CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

A correspondent Of the Kansas
Farmer says:
"a farmer in the country, extern
sively engaged in the hog business
here and in Marshall county, and
who has suffered from the loss of
over one hundred hogs this year,
has a remedy which he says cures
in every case. The remedy is SO
simple and costs SO little, that /
hope all our farmers will try it, and
report their success. My Informant
breaks q box of concentrated I've
into a barrel of clean water, and
when the lye is dissolved, gives it
to the hogs as drink. A neighbor
WHO had lost some two hundred
hogs this season, tried the cure
with entire success; every one of the
hogs got well, and none been sick
since. He says he had in his feed
ing lot hog which would weigh
500 pounds, SO nearly dead that he
thought it useless to try to save him,
but second thought said. try any
how. So he rolled him on his back
and poured a pint of the liquid,
made stronger than in the barrel,
down lis throat; and in less than
an hour, porker WIS on his feet
cracking corn nearly as lively as
ever"

In social relations there is less decsp-

on as the basis 81 peace.

The woes Of ireland are i~ntolerabl4;
and perhaps no people in the civilized
world have suffered more political OPP
preston. To right these wrongs is a
holy motive. But at the same time pro-
per means should be employed. The
Irish people are neither fitted by expert
ence nor the privilege Of purchasing or
importing munitions Of war, TO carry
on an open rebellion. They should
adopt the best means of effecting good
for Ireland. Open lawlessness is not
one Of these. We are sorry that their
present attitude drives the present gov
eminent from their friendship. for THE
Gladstone ministry is the friendliest to
Ireland that has existed for many a
long year. The Irish themselves are
realizing this. Every day members Of
the land league are making applications
for remission of rent under the land
act. This weakens the land league, and
it is authoritatiyely stated that the
league is rapidly d~issolving in several
counties.
Should peace and security be restored
soon, there is no doubt that Gladstone
will bring forward another reform bill
for ireland. He is great, and the great
can afford 10 be generous. He will over
look the present troubles and strive IN
the hope OF redeeming the people by
wholesome legislation.
