About the weather.

He had just returned from the top Of the

"How was the weather when you left!'
inquired a friend. "Cold%
Yes, but not so bad as it will be along
in January, after the mosquitoes get out
Of the air and let the wind have chance
Then it gets good and cold. A man told
me who had wintered up there seven years
that it, was SO cold in January that they
froze the flames of their candles and sold
them for strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them out
in the air and letting them freeze and then
thawed them out in the morning. He said
he had seen four men die Of collie from
eating whisky that was frozen so hard it
wouldn't thaw inside of them. He said
the cows all gave ice cream till they froze
to death. He said he knew a clerk in a
the, diamonds he wore, said diamonds being
nothing on earth but ice crystals that
didn't thaw till after the clerk had got out
Of the country. He said he had seen man
fall off the roof barn and freeze SO
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he. hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in a chimney till the fire
wouldn't draw, and he knew of one case
where the smoke froze after it got 100 feet
up. and fell back on the house, knocking a
hole in the roof big enough to drive yoke
Of steers through. He said the reason the
nights were SO long in that country was
that the dark got froze so hard the daylight
couldn't thaw its way through in less than
six months. He said"

A Costly Error to swine Ralsers Of the
Country.

Costly Error to Swine Ralsers of the
Country.
AT first thoughtit would seem n mat
ter of but little Importance whether
log cholera is contagious or infectious,
but very common error on this very
point costs the swine raisers of this
country many millions of dollars an.
nually. Hog cholera is not a cont tn
gious disease. There is not particle
of danger that hogs will contract the
disease from hogs that have it, Or die
with 1t. The disease is infectious, the
germs surviving in lilth, or in the soil
where cholera-infected hogs have run
These germs are taken into the system
by way of the mouth, and by that way
only, with the exception that an ami
NAL having cut or abrasion of the
skin may get the germs by incubation.
Therefore it is obvious that the com
mon practice of removing the sick hogs
from the herd does no good whatever,
while the we'll ones are permitted to re-
main on the infected ground. The
proper course Is obviously to remove
the well hogs to an uninfected locality
and then to thoroughly disinfect the
infected place or places. 1t is belle we'd
that plowing the ground once or twice
during the winter will destroy the
germs by freezing them ont. Pasteur's
great disinfectant for both hog and
chicken cholera is to sprinkle thor.
oughly with diluted sulphuric acid
one pound to twenty gallons of water.
There is no known remedy for this dis.
ease. A few hogs recover, but IL has
not been demonstrated that such re-
coveries are in response to any medical
treatment. Preventive measures only
are worthy OF consideration, and SO
far Ms at present known these consist
Of judicious quarantine, prompt remov.
al OF hogs from an infected locality.
aud inoculation with an appropriate
virus. Disinfection by the sulphuric
acid process should always be resorted
to-Farm and Ranch.

There is u golden mean in feeding
animals that should be observed,
There is i tendency where one takes
pride in horses TO feed too much. The
liberal feeder should take especial
pains to provide abundant exercise,
In the case OF team reduced In flesl,
by hard Labor during the summer and
autumn, feeding up to recruit in win-
ter is essential. Feeding alone, how
ever, without moderate work, leaves
the creatures in softened flesh, which
vanishes before the heavy work of
spring.
If it 10 the intention to sell horses
in early spring, they should, by all
means, be fed up to u plump condition.
and the muscles should be hardened
ny moderate work. The careful buyer
lnspeets more than the outside appear
ance. He expects constitution and en-.
durance as well as clear sight and
sound limbs Too often the gait of the
colt is neglected to the detriment of its
sale. loo often striking, interfering
and forging will permanently impair
the limbs or feet, when by attention In
time these defects nigh! have been
permanently cured by use Of proper de.
wees. The expense of shoeing in the
course OF years might also be much re-
duced where the policy of prevention
Is adopted in the early stages. Colts
as well as children may be corrected in
faults OF carriage and gait, as well as
other habits and such training adds
largely to their value.
The teams intended for the regular
work OF the coming seoson, il in fair
condition at this time, may be fed mod
erately in proportion to the exercise or
work performed in winter, and will be
In better condition for spring labor
than if overwhelmed. Winter grazing
or, in lieu OF this, ensilage, roots, vege.
tables, bran and other cooling rations
should be afforded every alternate day:
at least, it is desirable to prevent any
leverish condition of the organs of di
gestion. The occasional irritation
found in the disposition OF the older
horses arise from neglect of proper
cooling diet In winter.-Farm and
