A RATHzR curious episode in natura
history occurred on board the French
steamboat Abd-el-Kader during the
passage from NIarseilles to Algiers.
just as the vessel was about two hours
out the sky became quite black with
swallows. It was then about s o'clock
in the evening. The birds aIighted in
thousands on the sails, ropes, and yards
of the Abd-eI-Kader. After a perky
survey of the deck from their eminences
aloft they descended cooIIy on deck,
hoped about among the sailors, an9
eventually found their way into the
cabins, both fore and aft. The birds
were evidently fatigued after a long
fight, and allowed themselves to be
caught by the people of the ship, who
gave them a welcome reception and pro-
vided them with food, which they en-
joyed heartily. The little winged
strangers remained all night on the
vessel, and in the morning at z o'clock
the whole flock made for land.

HOG CHOLERA.
A Remedy Regarded as Effective
by the Department in Georgia.


A remedy for hog cholera given in
the May bulletin of the Georgia depart
ment of agriculture is. flowers of sui
phur, sulphate of iron (copperas) and
madden, two pounds of each, black anti
mony and nitrate of potassa (Saltpeter).
half pound of each and two ounces of
arsenic. Mix this in this ten gallons of
cruel for 100 hogs or give pint dose to
each hog daily. Give it to hogs both
sick and well where the latter have
been exposed. The sick must be separ-
ated from the we'll animals and both
classes removed to new and clean
quarters or pastures. Burn the
old beds and sprinkle the floors of the
sheds with solution of one pint of
pure carbolic acid to ten gallons of soft
water. All discharges and impurities
should be deeply buried or treated
with solution of one ounce OF chic
ride of zinc to two gallons of water.
The person attending the sick ami
mails should not have anything to
do with the we'll hogs and all food and
water must be clean and pure. If these
directions are faithfully followed the
disease may be stayed and stamped out.
Every farmer should inspect his hogs
and all animals daily. and act promptly
on the first appearance of disease.
AN ILLINOIS LAW.
The legislature of Illinois has passed
an act to extlrpate hog cholera in that
state, the substance of which is as fol-
lows:
An act to eEtirpate and prevent the
spread of contagious diseases among
swine, defines the duties of the state
board of live stock commissioners and
of the state veterinarian upon knowl-
edge of any contagious disease among
hogs. 1t requires rigid investi-
CATION and strict quarantine
of the diseased animals. 1t
also makes unlawful all traffic in such
animals and the carcasses of those that
die shall be burned or buried. The re-
ports made upon the cases discovered
shall be annually classified by the COM
missloners, and all fines col
lected under the penalty clauses
shall be paid into the county
treasury of the county where the suit is
tried. The law makes it the duty of
states attorneys to prosecute violations
of the law, An appropriation of $4,000
per annum is made to carry out the pro-
visions of the act.

RUSSIAN HORSES.
They Are Bred More for Racing
Than Practical Uses.

Russia has more horses than any
other country, says the Western Ag-
riculturist. The Russian horses are, as
a rule, small and cheap. We saw some
very handsome specimens at the Inter-
national show at Brussels. They were
beautiful little horses with long black
name and tail. They were not so tall
as our trotters, but they were we'll
muscled and are good trotters and run
ners.
We saw in France cross of Per-
cheron stallion on a Russian mare that
was more Percheron than Russian.
showing the stronger breeding Of the
Percherons. The Russians are fond of
racing and breed their horses princi-
pally that way. They have not pro-
crossed far enough in improved agri-
culture and improved stock to
breed practical horses for profit. If
their 2l,OOO,O 900 horses were of the right
kind to suit the markets of the world
what bonanza they would have. As
1t is, the little Russian horse is like our
little American horse-there is no de-
mand for them, while the whole world
wants large draft and coach horses.
