CARE OF SWINE.
Unsanitary Surroundings the Cause of All
Contagious Hog Diseases


As every effect has its producing
cause, it is well to ascertain if possible
the cause of certain prevalent diseases
among hogs. 1t is now well estab-
lished fact, that all zymotc or contagi-
Gus diseases among human beings have
their origin in unsanitary conditions
and surroundings. The large majority
of the aforesaid diseases are rightly de-
nominated filth diseas esq Doubtless
this term is as true in relation to hogs
as to men. Pure air, water and food
are as essential to the health of
brutes as well as their masters Take
hogs, for instance, that are kept under
barn whore it is constantly dark,
damp and filthy; this is sufficient
cause during the hot days of summer
to develop 'hog cholera" No wonder
that some hogs, however proof natural
ly against disease, succumb to such in
fernal environments! For weeks and
months lying in a semi-putrid puddle of
filth, breathing the poisoned air, with
little or no exercise, the marvel is that
any of them can survive till released
from their bastile Imprisonment by the
IiCiSii'I hbI1S VI olC DuttucI. w ldL
wonder that some hogs in such pens
should occasionally develop cholera
plantation from which the cholera mi
crobes 60 forth on their mission of
death through the whole country, at
lacking in their flight even hogs which
are kept in clean pens and have whole
some surroundings.
Would it not be we'll to have health
commission for animals, and thus COM
pei ignorant and careless men to do
their duty in this regard? Hogs should
not only have clean pens, but they
should have yards, or, better still, lots
i'll which to exercise their muscles,
especially when young. Trichina, l
am convinced, has its orr gin in an in
famed, equity and Notwithstanding
condition of the muscular system, in
duced by want of exercise in pure air.
Suppose q hog does fatten a little
faster when deprived of exercise and
kept in dark place? What gain is
that if we must eat diseased pork as the
result at the risk of our lives? The
best pork the writer of this ever put in
barrel was raised and fattened on
sanitary principles. Even if he did not
get quite so many pounds of lard, he
had pork that was free from the smell
pr taste OF filth and the faint of disease

Peat is Well-known substance,
ased both for manure and for fuel. In
its natural state peat is of little or no
service as manure, but by exposing it to
the effects OF fermentation it becomes
very useful as food for plants. In it's
unfermented state it contains a consid-
cradle quantity of tannin, which is
powerful astringent, resisting all APP
proaches to putrefaction, and is impreg-
mated with acids injurious to vegetation,
which can be neutralized by fermenta-
ton with barnyard manure or soluble

NEW YoRK. Aug. 24.-Police Captain
Conlin of the East Eighty eighth street
station, sent the following dispatch to
Acting Police Superintendent Steers this
morning
Kate Stab, a German nurse girl. set
fire to a room in the basement of No. 2IS
Eightieth street. The owner smelled the
smoke aud traced it to her door. When
be entered her room to put the FIRE out,
he discovered the body OF a newly born
child on a charred and burning bed. 1t
vas half consumed by flames. The sex
Of the child could no longer be distin-
guished. An examination showed N deep
cut on the child's head that had killed it.
The police put the woman under arrest
and summoned the coroner. Appearan-
ces indicate that Katherine Stab killed
the child and attempted to chop it up for
the purpose of cremating it in the kitchen
stove, but found it. ever after mutilating
it. too large, and SO built a funeral pyre
Of the pillow on her bed, and lighted it on
the floor. She persisted in a declaration
of her innocence, and utter ignorance of
the crime. and says she awoke to find the
bed on fire. A surgical examination
proved, however, that she had recently
become a mother. The child had been
born alive from appearances, and killed
with the blow of a sharp instrument that
nearly severed the. head from the b .dy.
The prisoner lived for several months at
239 East Eightieth street, where she
passed for the wife of Otto Williams, a

Nowhere in the West, or in the East,
will be found a greater number of private
carriages and buggies, according to the
population, than in Cheyenne. The su-
perior style and finish of these vehicles is
a surprise to strangers who are ignorant of
the fact that this city has one of the most
extensive carriage manufactures in the
country. The Cheyenne Carriage works,
corner Eighteenth and O'Neil streets,
have, under the superintendency Of VIM.
Richardson, attained an enviable reputa
ton for strictly first class work. far superior
to any that is turned out elsewhere. And it
is well to remark right here that it is
necessary to have an extra grade Of work
manship on all vehicles to be used
in this altitude. because of the dry
ness OF the atmosphere and the CON
sequent liability of the woodwork oshrink
and spoil. Our people have tried Eastern
work and they have learned from bitter
experience that it doesn't pay. There
fore they buy the best grade of carriages
manufactured right here. which are sold
with a guarantee of the manufacturers.
Superintendent Richardson. nf the
Cheyenne Carriage works, uses nothing
but the best material of all kinds in the
manufacture of his vehicles. the best sea
soned wood, the finest leather and steel
and the best of imported cloths. The
company has recently largely reduced the
prices OF all wagons and carriages now on
hand, and now is the time to purchase
6rst-class vehicles at low prices. There
are on exhibition and for sale in the store
rooms of the factory top buggies, phae-
tons, surveys. carts, ranch buvgies, road
wagons, the Whitney buckboards, two
seat Concord wagons, etc, all of which are
offered at reduced prices.

SEBAGo LAKE. Me-, Aug. 24.-James
q. Blaine made a speech here to-day,
opening the political campaign in this
state, for the Republican party. Alter
reviewing the fact of the induction of the
Democratic party to power, the speaker
touched upon the record made by con-
g,ess, and declared that from the record,
il was shown that the policy of protection
versus free trade was an issue shaped and
determined no longer by sectional pre fer
ence, but had become general and ma
tional, affording a distinct, well marked
line of division between the Republican
and Democratic parties. He contended
that the hostility Of the Democratic party
to protection, had entailed upon the coun
try vast loss, and IN many ways INSTRUCTED
the progress and development of certain
sections.
Blame gave a statistical com parison of
the financial condition of the working
classes prior to the enactment of the first
protection measure as compared to to-day.
He spoke OF the labor question, contend
ing that a man who could by any prescrip-
ton remove the discomfort, and at once
restore harmony and happiness, would be
a philosopher, patriot and statesman.
The mar who processes to do it, the
speaker said, would generally prove to be
a compound OF empiricism and ignorance.
Perfect freedom TO test virtues and
and secure the advantage of organization
to exert strong power through combinat
tion,' said the speaker. ARE certainly
among the common rights of all men un
der Republican government" He said

CARNATIONS how under the rule of free
trade could wages in the United States be
kept above the general standard of Euro
pcan wages. He also dwclt upon the fact
that the colored men Of the South were
developing into artisans. and il free trade
prevailed, white labor would not only
come into competition with the highly
skilled and miserably paid labor Of
Europe but the colored laborer would
remain subject to the will Of the white
men, receiving Inadequate compensation
for his own toll and steadily crowdipg
down the compensation of the white
laborcr.
Regarfi,g the Cutting case, the speak,r
said in contrast with the patient endur-
ance with the Canadian outrage was Il c
unnecessary and undignifed display Of
violence and bravado towards Mexico. -
He declared that when the United States
consented to accept arbitration AS a means
Of adjusting difficulties with England, the
government was under bonds to the public
opinion of the world to offer arbitration to
any weaker powers as means Of settling
difficulties, otherwise we placed ourselves
in the disreputable attitude OF accepting
arbitration with a strong power and re-
sorting to force with a weak power. There
was no adequate cause for the demonstra
ton. 1--WE can't" said the speaker,
