Worms i'm Hogs.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer writes: I'm the years 1857 and
1868 l lost two fine lots of hogs, and
cholera was the disease, so thought by
all, and they died in various ways.
Some died vomiting, and some bled at
the nose till death ended their bleeding;
some cramped until knots raised on their
legs and bodies as large as small guinea
eggs, and others wandered off and laid
down and died seemingly without a strug-
gle. l made careful examination of
sixteen of them, taking those that died
as above stated, and the examination
resulted in the same thing with all.
Worms were the cause. About one foot
from the mouth of the stomach (or
paunch as it is commonly called) the
worms had gathered and perforated the
entrails for about ten inches; the worms
were still hanging about half through,
but all dead when examined, and 1 ex-
amined several as soon as dead.
Now shall we claim the disease de-
scribed as cholera? If SO, keep the
hogs whilst growing clear of worms, and
the dreaded disease of cholera will
cease. This can be done by giving
plenty of strong soap suds, salt and
ashes, copperas, etc. But has not fine
keeping, such as forcing growth, pre-
pairing breeders for shows at fairs, in
breeiing, etc, injured to great extent
the constitutional make OF our hogs;
They are certainly not so hardy now as
twenty years ago, with greater care
given. Hogs that have died here this
season all seem to have lung disease.
But one examination that 1 heard of
showed the lungs to be rotten.

The Canadian SchOOlmarm,

The drudgery of the schoolroom may
drive the schoolmistresses of England
and Wisconsin into insanity and suicide,
but the Canadian teachers thrive and
grow fat ON it. One of the big school
boys of the Dominion asked his teacher
one night if he could escort her home
from singing school, but she politely de-
clined the offer. He neglected his
studies, ran away from school, and put
pins into his schoolmates. She finally
lost patience and gave him fogging.
The boy told his father that the fair one
whom he had courted had turned and
whipped him. The indignant parent
sued the teacher and obtained Judgment
for $3.50, which she paid. The next
morning she remarked to her scholars /:
81 have whipped a BOBBY soundly,
which pleasure cost only three dollars
and half. Now, if any others of my
scholars are inclined to initiate him, they
will have the kindness to step forward,
receive the money and the tlogging, and
then we will go on with our studies.
L am here to instruct you, not to be
courted." Nervousness will never kill
off SO plucky schoolmistress.
