A good, kind breeding sow, bear
ing ten or more pigs at a litter,
will net more money proportionately
to her owner than a horse or COW
costing much more to buy and more
expensive to keep. With two filters
a year, a sow should double her
value once every six months.

DISEASES AMONG HOGS.

A hog is a very difficult animal to
doctor. 1t is obstinate, and when
this takes the form of refusing to
eat it is almost hopeless. The preva-
lence of cholera among swine makes
hog keepers naturally suspicious of
every disease, and if one pig is sick,
no matter from what cause, no time
should be lost in separating the
others by removing them at once to
a fresh pasture. If a pig is sick
look to the issues in it's forelegs. If
these are closed they should be
opened at once. No hog can be
healthy unless these outlets for the
removal of offensive matter are run
ming freely.

to remain on the ground for five or
six weeks, until the corn is ripened,
and it is then husked. If the wealth
er is wet the ears should be turned
over occasionally, using a potato
digger for the purpose. Very hand
some corn was ripened in this way
last Fall, and yet that season was
one of the wettest eve known in
southern New Hampshire. A very
large amount of corn was planted
in New Hampshire this year to be
treated by the above method.
MOVING CLOVER CLOSELY.
It is very important that clover
land intended for meadow should be
rolled down so that no stones or
other protuberances project above
the surface. If the clover is heavy,
as on good soil it always should be,
much of it will lie down before being
forward enough to cut. In fallen
clover, unless the knives of the
moving machine r set low, the
part cut the way the clover falls
will leave long stubble. This not
only wastes much of the hay, but
reduces the aftergrowth. The nearer
clover is mown to the root, the bet
ter the second cutting. In this
respect it differs much from timothy
or other grass.

Course OF Population,

The quinquennial census Just taken
in Germany reveals the fact that popu.
lation in that country, as In France, Is
nearly at a standstill. When the last
census was taken. In 1880, the nopula.
ton of the empire was reported at IA.
$4,000 souls. we are now told that the
census just taken shows an increase of
4ll,l23, less than per cent. The pop.
ulation Of France has been stationary
Tor some time; Germany now seems to
FOLLOW the example. No increase is
reported from Spain or Italy; thus, of
all the nations with which we have
intimate relations, Great Britain is the
only one which seems to be gaining
population, and how much the gain is
in this case we shall not know TIL the
next census is taken.
The progress of population in this
country has been pretty uniform for
nearly BALI a ee ntury, as may be seen
from the following table:

A Plucky Author,

Julian Hawthorne has the reputation
OF being y man of considerable person,
al bravery, aud there was stlrv told
III the papers some years ago about y
sensation he created in Dresden. He
had been driven from the sidewalk
many and many n time by The German
officers, I'LL finally one day he vowed
that the next, German officer he mel
should at least give HIM all the side.
walk. He soon mel ono, and, neither
being willing to give way, they walked
directly into one another. Neither
would give way. At last the officer
whipped out his sword, hut before he
had Time to use it Hawthorne knocked
him down, snaichcd his sword out of
his hand broke il in two and threw It
into the river. The officer was so dis.
graced BY losing his sword that he
never menuonel it, which saved the
American from Il heavy iiue and i'm
prisonment.

III Is hardly expected that the decade
ending in 1890 will show az large AN
increase as 80 per cent, though ii may.
il will be safer to look for an increase
Of something like % per cent. As the
aggregate population increases the
percentage of increase must naturally
decline. But even so, it seems reason.
ably probable that by the end of the
century we shall still be adding from
one 10 two millions per annum to our
people, while the population of Eu
rope may have come to staudstll.
The anomaly is, OF course, due in
large part to the superior conditions
OF life here, and to the skill with
which government interference with
Individual freedom has been mini.
m'zed in this country. But popula.
ton is like air. 1t will flow into
every vacuum that is created, and keep
ON flowing until The vacuum is filled.
Lapd can support so many people, no
more when that number is reached the
surplus must flow elsewhere. Compar-
ing the area of the United States Tex
elusive of Alaska) with that of the
leading countries OF Europe we find
the perez ntage Of population to area
to be as fellows.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1886-12-01

Considering the close intercourse
between this country and Europe it
does not require much demonstration
TO show that here is an inequality
which will sooner OF later be rectlded /;
that Europe must lose population as
we gain it. aud that many decades
must elapse at the present rate of pro.
erosion before this country reaches
the stage which Germany seems to
have reached, and may be said TO be
full.--S. r. CaY.

ACCFpTJNG THE DOLPHIN

Secretary Whitney has arranged with the
assignees of Mr.. John Roach TO receive the
Dolphin without the proposed litigation in the
Court of Claims. BY this arrangement he
practically gives up the long and unwarranted
fight which he has maintained to the great die
credit OF the Administration and the permanent
injury of Mr. Roach, and acknowledges that
the contractor did his full duty, and that the
ridiculous charge of structural weakness was
never well rounded in fact. This last essential
concession he personally made, we learn, to one
of the assignees and their counsel on Tuesday
and with it the very last plea In extenuation Of
the Administrations course of injustice and
oppression was forsdken.
This places Mr.. Whitney and the President In
an uuenviable hight before the country. 1t re-

TIE SUCCESSJON BILL

The House of Representatives has finally be-
gun the earnest work of legislation, by taking
I'D the Presidential Succession bill. Ii IL
rene dies the admitted defects in that measure.
as brought out in the discussion ycsterday,it
will dsappoint public expectation. In this
matter as in everything else, it shows an in
cIination to do as little as possible. The bill
was mistakenly hurried through the Senate,
and even its author now admits that there are
grave contingencies not provided for in the
measure. One of these is the possible deaths OF
the President and Vice President-elect before
their Inauguration. If, for instance, the Repub-
lican party should elect the President and Vice
President in 1888, and they should die before
their Inauguration, under the bill as it now
Stands a Democratic Secretary of State would
succeed to the Presidency for full term, in di-
rect opposition to the expires; ed will OF the
people. Even If be should be inclined to re-
spect the will of the people, he could not do so
without the consent of the majority in both
branches of Congress as the law providing for
a new election is repealed by the bill. AS shown
in the minority report to the House, 1T was the
expressed intention of Mr.. Madison and the
trainers of the Constitution that there should
be an intermediate election in cases OF vacancy.
The amendment offered yesterday by Mr.
Adams, of Illinois. providing that the election
shall take place in the same year with members
of Congress, would obviate the "periodicity
difficulty.
There are several doubtful questions under
the existing law which ought to be removed
In the minority report on the bill before the
House it is stated that should the President
elect die before his Inauguration it is doubtful
if the Vice President elect would become
President. There can be no better time than
the present to remedy every such defect either
in existing laws or in the present bill, and
amendments for that purpose are pending In
the House They will be adopted if the mem
bers perform Their duty, and the succession
question will thus be finally settled.
