NATIONAL REGATTA ENTRIES.
List Not So Large as I'm Formsl-
Years, But of High Class


Years, But of High Class.
The secretary of the National Associa-
tion of Amateur Oarsmen has sent out to
the various clubs in the association the
list of entries received by him for the
national regatta, which will be held on
the Schuylkill Philadelphia, on Fri
day and Saturday of This week
The list is not so large as in former
years, but it includes scullers and crews
of high class, and the events will doubt
less be interesting enough TO draw out
large crowds. Ten Eyck, champion scul-
Ter, will be one of the attractive features.
The regatta will begin at $3.50 o'clock
each afternoon, and There will be n race
each half hour until the program of the
day is completed

THE PIGS.

While there is seldom any loss when
this work is done by a skillful person,
still there are proper times for the best
results. The younger the pigs for easy
handling the better. When the pigs
weigh from 30 to so pounds we a do
the work rapidly, and without hard
work for the holder, writes a CORE
spondent in the National Stockman.
When they get up to rs pounds or up
wards, then it becomes a matter of
hard work, and with the age and size
the risk from loes increases to some ex
tent. If it amounts to nothing more
than being off feed a few times the
loss is greater for a large than q small
pig. For when a pig is off feed he not
only fails to gain but loses in flesh. 1t
Is much the best plan to attend to this
necessary work while the pigs are still
sucking, for a pig must be very sick
not to suck.
The weather also has much to do
with securing the greatest success. Dry
and dusty weather is to be avoided if
possible. A rainy spell Of weather in
the spring or early summer is much to
be preferred to a dry and dusty time.
They do much better if they can lie in
the mud than they do when they must
lie in the dust.
The work should always be done in
the morning, as they will move about
during the day and thus escape much
of the soreness that would follow even-
ing work. When done in the evening
and they go at once to their beds, and
remain till morning, they come out
very stiff. Pigs that are ruptured
should be castrated as soon as they are
large enough, the older they get the
greater risk Of total loss. The work
should be done-it possible-betore tn,
heat OF the season or day becomes ex

cessive. When very warm it is an
easy matter to overhead a pig In high
flesh and kill him.
When it is warm a cool pen about
the buildings should be selected and 1t
will be an aid to dampen the floor well.
The work is always more pleasant as
regards cleanliness il the floor OF the
pen is well covered with clean straw.
When this work is to be done IN the
fall season a pleasant day should be
selected, one not likely to be followed
by a cold, raw storm. II there are
sick hogs in the neighborhood the work
should be delayed, as the wounds fur
nish lodging places for disease germs,
and cause loss in the herd that would
have been escaped had the work been
put off till the time Of danger was
passed.

ABOUT COLTS.

In a meeting of horsemen in Chicago,
Alexander GaIbraith was asked a few
questions on the care Of colts. CUES
tious and answers follow:
Q.-Is there any danger of overfeed'
ing the sucking colts If they have a
balanced ration and exercises
Al do not think there is, with
most colts.
Q.-Can you by cars or attention
change the character Of your horse in
any ways
Al think that the colt has to be
well. bred in the first place, but after
that they can do much to increase his
size by good feeding. But of course it
is necessary to have the frame.
els there any means of giving a
colG fine action if he does not have it
~naturally9
A.-No, sir; it must be borne into a
colt. There is a kind of artificial &C,
ton that a be developed by a right
shooting of the horse, but even then you
do not get a good action once in a thou,
sand times.
Q-What is the best food for a colt
for the first year3
A.-Oats, bran, and faxseed meal,
with good dry hay, but not too much
of the latter.
Q-Would you put a biting harness
onto a high spirited colt and turn him
out into the yards
A.-Yes, sir; I think so. 1t might
take some of the spirit out of him. He
should be broken and handled a good
deal before that, however. You could
put one on at two or three years of
age.
Q-Ts it well to drive a young colt
very fast9
Al do not think 80, for their bones
are soft.
Q-Wlll not an die mare raise a bet
Ger colt than one That works ell the
time7
A.-No sir she should work rather
than be lille. But after foalIng and
while sucking a colt the mare should
be given very lIGtle work.
Q-At what eye should the colt be
Weaned9
AT five or six months of age.
Q.-What percentage of our mares
are fit for breeding7
Alt is very much smaller than q
few years ago, but many of them have
been sold eff. A few years ago we had
q good supply.

~PAsTEURIzATIoN OF MILK.

Pesteurizati0n is the act OF killing
germs according to the practice of M.
Pasteur, the great French scientist.
These germs, or baccilli, are really
vegetable growths-plants so small
that it takes a powerful microscope to
enable one to see them.
Some of these germs are good and
useful and some are harmful; Just as
some large plants are good for food and
others are poisonous.
Among the useful germs. or micro
scopic plants, are these that cause yeast
to rise, wine or vinegar TO fermenr,
team to ripen, and those that give
butter a good fl sVor. Among the harm
full germs are those that give milk a
bitter fl ,vor, JUS putrefaction, ETC.,
and such disease germs as cause con-
sumption, typhoid fever, diphtheria,
etc
Germe are necessary in all dairy
operations They cause milk to sour,
cream snd cheese to ripen, give butter
a good Dr. bad flavor Owing to kind,
etc.
Pasteurizing milk is killing the germs
that cause 1t to sour and decay, and

to satisfy the call of nature for the
purpose of making growth or putting
on fat.
With the pig it ia different. He is
by nature a grubber after roots and
worms, and other forms Of concen
trated feed, and if confined to clover
alone cannot eat enough TO make proper
provisions for the needs Of his body in
the way of growth.
No one ever saw a plump pig who
had nothing but pasture to eat, no mat
ter how rich the pasture. To make the
beet growth he must have besides the
pasture something in the shape OF con.
centrated feed, or he will not make
growth enough during the summer to
become a profitable hog in the fall.
A good clover pasture should always
be provided for pigs, as besides the
fesd value of the pasture and the bene
fetal effect of such a diet On his gen
eral health, it serves to distend the
stomach and give it greater capacity 4;
but with this pasture there should be
given some corn, or, better, a mixture
Of corn and oats, ground together, and
this mixed with bran, and the mixture
fed in the shape of a very thick slop.
With such feed a pig will make the
best possible growth, and be ready to
assimilate a large amounG of corn in
the fall and go into market a perfect
hog in shape, weight apd the quality
Of pork he will make, @rmers' Voice,

also those that cause disease. if any be
in the milk.
The germs of malaria and typhoid
fever are often found in the milk of
COWS that graz s in swemps or drink
stagnant water; for milk is nor than
three fourths water. The COWS r
often Gmicted with tuberculosis, or
consumption, and in such cases it is
always hazardous to drink the milk
unless the germs it contains are first
killed, though many authorities now
contend that as long as the consump
ton is confined TO the lungs the milk
is free of germs of the disease, and it is
only dangerous in those rare cases
where the disease attacks the udder.
But ia such a dreadful mslady as con-
sumption nobody wants to take any
chances.
The problem Pasteur solved was
how to kill the germs in milk that
cause disease as we'll as those that
cause it to sour, without injuring the
flavor of the milk. After many ex..
periments be found that the easiest,
surest and simplest way to do this was
by heating the milk. Many tests dem
onstrated that 100 degrees Of heat
manned for ten minutes would kill the
longest lived of all germs, that of con-
sumption, without injuring the favor
of the milk.
Some think it better to heat the milk
to only 14O degrees and then cool it
and reheat it for a longer period than
when heated to 100 degrees.
Unless the Pasteurized milk be sealed
up 10 bottles or jars to keep out the air,
it will in time absorb other germs from
the air that will cause it to sour. For
the air is full of germs Of various kinds,
and milk seems to be q favorite breed
ing ground for them. Milk readily
absorOs the germs of cholera, and they
rapidly multiply in milk, during a
cholera epidemic.
These points on Pasteurfzing milk
are CLEANED from bulletin 148 Of North
NaEO1IA6 OGdG4UuS "n4Cu 64SO ILLUSTRATES
a homemade apparatus for pasteuriz-
ing milk on a large scale. 1t consists
OF a large can or vat with a double
bottom, with some two or three inches
of space between the two bottoms. Into
this space hot steam is conducted from
q pipe connected with q steam boiler.
A thermometer is so placed that it's
bottom is immersed in the milk and
the scale is visible above the boiler,
and when the proper degree Of heat
mas been maintained for the proper
length of time, the steam is shut eff.
The milk is then drawn from the vat
into bottles by means of a faucet, thus
avoiding contact with the air. Such
milk fnds extensive sale at advanced
prices in the large cities. especially for
iufants and invalids. Many we'll to do
f.mlies also prefer such milk even at
an advence above the price of common

H POULTRY YARD.
EGGS IN SUMMER.

While everyone is trying to induce
his hens to lay in winter, but few sue
ceed, while during the summer it is no
trouble at all to induce egg production
to some extent, says Farmers Voice.
If anyone will stop to think a minute
he will discover that summe eggs are
just as profitable at 10 ent a dozen
as winter eggs at three times that
price.
1t may be laid down as a rule that
eggs from a properly kept farm flock
do not cost to exceed 5 cents a dozen
on un average, the year through. 1t
ia perfectly safe to cay that q dozen
summer eggs do not cosT half this sum.
II is a matter Of doubt whether they
cost more than 2 cents a dozen. This
is true6f at least eight months in the
year. During that time the average
hen will produce eight Uenths of all the
eggs she produces in a year.
A little figuring will show how the
matter stands. A well kept hen OF
good blood will produce t5n dozen eggs
in a year. OF these eight dozen will be
produced between March and October,
inclusive, Rt a Cost Of about 25 cents
for feed, if she is st liOerty. Two dc zen
will be produced during the remaining
monLs OF the year, a a cust OF Is cents.
This calculation Is based on liberal
feeding all the year and the estimate
Of two d z"n eggs for the four coIdes;
months is also So liberal that not more
than one fl OK in FIVE will come ur
to il.
The summer egg is the one from
which the money is maize by the far
M n. It is the man who takes excel
lieut. care of his flock who makes money
from winter eggs. This kind of care
very few farm focks ever get. Not
because of lack of information, but be
cause SO few farmers do as we'll as they
know when ii c1mes TO poultry.

SALT AND ASHES FOR ANIMALS

Ottentimes stock seem to require an
alkili as we'll as salt, and that is most
conveniently supplied with wood
ashes, which horses, sheep and swine
will greedily devour when they have
an opportunity. These should be sup
piled where stock q have access to
them at will. If q constant supply Of
salt and ashes is provided where all
kinds Of stock can have access to them,
very much less diseases would be
known emong them.
If the salt and ashes, with a little
lime added, are mixed in a wet condi-
tion to about the consistency of NOR
tar, the mixture will soon harden sufi
GENTLY to resist the washing effects of
ordinary rains.
II, however, it is desired to keep the
mixture, or salt alone, in a pulveriz9d
state, boxes Of any convenient size
say 12x10 inches and'8 inches deep may
be provided, having sloping tops to
shed the rain and extending ID 3ut one
inch over the front or face OF the box.
The tops should be hinged with leather
so as to fsll back into place when not
in actual use. A hole should be cut
midway in the upper face or front of
the box about 5 inches wide and 3 deem.
so that the animal can push it's nose in
and raise the top and lick until salts
fed. The boxes may be nailed or fast
ened to sides of barn, posts or trees

SEoCK
CATTLE TICKS AND TEXAS
FEVER.

This is the subject of bulletin No. 81
the louisiana Station. Experiments
at several stations avingdemopstrated
that splenetic fever Commonly known
as Texas fever, or acclimation fever),
is communicated from one animal to
another by ticks and in no other way.
The Louisiana Station has been max
ing some experimental studies Of the
cattle tick to find out all about the lit
tie pest. Following is a brief state
ment of the results reached:
1. The development of the cattle
tick is less rapid in winter than sum-
mer.
2. The period of incubation is il fiji
enced by cold, and egg fertility is de-
stroyed by direct sunlight.
8. Seed ticks are capable of living q
considerable length Of time without
food; this period is less in summer than
In winter.
4. Seed ticks may endure cold down
to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, below which
death takes place.
5. The parasitic period Of develop
ment Of the tick is very much longer
in winter than In summer.
6 The cattle tick remains attached
to animals from the seed tick stage to
adult condition; if removed from its
host during this parasitic period it
soon perishes.
z. The adult female tick is more
easily destroyed by rainfall and cold
than any of the other stages.
s. The conditions lessening the mum,
Der of broods per season also aid hiber
nation.
9 Clean pastures materially aid dis
infection.
10. Ticks will not exist upon alluvial
pastures unless they (the pastures) are
constantly being reinforced by the i'm
portation of highland cattle.
IL. Pastures may be disinfected by
removing all cattle from them for al
least one year, as would be the case il
q system of rotation of crops.
IL Ticks may be removed from ami
mails by the use Of mineral oil, applied
either with a sponge or rag, or by
plunging animals into a vat containing
water upon the surface of which foati
a thin layer of oil.
Is. Herds may be improved by keep
ing an imported stock bull in a small
disinfected pasture or in a stable. The
offspring of this animal will either pos
sess immunity from birth, or acquire
1t very young.
II. The injection of two cubic cent?
meters Of serum for each 100 pounds o
the animals weight, given daily fol
ten days before ticks are allowed to ge
on the COW, will not prevent the ami
NAL from taking Texas fever.
15. Tue injection of a moderatc
amount of serum for ten days, begin
ming the treatment about the time tn
animal becomes infested with ticks
does not prevent the development o
Texas fever.

AFTER A HARD Days SEARCH.
The Body of Gen. Vera de! Rio Discovered
aud Rescued Something the Gu
bans Cannot Understand.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 10.-Word
WAS received here late Tuesday night
that, after Il hard days search, the
body of Gen. Vera del Rio had been
discovered near FL Caney. in spite of
the efforts of the Cubans to prevent its
discovery.
At daylight yesterday morning a
procession cScorting The body com
menced the journey towards Santiago
and arrived at the outskirts of this
city shortly after eight o'clock, where
it was met by tour companies of the
Fifth United States infantry and a
band OF music.
Transports then escorted the body
through the main streets of Santiago,
the band playing the dead march from
Saul" to tie intense establishment of
the Cubans, who are unable to under.
stand why hOnors should be paid to a
dead foe. many of them saving that
the Americans are now favoring the
SpaniardS.
The remains were taken to an I'M
dertaking establishment. and when
the body OF Gen. Santo Cildes, who
was killed By :he insurgents at Baya-
mo at the outbreak of the insurrec-
ton. is recovered. the two bodies will
be taken on board a mail steamer
bound for Havana.
