FEEDING THE PIGS.
Errors Made the First Three Days After
Birth Are Fatal

The first two or three days of the
pigs life is a critical period. If mis-
take is made by the feeder, the error
is fatal to success. On the first day
pure water only, with the chill taken
off, should be provided.
On the second day only II thin stop
of wheat middlings must be given spar
ingly, with care to give too little rather
than too much. A good SOW is great
mixer, and if fed literally when the
pigs are small, they will not be able
to take all the milk, and the result is
caked udder or fever and the conse-
qnent drying up of the milk. After
the second day the feed can be grad
I ually increased as the pigs are able to
take all the milk. and both sows and
pigs will thrive, and the pigs will grow
as no other live stock on farm grows
In f"v 'a'-s they will Shov. - Mi.

TOOK THE OATH ABROAD.
william Rufus King, Who Was Running
Mate with Franklin Pierce.

William Rufus King (born April 8,
1886; died April 1s, 1859 was vice pres
ident of the United States who never
served in that capacity, and one who
took the oath of Office on foreign soil
something which can be said of no
other executive officer elected by the
people of this country. King was an
invalid, says the ST. Louis Republic,
but his friends urged him to take sec
ond place on the ticket with Pierce in
1852. Both were elected, but Mr..
Kings health failed So rapidly that he
was forced to go to Cuba early in 1853,
some two and half months before in
auguration day. Not having returned
to the United States by March 4, con-
gress passed a special act authorizing
the United States consul at Mantanzas,
Cuba, to swear him in as vice president
at about the hour when Pierce was talk
ing the oath OF Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to a
dot, and on the day appointed, at a
plantation on one of the highest hills
of Mantanzas, Mr.. King was made vice
president of the United States amid the
solemn "Vaya vol, con Dios" God will
be with YOU of the creoles who had as
sembled to witness the unique specta-
Gle. Vice President King returned to
his home at Cahawba, Ala, arriving at
that place on April L. 1853, and died on
the following day. His remains were
laid to rest on a plantation known as
"Pine Hills"

A FUNNY MANS IDEAL WIFE.
His Cumbersome Logic Not In 1t with
Her Good Common Sense.

His Cumbersome Logic Not In 1t with
Her Good Common Sense.
My ideal wife, writes Bill Nye in the
Philadelphia Press, is comrade who
wins me from down town, and who
agrees with me generally, and IL not,
it is quite likely to be because | am
wrong. She is one who has repeatedly
proved that her impressions are better
than the expensive opinions of my at
torney.
She sees where danger lies while |
am cropping about, by means of cum
bersome logic, to arrive later at the
same conclusion.
She does not claim to be literary, but
discovers at once when an author be-
comes artificial and writes from the
head rather than the heart
She is level-headed, rather than
strong-minded. She knows when to
applaud her husband without making
goose of him, and how to criticise
without offending him.
She delights in benefiting the needy
whom she knows, rather than make
blanc mango for the people on the Up
per Congo. She does not saw kind
words by long distance telephone, but
anticipates the wants of the deserving
in her own neighborhood.
She can give pointers to a profess
sional cook, and compels good service
because she is familiar with all the de-
tails of good housekeeping.
She can transact business whenever
an emergency arises, but is glad to
turn it over to the husband when he is
at hand.
The ideal wife is also the ideal moth
er. She has no abnormal affection for
wheezy dogs.
She is good fellow with her hus-
band, and the confidante and comrade
of her sons and daughters.
She reveres the honest elements of
religion without being a beggar or
hustler for the church She does not
neglect her home or her children in or
der to wipe out church debt, which
should not have been incurred.
She is the kind of a woman to en-
courage wedlock by her glorious ex-
ample. She is the kind to make con-
tirmed bachelors and old maids pitv
themselves.
Finally, she compels her husband to
congratulate himself, and to wonder
what he would have been without her.
She is unselfish. She is healthy in
mind and body, and she is the mother
OF good citizens. She makes the world
better for having lived in it, and of
of such is the kingdom of Heaven"

BURIALS IN ANCIENT JAPAN.
Practice of tho Old Times Which Has
Beeu Discontinued.

Practice of tho Old Times Which Has
Been Discontinued.
Prior TO the year GAG A. ID. the jap
anese had one of the most horrible
burial customs that can be imagined
that of burrying the immediate friends
and retainers of a prince or other per-
son Of note in a standing position
around the potentate's grave, and leav-
ing them in the earth up to their necks
to perish of thirst and hunger, says the
St. Louis Republic. The custom can
not be said to have been general as late
as the date given, for the Japanese
records prove that in the time Of the
Emperor Suinin (97-3O B. c the burial
rites of royal personages were so modi-
fed as to partially abolish former
cruelties. Speaking of a young brother
of Suinin, who died and had his retinue
buried standing around his grave, the
old record says: For many days they
died not, but wept and cried aloud. At
last they died. Dogs and crows assem-
bled and ate off their heads. The en-
peror's compassion was aroused and he
desired to change the manner of burial.
When the empress died soon after the
milado inquired of his officers if some
thing in the way of change could not
be suggested, and one proposed to
make clay figures of men and bury
them as substitutes"
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by an
edict issued in the year GAG A. ID. (the
date given first above), which forbade
the burial of living persons around the
graves of noted persons and provided a
penalty for further adherence to the
awful rite

TWO SWINE DISEASES.
How to Treat Animals Suffering from
Thumps or Scours.

Thumps or Scours.
In his address before a Wisconsin
institute, S. II. Todd gave the following
remedies and treatments for two COM
mon troubles in swine:
Thumps.-You ask what to do for it /?
l say feed your brood SOW differently.
If you don't you are sure to have that
disease which has carried off so MANY
thousand pigs. If you have the disease
sometimes it is good to apply coal oil on
the stomach of the pig, bathing him
thoroughly, and perhaps giving him n
little; another good thing is to givesthc
pigs exercise, and if they won't take Il
themselves, go in with little switch
and drive them out. But the best thing
is to prevent it, and very often it is
wisest to take club and give them one
more thump and get out of it in that
way. If they wear the disease out the
pigs will never amount to much. W,
are justified in keeping only the kind Of
pigs that will return to us the greatest
profit, according to the present market
price of pork.
Scours.-How many times we make n
mistake in not feeding the mother prop,
erly, and the pigs get to securing, and
they are put back for a whole week or
more. We must feed her very lightly.
and If the pigs do commence to scour
give her teaspoonful of copperas: dis
solve it in her slop; that will regulate
the whole business. After the pigs are
two or three weeks old provide plac,
for them by themselves and begin to
feed them. Here again don't make the
mistake of having one of those V
shaped troughs unless you want your
pigs to have long noses and to wrangle
over their food and spill swill all over
themselves. They want to be clean
that is their nature, but you have pre-
vented them from being so. Let them
have little trough by themselves and
have the feed as near like milk as you
can make it. We use oilmeal and corn !;
] had rather use middlings than any
thing else, with little oilmeal. |
think that is the best pig food that we
can get. Make the food thin; use wa
ter, if you haven't milk.

Beware /.
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. C.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S:S. is the only
real blood remedy; IT gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

THE VETO DID NOT APPEAR
The Mayer Will Take Advantage OF ths
Full Time Limit
Why No Action Was Taken on the Board OF
Health Ordinance by the Council
Yesterday

The mayor did not send message to
the city council yesterday vetoing the
ordinance providing for the appoint
ment of employees of the health depart
ment by the council instead Of by the
board of health, as has heretofore been
the custom As has been stated In The
Herald. 1t has been generally UNDER
stood that President Silver and Mr..
Nickel had been left out of the combine.
and It was not believed that they would
vote to pass the ordinance over the veto.
but as II takes another vote to prevent
the passage over the veto, and this not
being forthcoming by yesterday morn
ing, the mayor evidently concluded to
avail himself of the full time limit. ten
DAYS. before filing his veto message.
This time expires on Thursday and tho
document will probably be filed on that
day. 1t will not come before the council
until Monday next. and another weeks
time will be gained.
In this connection 1t might be just as
well to state that ever since the expose
in The Herald of Thursday last there
has been considerable commotion. not
only among the members of the council
who are in the combine, but also those
on the outside who are interested In
seeing the new order of things go
through. On Saturday evening there was
quite lengthy caucus. and Sunday the
members interested were in great good
humor. having apparently satisfied
themselves that II was practically inn
possible to cause break in their ranks.
But 1t was necessary to make some
changes In the program, in view OF the
publicity which had been given 1t, and
this has also been brought about. Mr..
Hollingsworth Is quoted as saying that
he had too much political sense to have
street sweeping inspector appointed
from the Seventh ward after all the
newspaper talk on the subject. and that
this matter had been arranged. The
deal as agreed upon, II Is reported, Is
that Mr.. Blanchard of the Ninth ward.
who by the way, is also chairman of the
board of Public works. is to be allowed
to name the street sweeping inspector,
and Mr. Ashman's man Fersch will be
placed as an inspector.
There Is also some trouble over the
appointment of the meat and milk in
spector. DIR. Blackington. the former
incumbent, 1t is claimed. is slated for
this place. which is at the disposal Of
Mr.. Mathuss of the Third ward. Those
who are opposed to DR.. Blackington
have dug up the letter which was used
against him when his first appointment
came UP. and In which he Is charged
with certain matters by his fellow vet
erirarians. This letter. 1t Is claimed,
has been given to Mr.. Mathuss. and In
consequence that gentleman does not
know whether he wants to appoint him
or not.
The above are just a few sidelights
to show that the path of the office-seeker
is not altogether one of roses.
