SOFT COAL FOR HOGS.
an Almost Positive Preventive
of Swine Disease,

Ny hogs are fed soft coal almost
daily through the summer, and about
all they will eat, which would be sur
prising to some farmers who never
feed it in the amount hog will eat.
Growing pigs and shoats like ra-
ton of coal as regularly as they do
of corn, Judging from the avidity in
which they take to it. In winter do
not think it necessary to feed it so lib
orally, yet would fear no harm in sup
plying them with all they will eat at
all times of the year. Ny herds will
average upward of 1875 head of all ages
for the year, and calculate that no
less number of bushels of coal slack
will justify their needs. With daily
supply of coal, fresh water, balanced
ration and good sanitary surroundings,
there is little danger of cholera or any
other disease affecting them seriously.
A mere handful of coal thrown two
or three times year to your hogs can
not be considered guard against dis
ease, any more than one or two unor-
binary meals would induce health to
Iue human system On restricted KIM
of food for the same length of time.
There is no substance in its natural
state that hog likes which would be
harmful if free access is given at all
times or at frequent intervals. In the
mineral impregnation of coal the hog
gets a certain element that is known
better to his own instinct and compo-
sition for the beneficial results through
mastication. I may be fooled and meet
a surprise some day in the shape OF
hog cholera in my herd by placing such
faith in coal, but for the present will
make it the ''battle guard" against
swine disease in all it's forms until
convinced of its inefficacy.-J. E.
Haynes, in Swine Breeders Journal.

The Herald has received several let
tiers recently, commencing our recent
attitude on the waste Of public water.
The subject has undoubtedly
attracted much attention and 1t Is de-
serving Of 1t. If we can postpone the
expenditure of many thousands of dol
lars for several years by watching tor
and stopping leaks, we certainly should
do it. 1t is the cheapest way we know
Of in order to increase the supply. We
would have positive rules made IN this
respect with penalty that would COM
mand attention. When a persistent
and determined waster Of public water
is found, let his supply be shut OFF, The
city can afford to do without the rents
from such person better than he can
do without water. and shutting him orr
will not alone have Statutory erect
on him. but on others as well. we are
pleased to learn that the water COM
missioners are seriously considering
this matter, and we hope to hear OF de-
cided action on their part very soon

A BATTLEFIELD BIBLE.
The Verse at Which the Bullet
Stopped.

The Verse at Which the Bullet
Stopped.
James A. Collins, young lawyer
and deputy prosecutor in one OF the
city courts. has an interesting relic OF
the civil was that could tell a story OF
human interest If 1t could speak except
through inspiration. 1t Is an old Bible
of the polyglot type and was picked up
by the father Of Mr.. Collins just after
the Union army took possession OF the
field, of Gettysburg. The elder Collins
served in Company x, Eleventh Massa-
chusetts infantry, and was IN the pattie
on the field of which, after the retreat
of the Confederates, he picked up the
little volume.
Whether the Bible was the property
of q rebel or Union soldier will never
probably be known, but one clrcum-
stance leads Mr.. Collins to believe that
1t was Union saldier who carried 1t
and whose life it doublesss saved, for
bullet had torn through portion OF the
leaves and had spent it's force just as II
reached a text which might be con-
strued to indicate that the owner had
been divinely sent to do battle for his
country. The Jagged edges OF the
leaves through which the bullet tore on
its way. it is supposed, to the heart OF
the man who carried 1t, show that its
course was straight and the man who
fred the shot must have been on level
with the object of his aim. The Biple,
however, stopped the bullet in It's on
ward course, and the point only OF the
rifle ball indented the text which makes
I'D the coincidence, for 1t stopped at the
third verse of the second chapter OF
Ezekiel which reads as follows:
"And he said unto me, Son of Man, l
send thee to the children of Israel, to
a rebellious nation that hath rebelled
against me; they and their fathers have
| tTansgressed against me, even to this
very day
| The pages have been yellowed by age
and the parts of the book are held to-
| gether by hempen string, but Mr.. Col
| Inns prizes the Bible highly and believes
that he may some day find the man or
| the relatives of the man who carried II
on the Gettysburg field.
| On the flyleaf Of the book are the re-
| cords of the births In the family OF u.
\ Fl. Dedloss, but the name of the place
where he lived is not given. Among the
births recorded are those of Elizabeth,
Samuel and Nancy Dedloss, the son
| Samuel having been born in 1851 and
the two other children prior to that
time. Mr.. Collins has never made an
effort to find the owner, for the book
came into his possession but recently,
and so long a time has now elapsed
since it was picked up by his father
that he questions If 1t would be possible
to locate any one who would have more
interest in it than it excites in him as
war relic.-Indianapolis Letter to the
Chicago Record Herald.
