CURE FOR Hoe CHoLERA.-A farmer
who has suffered from the loss ofover one
hundred hogs the past year has q remedy
which he says cures in every case. My n-s
formant is Mr. G.. W. Baker. Chapman's

he breaks box Of concentrated I've into
a barrel of clean water, and when the slye
is dissolved gives it to the hogs to drink. :
He says he had in his feeding lot, q hog E
which would weigh 400 pounds, so near
dead that he thought it useless to- try to
save him, but on second thought said. try
anyhow. So he rolled him on his back and
poured a pint of the liquid down his throat
and in less than an hour the porker was
on his feet, cracking corn nearly as lively
as ever.-Kd1asds Farmer. 9tQ9F iJ5ss

breaking the yelk after they are in. Put
a small piece of butter on each, and sprin.
kle with pepper and salt; set into we'll
heated oven, until the whites are set.
If the oven is rightly heated it will take,
but few minutes, and is far moro delicate
than fried eggs. aaEeH 0t. 70 $50 ssw az

A flock of hens will pay for themselves
befor they are one year old, if they are
rightly cared for. You can then sell them
if you choose, for good price and raise
another lot, but it is not advisable to do so.
