An Authors Wife.

Mrs. Thomas Hardy seems to be in
valuable to her husband, outside of her
housekeeping capacity. It is his
boast that she keeps herself so well
posted in the literature of the day that
he finds himself constantly drawing
from her fund Of knowledge. 1t was
Mrs. Hardy who induced her husband
to forsake architecture for literature
as profession, and it was she who
copied out his first novel and sent it to
the publisher.

Handling Baled Hay.

It is difficult to lift an ordinary bale

Cough in Young Pigs.


Cough may CONE from sore throat or
bronchitis in young pigs, as in other
animals, and may be chargeable to ex-
posture to cold and damp. With sore
throat the open mouth may show
throat red, infamed and swollen. With
bronchitis the cough is at first hard
and barking, and later soft and CUR
Cling. Both may be treated by a clean,
warm, dry, we'll Uttered pen; in the
case of weaned pigs, by warm, soft
food. A wooden rag tied around the
throat or chest, as the case may de-
mand, will often do good, and a tea
spoonful Of strong ammonia inside
this cloth will usually prove valuable
as counter-irritant.
In other cases the cough is due TO
worms in the bronchial tubes of the
lungs, and in such a case the affection
is likely to attack successive filters in
the same pen, irrespective of weather
or exposure. The temperature of the
body, too, rarely rises above the nor
NAL QO3 deg. F) The cough is Wheel
ing or rafting, and masses of mucous
are sometimes expelled by the mouth.
Those masses should be carefully eX-
amined for the worms, one or two
inches long and the thickness of a
tine white thread, which will give the
certainty of their presence in the lungs
These cases should be treated by
fumigations with burning sulphur in a
close building, the administrator stay
ing with the animals and letting the
air in or the pigs out whenever he
finds the air too concentrated for his
own breathing. This should be done
daily for half an hour for a week, and
repeated again for the same length of
time after an interval of a week Ad-
vantage may also be had from fifteen
drops of turpentine in one-half ounce
Of sweet oil for a few days-Prof.

Buying Bran Instead of Corn.

DISlA AAStS1Au VI ooAAAs
Although corn is now very cheap, 1T
does not follow that it is the best grain
feed to purchase by farmers who find
their own grain supplies insufficient.
Cheap corn means always cheap oats,
bran and mill feed, and any Of these
make a much richer manure pile than
does corn. In fact, where the grain
is to be fed on the farm, bran, wheat
middlings and either inseed or cotton
seed meal are either Of them better
feed for the manure made from them
than is corn. They are often sold at
very little higher price than their value
as manure if the same plant food has
to be bought in commercial form. Be-
sides. on most eastern farms the corn
can be grown quite as cheaply as it can
be bought. This cannot usually be
done with f1axseed, and cannot be
done at all in the north with cotton
seed. BY growing the corn he re-
quires, the eastern farmer will have
a large amount Of coarse fodder and
carbonaceous grain. This will make
it to his vantage.-American Guilt

The Sunf1ower and It's Uses.

The sunfower is a native Of America.
In 1869 it was introduced into Europe,
and is now extensively cultivated
there, particularly in Russia, where
it has been grown for fifty years, prin-
cipally for the oil contained in it's
seeds. The seeds, after the shells are
removed, contain 81 per cent Of oil.
This oil is clear, light yellow, nearly
odorless. and of a peculiar pleasant
and mild taste. 1t is said to be super
ior to both almond and olive Oil for
table purposes, and is used in making
soap and candles. In Russia the larg-
er seeds are sold in immense quaint
ties to the lower classes of the people,
who eat the kernels as we do peanuts.
The stalks furnish valuable fertilizer,
while the green leaves are dried, pull
verified and mixed with meal as food
for cows. The stalk produces an ex-
cellent fiber. It is said that Chinese
silk goods commonly contain more or
less sunfower fiber. The so-called
Niger-seed oil is made from a species
of the sunfower family, which is
native Of Abyssinia. It furnishes the
common lamp oil Of Upper India
where it is largely cultivated.

More potatoes were produced in the
United States last year than ever be-
fore in any one season by nearly 1OO,-
100000 bushels. The result of this
great over-production has been ruin
ously low prices, and farmers who car
ried their potatoes over are now taking
them from their cellars and selling at
from 4 to 6 cents per bushel, provided
they can find buyers at that low price.
Potatoes properly prepared make good
feed for stock and are being largely
used for that purpose in the Eastern
states at present. The manufacturing
of starch from potatoes is becoming
quite an industry and we understand
that nearly all Of the large factories
are using enormous quantities of pota-
toes, from which they are making
starch to be stored away until prices
improve. Starch manufacturers report
a very light demand for this product at
present and claim that there is at
least a two years supply on hand. A
we'll known mining man remarked that
he did not believe in the great cry of
hard times when potatoes could be pur-
chased at 6 cents per bushel, but if he
had stopped to reason a little he would
he would have discovered that the hard
times during the past two years have
had considerable to do toward reducing
the price Of potatoes to this unheard Of

OEss ADVISES pEacf.


Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Eugene v. Debs
attended meeting Of Branch No. / Of
the Social Democracy, last night, and
lectured its members soundly on the
incendiary speeches Of the preceding
Sunday. Mr. Debs told them In plain
language he did not favor the use OF
the dagger or the torch. He re-
pudiated the talk Of revolution. He de-
clared that violence and bloodshed had
no part in the plans Of Social Democ-
racy.
He said the hope of Social Democracy
lay in peaceful methods. and he pointed
to the ballot as the remedy for the evils
complained Of He told the Anarchistic
element in plain terms that 1t would
be better to withdraw from the organ
ization.
John J. Cook caused a mild sensation
by resigning his membership and de-
claring that Debs had practically
abandoned the colonization scheme and
was seeking to make political party.
Fitzgerald Murphy, chairman Of the
executive board OF Branch No. 1, frank
ly acknowledged he had committed q
mistake in making an inflammatOry
speech, and he announced he would en-
deavor to carry out Mr.. Deb's pro-
gramme'of peace.

NJ. j. Greene as Ivan Ogardof is way

Count Alexis and Michael Bazaron re-
spectively were just the article. jim

Through Russian Shows. 81

A representative audience attended
the production of Edward f. Rose
melo drama, Through Russian Shows
by Mr.. Greene's company. at City hall,
last evening. The piece was written
for Mr.. Greene, and Mr.. Rose was here
to look after the production of it, TAX
ing an important part in the cast. The
plot is one that can only be concOcted
in that land of shudders, Russia, where
every man is every other mans, enemy
almost and it constituted scheme to
bring a beautiful young woman to the
submission of Ivan Ogardoff, the chief
of the Russian police; the crushing of
other lives which had become obnox-
ious to the cruel Ogardoff. Neil Patoff,
Russian, who had left his home for
America and had become thoroughly
AmericaniZed, had returned to Russia
as civil engineer of the great Siberian
railroad, unknown to anyone that had
known him in his youth, comes to the
front in the defense Of the young
woman whom he loves. You would
never think he had been born a Rus
sian, he is so thoroughly American.
Anyway, the plot is contemplated
and the stirring scenes thrill one with
the patriotic inspiration that appeals to
the senses to keen degree. Mr.. Greene
as Patoff shows up strongly and is the
personification of the Americans ideal
hero. Mr.. Rose who enacts the role of

EIGHTEEN CASES
Of Yellow Fever Appear, Mon
day, at New Orleans.
Or. Holt Violates the Law in Not
Promptly Reporting Cases.

the Other Districts.

New Orleans, Sept. 20.-The largest
number OF cases reported on any day
since yellow fever first made its APP
pearance in New Orleans, two weeks
ago, was recorded on the books OF the
board Of health. this evening, although
not single case had proven fatal dur
ing the day. There were IS cases in
all.
The most sensational incident of the
day was the announcement from DIR.
Holt, expressed to the board of health,
that he had discovered nine cases
among his practice. DIR. Holt sent a
special messenger to the residence OF
Dr.. Olliphant at u o'clock last night,
giving this information, and inspectors
were sent to the various houses where
DIR. Holt reported sickness to exist.
The places were all disinfected and
guards placed in front of them, but
the board said it had very little hope
Of the effectiveness of these measures.
since all those who desired were given
an opportunity to escape from the in
fected houses.
Shortly after the board of health was
made acquainted with the contents OF
the letter of DIR. Holt. it held an execu-
tive conference and decided to imme-
diateiy order it's board of experts to
visit the nine cases and decide whether
or not they are suffering with yellow
| fever
When the experts proceeded to the first
house DR.. Holt entered an objection and
refused them permission to examine any
of his patients. taking the position that
he had properly diagnosed them and be-
| ing an expert himself, there was no Occa-
sion for further investigation.
| After the experts made their report, the
board of health went into executive ses-
sion, and discussed at length what was

ordinance which he himself had passed

who fails to report a positive or suspi-
| cious case of yellow fever in period like

The question of the immediate prosecu-
| ton of DR.. Holt came up and was con-
| sidered. but the board finally decided to
summon DIR. Holt to appear before them
and explain, tomorrow. his alleged negli-
gcnce. The result of the meeting. tomor-
row. will decide whether or not there
shall he prosecution of DR.. Holt in the
courts.
The brightest feature of the day was
that there were no deaths. Tonight, most
of the patients i'm the city were reported
as doing well. Trouble in two cases was
reported in the effort to enforce Quaran-
tine regulations. This morning, down
town, one man managed to escape from
the infected quarter, and was chased and
arrested and after being arraigned in
court and frightening everybody present
was sent back to his home.
This evening. report was received
that a man had appeared in front of one
of the infected hotses up town. armed
