THE WONDERFUL ALBITRoss.

Tho albatross has been the theme OF poets and
naturnlists ever since tho first one dawned upon
the sight OF man. The scientist has offered many
theories for tho birds ionR-sustnined power OF
flight, but 1t remains as much OF Il mystery ms
ever. An albatross will follow in n ships wake
for days, sailing steadily along with 40 motions
OF the wings, silent and inscrutable MS fate, No
other motions than an occasional veor OF tho
wings when the bird desires to turn an anglo Is

OF sailing along, 1t Is very hard for it to rise

and the Auckland Islands. No lighthouse rcars

involved in hostilities with n tough riti-

friends of tho tough came TO his rescue. the

five OF them in succession, and then nearly ham
tempted TO arrest him, He was In the custody

Upon the much discussed question OF
whether there is a material difference IN
tho feeding value Of yellow and white corn
Professor 6. T.. Morrow writes:
Chemical analysis shows no apprecia-
bic difference dependent on the color Of

composition Of different varieties and CON
siderable difference in the structure OF the

varieties have very hard kernels. While

HOG CHOLERA, SWINE PLAGUE.
Dread Diseases Which Have Carried

Editor Constitutfon-As there is a great
diversity of opinion In regard 20 hog

two separate and distinct diseases. viz:
hog cholera and swine plague. While
cholera Kills more hogs than all other dis
eases. yet swine plague IS very destructive

labor than cholera.
Hog cholera can be arrested within thirty
minutes and 90 per cent OF sick hogs can
be cured. 1t may be prevented 50 that
they win not contract the disease even
when others attacked with the disease are
brought among them.
Swine plague can be arrested within
forty-eight hours and 90 per cent OF hogs
cured and IL can be prevented 50 that no
moro will take it. thus entirely stamping
