HOG DISEASES.
Recommendations by the Bureau of AMI

Recommendations by the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry for Prevention and Cure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. k.-With estimat-
ed losses of between Sl0,O OO, 900 and
2 ,ee0, 900 from hog cholera and swine
plague in the United States, the dis
cussion of the treatment and means of
prevention of these diseases in a bull
letin issued by the;agricultural depart
ment is of great value to the farmers
of this country.
The bureau of animal industry has
been conducting an exhaustive ~investi-
CATION of this subject and finds that
the agents which destroy the germs of
one of these fatal diseases. are also eff
fective in the destruction of the germs
of the other. Both are spread by in
fection, and their course varies from
one day to three weeks. Both are
caused by bacteria. The germs of hog
cholera, says the report, are very hardy
and vigorous, while those of the swine
plague are very delicate and easily de-
strOved. The latter are found to be
present in practically all herds of
swine, but the former must be intro
duced from infected herds. The most
efficient remedy tried by the govern
ment's agents is the following:
Wood charcoal, sulphur, sodium sui
phate and anthony sulphate; n
pound each; sodium chloride, sodium
bicarbonate and sodium hyposulphite,
two pounds each. These are to be
completely pulverized and mixed. The
medicine may be used also as a
preventive of these diseases. To in
sure successful treatment the animals
should be kept in dry and comfortable
quarters. Five or six months should
be allowed to elapse after an outbreak
before new hogs are purchased or any
of the old herd are sold.
The report recommends a rigid quar-
antining of newly-bought hogs and the
prevention of their Joining those al
ready on the farm for at least six
weeks. During the warm months of
the year the swine should have plenty
of young grass or clover; crushed or
rolled wheat should be fed to the
growing animals.

tax. In such cases it is neld by the
department hat the intention of the
exemption is to extend its benefits to
the small depositors and beneficiaries
of such mutual and savings institu-
tions and that the corporations as such
and those who speculate in the shares,
stock, OF funds are not the intended
benefciaries of the exemption. Col
lectors are required to examine the
articles of Incorporation and business
methods of corporations claiming ex-
emption, and where such are not within
the class specifically exempt to cause
return to be made for taxation as in
the case of other corporations.
The tax due from salaries of officers
and from pay of employees of the United
States is to be deducted from the first
excess payment over $4,000 by pay
masters and disbursing officers.
1t is provided that no part of the
salary. fees or emoluments of any
state, county or municipal officer shall
be subject TO income tax, and no re-
turn thereof shall be made of the SAL
airy or fees of such officers. Salary re-
ceived by government officials in 1894
shall be included in the first annual
return to be made on or before the
first Monday in March, 1895.
Appeals, lin. the first instance, are to
be made by dissatisfied taxpayers to
the collector, and if dissatisfied with
his decision, the appellant may have
the entire cause, with all papers and
evidence relating thereto, transferred
to the commissioner Of internal rev.
enue for his decision.
Severe penalties are imposed upon
all officers and other persons who make
known, i'll any manner, n fact or
particulars contained in or relating t
an annual return of any taxpayer, or
any fact as to the sources or amount
of the income of any such person.
Collectors are strictly directed by the
regulations to rigidly enforce this pro-
vision.
The tax on incomes for the year
1894 will be due and payable on or be-
fore the LIST day of July next, and if
not paid at that time the penalties will
attach for nonpayment-

Some Plain Truths Told In q Novel and

~
Elective Way.
In the American Bee Journal e
writer says: To think that the man
who never made a success at anything
tried, will make q success with bees.

would starve. To neglect to give the
bees proper care in spring and fall-in
fact all the time-and hope for gener-
Gus returns To neglect to put the
bees away into winter quarters in
good condition, then expect to find
them strong in the dawn of early
spring. To rob them of their stores
too late for them to replenish, thus
causing them to starve, then blame
them for perishing and curse your
luck. To try to use all patent hives
and appliances because some oily
tongued agent tells him to, and ex-
pect to succeed. To ventilate his hives
with cracks in the roof and knot-holes
in the bottom. To keep plenty of
weak colonies on hand, and expect to
escape the ravages of the comb grub
by using a moth-proof hive. Mon
sense!" To fail to put on the surplus
cases at the right time. then blame
God, nature and the bees for no
surplus. Watch, work and wait"
must be your motto in hoping for
success. To let the grass and weeds
grow SO rank around the hives that
the bees can't find them, then expect
to become a prince in the business.
To use old fogy dog-box hives, whose
internal mechanism you cannot view
without cutting out the combs, then
expect to become scientific. To allow
dirt and filth to accumulate on the
bottom boards of the hives, a. a hot
bed for the propagation of moths. To
buy an extractor before you know
what to extract from-one pound sec
tions or brood nest To boast of your
knowledge-talk about drones laying
eggs and the queen being the king bee.

books on bee culture at hand, with
which you are well acquainted, and
think yourself a bee master. To X
pect to reap wonderful results with

Best Way of Feeding Wheat.

The majority of reports commend as
the best and most economical way OF
feeding wheat: To horses, whole,
mixed with bran or corn and fed dry;
to cattle, ground coarse, mixed with
one-third ground corn and fed dry or
fed in the sheaf; to milk COWS, ground
and fed as slop; to hogs. ground
coarse, soaked and fed while sweet to
pigs or young growing hogs it is very
superior to corn in the production Of
bone and muscle, but for hogs being
finished for market one-third cor
added will increase the fat; to poultry,

Stanford Estate.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-There
il reason TO believe that the gov
ernment's claim against the estate
of ex-senator Stanford will be
tested in the courts before there
has been any actual default in the
payment. Under the conditions
the Attorney-General proposed, if
the executriX would waive any
right she might have by reason Of
the premature bringing of suit he
would gladly consent to have pro-
eeedings begun at once. No con-
clusiou has yet been reached, but
it Is expected that no objection
would be made to that course, and
especially as speedy adjudica-
ton Of the claim would be in the
interest Of the estate. The suit
would also determine the status Of
the governments claim against C..
P. Huntington and others, and on
the whole an early settlement Of
the claims would be to the interest
Of all concerned.

THE CASE OF FUGITIVE EzETA.

SAN Francisco, August 14.-In
naval circles and along the water
front here 8 lively interest has
been awakened in the case of Gen.
eral Antonio Ezeta, the deposed
vice-president Of San Salvador, who
is now on board the United States
steamer Bennington with three
other refugees from San Salvador.
The probable outcome of the pro-
ceedings to be brought in Califor-
MIA courts by the existing Saliva
dorian government, which is e1-
erting every effort to extradite
the refugees, is lost sight of at
present in the general expectancy
of exciting developments when the
Bennington shall arrive in port.
The cruiser is expected to put into
port st any time. Many conflict
ing rumors of action by the local
Government officials are heard, but
nothing definite can be learned.
1t is generally believed that the
Government will intercept the Ben
nington and hold her outside the
heads until a warrant for Ezeta's
arrest arrives from Washington
City. Its known that one swift tug
boat has been cruising outside the
Golden Gate all day, and it is ru-
mored that she has on board a
number of naval officers from Mare
Island. At the tug Office it is adj
mitted that this craft is on q spe-
cial mission, but her owners refuse
to state what her mission is or who
is on board. Another report is that
the monitor Monterey, which sailed
yesterday, ostensibly for Puget
Sound, has been sent out to signal
the Bennington and keep her with
out until the authorities have per-
fected their arrangements for the
arrest of the refugees. The attor-
neys who came on from New York
in the interest Of the Government of
San Salvador are very active, but
not more alert than the attorneys
who have been employed by
Ezeta's friends, and who threaten
to sue out writs of hzbeas corpus,
claiming that the refugees are
restrained. It is to guard |
against habeas corpus proceedings
that the Bennington will be kept |
outside the three-mile limit pend
ing the arrival of the warrants that |
have been forwarded from Wash
ington City.

A CIRCUS COMING.
Harmston's Big Show Will Be Here
In October.

One of the passengers on the

came in advance of Harmston's
Circus, which is at present in Yoke
hama. having Just finished tour of
the East. Col. Hicks was here some
six years ago, with Sawyer i Hicks
Minstrels.
The Colonel had not been ashore
many hours before the arrangements
he had been hoping to make were
completed. He obtained lot large
enough for his purpose, and will
bring his circus here on the next
steamer from japan.
The show is said to be large one.
and to excel particularly in trained
animals. 1t has a number of well
trained horses, tigers and leopards,
besides the regular circus features,
so dear to thu heart of the small boy,
not to speak of the fathers and
mothers.
