CALIFORNIA WINES.
California Fruit Grower: AS the re-
suit Of a conference on the part of the
Paris Commissioners with DR.. J. H.
Wiley of Washington, it has been de-
cided that 10000 bottles of wine viii
be required from California exhibitors
at Paris next year. OF these, 14,OO0
bottles will be kept on hand for ad-
vertising purposes.
A press report says that Dr.. Wiley,
who represents the National Viticul-
tural Commission, says the allotment
of space to the United States will
contain one dozen cases of wine, each
holding thousand bottles. 1t has
been decided to allow California S,OOo
of the $4,000 bottles. AS one bottle
for each bottle in the case must DC
sent to the wine juries, another SUN
bottles will be required for that pur-
pose. With the $4,000 kept on hand
for advertising purposes a total OF
i
number of bottles needed will be sur
prise to California growers, as the first
reports indicated that this State would
fare poorly. 1t was expected that only
200 or 300 bottles in all would be sent
In the Paris Exposition of 1889 two
cases of California wine were exh1b-
tied, and each awarded medal. The
California wine will not be exhibited
as a State display, but will be in
Guided in the national exhibit, and will
be prepared as for the regular trade,
each bottle to bear the name of the
grower. Photographs of the wineries
the vine-bearing acreage and descrip-
lions of the process will be arranged
in portfolios, which will be prominent
ly displayed
Dr. Wiley is anxious that there
should be a good exhibit of California
champagnes as we'll as still wines.
The Commissioners have decided not
to elect a Superintendent of exhibits
They will perform that work them
selves.
TEETH OF PIGS.
Farmers Advocate: Should the SOW
carry her pigs beyond the usual per-
pens that the piglings' teeth will haVe
made an abnormal growth, and In
some instances the teeth will have
become discolored to an extent which
has led to the common saying pigs
born with black teeth never do we'll.
These little teeth are often very long
and sharp, so that, when the little
pigs attempt to suck, the teeth ex-
tend beyond the tongue of the pig
and prick the inf1amed and tender ud-
der of the SOW, giving her great PAIN,
which frequently causes her to refuse
to suckle the pigs and sometimes she
will attack the little ones with open
mouth, when one grab from her pow
erful jaws seriously Injuries if it does
not at once kill the youngster. I'm
less immediate steps are taken to re-
move the cause of this trouble, the
pigs soon die from want of food, and
the sows' udder becomes distended with
milk, and inflammation of it follows
The remedy is simple, and easily ap-
piled by the attendant of the SOW. He
takes up each pig, tucks it under his
arm, opens it's mouth with his lett
hand. and with his right hand and
pair of pincers he breaks off the erring
teeth, and places the pig to the SOW;
then by little of both coaxing and
scratching the SOW will turn onto her
side; the little pigs being unable to
bite the udder and each sother, will
quickly relieve the distended udder OF
the SOW, and prove a source of pleas
ure to her, instead of an irritant and
cause of pain. Sometimes the SOW
will become impatient on hearing the
shrieks of her little pigs whilst the
operation of dentistry is progressing;
if this does affect her it is best to
take the little pigs into an adjoining
place, out of hearing Of the sow.
