NOTABLE DEATH.
August Belmont, the Wcli-Known
Financier.

August Belmont, OF New York is
dead. The cause OF his death was
pneumonia, resulting from n cold
caught during the recent horse show.
His junior partner said the business
OF the great banking house would be
continued as before Belmonts loss
will be felt in the racing circles ms
much as in the financial world, he al
ways having been an enthusiastic lover
OF thoroughbred horses. AS n poll
tician Belmont was active in the coun
Gil OF the Democratic national party.
He was born in Alley, Germany. in
1917, and came TO New York as agent
for Rothchilds at the early age OF 81,
establishing the great business which
has consumed ever since.

nnlley Food Cor ronltry.

II is oDly recently that clover hay
has beer found TO DO the cheapest and
best winter food for laying hens, and
that by It's use the great difficulty OF
procuring green food - overcome. In
fact, the essential want OF the hens In
winter is not 50 much that OF green
food as OF bulky food OF Il heterogeneous
character. For many years the
writer's and breeders have made
specially of recommending all kinds OF
grains for poultry, the only variation
being that mt certain times some OF IL
was 20 be whole grtins. and Mt other
times soft food was To be given. 1t
did not occur TO them that the effect
OF long-continued diet OF grain was
as injurious TO fowls rs TO cattle. and
that the concentrated grain food gave
the best results when diluted Qf we
may use the expression) with some
kind OF bulky material, which not
only promoted digestion, but also
largely assisted in supplying the
elements necessary for the albumen OF
the eggs which was lacking In the
carbonaceous food OF the grains.
Another important advantage In the
feeding OF clover hay is that 1t abounds
In mineral matter, thus providing
lime in soluble condition for the
shells, and in supplying the bony
structure for the chicks In the eggs.

but-ah-real'y-th quotation we have
had the pleasure of studying is a-taken
from much neglected book-quite equal
to Shakespeare, you know-it is called the
Bible.n
This is the unfamiliar hymn which the
professor expounded. And Nary said:
my soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour
For he hath looked upon the low estate of his
handmaiien;
For behold from hencetOrth, all generations
shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath done me great
things;
And holy is his name
And his mercy is unto generations and genera
tions
On them that fear him.
He hath showed strength with his arm.
He hath scattered the proud in the Imagination
of their heart.
He hath put down princes from their thrones.
Aud has exalted them of low degree,
TIE hungry he hath filed with good things;
And the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen Israel his servant,
That ne might remember mercy
CAS- he spake unto our fatherS)
Toward Abraham and his seed forever"
The fashionable prejudice against the
Bible is % evident to be mistaken. Chart
able associations smuggle it in palatably
saldwiched between Confucius and the
Koran. Religious people of a certain low
type are in a continual state of abject
apology for the Scriptures. Why does not
the pulpit make the Bible more Interestingly
Must the continual contest between "itera-
ture and dogma" go ona If the literary
method is one of the ways of attracting
people to the Bible, take it, Men must
be interested before they are taught. The
Bib. is not dull book, though old-fashioned
theologians have done their best to make it
SO. 1t is more ineligible than Browning.
1t has not SO many dresry pages as Dante.
1t is better history than Macaulay, and
better style than C9ryle. The soag of songs
is at least more moral than Anna kare-
nina" We do not feel that any Jhing is
veltured in saying that if this canto had
ueen uttered by Beatrice i'll tae Paradise,
half the literary clubs of the laud would be

DISEASES OF HOGS.

No. represents case of indigestion.
The owner said that his hogs had some
disease about them, and were affected
very strangely. They did not care to
leave their nests to feed, unless forced,
and then they squealed as if suffering
from pain. When they came to the
trough they would take mouthful as if
they were hungry, crouch, run back
ward. and fall over, but in fifteen min
utes would return to the food and eat as
if nothing was the matter. That is a
clear case of indigestion, and when
slaughtered while showing these sy1np-
toms, the inside Innings of the pigs
stomachs and part of the colon were
found coated with dry substance like
brown -four. Feeding too fine meal
caused the trouble. Whenever plenty
of vegetable diet is given we never find
such symptoms. A rush of blood to the
head was caused by impeded circulation
in the system. This teaches us the need
of albuminous food of laxative nature.

FOOT ROT IN SHEEP.
Directions for Treating This Common and
Troublesome Disease.

Troublesome Disease.
About the symptoms of foot rot we
need not say much; these are unmistaka-
BILE. There is speedy loss of condition,
due both to constitutional disturbance
and to inability to walk in search of
food. No time ought to be lost in at
tending to the animal who exhibits any
sign of lameness, however slight.
The remedies for foot rot are very
varied, and there are dozens of agents,
either alone or in the combination, that
are vaunted as cures, and no doubt cor
rectly so. The selection of a remedy is
not so difficult as to get it properly ap-
Piled They resolve themselves into two
classes. astringents and caustics, and
generally too free use is made of the lat
ter as well as of the pairing knife. 1t is
most essential that diseased structure,
such as loose horn, should be cut away,
and also that free vent should be given
to pus, but no more of the sensitive
structure of the foot should be exposed
than is absolutely necessary, because
there are sure to be fungus growths
Swinging from parts denuded of horn,
and the free use of the knife thus gives
rise to the necessity for the free use Of
caustics or the actual cautery.
Removal to higher, dryer and barer
pasture is most useful step, or, if this
is not practicable, the worst cases should
be put on dry straw in sheds or yards.
In some instances poultice, either Of
bran or boiled mashed turnips or carrots,
proves most useful Taken all round"
says a leading English veterinary sur
geon, there is no better remedy than
sulphate of copper-common blue stone
or blue vitrioP-and most dressings are
largely composed of this agent. In mild
casesa saturated solution of the sulphates
of copper and zinc poured into the af-
fected parts is most efficient. Equal
parts of butyr of antimony and COM
pound tincture of myrrh also make
good dressing when applied with feath-
er or brush to the diseased parts. In Sc.
we're cases the strong mineral acids are
used, especially the nitric. with quick
silver dissolved in it.
On farms where the disease is preva-
lent the sheep are periodically driven
through shallow troughs containing a
solution of arsenic and soda, and if the
feet are carefully pared and the atten-
ton is constant, this is one of the best
methods of prevention yet devised; but
where the disease is already established
the individual method of treatment Of
fers the best prospect of success. We
may sum up the treatment thus: Get
the sheep under shelter or in dry pas
ture. Pare the feet judiciously and
apply a liquid dressing varying in
strength with the progress the disease
has made and the necessity for remov-
ing fungus granulation. Follow this up
by using an ointment every day COM
posed Of one part boric acid and seven
parts of lard, and adopt every possible
means for keeping the feet clean and
dry, which is very much more easily
said than done.
