Dolan Wins Again.

The tournament in which the best bowl
ers among the lady and gentlemen bowl
ers of the Catholic Club are Interest,"
ed is without doubt the most success
full of any tourney held in seasons on the
alleys. The fair sex have become en-.
thusia site participants in the game Of ten
pins and are striving to make as great
a success as is possible with their
meagre practice. They are doing ex-
ceedingly well and already the organiza-
ton can boast of more han one among
those of the gentler sex who can throw
a ball down the alley and actually hit
the head pin. The majority are not as
yet proficient in rolling high figures, but
an Improvement is made with. each new
series, and before the competition is fin
ished all of these will have become quite
experienced. Thursday night the first
contest of the week was held and many
exciting features were connected with it.
A great deal of interest was centered in
the match between teams l and l.. in
which Mrs. T. F. O'Brien opposed her
leige lord, and it was due to her supe-
ricr handling of the ball and that of
Miss Cahill and Miss Symes that team
gin. Mrs. O'Brien beat her husband 20
pins, and was 4 ahead of Captain Re-
lish. The ladies outclassed the men in
this game. In the second game team A
won from F, and in the succeeding one
team B won from H. Teams E and J
fought for the honor in the next game,
and f won it. Teams c and X figured
in the closest game of the night, and the
humber was Won BY team 6 from D by
a very safe score. Totals were:-

for the Spectators. The bowlers banged

should be relegated to the records
of a past age. Modern science de-
mands that animals-and we here
refer to man and the domesticated
animals should be allowed the
most wholesome alimentation to
insure the highest state of health
and vigor.
Even when good food and pure
water is assured, it is often the
case that bowel troubles arises
from overlooking, resulting in the
decomposition of the food and fer
mentation. To guard against such
It is we'll that the hog should have
free access to agents which act as
alternatives and antiferments, and
for this purpose there is nothing
better and cheaper than charcoal,
or ashes of some kind, mixed with
common salt.
The following is a recipe recon-
mended by the United States de-
partment of agriculture:
Sulphur. II pound
Common salt. .........2 pOunds
Baking soda. ...........2 pounds
Hyposulphite of soda. q pounds
Sulphate of soda. ........1 pound
Black antimony. ........l pound
Wood charcoal. ........l pound
Pulverize and mix thoroughly.
Dose-One tablespoonful for
every 200 pounds weight of hog
once a day in feed.
We do not recommended the
continuous use of medicine as the
above mixtures, unless circum-
stances seem to demand it. but
the free access to a mixture OF
ashes and salt corrects acidity and
fermentation, aud by SO doing, is
an excellent preventive against
bowel irritation.
We trust that this report, though
incomplete in many respects, will
contain some information and sug-
gestions of a practical nature,
through which those hog raisers
in the state who have been the
losers, OH account of untoward
conditions which might have been
prevented, will in the future be
enabled to pursue different and
more intelligent course, and there
by make the industry a success

Report on Swine Diseases.

lSlana Agrlculturerdl Association,
to make investigation
concerning swine diseases, after
corresponding with a large num-
Der of hog raisers, and considering
their answers, have arrived at the
following conclusion:
l. That the diseases did not
specialize as victims of any par
ticular breeds.
2 That the greatest loss, occur
ing in spring and summer, was to
a large extent due to the luscious
and rank condition of vegetation,
some of which was of an irritating,
unwholesome or poisonous charac-
ter, and to the impoverished con-
dition of the animals during win
ter.
3 That pigs and shoals sue
cumbing in greater numbers than
older animals was due to their age,
their immature systems being less
resistent to sickness than more
mature animals.
4. That the condition of the
food and water had more to do
with, and was the principle factor
in causing a greater amount Of
mortality than any other condi-
ton.
5. That the main SYMPTOMS emu
merated, indicate that the greater
number of deaths resulted from
intestinal diseases produced most
probably, by unwholesome, irrita-
ting and impure food and water,
amongst which may be classed me-
asles and worms. The first being a
parasitic disease, produced by the
animals eating the eAcrements
from human being suffering
from tape worm, as the measles OF
the hogs "cysticurcus cellulosa" il
just stage Of the tape worm, be-
comes affected by eating measley
pork improperly cooked.
The second, or intestinal worms
being obtained by swallowing thu
eggs of the worm with stagnant
water, in which they are often very
numerous, rs well as in different
forms of vegetation and certain
bugs.
o. That the lungs affections wer'
more than likely produced by COLI
and exposure.
7. That the kidneys trouble
may haye been the result of worms
S. That the diseases, general!
speaking, were not of an epizooti
nature, sporadic, that is origina
ting in each instance on the indi
vidual farm and plantation, ant
that the animal affected were sub
iected more or less alike, to tn
same exciting cause.
9. That the term "hog cholera
should be limited to the specifi
bacterial and high contagious dis
ease of that name, and should nc
be used for almost every. diseas
that hog flesh is heir to.
| 10. That if the fact was NOR
generally appreciated, that hcg
were animate creatures, and st.
ceptible to as many complaints q
other beings with life, and vel
treated as such, and if they recel
