how it was in their neighborhoods and
the reply was that it would be hard fol-
the disease to spread more than it had
because about one-half of the hogs in
their RESPECTIVE eneighborhoods had died

ley and Martins Amber. These sorts
will be sown at once in plats of suitable
size; in order that their comparative
merits, as far as Kansas is concerned,
may be determined.
Atchison Globe: Parties coming from
diferents parts of the state say that the
havoc caused by the disease now raging
among hogs is terrible, and no remedy
has yet been devised that will check it.
There is considerable doubt as to the
true nature of the disease, which
does not resemble the orthodox cholera
in every way. Some who have opened
dead hogs say that the liver is found in a
putrid condition, and others that the in.
terror is filled with worms. A hog gen.
orally dies on the third day after becom.

are selling off their hogs as fast as they

prices.

Miss. Clevl and's Book,

Concerning "George Eliots' Poetry,
and Other Studies" by Rose Elizabeth
Cleveland, the New York Nation says:
"When we disregard the adventitious
interest of the authorship. the work re-
fuses to lose its representative and ill
ustrative characteristics; it remains an
extraordinary book for an ordinary wo-
man to b We written-a woman who is
not q genius, nor even gifted with high
talents, but distinguished among her sex
merely by those qualities which in the
case ola man earn for him the title of the
plain man of the people, A plain man
of the people is by no means an average
man; and this is not q book of an average
woman. In the qualities of mind, in the
practical ethics and ideal of womanly
and manly character it displays, one
sees, as at the domestic hearth of the
republic, the faith, hope, and love in the
habit and practice of which the children
are being nursed in thousands of enlight-
ened humble homes; and in the literary
style, in the intellectual interests and at
tainments exhibited, one sees sign and
proof of the good of female education
among US, for, az has teen indicated, the
authoress is not born writer1her
etyle and substance are the product of
schools. The real pour, the
line Of strength in all these essays, is in
their mortal apprehension, their intutive
certainty in the region of character, duty,
and human association, and in particular
in their senses of the simplicity of the
elements ofvirtue. We may dissent from
position-we may be too exquisite to
agree here, too fond of scholarly exact
ness to be content ttere-but from the
spirit we never dissent. It is the spirit
in which the best of our stock has been

The remark was made by prominent
Aal regarding last years slaughtering.
For the year commencing March l,
1884. and ending March l, 1895, there
were killed 4, So, $50 hogs in the nine
teen pork packing houses ct the stock

Of pork, and it is sent to all parts of the
world, too"
"But that is not al the purposes the

BLESS you, no. The rendering depart
ment is big industry in itself. But the
minor matters-theee of which no ono
would think-go to make up . great
whole. The entrails are cleaned and
sent to the fertilizing works. They are
then blown for sausage. The bristles
are carefully gathered up after shaving,
and sold to the hair man. Trustee Scholl
has twenty acre field southwest of the
yards, where he dries and asserts them,
and, after they are in proper form, ships
them to manufacturers of brushes. They
are also used for thousand new purpos-
es to which they are being applied every
day. The blood has even been sold to
the fertilizers for long time past. 1t is
excellent for that end. But there IS q
new use for it now. Some ingenious
Eastern man has discovered process by
which blood can be hardened and man
ufacturedint buttons, handles for knives
and similar articles. Even that is not
all. We want the hog, body and boots.
We pull off the hard she'll which covers
the cartilage of the foot, and sell it to
