WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Judge Ray, of Louisiana

Cure for Hog Cholera

Being q ply ysician, l studied
carefully the nature of the disease,
and came to the conclusion that cal
omel possessed all the properties re-
quisi.e to meet the disease in all its
forms. My mode Of usirs it is t"
to take about ten grains to each hog,
and mix it in a little chop feed or
bran, and give it whenever you find
your hogs begin to cough, md rer
peat this every day for a week, and
and at any time when you find them
coughing, you can give one dose as
above. Ifyour hog is past eating,
catch it and give it twent. grains by
making it into pill with a little
-four, and, by means Of n stick, put
it down the swallow, and you need
pay no more attcrtion to it. l pre-
sent this as a perfect cure, and re-
commend all hog raisers to give it a
fair and impartial trial.

Chinese ,yheat Fields.

Many readers will be surprised at
the following assertions in the AZ, Y.
Bulletin in regard to wheat fields in
China:
Some of the Cinnamon who have
been forced to return to their native
country, learned while here to pre-
fer wheat to rice as the staple ar"
,cle of food, and have for some
time paid considerable attention to
its cultivation. 1t is now said that
their home production is increasing
so rapidly, that there will soon be a
surplus for export So careful and
close is Chinese agriculture, that the
wheat never yields less than forty
bushels to the acre, and % cents a
bushel pays well. Some authorities
have figured out that China has tie"
times the available area for wheat
culture that the Pacific States pos.
sesses, and that the labor costs but
n quarter as much. Some, but prob
ably groundlcss, fears have been ex"
pressed that China may become the
formidable competitor of California

Farmers Bows.

For farmers, the country wants
the most energetic, thoroughgoing
and wide awake boys that can be
found. Hence, if a boy is blessed
with that crowning concomitant
which moves the world-brains-
let him become a farmer. Brains
constitute the great desideratum in
agricultural science at the present
day. Fifty years ago muscle was the
essential requisite. Fifty years ago
farmer was expected to perform
every manual labor of the farm by
the exercise of muscular force,
while at the present day he needs
brains more than muscle to enable
him to manage labor-saving tools
and implements with skill and
efficiency. When the iabors of the
farm were nearly all performed by
the laborious and fatiguing applica-
ton of human force, farming was
irksome and drudgery. ut now.
when teams and steam p wer re.
sound to the bidding Of the tillcr of
the soil, agriculture is the most agree
able pursuit one can lesire. True,
al some seasons of the year farmers
are required to labor early and for
several days. Then, again, perhaps
for weeks they will have easy times.

THE JOB PRINTERS STRIKE.-m Yesterdays
STAR it was briefly stated that the job printers
OF the city had struck in consequence of the
employers having decided to reduce the com
pensatiOn to 20 cents per 900 ems or 80 cents
per hour, TO take effect yesterday. At the meet
ing at which they liked this scale the employ
ers adopted resolutions recting that as they
believe the printers union is controlled by en-
ployeS OF the government printing Office, and
the rules established and maintained by said
union are OnerouS and detrimental to the pri-
Vate printing interests OF the District, any mo-
dflcdtlOn OF the regulations being denied after
respectful and earnest request made, therefore
the ploprietors OF the private printing offices in
Washington give notice that they will not be
governed in the matters complained of, and
THAI they will maintain these resolutions, in
letter and spirit, until they are reScinded by a
majority OF their number. Gibson Brothers
men are all at work as usual, and they state
that they can get as many men as they want
In some ether OF the job offices the men are at
work as usual-not many, because but little
work is being done. The employers generally
express the opinion that they will have no
trouble In getting as many printers as they
want at the new rates.
