transaction in consideration of Cunningham
getting him information about how much sill

Cunningham he could afford to pay
his debt If the information was secured.
Cunningham was broker and pro-

expenses, paid the 500 for nothing. Owenby

Donald still held the note and had never paid

An old breeder Of swine SAYS that
when pigs begin TO cough they are

be physicked. but simply to produce a
light, easy, laxative discharge. and this
should be done in good weather. Civ
ing sulphur in wet, damp weather will
only have tendency % increase the
eold and cough as the sulphur opens
the pores IN the skin and they easily
take cold when in this condition IL
the bowels are eonstipsted. EPSON
salts may have TO be given with the
sulphur. as eoustipated bowels are
sometimes hard to move. ana II left in
this condition fever sets in. gradually
getting worse and the hog dies. Two
tabiespooofuls of EPSON salts and a
small tablespoonful Of sulphur should
be dose sufficient to remove the OBJ
struetion in a bad eonstipated case.
However. Judgment should be used. as
the size of the hog and the severity of
the case must be considered The cold
should<disappear in . few days. and the
bowels kept regular that the cough
