Hog Cholera"

The 'hog cholera" is again max
ing its appearance in some parts of
the county. At first it came to
these parts ten or dozen years ago,
and in some seasons since proved
very destructive, sweeping away en-
tire pens of porkers in course of fat
tening preparatory for winter slaugh-
tering. The disease comes on in the
form of deep prostration, the
symptoms usually first manifesting
themselves in the legs. The hogs
refuse food, and from appearances
are thrown into great suffering all
through the body. The disease has
but short run, the animals affect
ed dying quickly. We have heard of
a case where one of the animals was
taken i'll with the disease and all
medicines failed to bring the desired
results. The owner naturally being
very anxious to save his hogship,
came to the conclusion that if he
could only get the half defunct an
imal to vomit there might be re-
turn of it's appetite, and, acting
upon the idea, he took stick and
commenced to wallop the animal un-
til it got up and ran from place to
place until finally it belched forth
the contents of its stomach. 1t soon
afterward walked up to the trough
and ate as heartily rs ever and Mt
once commenced to show signs of
improvement. In few days, how
ever, the animal again stopped eat
ing and it was then again put
through the same course of sprouts
as before until vomiting was pro
duced, the appetite restored, and
eating resumed Signs of improve
ment again becoming quickly qrpsS;-
eni. This was repeated 10, ,S~ Ssef' h'sJ'
times and the animal finally took its
food, grew fat, and was killed
sound hog. 1t may be that indiges-
ton is the producing cause of the
disease, and that the compelling of
an animal affected with the malady
to enter into II sudden active bodily
movement until vomiting results
through agitation and excitement
is the right thing, and if so the orig
inator of the idea ought to be pen
stoned by the government, for in
years past when the disease spread
over the country in epidemic form
the losses sustained therefrom by
the farmers amounted to many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. The
disease though called hog cholera
is no more like cholera than the itch
is like small pox. Hundreds and
hundreds of remedies have been in
vented for the cure of it, but with
out any saving effect, and hence it
may be well to give the vomiting
process II trial.

Prepare Your Lunch.

IL is said that at some of the poll
ing places il may take upward of "a
hours to officially count the ballots
deposited under the Baker law. The
amount Of work required to be gone
through with, it is claimed, makes
the labor of getting out the official
count not only burdensome, but will
delay the announcement of the final
result in large districts when there
is considerable cutting from five to
seven hours after the polls have
closed on election day.
Section % of the law, it is held,
precludes the possibility of the cleo
tion officers getting anything to eat
from the time the polls close until
the votes are counted. That may
tend to hasten the work some, as
under the old system the election
officers frequently spent an hour eat
ing supper before they began count
ing. Now they must mt once pro
ceed to count the votes" after the
polls close, and no one is allowed
to communicate with any officer in
any way after the polls are closed. /"
That part Of the section prevents
meals being served to the election
officers before finishing the count.

There will be no difficulty in voting

danger and that is delay-vote early
and YOU will have no trouble. If
you put off voting until evening, as
many of our voters have been ac-

1t is rather remarkable how the
barbarous custom of giving calithum-
plan serenades to newly married
couples holds on in rural districts (;
but if more grooms would follow
the example of the Oxford, Chester
county bridegroom, who had some
fifty serenaders arrested, the Gus
tom would soon perish. The jus.
tice of the peace fined each serena
der fifty cents, aud added S2.S7
costs for every offender. They have
probably concluded by this time
that the RAJ lie fun was hardly worth
the money.
