Human Beings Have Often Been At
tackled by 1t.
Psychologists believe there is no
cause for alarm in regard to the appear
ance of anthrax in this country, but it
occurs in rare instances and a supposed
case recently excited considerable COM
mcnt. In it's most malignant form the
disease exists in oriental countries.
Cattle and occasionally horses are at
tackled by it. In these animals it mani
tests itself as splenic fever. Man, in
any climate, may be inoculatedx with
anthrax. If his hand should have an
abrasion and be brought in contact with
hides infected with anthrax bacilli, the
disease is likely to manifest itself as
contagious carbuncle, malignant pus-
tule, or wool sorters' and hair combers'
disease. If there is rapid treatment by
excision of infected flesh, after in0cu-
lation, the patient may recover. Unless
treatment is speedy virulent local in
dammation "attended with sloughing
and speedy system poisoning results.
There is great prostration after inocula-
ton, and death from exhaustion often
follows in a day or two. The dust of in
tected wool or hair, invading the lungs
or windpipe, poisons surrounding It's
sues and ends life with distressing
symptoms. The preparation ofsanthrax
vaccine was among the earliest of Pas
tours great works. It is said that from
100000 to 100000 animals are vac
cinated in Europe every year.-Chicago

THE FARMING. WORLD.
FATTENlNG HOGS.

Fall IL the Time Above All Others to
Push the Porkers.
The corn field and the hog are COM
ing closer and closer together. Just as
soon as the grain begins to dent, we be-
ginst cut up the corn and feed it to the
hogs that are to he fattened. Howsthey
will pick up on it. The longer the hog
il. kept after cold weather sets in, the
more expensive the animal is. We like
to fatten quickly and send to market,
and we can feed all the corn the hog will
eat from the stage above described
until the animal is ready to market. We
feed nothing but corn during the fat
tening season. If the animal has been
on good pasture and fed lot of mill
stuhs during the summer, it needs moth

During the fattening process the hog is

WHAT THE EGGS COST.

The Profit Depends Entirely ON the
Cost of the Food.
If a farmer has a flock that must be
confined in yards, and fed twice day, il
is doubtful if the eggs received will
more than pay for the food consumed,
The estimate of the cost of eggs is based
on the fact that the amount necessary
to be expended on laying hen for one
year, provided all food must be allowed
her from the storehouse of the owner,
is one dollar, while the average number
of eggs laid by, each hen during ona
year is estimated al 100 This makes
.e~ssy egg cost one CERT. But it doe,
not cost one dollar ayear for each hen
except where they must be kept under
adverse conditions. Hens on farms
cost the farmers not over'25 cents hen
a year because the hens are self-sup.
porting during a portion of the time,
and also becauset they consume and util.
ize a great, many substances that
possess no value TO the farmer. 1T i.
true that the hens occupy land that i,
usually devoted to some crop, such al
grass, fruit, etc, and which may also
be occupied by the fowls entirely. The
profit from eggs must depend on the
cost of the food and the prices OBJ
tanned: There is wide difference be.
tween IL cents and 20 cents a dozen fol
eggs, and if we estimate the cost of an
egg at one cent, the difference of one
cent dozen in the price obtained may
change profit to a loss or nothing al
all. There are hundreds of farmers who
sell eggs at only eight cents "a dozen,
owing to distance and lack of transpor.
tation facilities to market, but the cost
