EXPERIMENT WITH BREEDS OF
HOGS.

The Iowa experiment station Is now
conducting what promises to be Il very
interesting and instructive experiment
with the different breeds of hogs. The
plan has been to secure typical brood
sows OF number of the different
breeds from prominent breeders of the
same, keep them as nearly as possible
under exactly similar conditions, keep
a strict account Of the food consumed
by each breed, and give the result to
the public. We had the pleasure few
days ago of looking over the animals
selected. says correspondent Of Wal
lacc's Farmer" The breeds chosen are
Poland China, Berkshire, Chester.
White, Duroc-Jersey, Yorkshire and
TamwOrth. In addition to these one
hlgh-grade Poland-C China SOW has been
bred to Tamworth and another to a
Yorkshire. The Tamworth and York
shire are very distnctively bacon
breeds, so that there will not only he
comparison between the breeds that
have so long been subject to American
conditions that they have assumed the
American type-namely the Poland
China, Chested, White, Berkshire and
Duroc-Jersey-but the two English
breeds are in highest reput for the
production OF bacon. These types are
quite distinct and the Tainworth es-
pecially Is radically different from the
four breeds above mentioned. 1t Is
long. very deep and narrow in the
back, with prodigious nose and very
large, erect ears, so that when one
shakes itself after being in mudpud-
die the bystanders need to look out

opals in Wells.

There Is some thing mysteriously
fascinating about the arteslan well
subject into which almost every in
telligent Floridian delves. Almost
everybody knows that various kinds
of fossils have been brought out Of the
wells. but nobody ever before heard Of
opals being one of their products. Such
however. Is the fact. John Lynn, the
young gentleman who went Off to help
Cuba, has tw small opals IN his scien-
tific collection which came from the
new Springfield well just being COM
pleted by Mr.. Partridge. Mr.. Part
ridge said yesterday that he did not
know whether they were opals or not.
but that he did know that John Linn
said they were. The Opal is nothing
more than volcanic glass, hence the
finding OF opals hundreds of feet be-
low the surface Is not more startling
than the finding OF sharks teeth. O'ea
sand and sea shells.--.Jacksonvllle

pleasant to have to note that the great
French Republic Is thus copying a

that there never has been any neces-

A highly interesting discovery, which
Will perhaps afford u clew to the cause
OF cancer, has been made In Prof. Won
Leyden's University. Hospital here,
says Berlin correspondent. A young
woman Of % and man of CD, both
suffering from ascites and cancer of
the stomach, were brought to the hos
pital last spring. In order to remove
the accumulated fluid, tapping was re-
sorted TO in both cases. The fluid was
examined under the microscope, and
hitherto unknown living organisms, be-
longing probably to the protocols were
discovered. Professor Waldeyer, to
whom the preparations We're submit
ted, advised that they should be sent to
DR.. Schaudinn, assistant at the ZOolog-
ical Institute Of the Berlin University,
who has been investigating the pro-
tozoa for years past. He began his ex-
aminations on July 10, and ascertained
that In both cases the fluid contained u
parasitic amoebOld rhizopod, which lie
named leydenia gemmipara Schaud-
inn. He inferred that it is patho-
genie organism, but both he and Pro-
fessor Won Leyden still abstain from
deciding rs to the connection between
1t and cancer, though they admit the
possibility Of such connection. They
have made preliminary cOmmunica-
ton on the subject to the Berlin
Academy of Sciences.

OIL OF SAssAFRAs.

Yes, sir. oil of sassafras will kill lice
on old and young chickens, and IL you
think 1t worth publishing l will give
your readers some more of my expert
ence with the oil, says a correspon-
dent to the Poultry Keeper.
All who are raising chickens know
that the greatest trouble with young
chicks is the large gray head louise,
which kills more chicks than any dis
case they are afflicted with.
/ cannot agree with some Of your
readers who are advocating the use OF
lard to kill lice on little chicks, as l
have killed about as many with the
lard as have saved from lice. For lit
tie chicks the sassafras oil beats any
patent medicine yet invented. After
finding that the use of the oil in the
food will kill the pest on grown chick
ems, l tried it on chicks. Whenever l
set a hen l give her every third day
ten drops of oil in n little bran or meal
until she Is through setting. AS soon
as the chicks are two days old, l give
the hens and the chicks n fourth of a
teaspOOnful twice week. l have at
present sixty-two chicks five weeks old,
and they are the finest looking lot
ever had. prefer sassafras oil over
everything l have ever tried for lice
for the following reasons: First 1t is
no treble at all to use 1t, as it is given
in the food; second there Is no danger
of killing any chicks with it; third
there is nohandllng of the chicks. Kero-
sene emulsion is excellent. l tried it
as soon as found it would kill lice,
and it Is excellent to put in whitewash
used for the hen house.

John V. Major and John Young, who
allege that they are trustees OF The Meth
odist Episcopal Church of Ctnterville,
Sussex county, were arrested Wednes.
day evening on a complaint by Francis
Layton, who also claims to be a trustee.
His complaint stated that Major and
Young broke open shutters and removed
windows and the lock from the door of
the Centervile Methodist Church on
Tuesday evening. Major and Young
gave bonds for their appearance before
the Grand Jury at the April term. The
arrest is the elimination of bitter
church fight. One of the causes OF the
disruption was the circulation among the
voters Of Sussex county last Fall Of let
ter containing statements against Jacob
G. Van Sickle, a candidate for Assembly,
and which led to his defeat Van Sickle
is wealthy land owner and supporter
OF the church. He declares that G. M.

we're as well as the more florid style of
organ music that is rare. lie is certainly
a delightful organist, who by his varied
talents, is capable of pleasing all tastes.
The solos Of Miss Talman were receiv.
ed with great favor and were heartily en-
cored She has a sweet, soprano voice,
highly cultivated, and of great compass.
Nicely as she sang, Miss Tallman was not
at her best, as she was suffering frcm a
cold.
Mr.. Halls solos on the violin demon
strated that he was an artist of no mean
ability. No lover of the violin could fail
to be pleased with him.

EDITOR RECORD If obtaiuable, will

Kuhl's freebooter bill There seems TO
be considerable doubt In the minds of
many taxpayers other than those who are

really benefit the taxpayers, or whether 1t
will simply make change in the parties
who will receive the 'iper diem pay; as
1t is patent to any man having knowledge
Of the work performed by the board OF
freeholders, that three men cannot give
personal attention TO the bridges in our
county, and that without a radical change
10 the laws with regard to the building
and repairing of bridges, the county will
have to employ bosses TO perform The du-
ties now performed by the freebolders,
and when it comes to that, ii IL doubtful
ii there would be any saving either 10 the
''per diem" cost or In the cost of the
bridges.
Having known Mr.. Kuhl for many
years, feel sure that his motives are pure
10 the matter, and 1t occurs to me that il
the full text of the bill was published, it
might have tendency TO allay the feel
ing of distrust among the people.
So many of the reform measures of the
past few years have been attended with
increased cost, that the tax payers should
be excused II they view new measures
with suspicion, and unless the township
can be satisfied that this reform will les.

The Republican Senators held con-
ference last night and discussed the vari-
GUS measures now before the Legislature
also the question OF final adjournment.
All bills referring to fish and oysters they
decided should be incorporated in one act,
80 that the gist of all that was practic.
able and reasonable should be put in
concise shape. A bill TO that effect will
be introduced. AS TO the constitutional
amendments, the Senators decided to
look into the recommendations which
will be made by the committee of nine
lawyers having the matter in charge, who
will report to day. Az to flnal adjourn
ment, the senators said they would be
ready to have it take place next week,
but, as the House wanted more time, they
are willing to wait two weeks mole after
this week. With respect to the election
of Assemblymen by districts, the Sena-
tors decided that it would be best TO have
bill introduced on the subject so as TO
form basis for discussion.
