HOG CHOLERA.
Franklin Co., vt.

I have lost UP to this time about
twenty hogs with cholera and have
more sick ones that will surely die un
less they get relief. Ihave been giving
them freely of turpentine and linseed
oil and using copperas freely about
their runs, but 1 can't stop it. Can
you direct me what to do7 I am like
the fellow that fell off of the bridge.
who is said to have exclaimed: Lord,
save me and be quick about it." If
you al do me any good you will have
to be quick about it" Q. B.
Parkersburg, ". Va.
Answer by Horace Atwood, Assist
ant A~griculturist ". Va. Experiment
Station.
There is no known remedy for hog
cholera, and that can be done is to pre-
vent the infection of healthy animals.
The disease is caused by a minute or
ganism which is taken into the system,
where it multiplies rapidly, causing
Inflammation Of the large intestine,
and finally death. The problem is how
to prevent healthy hogs from being in
fected. This can best be done as fol
lows:
o. Remove all healthy hogs to unin-
fected pens.
90 Burn or bury all carcasses.
81 Clean and disinfect the premises
thoroughly.
a. Feed all hogs according to the
following prescription:
Wood charcoal, 1 pound.
Sulphur, 1 pound.
Salt NaCO, pounds.
Sodium carbonate, 2 pounds.
Sodium hyposulphite, 2 pounds.
Sodium sulphate, 1 pound.
Anthony sulphide, 1 pound.
The above to be thoroughly pulver,
lied and mixed.
Dose: Tablespoonful to each 200
pounds weight. Given only once a
day.
Among the disinfectants which are
recommended by the Department of
Animal Industry are the following:
No. 1. Slaked or unslaked lime, used
both as a powder and as slaked lime,
containing abouS 5 to 10 per cent. of
dry lime Crom ! to 1 pound Of lime to
q gallon of water.
No. 2. Crude carbolic acid, prepared
by adding to the crude carbolic acid
obtainabIe from druggists at about 80
cents a gallon an equal quantity of or
binary sulphuric acid. This mixture
is to be carefully added to water in the
proportion of 2 ounces to 1 gallon Of
water, about II per cent. volume.
No. 3. A1per cent. solution (volumc)
of ordinary sulphuric acid Q4 ounces
of the acid to 1 gallon of water).
No. 4. A 2 per cent. solution of pure
carbolic acid. This is prepared by
heating the crystals slightly until they
melt and adding the resulting liquid to

Hard ON q Watch.

SIT is bad practice to be continually set
ting watch by the stem setter, observed
watch repairer to reportey, s'for it has
tendency to wear out the band that at
taohes the hands to the pinion. The hands
are frightened to the pinion as firmly as
they can be, and every setting loosens
them somewhat. There is class of per-
sons who set their watches every day
rather than give little attention to the
matter of regulating them. They find
that the watch gains or loses minute or
few minutes In each "a hours, and in
stead of curing this by the regulator,
which is put in the watch for that express
purpose and no other, they force back or
forward the hands by the stem setter or
by key. If the hand pinion wears out,
which it frequently does, 1t Is considerable
of job to put in a new one or place new
hands on it, and the work necessarily
costs something, for which repairers have
to charge for their work. If a person
knows that watch gains or loses GER
tain amount in each day, 1t is better to
calculate back or forward than to be con
tinually setting it. A little study of the
regulator will do the work much better
without the risk of wearing out any
thing. Washington Star

NOTICED THIS BEFORE.
You Probably Have and May Have
Spoken About 1t.

The reader of this newspaper, II he
takes the time and trouble to look care
fully through its columns, will probably
find half dozen statements tackled onto
the bottom Of reading notices about
medicinal preparations. Note this fact.
In ea and every case as far as Portland
is concerned; as far as the re adler s knowl-
edge of the party is concerned, he might as
we'll live in the moon Make another note
of this. The only remedy on the market
that gives testimony at home, local proof
in every town and city of the Union, to
back up its claims, is Doan's Kidney
Pills, They all try it, but they cannot
do it. Why they are unable to do it, can
safely be left with the reader to draw his
own conclusion. Here is Portland proof
for Portland readers.
Mr.. Chas. A. Beale, of No. 20 Boyd
ST., says: ssDoan's Kidney Pills did me
a world of good. was ailing for some
time with my kidneys and back. If lay
down for while and then got on my
feet [ was go lame that I could hardly
move. was all right If took anything
from a shelf higher than my head. but
just the moment bent over with it, that
moment it caught me. The bladder was
not in healthy condition for the kidney
secretions annoyed Inc particularly at
night. saw Doan's Kidney pills adver-
tied to reotify such troubles and went
to the drug store of II. H. Hay q Sons.
at the junction of Free and Middle
streets, and procured them Their action
was prompt and permanent for l have
had no trace of my old trouble since ]
stopped using them. -

cents. by all dealers. Mailed by Foster

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The applioa-

fad it is SO often seen, yet it has real
" little to recommend it as far as beau

the patterns are awfully scrawly and
few are pretty. Those where brown is

color with which it harmonizes are not
so bad, but the white on black is not
pleasing; yet there are many So.
One black serge suit had white cloth

curves following each other in the odd

and when he was made bishop Of LANDAU,
an honest publican in Cambridge, who
kept an inn called the Bishop Blaise, -
out of respect to Dr.. Watson, changed his
sign and replaced the head of Bishop
