Pasture For Hogs.

Every hog raiser should prepare a
pasture for his hogs. and a good one,
not just ore or two acres for fifty or
more hogs to run on all season. Get
a good, large pasture and plenty OF
range. as it is a great profit with little
cost, and 1t will not pay to keep hogs
in dry lots the year round. They will
not make you much money after you
count up the cost of feed.--Exchange.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Upon the con.
} clusion of routine business the sellate
went into executive session to cnNside!
the treaty providing for the acquisition
Of the Danish West Indies.
The senate ratified the Danish treaty
without amending it in any particular.
There was a large Attendance upon
the floor of the house and in the gal
leries in anticipation of the opening OF
the debate on the bill to repeal the
assembling of the house the committee
on rules met and agreed upon the form
of a special rule for the consideration
of the bill by the terms of which it
would he voted on within a day.
The chaplain in his invocation pray
ed that the life of Representative Shep-
pard of Texas. who is dangerously i'll.
might he spared.
After some minor business had been
cleared away Mr.. Dalzell tPa.,. from
the committee on rules. presented the
special order agreed upon by that com
mittee.
Mr.. Dalzell explained the effect of
the rule. This measure. he said. was
presented to redeem Il pledge made
when the war ven taxes were i'm,
posed that when the necessity for
them ceased they would he repealed:
1t was a measure on which. he took
it. there was practically unanimity OF
sentiment on both sides of the hOuse.
1t was a simple repeal measure. and it
vas deemed wise that it should be
brought to vote without complication
on the %eXtraneous issues. At the ON
clusion of this brief statement Mr..
Dalzell yielded thirty minutes to Mr..
Underwood LAla.J, also of the commit
tee on rules.
Mr.. Underwood Protests.
The Alabama member protested
against the adoption of the rule. not.
he said, because it provided for thr
consideration of a bill to reduce taxa
ton. but because it prevented indi-
vidual members from exercising their
own judgment or carrying out the
wishes OF their constituents MS to what
portion of the excessive taxes should
be repealed.
AS an instance of a tax which it was
not advisable to repeal he cited the
inheritance tax. a tax which, he said,
| was levied on a class that was not
touched by other taxation.
Mr.. Underwood said he did not think
Il general tariff revision should be made
because such Il revision. whether good
OF bad. would unSettle present condi-
tons ard might lead to disorder. He
referred to the %stagnatiOn in business
| which existed pending the enactment
of both the Wilson and Dingley bills in
support of that statement. He thought
that the proper method of reducing du-
ties at this time shc.ld be through rec
lprocity agreements made in pursuance
| of congressional enactment and sent
TO the clerks desk and had read an
amendment representing his ideas in
this particular.
Mr.. Ball cTex.) denounced the rule as

STAMPING OUT DISEASE.
Pennsylvania Farmers Endeavorihg to Eradi
cate Contagion From Cattle.

"The need of eradicating contagi.
GUS diseases among cattle is so evil
dent, and is so we'll understood among
the cattle owners and farmers of
Pennsylvania, that there are very few
attempts to conceal them," said DIR.
Leonard Pearson, state veterinarian
and secretary of the state live stock
sanitary board, on his return from a
tour of inspection OF the larger dairy
herds in western Pennsylvania.
"Since there is no provision of
law" added Dr. Pearson, "for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of a
large force of inspectors of herds, and
since herds are SO numerous and scat
tered that it is quite out of reason to
expect the state veterinarian to see
all of them, it is necessary to depend
largely for reports OF outbreaks oi
contagious diseases upon cattle own
ers themselves.
Such reports are coming in every
day; some days as many as ten ol
twelve requests for help and inspec
ton are received. When these can
not be attended to personally a com
petent local veterinarian is employed
to attend to the matter and report
upon it. AS a result of this work the
prevalence of tuberculosis has beer
much reduced, glanders has beer
eradicated, anterax has been kept II
check, and such diseases as rabies
hog cholera, black quarter and numer
Gus parasitic diseases have beer
greatly restricted.
All of this work has been great.
facilitated and made more accurate
by the aid of the bacteriologist of th'
board, DR.. M. P. Ravenel. Some
diseases cannot be safely diagnosed
without aid of such methods as cal
only be applied in the laboratory
The use of such accurate methods /
great advantage over former usage
and is point wherein Pennsylvania
is considerably in advance of mos
other states"

The Sense of Feeling.

Some of our most important organs
for instance, the heart, the brain and
the lungs-are, strange to say, quite
insensible to touch, thus showirs that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation, but also the special end or
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest astonishment by
Harvey, who, while treating patient
for an abscess that caused large
cavity in his side, found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being in the least aware of
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
|. to the mans bedside that "he might
himself behold and touch so extraor-
dinary thing"
In certain operations a piece of skin
Is removed from the forehead to the
nose and it is stated that the patient
oddly enough, feels as If the new
nasal part were still in his forehead
and may have headache in his nose

Health in Camp Life.

.At this season." said Murray
Garde, the veteran camper of the
Wssahockon, IN the Philadelphia
Record, "the minds of many persons
turn to wild life in tent, and they
decide to go camping. Often, though,
they make mistakes in the things
they take with them for food and
comfort. The foods they should
take are coffee, bacon, dried peas,
dried beans, hominy, cornmeal and
tobacco. They might also take
canned goods for wet weather-toma-
to soup, deviled chicken, potted
ham and the like. For bed coverings
they need a rubber blanket apiece,
two wooden blankets and a hard
sponge pillow. Their clothes should
be old and abundant. They should
take with them all the aged shoes
and shirts aud suits they have, for a
camper is constantly getting wet, con-
stantly tearing holes in his raiment,
so that he needs innumerable changes.
In selecting a site for tent it should
be born in mind that high piece of
ground, or a knoll, is needed; other
wise the first rain floods the campers
out. And always the camp should
BE- within reasonable distance of a
spring. so that good drinking water
may be gotten without trouble. 1t is
best to do your own cooking in true
camp style. One man each day
should be appointed cook, one dish
washer, one table setter, one camp
cleaner, and so on. Usually, though,
after the first week or two, a camp
becomes careless and untidy. Dishes
are not washed until just before they
are to be used again, beds are not
made until bedtime, and the sward
around the tent resembles, with its
overcoat OF newspapers, cigarette
boxes, empty cans and crumbs oi
food, the dumps down in the Neck.
It is sign, when camp gets like
that, that it will soon break up. Yet,
untidy or not, it is a healthy place al
ways. The man who lives in tent
never gets rheumatism, or a cold, oil
any ailment. He eats like horse,
he sleeps 10 hours, and he gets VI
early in the morning, not because he
is energetic, but because his hunger
won't let him lie abed any longer"

NECESSITY OF sLUMBsR.
Death by siccpicssncss n Chinese
puuishmcnt.

Punishment.
"a person absolutely without sleep
for nine days will die" says writer
in Ainslee's. Sufferers from insomnia
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, but it
has been proved that they do sleep
without being aware of It. At GER
tain point sleep is Inevitable, no mat
ter what the bodily condition, the al
tentative being death. Prisoners have
slept on the rack of the inquisition
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry out sentence of death by sleep
lessness. This mode of capital punish
ment was long in favor in China and is
said to be so today, while as form of
torture deprivation of sleep Is consid-
cred one of the most eilicacious wcap-
ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal.
In some such cases the prisoner is
kept in cage too small to stand up or
lie down in and constantly prodded
with sharp rod. Death by starvation,
also n Chinese punitive method, Is
slower process and therefore, one
would think, more calculated to appeal
to the oriental mind If it were not
that death by sleeplessness Is thought
SO much more painful. III the lat
ter case the brain Is the first affect
! ed of all the organs of the body, while
| I'm case of starvation the brain longest
retains its normal weight and charac-
! ter.
"a corresponding mode of tanning
wild elephants Is said to be depriving
| the animals of sleep when first caught
In few days they become compara-
lively spiritless and harmless. The
brain of the elephant is held to be
more highly developed than that of
any other wild animal, but Of course
as compared with a human brain can
be easily fatigued by new impressions
and so made very dependent on sleep.
The wild elephant in his native jungle,
however, is said to sleep very little-a
further point for the theory of the uni.
versal ratio of sleep to intelligence
A man taken out of his habitat and
placed in conditions which he never
could have imaginsd-if transported
to Mars, -wouldTdoubtless need an
extraordinary amount of sleep at first
There is the almost parallel case of a
German boy, Casper Hauser, who VI
to the age of eighteen was kept in one
room where he had no intercourse with
human beings or sight of any natural
object, not even the sky. At eighteen
he was brought to Nuremberg and
abandoned in the street. For the first
few months of his life among men he
slept almost constantly and so soundly
that it was very hard to wake him."
