the diseased hogs and penned them
apart. They were fed on turnips and
nothing else, and all of them recover
ed. He says his experiments demon
strated the fact that turnips are not
only cure but a preventative for
cholera. He has impaired the secret
to many farmers in the State, all of
whom found the remedy sure. One
wealthy farmer in Howard county,
Maj. Mellon says, had thirty-eight
hogs afflicted with cholera. He was
advised of the turnip cure, but placed
no faith in it. However, he conclud-
ed to give il a trial, and selecting one
of the hogs worst affected, he put in a
pen alone and fed it turnips. The re-
suit was that the hog recovered and
all the rest died. Major Mellon
states that unless hog is too far gone
to eat, the turnips will cure him.
The remedy is a cheap one and easily
procured, and it can do no harm for
farmers TO give it fair trials.

Major John S. Mellon, a well
known real estate agent of this city,
has a remedy for hog cholera, and so
great is his faith in it thathe has filed
a claim for the $4,000 reward offer
ed by the State for cure for this dis
ease. Major Mellon SAYS that while
acting as commissary in the Confed-
crate army be had charge at one time
of many thousand head of hogs. The
hogs were collected together in Mis-
sissippi, and the cholera broke out
among them. Maj. Mellon, immedi-
ately upon discovering the prevalence
Of fhe disease, began to exert himself
TO save as many as possible. He sep

on hand, also large quantities of tur-
