Suggestions Relative To Hog Cholera


In view of the loss sustained by the
pork raisers of this state from the raw
ages of Hog Cholera (Swine Plague,
it is deemed expedient at this time to
call your attention, and through you
the attention of the community in which
you live, to the Importance of taking
active measures to prevent its further
spread.
If the disease has prevailed in your
locality, l wish you would call the at
tentioE of the owners of injected prem
ises to the need of a thorough cleaning
and careful disinfection, for it is an es-
tablished fact that its germs will both
live and multiply in old straw piles,
manure heaps and similar substances.
After disposing of ali such material,
either by blowing under, burning or
storing IN a secluded place, the pens
should be thoroughly cleansed by wash
ing with {. solution of carbolic acid in
the proportion of five pounds to BAR
rel of water, or copperas, (Ferri
sulph.) twenty-four pounds to the same
quantity of -water. Burning sulphur in
the pens with the doors closed also has
a wholesome effect After disinfection
the doors andwindows should be thrown
open, and light and air freely admit
ted. But so great is the vitality of the
virus that even with all possible pre-
caution and the most careful disinfeetion
there is stial danger of the disease re-
appearing, and in some instances it has
been found advisable to abandon the
keeping of hogs for season.
If the disease appears or is now prev
Client in your neighborhood, the effort
should of course be directed to prevent
its spread, for this purpose all comma
nication between healthy and diseased
herds should be at once suspended.
Visiting infected premises out of curios-
ity or for the purpose of gaining infor-
nation has in several instances cost our
farmers dearly; for, unfortunately, on
their return home they not only carried
with them some Knowledge of the symp-
toms of the disease, but about their
cloths and on their soiled shoes lurked
its germs ready to perform their deadly
work.
The carcasses of diseased hegs should
be buried deeply and not sold for
rendering. Wagons employed by such
establishments have done great harm
in some parts of Illinois by carrying the
infection from one place to another.
Running streams should be avoided, as
the disease frequently spreads along
their courses.
When the disease makes its appear
ance in herd the sick hogs should be
separated from the healthy; in SO doing
always remove the healthy from the
infected pens.
Treatment of the sick is not generally
advisable, but it is well to give those
that have been exposed to the contagion
ten drops of pure carbolic acid for
every hundred weight of pork, mixed
with the food, the intention being
to fortify the system as much as posi-
bic against the disease.
If your neighborhood is still free

Gen. Miles is not very deeply in

to take charge of that sum, which is to

July Cold and Starvation.

The Servant Girl Problem.

If we learn that a girl has ssgiven
warning to her employer Of her inten-
ton to leave, there is no dishonor in
trying to secure her. But to edo as
we would be done by" to avoid the
least appearance of evil, it is but just
and wise to go first to her present
mistress, and state our wishes, and
make all necessary inquiries.
By seeking the girl privately we not
only degrade ourselves by a dishon-
orable deed, but have the additional
sin placed to our account of tempting,
another to do wrong. If she can be-
once tempted to do wrong she proba-
bly, can be again, and from a useful,
reliable servant you have made her
one upon whom you can place no de-
pendence.
1.-THE laborer is truly worthy of his
hire" and none should object to his
receiving the full value of his services;
but we claim that there should be no
meddling, no mean, underhanded efforts
to buy servants, or steal them from
their employers by the private offer of
larger wages. By advertising which
is open to alone can eventually Sc
cure good help, bat a more open way
is to go to the employer, if sure that
the servant is going to leave or the
mistress is willing she should, and af-
ter learning what is thought to be the
true character Of the employee you
wish to secure, state your terms and
ask permission to see the girl. We
claim that the good old rule shoald be
as scrupulously recognized in dealing
with neighbours servant as IN every
thing else-namely: "Do unto others
as you would that Others should do
| unto you"

Address by England's New Premi or.

The meeting OF Conservative members OF
parliament, called by Lord Salisbury, was
held at the Carlton club house London on
the 18th. The house was surrounded by a
large crowd who gave Salisbury an ova-
ton, Lord Salisbury having formally an
nounced that he had accepted the office OF
prime minis ter said:
he had, on behalf OF the Conserv alive
party, offered the premiership to Lord
Harrington, and the queen had approved
the offer. Lord Harrington, however had
government, but he promised for himself
and colleagues that they would loyalty
support the government formed by the
Conservatives. Lord Harrington had Civ
en- assurances that the Liberal Union
lists would support the Conservative
government ION every question con
corning the maintenance and integrity
OF the empire" So far as the Irish policy
OF the government was concerned. Lord
Harrington had promised that the Liberal
Unionists would ''give any measure pro-
posed by the government for the redress of
Irish grievances, a most careful considera-
ton" Concerning this subject, said the
premier, II would inform the meeting that
in any scheme OF reform contemplated in
the machinery OF the Irish question
will use my best endeavors to obtain the
cooperation OF the marquis OF Harrington
The Liberal Unionists have reserved to
themselves freedom OF action outside these
limits. but | need scarcely say that we can
reckon on their support against vexations
and factions, opposition or obstruction,
without the giving OF distinct pledges. The
ministry will forthwith prepare bill to
grapple with the Irish difficulties in the d.
rection OF extended local selfgovernment."

Rev: Stephen D. Peet; editor 81 the Ameri.
can Antiquarian. spent two DAYS recen
investigating the Indian. mounds arol ID
Delayan Lake, Wis. He found some re
markabie and interesting effigies at Lake
Lawn, and furnishes the following report
to the Delavan Republican:
There il no doubt that the. like was a
iavorite resort with the Mound Builders
and the prehistoric races as well as with
the modern inhabitants. The lows Of beau
" and the delights of natures lovlipess
were az strong with them as with u.s. It is
singular fact that they chose the spot for
the erectionnof their massive earthworks
which is now selected for the cottages OF the
campers, and the effigies- are now seen in
close proximity to these modern struc-
lures.
The visitor may have noticed series of
ridges at Lake Lawn, but it iss not likely
that any OF them have realized the variety
OF symmetrical figures which lie hidden
back OF these rude shapes. The plotting OF
these has revealed the fact that they are
IN the shape OF birdsr turtles, and other
animals, and that many of them were orig
lnally very accurate immitation The
writer has discovered at least
There are, however, several effigies
which have been obliterated.. The object
OF the group is unknown. and yet the num-
Der ;oi the. efigies is in itself quite remarka-
BILE. It is seldom that.so many eftigies are
found in the same space OF ground. There
are here about thirty-seven large effigies,
all OF them confined to the space OF five
acres and are. SO thick. together that
they make, the ground extremely
rough with. their, protuberances. The
size OF the efhgies< vary from fifty
to $50 feetin length, and thirty to fifty feet
ln'width, and the. birds, seneralIy preserve
their natural proportion. Although the
effgies are SO large that their shape may
eEude the eye and make it difficult for an
ordinary person to trace them out, yet the
plotting and drawing OF the figures will
readily show the design. Itshould be said
however, that some OF: them have been
nearly obliterated owing to the
treading- OF cattle FOR the last
forty. years, and the stranger
must not expect too. much. The presence
OF campers has had a. tendency to wear
them down.. It is well that one who is ac-
qnainted with the.subjeet and who knows
the shapes which the, effigies had before
they were run down., is able to visit them
and make plot of tham, for in few years
this will be lmpossible.for any one to do.

Another Sea Serpent Yarn .

A dispatch from Gnahar, Mont, says
that driver for the Wakefield & Haynes
Stage company, and two tourists, while
near Yellowstone lake in the National
Park, saw a most remarkable monster.
1t was an enormous reptile which they say,
while running through the grass, carried its
head ten or fifteen feet above the ground
and which they think must have been thir-
ty-five feet or more in length. Their
strange story created a great deal
OF excitement at the mammoth hot
springs, and a large party started in
pursuit OF the monster. A few days ago
party OF gentlemen, among whom
were Col. West, superintendent OF the park,
Capt. Barronette, assistant superintend-
ent, while near the cave OF an extinct
geyser in the vicinity OF the lake, heard u
loud kissing in the crater, and after few
minutes the head OF the reptile was thrust
out about fifteen feet, but Immediately
Withdrawn. It has not been seen since,
but parties are on the lookout for it. The
leviathan is supposed to make his home in
the lake and vicinity.

Natures Beauty-Works of Art.

The magnificent scenery adjacent to

from tourists and others. A love Of the
beautiful in nature inspires in the hu-
man soul higher resolves, more grand
and ennobling ideas, and lifting the in
diyidual from the groveling sphere Of
mortals, carries his imagination upon
the wings OF fancy, and. soaring among
the heecy clouds of the sublime, leaves
him among the gods. How supremacy
beautiful, how magniicently grand are
the reveries of the lover of nature in
his wanderings. Left alone in the
midst of natures garden, strewn with
flowers and carpeted with yelyety grass.

but rejoices in the magnificent

in q more limited degree, does ope turn

of art. We are forcibly reminded of
the grandeur and beauty of Ogden
mountain scenery Yesterday, by being
shown some Photographic views OF
scenes By Mr.. J. Smith, the artistic
photographer of this city. Mr. Smith
has recently taken some really fine
views of mountain scenery N this
vicinity, one being a view of the
falls in Waterfall Canyon: an
o:her is from q scene at the
mouth of Ogden Canyon. Mr.. Smith
has been north on a photOgraphing
tour and returned on Tuesday evening
Among other views he has an elegant
picture OF Logan Temple. The view Is
taken from a point northeast Of the
Temple and gives the best outline Of
that magnificent structure we ever
saw. The towers stand out in bold re
lief against the sky, the walls of the
building are perfect, every stone being
shown in minute detail; while the trees
and grounds surrounding the Temple
present an almost lifelike appearance.
The artist secured one of the finest neg
atives that was even taken of this build
ing and Justly feels proud Of his achieve
ment. We agree with him when he
says that it is one which would be diff
cult to duplicate and congratulate
him on the success OF mis- undertak-
ing. MessTs. Smith & Careswell Will
have these photographs, together with
others on sale throughout the Terri
tory. The photographs make pictures
of from 20x30 10 30x40 inches in size,
and will ere long adorn the walls OF
many Of the citizens Of Utah.
