~.ERYSlPELAS IN PIGS,

Cilthfness the Most Frequent Provocative
Of This Disorder.
The appearance of red scratches
across pigs back which turn purple
and then discharge and ooze blood and
water is due to an attack of erysipelas.
This is disease of the blood, which
becomes poisoned. and is easily com.
municated to another animal through
a broken skin; that is. it is contagious
It is always associated with fever, and
involves the connective tissue under
the skin. and thus the skin
often peels off. leaving sores
that are difficult to heal The
best mode of relieving the intense
pain that accompanies this disease is
to paint the spots affected with thick
mixture of wheat -four IN a solution of
hyposulphite of soda, or even with lin.
seed or olive oil, and then dust it thickly
with flour. One ounce doses of hypo-
suiphite of soda solution should be
given internally, or similar dose
of castor oil may be given.
For food give only sweet milk
with oatmeal and linseed meal
moderately. and any green fodder that
can be procured will be useful. This
disease often follows the eating of
green buckwheat or other vegetable
food that has stimulating effect, such
as green nettles- A filthy pen, to which
pigs are often submitted, is a frequent
provocative of this Observation-Disclosures

Childreo'a Coats.

The most serviceable little coats for
children of four years and upward, are
of fine broadcloth. with mink-tail trim
mings or narrow borders of some close
fur. These coats are generally made in
simple sack fashion, with a double or
triple cape edged with fur. Such q
coat as this is suitable for a child up to
eight years of age. For the younger
children there are great many scarlet
coats, with trimmings of black Persian
lamb or of the Chinese mandarin fur.
Girls over twelve years old wear either
a coat or ulster. The new coats for
girls in their teens differ lit
tie from from those made for
their grown-up sisters. They are usu-
ally what is known as three-quarter
length, all fitted to the figure at the
back. and are double-breasted in front
These coats are shown in fine Kersey
cloth, fastened by white pearl buttons,
and in the less expensive, serviceable
cheviots of blue or brown, fastened by
buttons of smoked pearl There are

MORE REPUBLICAN TRIckERY.

Carter and His Coterie Scheming to Retain
Control of the United States Senate
Some comment has been caused By
the notice for a meeting at New York,
sent out by Chairman Carter to mem
bers of the republican national com.
mittec. Those who received the no.
tees declined to say where the meet
ing was to take place. Sam Fessenden,
of Connecticut, is at the Hoffman
house. He declined to speak of the
meeting. and seemed surprised to learn
that Mr.. Carriers notice had leaked out.
w. ]. Campbell, of Chicago, has been
in town within the last few days. All
that he would say was that he had ex-
pected to hear from Mr.. Carter. 1t
was ascertained that Mr.. Carter and
his brethren are to meet for the pur-
pose of cooperating with the senate
committee of repu blicans, who are in
terested in maintaining a republican
majority in the United States senate.
For a week or more after election
most of the republican committee. to-
gether with a number of republican
United States senators, gave out that
they wanted the democrats to have the
senate: that they would not lift their
hands to have it otherwise, and they
talked in eighteen different dialects of
the happiness they would experience
in watching the democrats have con-
troll of the senate. But a change has
come over the spiri. of their dream.
They now propose to make a bitter
fight against the party that has re-
ceived such positive popular indorse-
ment, and the committee when it meets
expects to receive some tips from Car
ter on the manner of keeping the SEN
ate, by fair means or foul, within the
fold.-ChicagO Times.

VARIETY IN FOOD.
Fowls Need Changes of Diet just a.
Much as Human Beings.

Fowls Need Changes of Diet just ~
Much as Human Beings.
Variety is one great charm of life.
'ariety we demand in our tables, and
variety we must give also to our
feathered favorites, if we would have
them fulfill our expectation. Our own
appetites, says Poultry and Meat Sup
ply, would flag were the same dish to
be presented to us day after day, ex.
cellent though that dish might be.
In like manner, we will find our
poultry droop, if we present to them
the same unvarying mess Let the
hen-wife, then, study reasonable va
riety in their food. And she has a
wide range for this-oats, barley,
wheat, rice, may all be given in turn.
Buckwheat is much used in France for
fattening fowls. 1t is grown success
fully in England, but not in Scotland.
Sunfower seeds are said to fat ten
fowls rapidly, and are eaten greedily
by them. Rice may be given raw; the
fowls will pick it up like any other
grain; but it will be found a much
more economical plan to boil it; for
when boiled very soft and allowed to
cool in the water, it will swell ont to
an amazing extent. It is more expen-
sive than grain, except when it is
bought damaged from wholesale deal
ers, in which case it will be found eco
nomicaL
Grain can be given raw and boiled
alternately, except oats, which must
always be given in it's raw. dry state.
BARLEY, if given raw, must be supplied
very sparingly; for it swells out SO
much in the crop that, if given freely,
it will be sure to injure the fowls. The
safest plan is to have it boiled, so that
the process of swelling may be accom-
plished before it enters the crop. In
this way it will be found an economical
food. Wheat is also rendered more
economical by boiling. 1t is favorite
with fowls.
Whatever may be the method adopt
ed of feeding fowls, they should have a
fair allowance of dry grain each day,
or a smaller quantity twice day,
morning and evening. If they have
too much soft and green food, they
will be apt to have diarrhea; if, on the
contrary, they have too much dry
grain, they will suffer in the opposite
way. Attention must b. paid to the
proper regulation of the diet. BY
watchfulness in this respect, disease
and death might frequently be warded
off.

PORK PRODUCTION.
It Requires Brains to Make the Raisl3s
OF Hogs Profitable.

It Requires Brains to Make the Raising
of Hogs Profitable.
When prices rule low it requires a
large sprinkliug of brains to make pork
production protita BILE. Especially is this
true when the prices of grain and other
feeds are high.
When hogs are selling at five cents
per pound almost anyone can make
money raising them. 1t does not re-
quire education, nor is it essential that
the stock be well bred. although it
would be all the better to have them
SO. We are always blessed with high
prices, but we have them ranging all
the way down, sometimes lower than
three cents per pound But. whatever
the price, profits are GREATER when in
telligent and good blood are employed
in the breeding of good swine. Luck
may be factor in growing swine, but
we are disposed to give it very little
credit
We have actual knowledge of 20
cents per bushel being realized from a
bushel of corn fed in an intelligent
way to well bred hogs The profits of
this breeder must have been immense
when corn was selling at Is cents per
bushel. 1t is not to be expected that
results as satisfactory as these will be
obtained in a majority of cases, but we
do believe that in any case where 8
cent pork is made at an expense which
will not yield SO cents per bushel for
corn fed, justifies change of methods
and an infusion of new blood.
The lesson to learn is to make bust
ness pay when prices are depressed,
then there need be no doubt of salts
factory results when better prices are
obtained. Pedigree should not loom
up to that extent that it will hide the
actual merits of the animal. Too
many are recorded which have only
pedigree to recommend them, and sole
~ on this ground does the owner ex-
pect anything from them. A little ex-
perience will convince man that pig
must have other qualities to make it
valuable, viz. good form and consti-
tuition. Without these a good pedigree
is naught.-Colman's Rural World.

PLANTER FOR BULBS.

a Labor-Saving Device for Use In the
Flower Garden.
Have you ever planted small early
spring bulbs right in the sod? Perhaps
the labor of taking up sod, setting the
bulbs and replacing the sod was too
great for planting extensively in this
manner. Yet nothing can make a bright
er and more picturesque appearance in
early spring than crocuses. scillas,
snowdrors. etc, scattered promiscuous-
~ over the lawn. Their flowers will
all be gone before the grass needs cut
ting, and these bulbs once planted are
good forever, increasing in beauty
from year to year. Good mixed crocus
bulbs can be had for about so cents
hundred. SO the cost is trif1ing. My
device for planting them is shown in
