OUR HOG INDICATED.
United states Consul ut Cologne, Ger
many, Files n Report Deal
Ing with Trichinne.

Consul Barnes, at Cologne, whose re-
cent report on the preparation OF
American fruits for the German mar
ket attracted much attention, has fol-
lowed II with a report upon trichinae.
which is q splendid vindication of the
American hog from the vilifcation OF
his German accusers. The report says;
Through the medium of society
Of German foreign meat inspectors,
whose object Is the protection and pro-
motion Of the German trade in meats
and fat products / learn that for the
last IS years, beginning with the de-
cree Of 1888 prohibiting the importa-
tion Of American meat and ending with
the close OF last year, there were Off
cially confirmed in the kingdom Of
Prussia 1908 reported cases of illness
from trichinae, 2O7 of which resulted
in death, OF these there could be
traced to the eating of European meat
examined in Germany and found to be
free from trichinae 1,242 cases of i'll
ness and 1902 deaths.
Thus 41.35 per cent. of all the cases
of illness and 40.7 per cent. of all the
deaths were caused by the consump-
tion of European pork which was eX-
amined in Germany and found to be
free from trichinae. The remaining
cases could also be traced to importa-
tions of European meat, partly eX-
amined and partly not examined, and
found to contain trichinae and yet
handled by the trade.
"In not one Of the above 3,003 cases
could it be proved that the illness was
caused by the use of American sailed,
picked or timed meat, nor by smoked
sausage Imported under imperial de-
cree of September 3, 1S0I This state
ment holds good for all Germany. In
confirmation of this fact, the society
hereinbefore mentioned has issued
posters wherein a reward of 1000
marks (S23S) is offered to the person
who can prove that trichinae has been
transferred to human beings by the
consumption of American sailed or
picked pork or smoked sausage i'm
ported under the imperial decree OF
September 3, 1891, canceling the edict
forbidding the importation.
when, in 1891, the edict against
sausage and pork products from Amer
lea was cancelled, no inspection of sau-
sage or picked pork was required I'M
til July 1, 1898. Since then both prod
ucts are subject to inspection. This
will result in the absolute exclusion of
sausage and picked pork or homeless
hams from the German market.
"In the case of homeless hams weigh
ing from two to three pounds each the
cost of inspecting amounts to Is pfen-
nigs per kilogram, or Is marks ($3.57)
per 100 Kilograms of 22O English
pounds. Add to this the duty of 20
marks and we have total cost of 35
marks, or 1888, on 22O pounds of meat,
which virtually means the prohibition
of such products"

can be left to the care of its local po-
lice, baSked by the power of such gar
risons as the national government
shall maintain there. In Cuba and, the
Philippines different conditions pre-
vail. In both these territories there is
a considerable element of population
naturally lawless, and beyond this,
there will be for years the tendency to
brigandage that follows the close Of
war In Cuba there are the thousands
who were insurgents, accustomed for
many years now to reckless, irregu-
lar life and the excitement of fighting.
In the Philippines, in the population,
100000 in number, made up various
native races, the Malays, who are in
the majority, are additionally given
to murderous impulse and piracy.
In the policing of the Philippines the
system of the British in India will
probably be followed-the employ
ment Of native soldiers and police,
under the command of white officers,
with certain proportion OF native
poncommissioned and subaltern Of
ficers. From the character of the ma
tive people this presents new and diff
1icult problem of military organza-
ton and discinpline, and it is likely
that years will pass and many changes
be made before the best system is ar
rived at. In Cuba with its Spanish
American population the situation
would probably best be met by the or

divide the pens, and in the upright part

BUYING PURE BREEDS.
A Dollar or Two So Invested VIII Pay
TenfOld Returns In n Very
Short Time.

The farmer who buys trio or more
of fowls in the fall will make no mis-
take, and if he prefers to get the eggs
in the spring all will be well, but he
must expect to be ridiculed by some
of his neighbors for paying one or two
dollars for a male or hen. Neverthe-
less these same farmers and neigh
bors will promptly come forward and
request to change eggs" with him
when they desire to hatch chicks in
the spring. If a farmer buys eggs of
the pure breed he buys Stock" the
eggs being simply the embryo chicks.
The farmer who desires to improve
also goes too far sometimes. Instead
of depending on one breed, he begins
with two or more. His interest will be
sufficiently strong for year or more
to keep his birds separate, but in the
course of time he will undertake to
save labor by turning all the breeds
out together. Then the down grade
begins, and in season or two his
fowls will be all cross-breeds and mon
grels, with no uniformity or fixed

Live Stock and Fertility.

Long and painstaking efforts IN any
one direction make men experts. Not
until farmers rightly appreciate the
value and necessity of the live stock
business in relation to the preserva-
ton of fertility will they become ex-
pert in this line or capable of getting
out of it all there is in it. 1t has well
been said that the policy which the
farmers of Illinois must adopt if they
ever expect to attain their former
prosperity is to provide a home mar
ket for their own product. By home
market we mean a market on the
farm, without any cost of transpor-
tation except that which the farmer
pays to himself for the use of his own
teams and wagons. Nothing except
live stock can provide this kind of a
market.-A. P. Grout, in Farmers Re-
view.

long ago the chief of police of GER

rales was formed, which ever since has
rendered loyal service to the Mexican
government and faithfully fulfilled it's
duty of guarding the roads of the
country.
The Mexican people of all classes are
very proud of their rurales, and it is
interesting to see the enthusiasm
shown when a detachment of these
soldiers pass along a street Of city.
The best opportunity to observe this
feeling occurs in the City of Mexico,
when, on the 10th of September, the
Mexican Independence day, all the ma
tional troops that conveniently can be
gathered for the purpose parade the
streets of the capital, passing in re-
view before the president. The Next
cans love military display, and the peo-
pie cheer and shout as the different
cavalry and infantry battalions march
Francisco toward the great plaza. But
it is when the rurales come on that
their great enthusiasm breaks forth.
At such parades the rurales use brides
and saddles mounted with silver, and
the stirrups of some are of solid silver.
Their horses wear housings of fooled
and embroidered leather. AS these
magnificent cavalrymen, in their gold
and silver trimmed leather ranch
mans garb, ride along in pIatoons,
every man looking as proud and free
as the spirited horse beneath him, the
people that crowd the streets and
housetops go fairly wild. They cheer
and throw their hats into the air,
shouting: "Viva! These are MeXi-
cans! They are our own soldiers, the
soldiers of the people!"
Without the rurales it would be next
to impossible to operate railways in
Mexico. When the Mexican Central
railway was built the poorer MeXicans
would steal iron from the rails. To
prevent this source of danger to trains
national law was enacted that any
man detected in the act of disturbing
the rails or track of railway should
be shot without trial. 1t was the

One Of the most disagreeabe things
in large restaurants in city Is the
manner in which the walters call

waiter that he is DESTROYS Of par

is quite embarrassing to hear the
mental yell out at the top of his lungs

There was more truth than poetry in
the old rhyme which depicted the tim

who, having ordered penny fshball,
gently demonstrated with the waiter
because no bread had been received
with it; and we appreciate the con-
sternation OF the cheap patron when

In order to make hens produce eggs
when most desired, they must not only
have extra care, but be provided with
proper quarters, At the same time,
however, it is hardly advisable for all
poulterers to erect elaborate struc-
lures for this purpose, and especially
when we take into consideration the
desperate competition Of the present
day and oftentime low prices of eggs,
Accordingly, we advance the idea that
ordinary persons who make practice
of keeping from 50 to 100 fowls should
indulge in poultry house something

What the word "Gros" Came From.
The word "grog" has a curious his
tory. 1t comes in roundabout way
from the French gros-grain, of which
our English "grosgram" is a corrup-
ton, meaning stuff of coarse and
heavy texture. Bluff old Admiral Yer
non, who commanded the English navy
just before our war of independence,
wore breaches made of this material,
and was nlcknamed from that circum-
stance "0ld Grog." He used to have
his men mix water with the rum that
was always served to English sailors
as part of their rations, and hence
any dram mixed with water came to
be called "grog," and the place where
such things are sold 'groggery."-
