Pigs with Group

T. M. B., Rushville, O.: have nine
teen head of Poland-China shoats lit
tie over four months old, says National
Stockman. They have been running
on good clover all summer and have
been fed little corn twice day. They
are in good shape, will weigh between
80 and 100 pounds, have plenty OF
fresh running water, and good, dry
place to sleep in rainy weather. Some
of them have been ailing. They are
suddenly seized with a terrible Wheel
ing and some cough. They have to
keep their mouths open to breathe, and
can be heard several rods. When first
taken I noticed two of them Vom1t
little in coughing. They don't seem to
be very sick, but can't eat for a day or
two on account of hard breathing.
There also seems to be a kind OF
phlegm in the throat. Four have been
sick, two got well in about week, one
is better, and the other has just taken
sick.
Answer: The symptoms that you
give indicate that your pigs are attack
ed with Group" Pigs are subject to
this as well as children. In bad cases
the pig needs treatment similar to the
child. A tub of water as hot as can be
used without scalding should be pro-
vided and the pig put into it for ten or
fifteen minutes when there is danger OF
suffocation In milder cases, yet Sc
we're, give compound syrup Of sQuills
every hour until breathing is easy; less
frequently in mild cases. Syrup OF
iDecac given will relieve If taken in
time. The dose of either of the syrups
is a teaspooRful to pigs one to four
months old

Washington, Dec. 5.-The state, wan

serted as a result of the West Point
Annapolis football game in Philadel-

both on the army and navy side, took
a holiday in order to see the game. In
the department there was considerable
betting in a quiet way; the odds being
in favor of the navy, in many cases as
much as to 1 being given on the An
napolis team. West Point defeated

Aluminium to Displace Copper Wires.

New York, Dec. 4--The rapid rise in
the price of copper at first was viewed
with dismay by the telegraph, telephone
and electrical companies in general.
As the price scared upward and finally
began to go skyward the electricians
were in despair. 1t meant double cost
for wires and other parts of electrical
conducting machinery. Experiments
were instituted with aluminium and it
has been demonstrated to be perfect
conductor for an electric circuit; be-
wire and is lighter and cheaper to

Dairy Notes,


At the Kansas Experiment Station
they have been testing the milk sent
in by dairymen, and complain that in
many instances the milk arrives at the
college in a half-churned condition and
unfit for test. The advice Is given to
fill all bottles brim full of milk. Then
make a small hole in the cork through
which milk can run. When The cork
is thus pushed in tight the surplus milk
will flow out through the hole, which
can then be stopped up by little plug
Of wood. This will prevent the churn-
ing motion and the consequent forma-
ton of little grains Of butter on the
sides Of the bottles.
Another fraud in milk selling has
been discovered in England and we
may expect that in due time it will get
to this country. The authorities find
that in some of the English coast
towns what is called milk extract is
being sold to dairymen. This Is
chemical possibly, but the reports are
not definite enough to indicate the
composition Of the so-called milk ex-
tract. It is used by dairymen to in
crease say 400 gallons of milk to 500
gallons, hot water being added. Or
dinarily the adding of hot water or
any other kind of water can be easily
detected, but by the use Of this powder
the milk and water incorporate SO
thoroughly that the addition is hard
to detect.
A "Babcock Shilling Fund" has been
started by the dairymen of New South
Wales, and the money collected will be
forwarded to Professor Babcock OF the
Wisconsin Experiment Station as a
| thank-offering. AS many Of our read
ers know, Professor Babcock gave his
invention to the world, so that no man
ufacturer will ever be able to have a
monopoly of the making and selling OF
the machines. For that reason many
firms make Babcock milk testers and
the competition thus brought about
keeps the price down to the lowest
point that will admit Of profit. Since
all that buy machines get them at q
| greatly reduced cost on account Of the
generosity Of Professor Babcock in moi
| patenting his invention, the thank-of-
ferings that are occasionally sent him
meet the approval Of every man inter
ested in dairying.
The dairy propaganda seems to be
reaching out into all lands. Even
Tunis on the north coast Of Africa, Is
being considered as a field for dairy
operations. A large amount of dairy
products is being brought into thai
country, in which reside 10000 Euro
peans. Besides that population thai
is given to the consumption of dairy
products there are numerous hotels
that entertain tourists by the thou
sands. Perhaps the dairy may prove
as bene1cent a factor in that be-
nighted land as it has proved in the
more enlighted countries Of the world
It was not generation ago that Den.
mark took up the question Of dairyinl
In earnest and now she has become thu
leading dairy country of the world, 81
far as butter exports are concerned. We
may in the future have to meet n the
London market not only butter from
Denmark, France and Australia, bu
also butter produced along the shore:
of the Mediterranean sea.

Treating Black-leg In Oklahoma.
A bulletin from the Oklahoma sta
ton says: Black-leg is one of the most
important diseases among cattle in
Oklahoma and is commonly known as
black-leg or black-quarter. The dis
ease may assume a number Of forms
but usually is noticed as local swell
ing in either the front or hind limb.
This swelling contains gas which
causes a cracking sound when
the hand is passed over the
swelling. The swelling is at first
hot and painful, but after the gas
begins to form it is not sensitive and
the skin becomes dry and parchment
like. The disease is one common to
young cattle and is rapidly fatal, death
generally occurring in from twelve to
thirty-six hours after the first symp-
toms are noticed.
There is no successful medical treat
ment for the disease. Vaccination is
now recognized as the most successful
way to prevent the disease. The neces-
sary apparatus, which consists Of a
hyperdermic syringe, a small porcelain
mortar, glass rod and filter funnel, can
be purchased from any instrument
dealer for three or four dollars. With
this apparatus any careful individual
can do the work successfully. The ex-
pertinent station at Saltwater is pre-
pared to furnish a small amount OF
vaccine, with full instructions for US
| ing, to parties who need it for their
| own use and who will supply them
selves with the necessary instruments
for doing the work.
It was hardly to be supposed that
the poultry business would come into
the sphere of great commercial move
ments and concentrations. But some
| thing of this nature seems to have
taken place in Europe. Within a few
years there has been a marked tend
| ency to eliminate the small poultry
| enterprises and supplant them with
large ones. Some capitalists have been
buying poultry in Italy, taking it to
Belgium and parceling 1t out in lots
of from 800 to 500 laying hens each.
The birds are kept for two years after
purchase, and thus two seasons egg
product is secured, after which the
| birds are fattened and sold for table
i poultry. The importation begins In
| May and continues till August, and
sometimes as late as September. They
| have found by experience that birds
| imported from October till April do
not stand the change well, as the
transference from sunny Italy to cold
! and moist Belgium is too great for
| them except under the most favorable
circumstances. When they are i'm
| ported in the summer time they be-
come acclimated before winter sets In.
| The variety Of birds mostly purchased
| In Italy is Brown Leghorns. The
| change seems to improve their egg pro-
| ducing capacity, and eggs produced In
Belgium weigh more on the averages
than eggs of the same hens produced
in Italy
