The origin 9t the disease is account

no doubt, was dipLtheria. The
child's mother kept its playthings

the epidemic and the investigation
is that the only safe method of dis

articles handled by persons suffering
from epidemic disease is to cremate

THREE BREEDS OF SWINE,

A recent bulletin issued by the
Louisiana Experiment Station gives
the following result Of their experi-
ments with three breeds Of swine:
There has been more demand for
red Jerseys than for either Of the
other two. The Berkshire and Es-
sex seem to be in about equal favor.
The red Jerseys are great consum-
ers with rapid growth and full de-
velopment in flesh and fat for food
consumed. They are hardy, good
rustlers and prolific, raising as high
as three filters per annum. With
an abundance of food they are rapid
pork makers. They are, however,.
omniverous, and will cat chicken,
lamb or kid, whenever permitted.
This is serious objection to the
small farmer and his good house,
wife. The Berkshires share with
the red Jerseys many of their ex-
cellent qualities. They are excel
lent foragers, and when crossed on
the native give, perhaps, the best
range hog IN the world. They are
healthy and prolific and furnish the
finest "marbleized'' hams. For a
general stock bog they can hardly
be. surpassed. They, too, are in
clined to be carnivorous, and should
not be brought into too intimate re-
lations with young fowls, lambs and
kids. The Essex are emphatically
lot hogs. They are slow and uncer-
tain breeders. They ara somewhat
sluggish, and always tat. They are
gentle, kind and indisposed to ex-
tensive toraging. They can easily
be made to weigh $50 to $50 pounds
when one year old, size admirably
adapted to the table wants of farm
er on small scale.

AS fertilizer for fruit crops we
cannot improve on wood ashes and
bone meal. If the ashes are leach>
ed and literally applied, say at the
rate of even ten tons per acre, noth>
ing more will be needed i'll most
cases. Should yellow foliage and
slow growth of wood indicate lack
of nitrogen, this can be applied in
the form of nitrate of soda, dried
blood, ground fish, cotton seed meal,
sulpHate of ammonia, ETC., whatever
is easiest to procure, or cheapest in
your particular locality. Bone meal
contains over twenty per cent of
phosphoric acid an9 four per cert
Of nitrogen, and if added to the un>
leached ashes at the rate of 200 or
300 pounds to ton or two of the

one of the cheapest, and at the. same
time most effective, OF all manures

total outlay per acre for seed, fer

Wilcox is confident that with the

He planted too late this year, and
