DISEASES AMONG SWINE.
Investigation of the Supposed Hog
Cholera Epidemic at Brooklyn
Center-Whai the Inspectors Found
-NiexHs nf q, Na.feriHarinu


Friday morning City Meat Inspector
Thomas Fisher and his assistant, c. A.
Tillbury, went out to Brooklyn Centre to
investigate the. cases of hog cholera re-
ported to exist there. The result of their
trip the discovery that the numerous
deaths occurring among the swine of that
neighborhood are due, not to hog cholera
but to diphtheria, lung fever. influenza
and a few cases of purple fever. All of
these ailments are affections OF the bron-
chial tubes and the lungs, while cholera is
a disease of the stomach and intestines
Cholera is contagious, spreading rapidly
and causing death frequently within an
hour and almost invariably within six
hours, after attacking an animal while the
diseases now causing heavy losses to the
stock owners at Brooklyn Centre are not
usually contagious. but run through the
country as an epidemic. being caused by
climatic conditions, and being generally
most prevalent in the spring and the fall.
One of the dealers at Brooklyn Centre is
reported to have lost already over 100 head
of hogs, and none of the owners in that
region have escaped without serious loss
DIR. j. y. Kennedy, a veterinarian who
has had great deal of experience in the
treatment of similar diseases. was seen in
regard to the matter Friday. He states
that nothing can be done to any good effect
in preventing the spread of the disease,
taken hold of soon the first symp-
toms apparent. DR.. Kennedy spent
considerable time last fall and winter in
treating cases in a similar epidemic
throughout northern Iowa. H says the di-
sease generally makes its first appear
ance in the form of diphtheria, and the
first symptom is a blackening of the tongue
and the roof of the mouth. Later the
bronchial tubes become affected, and in a
still later stage the disease spreads to
the lungs causing lung fever. The flesh of
the animal becomes heated and frequently
cracks open, leading to decomposition and
blood poisoning. In rare cases the later
stages of the disease develops what is
of the animal over the shoulders and neck
turns bright purple color.
In regard to the danger to public health
from the epidemic among hogs it is stated
that if any meats found in the market are
subjected to a heat equal to the boiling
point of water for a very short time. the
result will be the destruction of any di-
sease germs whatevec which may be in
the meats. and the removal of all danger
of injurious results from their use. A re-
cent annual report of the bureau of ami
NAL industries. in connection with the
Department of Agriculture at Washington,
states that the germs of hog cholera are
the most difficult to destroy, living for
in dry condition; but that even thew are
destroyed almost instantly when subjected
to boiling heat.

What They Are, and How They
Bear Upon the Irish Land
Question.

eYTHE MOST REV. DR.. WALSH,
Archbishop of Dublin.
Bishop Walsh's pamphlet is consid.
cred one of the best contributions to
the Silver question ever published. Its
value cannot be too strongly empha.
Sized
The last census shows a very large num-
Der OF our farms mortgaged. In. so far as
the annual Interest approaches the amount
Of rent paid by the Irish tenant, to just
such an extentis the condi ton of our farm
er Identical with his and since, with the
fall in the value of farm products the
amount of the farmers mortgage, as we'll
as the interest, virtually increases, he is in
some respects more affected by the appre-
eiation Of gold than the Irish tenant. Arch
bishop Walsh presents the question SO in
diligently, so clearly. and with so much d.
rectness that his pamphlet cannot fail to
have very large and useful circulation IN
this country.
The price of the pamphlet is only Is cents,
and it is for sale, with a number of other

BuldingLOS Most Desirable

The attention of our readers has
been several times called to those
lots in the block known as the Carey
Block, at Twentieth and K streets.
Since our advertisement of last
winter, we have been selling from
this block, and up to the present
time have sold six lots. As there are
only few OF them left, and knowing
that there are number of people at
this time looking for property that
is within short distance of the busi-
ness center, and knowing positively
that there are no other lots inside of
Twentieth street that can be pur-
chased as cheaply as we offer these,
we desire to impress upon intending
purchasers the importance of exam
ing this property-not only with a
view OF buying for immediate homes,
but for future investment. All of the
purchasers who have taken advantage
of this offer are young people, who
have already or intend to improve
their purchase with modern cottages.
The prices, as we said before, are
very low, and within the means of
every wage-earner. To those who
wish to buy on the installment plan,
we require only one-iourth cash; bal
ance can be paid in monthly pay
ments Of $40 or more, with interest at
7 per cent. per annum. There are
now two people who expect to pur-
chase within few days. These peo-
pie are intending to buy with the
purpose Of building and using the
property for homes The advantage
OF this property as to car service is
as good as any property above
Tenth street.-the L-street side hav-
ing the advantage Of the M-street
line, the K-street side the advantage
Of the and H-street lines, making
three lines within one block OF the
property. The walking time to the
Postofice is fifteen minutes. An ex-
animation Of this property will GER
tainly convince anyone that we have
not overrated it.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16O and 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an.
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay Ave equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality OF $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land ut SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands 10 actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
