Some Hog Cholera Remedies.

From the National ,Stockman.
1 read numerous articles on hog cholera,
and will write my experience with that
disease. Last year l had eighty stock hogs,
and some sixty fattening hogs, the shoats
weighing rs to so lbs. The large hogs
did not take the disease, but the shoats
took it, and / sent to hog doctor for his
remedies. The shoats commenced dying,
dropping off from November till January,
the medicine doing no good. then tried
the following remedy: Carbolic acid, 100
pound hog, 10 drops; 5O-pound hog, 8
drops; 25-pound hog, drops. made a
barrel of swill, put in the ingredients, and
saved the majority of the shoats. They
cannot stand cold, but must be housed
comfortably. Carbolic acid is a deadly
poison.
The State of Illinois offered the Board
of Physicians large reward for remedy
for the disease. This is the remedy, and
no secret is made of the matter; Bicarbon-
lite soda, one pound; capsicum, or cayenne
pepper, II pound; resin, one pound. Put
these ingredients in barrel, make swill,
and feed three times day.

WHEN I AM SLEEPING.

When beneath the cold red earth am sleeping,

That I'm no more?
VIII there be any heart still memory keeping
Ofheretofore?
When the great winds through leafess forests rush

Sad music make;
When the swollen streams, DER crag and gully gush
ing,
Like full hearts break,
Will there be one whose heart-despair is crushing
Mourn for thy sake?
When the bright sun upon that spot is shining
With purest ray,
And the small flowers, their buds and blossoms
twining,
Burst through that clay
WIN there be one still on that spot repining
Lost hopes all day?
When no star wrinkles with Its eye of glory,
On that low mound,
And wintry storms have with Their ruins hoary,
Its loneness crowned
win there be then one, versed in misery's story.
Pacing it round?
II may be so; but this is selfish sorrow
To ask such need
A weakness and wickedness to borrow,
From hearts that bleed,
The wailing of to-day, for what tomorrow
Shall never need
Lay me then gently in my narrow dwelling.

And though thy bosom should with grief be SWELL

HEART-HUNGRY.

Hcart-hungry, and OF so tired of aconstantwarwi
fate
wearied by daily struggles with surroundings thai
we hate
No peace no rest from longing still watches O.
the night
Give no respite from the torturing thoughts thai
waken with the light
Day in day out night after night no matter how oil
when
We try to scape the shadow or forget the restless
pain
To aching heart and weary brain there comes the
old, old story
at might have been"-but so we lost ifes browning
glory.
To you, perchance. Hope gave her brightest
smiles
Love and Ambition lured you on with gay coquet
fish wiles;
Knowledge, with tenfold power, spurred you on to
win the race,
And Fortune beamed upon you with her charming
winsome face
Life seemed full of promise, so free from care and
thrall,
That you never thought of trouble or that on you IL
could fall.
All, me the sorrow Of that fear and joy should
end,
That heart and mind and body meath burdens
strong must bend.
Too strong to break, they only sway and bend be-
meath the blow
That shattered all your happy dreams and gave
their place to woe.
Hearts do not break, though filed with deepest
blacklist grief
Nor will oblivion at will to give the brain re-
lief
Oh the pity of it that one must suffer- yet be
strong;
Must bear brave and smiling face through hours
dark and long,
Nor seem to yield the battle to stern, relentless
foe,
Though the brain is taxed to madness and the heart
is filed with woe.
at might have been"-'it cannot be'--were ever
words so cruel
As those that crushed your dreams and hopes, and
robbed you of your jewell
Love? Crushed and dead. Hope? All gone for
ever;
Ambition Not dead, but slumbering. Faith
All, never
More to cheer the weary will she sing the old re-
frain,
For the waking hours are dreary and the nights are
filed with pain.
To aching heart and burdened brain she tells the
old. old story

varieties that are just the same with u.s.
The idea prevails to some extent that North
ern stock does not suit our climate. We
answer that if stock is propagated in Canada
or in Georgia, it makes little if any differ
ence. We do not want the climate to stock
from; what we want is the variety of fruit
that suits our climate. By properly noting
the result of our first adventures, and dis
carding such varieties as will not suit our
long season and mild autumns, and by let
ting the new novelties and high-painted
colors, and high priced stock, of which
three out of five are failures, pass by, and
try to ascertain what is sure and safe, we
should have plenty Of fruit. As to what
varieties suits our climate we should select
only such as have been tested and have
proven success, in our latitude, that would
embrace any variety that natures South of
Mason and Dixon's Line. Most of the
varieties that have proven successful North
of that line mature too early with us and
decay before cool weather sets in. To
prove this examine the time of maturing
of the Early Harvest and Astrachan, two
of our early varieties, and you will see there
are from five to ten days difference between
Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland and
Delaware. This will apply to any other
variety as well. Now should farmer set
apart two acres out of farm of fifty acres
for fruit, and secure good keeping varieties
for late fall and winter market, is it not
clear that it will prove paying investment
and one that-is worthy of immediate at
tention. As rule we have in the past
let our money that should have been kept
in our own State be spent elsewhere, just be-
cause we do not take hold of such enter
prises as we should We are fully able to
compete with any opposition we may meet.
If other States can grow fruit and ship it
here at paying prices to them, we certainly
can grow it with home market and make
it pay well. A CONSUMER

How to Build a Cistern.

The following directions for construct
ing a cistern are worthy of all acceptation.
We find them in an Indiana paper. "In
the first place, there is no economy in dig
ging a small cistern. Make your cistern
not less than eighteen feet deep, jug shape,
twelve to fourteen feet across at the widest
place. Cement as usual, on brick wall
Let it dry pretty thoroughly; and, if neces-
sary, put down fire of charcoal in an IRON
ing furnace, or something of the kind, ito
help dry it. When the cement is sufcien-
tly dry, give the whole surface coat of
boiled oil and yellow ochre paint, adding a
little Japan drier-any good painter will
know the proportion. This coating should
be put on with a good, stiff whitewash
brush. Let this stand until dry enough to
wash off After it has become safely dry
let the water in until about half full, then
in few days have it pumped out to take
the taste of paint out; and then you can
depend upon these great points: Your
cistern will never leak; the water will never
become hard by coming in contact with
the cement; the water will never ooze in
from the out side soil; there will be no in
sects or animalcnl@ in it. The oil paint
finally makes the cement wall as hard as
glass, and perfectly impervious to any leak
age either from inside or outside | have
never built a cistern in any other way;
have never had leaky one; nor has the
water ever become the least bit hardened
from the cement, but it is always clear as
crystal" As for clearness, no doubt the
ordinary precautions, would be necessary
to prevent the admission of impurities from
above Commercial Gazette.
