The editor of the Iowa Homestead
maintains that "the only way to prevent
hog cholera is the method of preventing
Asiatic cholera, or smallpox, or typhoid
fever, and that is to prevent the seed
from being sOwn in the herd. The only
way to cure it is to exterminate the seed.
Anything else is 'monkeying with the
buzz saw.
Farmers whose hogs are afflicted with
cholera will, if they are wise, hold on to
all that recover, refusing to sell them at
any price. Further, they will refuse to
buy any hogs that have not had the dis
ease, at any price. Don't take any new
stock on the farm for a year unless you
want to get into trouble. After the dis
ease has run its course, clean up, disin-
feet, raise all the young stock you can
from the old stock, and wait.-Iowa Home

poorly fed has his indigestion impaired,
so that efforts to force him by subsequent
high feeding only makes the matter worse.
Overlooking with pigs is more com

youIg pig will always be stunted if fed
with all the corn meal it can eat. The

few surfeits the stomach refuses to act

A lively interest now centers in the ac-
ton OF the Cherokee Council called to as
semble in the Indian Territory. 1t will
demonstrate wheather the most civilized
of our Indian nations can effectually leg
islate 10 protect its citizens from the in
roads of the white men. These Indians
have some of the most choice grazing
lands in the West, and syndicate of
millionaire cattle men has been formed to
buy or lease ground for long term of
years of the Indians. In addition to de-
Gliding this question the council will be
called to pass upon the question of per
hitting the building of several lines of
railroads through the Territory. Chief
Bushyhead, who Is a very bright man,
looks upon the condition as one of gravity,
and fears the influence of money, and re
CARDS the nearer approach of white men
as dangerous to the peace and prosperity
of the Cherokee Nation. The people at
large will note with lively interest how
well the Indian at his best can look out
for himself when brought in competition
with his white brother.

The annual meeting of this Prison As
ISOLATION will be held at Atlanta Nov. TO
II, during which time many important
questions of prison reform will be dis
cussed. This association, having among
its officers and general workers many of
our most prominent men, has undertaken
great, philanthr0pic work of a character
calculated to better certain conditions of
society that have too long been regarded
as being beyond the pale of benevolent in
PREVENTION, and the plan contemplates
something other than legal reforms, hav-
ing deep moral purpose to reclaim the
criminal classes. The ASSOCIATION does
not merely concern itself with the con-
struction, sanation, and management of
prisons, but is devoted to a consideration
of the means TO moral instruction, the re-
lation of the press to crime, the value and
effect of prison labor, questions relating
to juvenile and adult reformatories, and
the treatment generally that will tend to
the correction of criminals and the arrest
of crime. The gentlemen interested in
this movement have given careful study
to the problems with which they have to
deal, and there is good reason to hope
that the association will perform a valu-
able service to the public.

Pig Points

Col. Curtis says:
Il had rather chase hog that I have
got to catch to kill for my own use, than
to eat one of those helpless, fat things
that could not get out of your way, and if
turned on its back would stay there till
it died. This is ideal early maturity it
is dyspepsia by the barrel"
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman advises those whe wish TO raise
cheap pork, never to carry hog through
the winter. There is more money in
keeping one animal well for ten or
eleven months, and getting $50 or 400
pounds of nice pork, than in keeping more
animals Is months old and getting no
larger returns.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Exercises of the Salvation Army at central
Music Hall Chicago.

Chicago Times.
Every available seat IN the lower por-
ton of Central Music hall, as well as the
first Balcony, was occupied last night by
an audience composed of unusually in
telligent appearing persons, The pri-
vate boxes were also filed by parties OF
ladies and gentlemen, who evidently
came to witness the farewell exercises of
the Salvation army in spirit of inquiry
as well as through q feeling of curiosity.
The larger iportion of the audience look
ed upon the performers at the evenings
entertainment in much the same manner
as would be the case were they differ
ent species of humorist. Certainly the
antics of many of the red-shirted breth
rem were conducive TO the belief that they
were decidedly eccentric IN their ideas,
to put it mildly, if not actually out of
their minds. About O'Clock the ''army"
formed at the corner of Chicago avenue
and Franklin street and marched with
torchlights and the regimental band
down North Clark street to Central Mus
ic hall 1t Is superfuous to state that
its warriors were numerically guyed on
their way. The exercises were bogus at
the hall at 100 O'Clock by the soldiery
singing The Stars of the Elements Are
Falling" Female Capt. Dukes then
sang the Army Suit of Blue" This gal
liant warrior possesses shrill soprano
voice, which She manipulated with a
good deal of nervousness. The appear
ance of Capt. Walsh, the HalIeiujah

evening, and the captain may be credited
with having scored an instantaneous
success. On being called upon for
song by Maj. Dowdle he sprang to the
front of the plat form with determined
air like a prize-fghter jumping into the
ring. He held his banjo with desper-
ate grip. After scowling heavily at the
audience for few moments, his coun-
tenenance broke into a broad grin. After
| tuning his banjo, he began to sing the
following song.

SALT AND LIME.

Take 2f gallons of water, II pounds of
uuslacked lime and four pounds of salt,
or in that proportion, according to the
quantity of eggs TO be preserved stir it
well several times day, and then let it
stand till the liquor has settled and is
perfectly clear. Draw or carefully dip
off the clear liquid, leaving the sediment
at the bottom. Take for the above
amount of liquid five ounces each of bak-
ing soda, cream of tartar, saltpeter and
boray, and one ounce of alum. PulveriZe
and mix these and dissolve in one gallon
of boiling water, and add to the mixture
about 20 gallons of clear lime water.
This will about half fill the cider barrel
Put the eggs in carefully, so as not to
crack any of the shells, letting the water
always stand an inch above the eggs,
which can be done by placing a barrel
head Il little smaller upon them and
weighing it. This amount of liquid will
preserve $50 dozen eggs. 1t Is not nee
essary to wait to get a full barrel or small
or package of eggs, but they can be put
in at any time they can be obtained fresh.
But the same liquid should be used only
once. 1t is claimed that this process
will keep them fresh for year. As the
water evaporatcs more must be added,
50 that the eggs will always be covered.
THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN PROCESS
Consists III the immersion of the eggs in
a solution of salicylic acid, as follows:
Dissolve salicylic acid at the rate of a
tcaspoonful to gallon of boiling water.
It Is not necessary to boil all the water;
Il larger amount of the acid can be dis
solved in q gallon of water and then
added TO the cold water, but the whole
mixture should be at the rate of tea
spoonful of acid to Il gallon. This soIu-
ton must in no case come i'll contact with
any metal. The eggs are kept immersed
III the liquid.

which does not refer to money sent

corroborated by several OF the large

Cheshire has, during his lifetime, been
cut up into farms averaging about
200 acres in extent, his lordship con-
sidering that a thrifty farmer with
sons and daughters could do excel
lently on q 200-acre farm, while be
would suffer severely on a smaller

each of these homesteads costing
about 80, 500. In addition to this,

OF children on his estate, an anecdote
is told OF his lordship's practical com

anxious to provide mixed schools for
the education OF the farmers and
labcress' children; but after the build
ing had been erected ut considerable
expense he found that the tenant
farmers objected to send their sons to
the Same schools with the Iaborers'
children. Having listened quietly to
the masters complaint, the noble
lord said; "There IS only one way
out OF the difficulty; will send my
own sons to the school, For nearly

attended the school, and, their father
said, "totheiruHdoubted advantage"
