ABOUT HOG CHOLERA.
An ohio'Man Tells why He Docs Not Con-
slider It Contagious.

For years have read every article
that came under my observation in re-
gard to the so-called "hog cholera" it's
cause, prevention. and cure. During
last summer and early fall hundreds of
hogs and pigs died, and as many more
were shipped and sold for what they
would bring One peculiar feature of
the disease last year was that hogs on
clover, and nothing but water to
drink, were the first 20 get sick, and
others that were confined in pens or
lots escaped the disease. My hogs ran
on clover but got some grain and swill
every day, and they came through all
right, yet the disease was on every side
of my farm. / think the disease should
be called ''swine fever" and think it
similar if not identical to the typhoid
fever in the human family. If you
will take notice, hogs generally COM
mence to get sick about the time in the
year that typhoid fever is the most prev
a1ent.
Some writers claim that germs of the
disease can be carried on mems boots
or on the rims of buggy wheels for
miles and thus spread the disease.
don't think it contagious, but think the
breeding and surroundings must be
similar if one herd takes it from an
other. About the first Of last Septem-
ber l had bunch of shoats that acci-
dentally got in a neighbours clover pas
ture where his sick hogs were, and
some dead ones not yet buried. We
brought them home and not one OF
| them ever showed any symptoms of be.
| ing sick or carried the disease to our
other hogs. When we consider the
large number of narrow-chested, fine.
boned. short-bodied, wheezy hogs that
are raised every year, and the number
that are so closely inbred, the only
wonder is that more don't die. To pre-.
vent the disease farmers must not raise
so many hogs, have them of better
| quality and more robust constitution,
be more careful in selecting breeders
and not breed from any but fully ma.
tured hogs, and have their food and sur
roundings such as will promote health
| think 1 am safe in saying that i'm.
proper ringing, lice, buttermilk and
kidney worm kill more hogs every year
than cholera does, and yet all that die
are said to have the cholera" Nobody
but an expert can keep one hundred
hogs and have them in perfect health

Too Many Sheen I'm "A FIook.

Sheep have the habit of huddling to-
gether, and this is perhaps one reason
why they do better in small focks than
in large ones. Those who begin keep
ing sheep ought to try a small flock
first, and increase it as they gain ex.
perience in sheep management There
is hardly farm, however small, where
n few sheep cannot be kept with profit.
A few will seem to chink in and cost
almost nothing for feed. Enlarge the
aock to one hundred, and they will eat
down pastures so that nothing else can
get bite, and make it necessary to
stable and feed horses and milch cows
all summer. Sheep will get their living
where other stock would stsrve, but it
does not pay to try to pasture them

COMBINATION BRICK AND ADOBE WALL.
more of brick, with backing of six
courses of adobes, are laid on the wall
and tied in the same manner with
strap-iron until the successive additions
make the wall of the height desired.
The usual size of a brick in this local
tty is eight and one-half by four inches
and two and one-half inches thick
The size of the largest adobes is eleven
by five inches and three and one-half
inches thick when dry, though many
other dimensions are in use.
Farmers who can make their own
adobes find the above combination
cheaper than to construct their houses
of lumber. These houses will be very
durable even in moist climates, and
possess one great advantage over solid
brick walls, for adobe walls never
sweat or show the least moisture

THE SNAKE ESCAPED.
A Naturalist's Experience With q Vel
em0us Serpent.

A Naturalist's Experience With q ven-
emous Serpent.
Prof. Lloyd Morgan says that his first
experience of South African death-deal-
ing snakes was rather disturbing. One
of his pupils brought him, in large
cigar-box, 'ring-hals-slang," deadly
and courageous snake not uncommon at
the Cape, and turned it out on the
vera nda for the professors delectation.
1t was a spiteful little fellow, with an
ominous hood, dark, glossy skin and
glistening brown eye.
1t struck viciously at the cigar-box
held up before it, indenting the wood
and moistening it with venom and sa-
Iva. l was anxious to dissect out the
poison-gland and examine the fang of
the snake, and my friend kindly pre-
sented the reptile to me, after first
tying it up sesurely in the cigar-box.
After examining the fastenings, I
placed the box on the windowsill of my
be droom, which looked into the veranda,
and left it there for the night. Next
morning procured pan big enough
to drown small python, placed the
cigar-box therein, loaded it with bricks,
and poured in water to the brim.
l gave the ''ring-hals" three hours to
get thoroughly drowned, removed the
bricks, took out the box, gently cut the
string, lifted the lid-and found that
had been soaking, with the utmost care,
an empty cigar-box. 1t had been Sc
curely tied and how creature more
than thrice the girth of my thumb had
managed to escape is still a mystery to
me.

To cheaper the cost of buildings
erected with brick walls, it has become
the custom in Utah to build with brick
and adobe combined. The exterior is
laid of brick in the usual way, emitting
the courses of headers, which are un-
necessary, and this part of the wall is
usually the thickness OF a single brick,
pr about four inches. The brick is
backed by from one to two layers of
adobes, according to the strength of the
walls desired. First, eight courses Of
brick are laid, and these are backed
with six courses of adobes, the brick
laying four courses TO the foot and the
adobes three, so that eight courses of
brick and six of adobes come level on
top. To tie these together, strips of
thin strap-iron an inch wide and about
one foot long, with the ends for an inch
doubled fat to secure the hold are laid
diagonally across the wall, one piece to
each brick, and more if considered nee

Fat Not Desirable.

Fat is not desirable in any kind o,

will either fail to produce pigs or will
produce them of delicate constitution,

The same rule applies to mares, cows
and ewes. Hens that are overfed and
made very fat do not lay regularly, and
eggs from such hens, when used for
Matching purposes, often fail to hatch.

A common custom when putting out
bananas, palms, oleanders and other

kinds is to sink out of sight the tubs in
which they grow, giving the appear
