by means Of graduated glass.
Suppose. for example, that in twenty
four hours the quantity collected meas
ures c3 fluid ounces. This is equal to
cubic inches, and if the area of the

there has beech a fall of one-third Of

To sim the Angry Sea.

Fishing nets are said to be more ef
fective and less wasteful than oil in
sitting the troubled waters. The nets
are made with stout Irvine. and then
weight is about three ounces per square
yard. They are placed in barrels on
board ship and kept for use in storm.
and. when necessary. cork floats are
added. When a vessel is scudding be

bow and the waves are stilled. Wher

HOG CHOLERA.

Valuable Information to Raisers Of Swine.
Please give symptoms and best treat
ment for hog cholera. +. c., New
Berne. n. c. =
Answer-The following remedies are
the best that can be procured for this
dread disease: The first IL from the
United States department.; the second
was sent me by q friend with an ur-
gent request to publish. We would
very rauch like to know if the latter
accom- plishes all that is claimed for it.
Some Of the symptoms Of cholera are,
short, hoarse cough, fever running at
the nose, shivering, efforts to vomit,
totter:ng gait and sometimes paralysis,
constipation, succeeded by diarrhea,
dark purple blotches on the skin, with
great soreness and sometimes ulcera-
ton.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
Of animal industry, has just issued a
bulletin on this subject which ought
to DO in the hands Of every hog
keeper, and can be obtained on appli-
cation to the department Of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c. DR.. Salmon
says that whilst no absolutely certain
cure can be found for any disease, and
certainly not for hog cholera, vet
that, as the result Of long series of
experiments, the following has been
found to be . most efficacious formula
in most cases OF this disease, and is
valuable as q prevcntive:
Wood charcoal, one pound; sulphur,
one pound: sodium chloride, two
pounds: sodium bicarbonate. two
pounds; sodium hyposulphite. two
pounds: sodium sulphate, one pound;
antimony sulphide. one pound.
Pulverize and thoroughly mix. and
give . large tablespoonful for each zoo
pounds weight Of hogs once day.
Feed on soft food, made of bran and
shipsfuff, or bran and corn meal mixed
in hot water, and stir in the proper
quantity Of the medicine. Animals too
sick to eat should be drenched with the
medicine mixed in water. In drenching
a hog never throw him on his back OF
rope him and force him to take the med.
icine. The chances are that If you do
you will choke him. Pull out the side
of his cheek from his teeth and thus
make pouch, into which pour the med.
icine, and it will run into his mouth and
be swallowed. or take an old shoe and
cut oil small part Of the toe, SO rs to
make u hole through. and put this in his
mouth. He will generally commence
to chew the shoe-then pour the medi'
cine into the shoe and it will find its
way slowly into the mouth and b
swallowed. We have drenched hogs in
this way when we could succeed in nc
other way. Keep the sick hogs dry
warn, and clean, or it is very little use
giving medicine.
