1t comes to US that one or two gentle
men who attended the school board
convention at the court house on Satur-
day, took occasion to denounce the new
text book law as corporation measure
and an outrage on the people. We are
sorry that there are those who will en-
Geavor to create political strife when
there is 10 excuse for 1t: Under the
new law books will be cheaper than ev-
er before, and children OF goor parents
will be great deal better provided for
than they were previously. We do not
say that the law could not have been
better, we believe 1t could be improved,
but as it stands il is infinitely better
than the old arrangement. The books
adopted, as whole, arefully equal to
those formerly in use and we fall TO un.
derstand why anyone who processes to
fasor economy and good schools should
begin to heE:, It is our opinion that
there are few men ia Barber county
who would rather see the schools dis
organized than to approve of measure
adopted by legislative body which is
anti-republican.

HOG CHOLERA REMEDY.

CRIsFIELD. KAN, July "a. 1897. !.
EDS. INDEX: I herewith send you
hog cholera recipe; one that l have
tried and know to be good, and if there
be such thing as a sure cure l believe
this is the one:
Arsenic, half ID.
Cape Aloes. half Id.
Blue Vitriol. quarter 10.
Black Anthony or.
Grind and mix well before using.
Dose: For large hogs, one teaspoon
ful three times per day for three days,
then miss one day and repeat, giving
the medicine as at first till cured. Pigs
and smaller hogs, one half the amount.
AS preventive, give one teaspoonful
twice per week if the disease is among
the herd already, but if not one half
that amount will likely be sufficient.
The mode of giving the remedy is
fully as important as anything. Do not
give 1T in milk. for the milk is an anti
poison and Will destroy the effects of
the medicine.
Make slop of bran, shorts, dishwater,
ETC., but do not use milk of any kind
unless it be a very little might be put in
the slop for the well hogs.
1t can be given by mixing it with
soaked corn and feeding at night after
the poultry have all gone to roost. 1t
is deadly poison to everything but
hogs. In case it be given in soaked
corn, the corn should not be soaked
more than 10 or Y hours if it be in hot
weather.
1t should not be given to sick hogs
only in one Of two ways-either by Civ
ing it iii slop or by hurliug the hog on
his back holding his month open with a
stick, and putting it down his throat as
far as possible with long handed
spoon. Never drench the hogs when
giving 1t with the spoon; be sure and
give it dry.
l have tried carbOlic acid and sulpur-
&c acid apd coperas which consider all
good remedies, but do not consider
them sure cure nor even a sure pre-
ventige.
have lost 43 head of hogs and pigs
since June Is. All have died since Ju-
ly 4, but one, and the first remedy here
in mentioned has effected a cure OH
some of ny hogs, while the acids have
been used very etfectually as prevent
ives.
L will give the acid remedy also that
others may use it If they prefer. 1t is
much easisr given than the arsenic:
Carbolic acid, 2 OF.
Sulphuric acid, 2 OF.
Operas, ID.
Pot in 2 gallcn jug of warm water,
let stand for hours and it is ready for
use. One pint to two gallons of water
or slop will be sufficient, and do not
give any slop or water that does not
contain the solution in proportions
given.
Feed just as little corn as possible.
Do not give any to the sick ones. They
may lie around for week before they
should have a grain.
The sick hogs should be put in a pen
to themselves, or what is better, put
the well ones in a good sized pen with
plenty Of green stuff and turn the sick
ones outside.
The arsenic, ETC., remedy l under
stand, has been published in several
papers lately and should be Ill the
hands OF every man who handles or ex-
poets to raise hogs. Very respectfully,
G. f. WARE.
