"The Hon. A. Benoit was elected by
the Democrats of Ouachita to a seat
in the Louisiana Legislature. His
chief work in that body WAS to fight
the State administration, fight De,
mocracy and pose rs the watch dog
of the treasury. He now believes
that he is stronger than the Demo
cratic psrty-bigger than anybody
and wants to 90 to Congress, wants
to be Governor of Louisiana, and
seeing no opening in the Democratic
party that will let him in, he wants
to lead the Third party under the
name of the Peoples party. The

nomination for Congress and ascer
tain his strength ia thirteen parishes

ORIGIN OF THE DUR0C- JERSEYS AND
POINT OF EXCELLENCE,

Paper read by Orrie Walter, Lebanon,
O. before the Ohio Swine Breeders
Institution Dayton. O., Tuesday, Jan
uary %, 1894.
From the Western Swineherd.
81 have been requested by our
worthy secretary to prepare ard read
before this meeting paper on 1.-The
Duroc Jersey and their Points of Elk
cellencew / confess my inadequacy,
bnt will endeavor to make my subject
as explicit as possible.
The exact or true origin Of the Dn-
roc Jersey is not positively known to-
day. Many are Of the opinion that
they are strictly American bred,
while others have gathered much
information pointing toward imported
stock many years ago. It is now
generally conceded by all who are
interested in this most popular breed
Of swine that there were two families
of them some years ago, one known
as the Jersey Reds; and the other as
Duroc. The former beng so named
in New Jersey and the latter in Ne"
York.
JERSEY REDS.
The name Jersey Red was un
doubtedly given to this family OF rec
, hogs by Joseph B. Lyman at tn
time the agricultural editor OF tn
q New York Tribune and resident O
t New Jersey. This was fully twent'
}. years ago. Previous to this tim
z they bad been called Red hogs. MI
,s Lippencot, of New Jersey, was tn
y first to advertise these hogs as Jerse
- Reds; that in the year 1892 there WI
Ia a pair of red pigs shipped fro'
a Spain to Salem, New Jersey, 81
IT, there seems 10 have been red hoE
70 previous to that time as the Ode
"a citizens of Burlington aud adjace
70 counties of New Jersey could not

Their superiority undoubtedly
arose from their pre- eminent constl-
tutioual vigor and consequent capac-
ity to properly assimilate their food
DUROCs.
The name Duroc was undoubtedly
,iy.n this family Of red hogs by
Isaac Frink, prominent farmer liv-
ing in Milton, Saratoga county, N. I.
Mr.. Frink took mare to the noted
stallion Duroc, then owned by Henry
Kelsey, of Florida, Montgomery
county, n. Y, about five miles away
MIR. Frink there saw Il litter OF ten
pigs the production Of pair brought
the year before by Mr.. Kelsey from
Oyster Bay, Queens county' N. ~ OF
imported by him from England He
moved from Oyster Bay to Florida
In regard to the importation OF thu
pigs the history is not authentic al

they we're imported. The term 'm

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitut-
iOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1am
ed condition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in1amed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to is normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh which is
nothing but an iniamed condition of the
mOcous surfaces.
