In Case of swine Plague.

The fundamental principle i'm dealing
with an outbreak of disease i'm the swine
herd rs To separate the well hogs from
the sick hogs. not to take the sick hogs
away from the healthy swine, leaving
the latter confined on the ground which
the herd occupied when the disease de-
veloped. Leave the sick hogs where
they were when the illness appeared
and remove to other quarters those APP
parently not yet affected. If the pigs
are permitted to occupy the pens and
yards in which some have siclSened and
died il is altogether probable that the
infection VIII spread until ii carries OF
the herd or all but a few that are strong
enough to resist the eDcroachment of
the plague or survive an attack OF IT,.
The disease spreads by Infection of vhe
ground. Hence healthy hogs should
not be allowed on ground or in pens
where swine have died from the plague.

from, each one of them takes the place

Last year the United Kingdom sent us
556.267 square yards out of n total of
s73,55s square yards of carpet import

European countries sent us 245,69

leaving only So.lc1 .s3i of increase for
all other manufactures exported. But
the larger value of our mineral oil ex-
porfa has been of no value to American
labor because it represented shipments
of 42,1ii,015 gallons less oil in 1895
than in 1894. The refining or manu-
featuring of $4,000, 900 gallons less oil
for export has deprived labor of work
The increase in value merely repre-
sents an increase in the profits of the
oil combine, which advanced the price
of oil so sharply last year. 1t did no
good TO American labor. Our labor
suffered through having less oil to re-
bne or manufacture, and our labor also
suffered through having to pay more
money for oil when earning lower
wages.
Excepting the oil exports. we have
So, l0i. s31 worth more of American
manufactures shipped abroad last year
than in 1894. Against this we must set
the increase in our imports of foreign
manufactures, thus leaving the follow
