Can Hog Cholera be Cured:

Before answering this question. DR..
Salmon, chief of the United States
bureau of animal industry says that
1t Is necessary to remember that there
has never been discovered a remedy
for a single one Of the infectious dis
eases of man or animal which will
cure every individual attack. A large
number Of tests were made by the
department, and for long time it
was doubtful whether any remedy or
combination of remedies could be
made which would produce any
marked effect in lessening the ravages
Of swine diseases. The experiments
of the last year, however, Indicate that
treatments, if properly applied may be
successful A number of formulas
have been developed and used in the
field with good results. The most eff
fective is the following: Wood char
coal, one pound; sulphur, one pound; !;
sodium chloride, two pounds; sodium
bicarbonate, two pounds; sodium hy-
posulphite, two pounds; sodium sui
phate, one pound; antimony sulphide.
one pound. These Ingredients must
be completely pulverized and thoro-
ughly mixed.
The dose is large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds of hog, and is to be
given once daily. When hogs are af-
fected do not feed corn alone, but
at least once day give soft feed
made by mixing bran and middlings,
or middlings and corn meal, or ground
oats and grain, or crushed wheat with
hot water, and then stir into this the
proper quantity Of the medicine. Hogs
are fond of this medicine. 1t increases
their appetite, and when they once
taste Of food with which it has been
mixed, they will eat it when nothing
else would renlpt them. Very sick
animals, that cannot eat the feed,
should be drenched with the medicine
shaken up with water. In our expert
ments, hogs that were so sick that
they would eat nothing have COM
menced after receiving dose Of the
remedy, and steadily improved until
they appeared perfectly we'll.
This medicine may also be used as
a preventive Of swine diseases, and
for this purpose should be put into the
feed Of the whole herd, care being OBJ
served to see that each animal receives
it's proper share. In cases where 1t
has been given a fair trial, it has ap-
parently cured most Of the animals
which We're sick, and has stopped
the progress Of the disease In the herd.

Mice Run a Spinning Wheel.

In a little shoemaker's shop in Third
avenue, New York, there is on exhi.
bltion in the window of miniature
thread-spinning machine run by two
trained mice in a sort of treadmill ap-
paratus The proprietor Of the store,
who is an ingenious German Of an in
ventive turn of mind, planned and in
vented the machine himself,and as it
was built on a small scale to fit the
space available, it could not be operat-
ed by steam power, so he conceived
the idea of training the mice and hav-
ing them do the work. The little reg
lister fastened on one side Of the ma
chine shows that the mice daily per-

Fall Pasturing Winter Gram.


Some of our Western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect Of fall
pasturing winter wheat. We have
seen wheat that made too heavy a
growth in the fall. which was mater
tally benefited by pasturing with
sheep While the ground was dry and
before the frost had injured the feed.
Sheep are better for this than any 9TH
er stock. They are light in proportion
to the size of their feed, and their
tramping over light, porus soil makes
it compact. Then, what they eat Off in
the fall is only what would be con-
stant drain Oh the root whenever the
weather is mild. The wheat grower
wants large growth in the fall main-
ly to get II vigorous root. If the top
growth is cut or eaten off the root is
none the worse for the fact.

Corn Harvesting.

The enormous annual waste OF corn
fodder can be partly accounted for by
the hard labor generally required to
cut and shock the corn. Cutting corn
is one of the hardest jobs on the farm,
and in many of the principal corn re-
gions there is usually a scarcity OF
labor available for this purpose.
Therefore, says the "Farm Machin-
cry" machine labor must be subst-
tuted for hard hand labor For a
number Of years inventors have been
ut Work on machinery for cutting
corn. and manufacturers arc EOw turn
ing out corn harveSterS that do very
satisfactory work. With one of these
latest improved corn harvesters, drawn
by a steady horse, two men can cut
from 200 to 300 shocks Of corn 4 day,
and the cost OF cutting an acre OF
corn is less than One-fourth that Ivy
tho old. A greater advantage than
the saving Of labor and reducing the
cost IS that the work can be done in
shorter time. TO secure the full food
va'uc rf corn fodder the corn should
be cut, like wheat. just when it is
ready. If allowed to stand until toe
ripe, or f"oSt-hittcn. there IS a great
loss of - lie matter.
Corn harvesting should proceed as
rapidly as Wheat nrrvesttng. That the
ad' antages of corn havesters are ap-
preciated is attested by their large
and yearly increasing use. The Use
Of the present style will increase until
inventors produce Il nachinc that will
cut and shock :orn without the as
sistence of hand labor at Ill.
Corn fodder is the most available
substitute for hay TN the farm. Every
acre of corn fodder saved for feeding
OH the farm will release an acre Of
hay for market With wheat so close
to the cost of production, farmers are
| forced to look for a better ready
money crop. This year it is good hay.

THAT TERRIBLE SPARROW.
He Ts Noe Quite So Black mn He II
Painted.

He In Noe Quite So Black as He In
Painted.
Perhaps the strongest argument
against the sparrow liz that he drives
away the song birds. In certain cases
that is possibly true. When the coming
of song birds Is encouraged by the
building Of boxes for them to nest In
the sparrow is quite prone to oust the
song birds and to take possession of the,
boxes. II he fnds tree to be particu-
larly convenient he takes possession OF
that, and SO IL Is unfortunately true
that some of our native songsters are
rarer than they used to be.
Unfortunately, however. says Our
Animal Friends, the sparrow In the
least Of the enemies Of our song birds.
The bobolink has become rare In New
England, but Ii is the moving machine
and the early cutting Of hay, not the
sparrow, that has driven him away, and
elsewhere 1t Is to the small boy and to
the purveyor of the restaurant, who go
out to kill anything and everything
that has got wings, that we owe the
disappearance Of our song birds much
more than to the sparrow.
In Europe song birds and sparrowa
thrive together, and for one song bird
that Is native to the United States there
are at least ten or twenty that areI
abundant In Europe. In the UnitedI
States we have few song birds, and
they ought to be protected against all
enemies, even the sparrow, but In
Europe the larks, the fnches. and the
nightingales find no difficulty In living
In the neighborhood of the sparrow,
and In this country, II we would take
away the gun from the small boy and
put the purveyor of the restaurant In
jail, 1t Is probable that our song birds
would flourish quite well In spite of
the sparrow.

she was too new In the world to under

that the only thing to do was to start

that there are other pleasures In the

out with the satisfied air of one who had
completely set at rest the cravings Of

to sit. Geese average about forty-fve
eggs in year, but occasionally run up
to sixty, or even seventy Breeding
geese should be kept rather thin in
flesh and have free grass range.
Newly Matched goslings do not require
food for the first twenty-four hours
They should be fed on hard boiled
eggs, chopped fine, stale bread soaked
In milk, scalded meal, boiled potatoes,
ETC., and kept away from the water for
the first fortnight and housed In n dry
place until strong enough to run about
wei.
Geese require grass as much as cat
tie and should have it In abundance.
They also feather out more quickly
when permitted to run on green pasture
and have plenty of water. Under these
conditions they should produce good
crop of feathers every ten weeks They
should not be plucked while laying, as
it is impossible for them to moult
artificially and produce strong eggs at
the same time. IL the feathers are
ripe they will come easily and are dry
at the quill end. II soft and bloody,
they must be left for some time
longer.
Geese usually sell best at the Christ
mas holidays, and not ut Thanksgiv-
ing, as many suppose. The demand
for them is greater in the colder
weather. The Irish and Germans are
the largest consumers of geese in this
country. Before marketing geese
must be fattened. This process will
occupy from two to three weeks They
should be put in darkened room,
with sufficient light for them to see to
eat, and be given all the oats and corn
meal they can consume. They must
not be separated like fowls, as they are
very sociable and pine away IL kept in
solitude. As soon as the desire for
food slackens, they should be killed,
MS they are as fat as they will get and
will lose flesh instead of gaining it
