
ing only on grain foods.

VEGETINE
Will Cleanse Scrofula from the
System.
HONEST OPINION.

MIR. ii K. STEVENS
Dear Sir-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, 1864, with Scroftila which came
out in large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip.
His leg WAS swelled more than twice its natural
size. He had several doctors of high standing in
their professionalism from Boston ard three from
Charleston-withoutg getting a bit better. He MAS
obliged to lie wherever he was planced, for he
had no use of his limbs whatever. When we had
given up all hopes of his living we We're told TO
try vEGETINE., the great blood remedy; and he
had taken il but short time before we could see
great chang. The sores ran so bsd that We had
to change the clothes four or five times u day.
Still, he was getting better; for he cOad move
his limbs and help himself a little. He was soon
able to set up in bed, and, by constant use Of
VEGETINE, il has cured him. He has u lame
leg which he will probably have for life; but we
all honestly believe, if We had used SEGETINE
before we had bothered with those doctors, it
would have saved the use of his leg and restored
1t to natural health. hope all those troubled
with ScrOfua win read this testimony of me and
my son, who is now well and able to speak for
himself. CATHERINE MAH0NEY,

IT IS the rule with the average
legislator, state or National. to
take q leading interest in those
things he knows least about. For
instance Washington dispatch
states that Congressman Baker
{Democrat), representing the 18th
District of Indiana, introduced a
bill providing that any mining
claim located after May 10. 1876, or
sets of claims located together, not
exceeding l 500 feet in all, may be
held by an annual payment into
the county school fund for school
purposes" instead of the annual
expenditures required by existing
laws to he made in work and i'm
provement on the mine. The bill
was sent to the Committee on Mines
and Mining, and if this bad measure
does not remain there, its author
ought to be condemned to serve out
the balance of bis days in the lower
levels of the Comstock. This bill
is evidently a Democratic shortcut
to little cheap political capital in
the educational way. 1t is too thin.

Financial Crisis in Frisco.

TluuuCI0A vi
SAN Francisco, 27.-Yesterday a
conference of the Mayor, Auditor,
Treasurer, City and County Attor-
ney, and Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Super
visors, was held to devise some plan
to extricate the municipality from
the present financial dilemma. The
various funds of the city are nearly
exhausted, and there yet remains
three months of the present fiscal
wear. Street laborers, whose claims
amount to six thousand dollars
for February, and about eight thou
sand for March, have not been paid.
According to the statement OF the
Auditor, bills are already audited for
every dollar now in the street de-
partment fund, and all that is likely
to come in from collections OF the
present fiscal year under the def
cieny bill which passed the Legisla-
ture. as well. The funds of the
next fiscal year cannot be used to
paw the Indebtedness incurred this
year, hence the street laborers re-
Gently employed cannot be paid for
two wears, unless the Legislature now
in session shall amend the deficiency
bill. The condition of the hospital
and aims house fund is not much
better than that of the street depart
ment. The Industrial School will
manage to get through without seri-
Gus trouble, but the fire department
is in danger of being badly cramped
for lack of means. The result OF the
conference, if any were arrived at,
is not yet made public.
Tax Sales.
The Tax Collector commenced
the sale of property to-day for de-
linquent taxes.
Penalty of HoOdlumism.
Referring to the recent outrageous
display of hoodlumism at Sunday
picnics, Police Judge Louderback
announces his determination to
break up the evil, if possible, by
giving parties convicted of creating
such disturbances, the extreme
punishm ent allowed by law. The
nuisance has grown almost unen-
durable.
