Salt for Hog Cholera,

CHILpREss, Tex, Jan. g.
Every year in hog-fattening time I
see in your paper numerous COM
plants of hog cholera destroying
thousands and perhaps millions of
dollars worth of fatted hogs. l
have fed a few hogs every year for
% years, and have never lost one
from disease of any kind. l will
give you what l consider to be an
infallible preventive of hog cholera
and an auxiliary for fattening. The
first thought that | had was that a
hog does not eat enough salt for its
system, and that he will not eat
any scarcely if not mixed with some
thing else. In a contest with my
neighbors as to who should have
the best lot of hogs | tried every
way to get my hogs to have a good
appetite and take on flesh. So
undertook to get all the salt into
their system that I could, and thai
would create an appetite for watel
and hence demand an increase
quantity of corn. So, with the re
) cipe that I give you, l have Otter
| put two pounds of fat each day OIL
| a thrifty hog of 150 pounds.
Take one or two pints of meal t.
each hog. Mix with one Or tw'
tablespoonful of salt to each no
per day. Less quantity to begil
: with. Then pour boiling water in
to the mixture until it is we'll cooked
stirring while the water is bein
poured from the spout. Whe
u done, it should be sitter than mus
II and not SO tough as bread. Let
y cool some before feeding at frs
II After a while they will learn to Ell
l. it while warm, and l think it bett'
:; for them to eat it as warm as the
r, will. Plenty of fresh water is essel
tial. Corn should be kept lying /
r. them all the time. They will n
resist heavy feeding.
l. 1 hope you will induce son
s, stock feeder to make a trial Of tn
OF yet this season and let me kno
IL the result. | would like to hear

it is a preventive.

The members of the Democratic
party throughout the country should
line up and cordially support the
party leaders. This is no time for
pickering or fault finding. 1t strikes
us, to say the least, as peculiar that
someD Democrats are continually hunt
ing for some cause to harass and an
noy the administration and embar-
rass every movement made in the
direction of carrying out the princi-
Piles of the platform. Instead of cor
daily supporting the tariff bill and
assisting in making it a law you find
Democrats endeavoring to attract at
tention to stay laws and land loan
schemes and snide schemes OF that
character. The party, in order to
accomplish anything, must have the
cordial support of the rank and file.

MRS. GOCKRELL'S LIFE ENDS.
The Wife of the Missouri Senator
Pnuemania's Victim.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Mrs. f..
NJ. Cockrell, wife of Senator Cock
rell of Missouri, died at 1:50o'clock
this afternoon at the family residence
in this city. Her death was hourly
expected as the attack of pneumonia
from which she died developed an
acute form nearly two days ago.
Mrs. Cockrell was Miss Anna
Ewing, eldest daughter OF the late
Judge Ephraim Ewing, of the SUI
preme court Of Missouri. She was
married to Senator Cockrell at st.
Louis in July, 1873, being his third
wife. The first Mrs. Cockrell died
in December, 1859, and left three
sons. The second, who was Anna
E. Mann, daughter Of James B,
Mann of Kentucky, died of con
sumption in August, 1871.
By his third wife Senator Cockrel
was the father of two children,
son and a daughter. The daughter
Miss Mary, made her Washington
debut Wednesday of last week ant
, the event, one of unusual socia
magnitude, resulted in the mother
death, she having taken sever
cold. The guests included lurist
5 and statesmen, soldiers and di
. plomatists.
t At the reception Mrs. Cockre

The State Bank Tax.

1t is probable that the important
bill repeating the 10 per cent. tax on
State bank issues will be reported
from the Committee on Banking and
Currency at an early day, and per-
haps during the coming week. There
is a wide difference of opinions be-
.ween the Democratic members as
to the principles of such a measure,
and as these differences can not well
be reconc;isd the general desire in
the committee is to report a bill SIM
ply repeating the tax and then let
the House decide all differences.
The bill of Mr.. Cox, of Tennessee,
which is, in brief, a repeal of the
State bank tax without any effort at
regulating future bank ISSUES, was
under consideration at the last meet
ing of the committee. To some ex-
tent it is bidding for favor against
the bill of MIR. Springer, chairman
of the committee, which removes the
tax on certain kinds of State bank
issues secured by Government State
or municipal bonds. Mr.. Springer
thinks the bills do not conflict, and
might both be reported. 1t is proba-
BILE, however, that the simple repeal
bill will first be reported, and that
the Springer bill will be taken up by
the committee later.
The Ways and Means Committee
have two important tasks before
them, one the final settlement of the
terms of the internal revenue branch
of the tariff bill and the other the
authorization of bonds to meet the
pressing Treasury deficit.

Money of the Constitution.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Governor Stone aptly said in his
Jackson day speech that the trainers
of the Constitution evidently intend
ed that gold and silver should be
the only money of final resort.
And the reason for that intention
was not a mere selection of gold and
silver instead of tin and copper, but
it was the cheating of the people
which bad money had performed be-
fore the eyes of the founders. The
fathers of the Constitution intended
to say that the general Government
ought not to, and no other Power
could, ever force the American citi-
zen to take as money anything which
did not have behind it the definite
and known value of gold or silver
coin.
Governor Stone has spoken the
Democratic hard money creed. Ac-
cording that creed the general Gov
eminent does injustice to the citizen
when it forces him to accept as pay
ment for his labtr a single piece of
paper which is not redeemable in a
given weight of gold or silver.
Therefore it is that we must utilize
both gold and silver to make our
money supply what it ought to be.
Therefore it is that we must address
our efforts at currency reform, not
toward piling up token money On a
gold reserve, but toward widening
the standard. Therefore it is that
making the redeemability of any
Treasury note doubtful is a sin
against the people. Therefore it is
that we must attendto the standard
before we let the Government
pay any more OF its debts in de-
mand notes.
Governor Stone has called up the
money intention of the fathers in
good season.

mond industries in Africa. He is
Leonard Jacobs. When told that
diamonds were thought to exist in
Africa he asked what they were,
whereupon he was told that if be
found a stone bright and shining,
like glass, which withstood the fire
while his pulse beat five times or
more, he might conclude it was a
diamond; while, on the other hand
if it popped in the ashes it was a
crystal and valueless.
"Why," said Leonard, Tiny chill
dren have many bright stones such
as you speak of, and when I go
home I will put them in the fire. "
On his return to his little farm,
remembering the instructions, he
placed several bright stones, which
his children had collected, In the
fire but all popped with the excep-
ton of one which seemed imper-
vious to the heat. -
This was purchased by Sir Philip
Woodhouse, the Governor, for 81.

lily. Jacobs, however, got but lit
