Cholera Rags.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Treasury
Department has been informed by one of
its agents on the Canadian border that
paper rags supposed to have been collected
in the cholera infected districts of Egypt,
Turkey and Southern France, are being i'm
ported into the United States through
Canadian ports. They are described as of
low grade and likely to contain disease. A
large lot was recently shipped to this coun-
try from Liverpool

their strongest expletives when speaking Of
us as nation, and are not at all compliment
tary to our good qualities. They had higher
prices and Kept them up longer than the other
exhibitors. and the mark down of twenty per
cent on all goods, was TO them like wearing .
badge of disgrace. One of the best features
of the exposition has been the excellent music
provided. The Hungarian Gypsy Band played
with a spirit and abandon-especially when
rendering their national airs-which flled
Washington Hall with delighted crowds
week after week. The organ concerts
have also added TO the pleasure of visitors,
as we'll as the fine execution of the Ameri-
can Band of Boston. For the past ten days
the price of admission has been reduced to
25 cents. and all goods are marked at cost.
1t was strongly hoped that the exposition
would be removed to Chicago, but the
arrangements were not made and all the for.
eign goods will be sent home direct from
Boston.
1t is surprising to notice how many people
from Maine one meets on the streets in Bos-
ton, and how frequently their names appear on
hotel registers. Business men came to select
stock from the immense wholesale houses and

Coarse Food tor Pigs.

A recent subscriber wants advice how
to feed pigs of 25 to So pounds weight,
that are to be kept over winter and fitted
for sale at about six months old-whether
coarse TODD will not help them as much in
winter as in summer. How roots and
pumpkins will answer in lieu of grass,
and what can be fed when this green food
is gone? He has had poor success in
growing young pigs on corn alone. He
has reasonably warm pen tor winter.
The question of food is constantly re-
curing. and this is one of the best evil
dences of the advancement of the country
in the feeders art. When people are
making no inquiry as to improved methods
in any direction, no progress can be made.
There has been more progress made in
the philosophy of feeding during the last
thirty years than in the century and half
previous.
In pig feeding in the dairy districts,
young pigs generally grow up in very
healthy condition, owing to the refuse
milk OF the dairy. which furnishes the
principal food of young pigs. Skim-milk
contains all the elements for growing the
muscles and bones OF young pigs. This
gave them good, rangy frame. and when
desired. could be fed into 400 or 500
pounds weight But the fault attending
this feeding was, that it was too scanty to
produce such rapid growth as is desired
1t took to long to develop them tor the
best profit. 1t had not then been discov-
cred by the farmer that it costs less to put
the first hundred pounds on the pig than
the second, and less for the second than
the third. ETC.. that it was much cheaper
to produce 200 pounds of pork in six
months than in nine and IL months. When
it became evident that profit required
more rapid feeding, then they began to
ply them continually with the most concen-
trated food-corn meal or clear corn. If
this was fed in summer. on pasture. no
harm was observed, for the grass gave
bulk in the stomach, and the pigs were
healthy and made good progress. But if
the young pigs were fed in pen in winter
upon corn meal or clear corn, the result
was quite different; this concentrated food
produced feverish symptoms, and the pigs
would lose their appetite for few days.
drinking only water, which, after awhile,
would relieve the stomach, and the pigs
would eat vigorously again. Now, had
they been fed few quarts of turnips. car
rots, beets tr pumpkins, to give bulk to
tn stomach, and separate the concentrated
food, no harm would have come. This
gives the gastric juice free circulation
through the contents of the stomach, the
food is properly digested and applied to
the needs of the body, instead of causing
fever by remaining in the stomach

point thlrty-two degrees below the
freezing point on Fahrenheit's ther-
mometer IS called zero. For that
matter, nobody knows. The Fharen-
heit scale was introduced in 1920
Like other thermometerc scales 1t
was two fixed points, the freezing
point, or rather the melting point OF
ice, and the boiling point of water.
Then Centigrade and Reaumur scales
call the freezing point zero; and meas
ure therefrom in both directions
This is a very natural arrangement
Fahrenheit kept the principle on which
he graduated his thermometers a Sc
cret, and no one has ever discovered
it. 1t is supposed, however, that he
considered his zero 80 degrees be-
low freezlng-the point of absolute
cold, or absense of all heat, either be

melting salt and snow, it was the
greatest degree of cold that he coult

Mr.. Holman. Resolution.

The Holman resolution in regard 70
public lands which has pssse, the
House by . vote Of 256 TO Is is 9
comprehensive and important declars-
tion Of policy. Everybody should IN.
derstand just what il means.
Bys practically unanimous vote,
the Forty-eighth Congress resolves, ID
the first place, that all railroad land
grants which have not been earned by
the fullflment of the conditions speci-
fed in the respective acts, "ought to
DO declared forfeited and restored to
the public domain" This resolution,
Of course, does not affect any particu-
lar grant alleged to be unesrned, ex-
cept as it indicates the prevailing SEN
timent IN the House. Each grant In
question must come up in a seperate
bill, to be tried on its individual
merits.
The second part of the Holman res
olution declares, In effect, that the
whole system of land laws now exist
ing ought 10 be overhau!ed and so
changed IS to open the agricultural
portions to actual settlers only, and to
prevent grabs of public lands of any
kind, whether farming, mineral, or
forest. This involves thorough re.
vision of the Presumption. Homestead,
Bounty, Timber Culture, and other
laws under which private individuals
now acquire title to parts of the public
territory. 1t opens a most difficult
yet important field for new legisla,
tion.
In the third place, the resolution
passed on Tuesday puts the land ques
zion at the front by providing that the
Committee on Public Lands may r..
port Its bills at any time, yielding pre-
cedence only to revenue and appro
pristion measures.
Mr.. Holman's opposition to subs-
dies has been constant and consistent
His acquaintance with the abuses pre-
vailing under the present loose anc
defective system of public land law
has been acquired by personal inspec-
tion of their workings at the West
and wherever Mr.. Holman has trav
eled in pursuit Of information he ha
paid his own way like q man.-Sun.
