CURING .CANKER SORES.
Disease Which Needs PROMPT Az.
tentiOn as Soon as 1t Appears
Among the Young Pigs.

This disease invariably appears in
young pigs from the time of birth to a
few weeks old. If not attended to
promptly it either stunts their growth
permanently or they waste away and
die. The symptoms are as follows:
Sore mouth, swelling of the jaws, with
white, sometimes light brown, scabs,
which later show deep cracks. The
scabs and cracks are found on the
snout, extending over the head and
even to the body and limbs. In some
cases an ulcer will form at the end of
the snout and eat away part of tho
nose. In other cases the ears may be
affected and drop off. There is dull
ness, loss OF power in the hind limbs, a
tendency to walk on the fetlocks, dis
inclination to move. The pigs usually
stand with their backs bumped up.
They either refuse to suckle entirely
or else DO so in a half-hearted man.
ner. IT made to walk and move they
will squeal as if in pain, writes H. c.
Duke, in New England Homestead. The
young pig must first be attended to by
dipping the entire head in one of the
following solutions: Permanganate
OF. potash, one ounce; dissolve in one
half gallon of water; or creoline or
chloro-naphthol, one ounce to one-half
gallon of water. These solutions
should be applied three times at inter-
walls of two or three days. Before
using the solutions remove as far as
possible all dirt from the snout of the
pig, or larger amount of the solu-
ton will have to be used to get good
results. The sow's udder should also
be washed with one of these solutions
two or three times. Distinction of
the narrowing pens with hot lime wa
ter should also be performed, as it has
been noticed that filters narrowed in
the same pen at different times have
been affected with this disease An
other breeder has used zenoleu1n with
success as wash and disinfectant.

Ed. West, and my own boyhood hero,
Dan Wright, received. from $40O to
$500 a month, and lived the lives of
nabobs. Many of them We'd with the
owners and masters of the boats, and
some OF them were graduated from
the wheelhouse into the captains
cabin. In the main, however, q pilot
lived exclusively in the atmosphere of
his craft; he thought plotting, talked
plotting, breathed plotting and knew
no other element of existence.
Of the terrible disasters which at
tended river navigation on the Mis-
sissippi history has made abundant
record. Certainly one of the most dra-
matte incidents which took place on
the river was the picturesque rout
OF the Indians by Capt. Throckmorton,
in the Black Hawk war.
After the engagement of Battle-Ax,
when the warriors were swarming on
the river between the shore and Battle
Island. little below La Crosse, this
captain drove his steamboat into their
fleet of canoes, the huge paddles of his
wheel crushing their frail craft and
creating greater havoc among them
than the guns of the enemy.
The fierce engagements of the civil
war which took place on the river and
along its shores may be left to his
tory, with the observation that the
outcome of that long and bitter strug-
gle might have been far different had
it not been for this great waterway
and the facilities which it afforded to
the army and navy of the north.
The first steamboat to thread the
Mississippi to- its upper waters was
the famous old Virginia, which accom-
plished this significant feat in 1923. or

scantling back from the pulley wheel,
then passes through the movable
pulley over the pulley wheel and
drops to the ground, where it is
ready to lift with. The back end of
the scantling is fastened to the arm
below by means of a rope tied just
the right length, which can be shift
ed from one arm to another as need
ed. The hook on the movable pulley
is hooked on the gambrel when the
hog is raised to the arm, and the
pulley is then turned to the next
arm, and so on as needed. A hog
weighing $50 pounds can easily be
raised by this method.-Meritte S.

SAILORS SAW KING OSCAR.
The Experience of Senator Perkins
with Royalty When He Was
Youth.

In these Prince Henry days every
age is talking about it. Even those
whose friends have been introduced
to kings or princes are doing some
talking on their own account. That
is how the story of the way in which
Senator Perkins met King Oscar of
Norway and Sweden comes out at
this time.
Senator Perkins has been almost
everything in his day, says the New
York Tribune. In his own words, he
is a sailor by profession, merchant
by necessity, and a politician by ac-
cident. It was while he was sailor
that his Swedish experience came to
him. His ship had just brought a
cargo of cotton to Stockholm, and
young Perkins in company with an
English sailor named Branscombe
decided to visit the royal palace.
They crawled into the grounds from a
drain pipe and were promptly arrest
ed by the gendarmes. The boys knew
no Swedish, their captors no English,
and it was beginning to look dark for
them when a party of distinguished
people came along and took an inter-
est in their plight.
what are you doing in the kings
park?" asked one of them.
eve wanted to see the king and
how he lived" answered young Per-
l1ins, frankly.
"But don't you know" said the
man, ''you might be put into prison
for trespass?"
eve don't want to hurt the king"
said the affrighted youth. "Only want
to see him"
II am King Oscar!" said the man,
and the boys looked their fill. Then
the king ordered soldier to show
them through the palace.
In course of time Senator Perkins
became rich man. Thirty years
later he was governor of California.
On boarding yacht for cruise one
day he came across Harry Brans-
combe, the English sailor who had
shared his Swedish experience. The
man was still common sailor, but
Senator Perkins found better berth
for him on one of his own ships.

FEEDING SCRUB CATTLE.
1t IL Largely a Speculation, and One
That Rarely Pays n Satisfac-
tory Profit.

In an able article written by Mr.. T.
F. B. Sotham, and published in the an
nual report of the Kansas state board
of agriculture, he says: "Highly salts
factory results have been recorded
from feeding the grades of all the beef
breeds. What a significant lesson is
taught by the preeminent fact that not
one single instance of a profit with
scrubs is recorded. Men who feed
scrubs do not care to advertise their
methods; a profit from them savors
too much of sharp practices. Men who
claim to have made money feeding
scrubs are few, and they are sly in
their operation. They buy anything
cheap; bulls, which they castrate and
dehorn; cock-horned, stunted three
year-olds are dehorned, in the expec-
tation of palming them off as year
lings-anything to improve appear
ances. Yet the operations of these
feeders, if carefully investigated, will
show that they never get above mar
ket price for their corn, and men who
have borrowed money to buy this sort
of cattle and fed purchased corn in
variably lost money. while for every
| dollar profit made on scrub feeding
the same would have yielded far great
er results if fed to good stock. If in
isolated cases any real profit has been
made from feeding scrub cattle, it has
been invariably by owners of large
tracts of rich corn ands feeding their
portion of corn, which is mainly raised
by renters. In a majority of years it
is safe to say they do not receive
through their cattle the market price
for this corn, and in proft-yielding
years they have such large numbers
that small average profit realizes a
large sum. In this these big feeders
of cheap cattle are like the packers.

day, are satisfied with so small a profit

largely a speculation. Where feeder

runs dangerous financial risk Scrub
| cattle should be allowed to fill the
tins, off of grass, and that grass must
be cheap grass, in a country where it
is so plentiful and valueless that cattle
can be kept the year round for a pit
lance. In such section they may be
kept with only the loss of the profits
of "what might have been" had better
stock been kept in their place.

When the sheep Have Worms.

Pour turpentine upon salt in the pro-
portion of one pint to gallon. Keep
this before the sheep for week, says
DR.. H. P. Miller, in Ohio Farmer. The
next week substitute gentian for the
turpentine, and the following week a
pound of dried sulphate of iron mixed
with gallon of bran, and a quart of
this mixture given daily to hundred
head for a week. The turpentine
should then be repeated. Tartar emet-
ic and santonine are each effective
vermifuges, and should be given in
daily doses of Is grains for a week
when one of them is employed. Re-
member that one treatment is not
proof against an after invasion. But
if the flock is once entirely freed from
them and placed upon fresh pasture
where no sheep have been the present
season there will be no further
trouble.

TENNYSON'S DEAR GIRL.
The Amusing Mistake Which Re-
suited from the Famous Poets
Imperfect Vision.

His defective eyesight was ever an
acute annoyance to him, and added
greatly to his innate shyness of
meeting strangers and going into
society, writes w. Gordon McCabe, in
Century. He constantly referred to
it, and once said to me: "It led to
rather an amusing incident a few
years ago. Hallam and went with
Mr.. Gladstone as Sir Donald Currie's
guests on a cruise in the Pembroke
Castle among the Hebrides and
thence to Denmark. While lying in
the harbor of Copenhagen we were
invited to dine at Fredensburg with
the king and queen of Denmark, and
the next day the whole royal party
came on board to luncheon. There
were the king and queen, "the prin-
cess" the car and czarina, and their
attendants and ladies and gentlemen.
After luncheon the princess asked
me to read one of my poems, and
some one fetched the book. I sat on
a sofa in the smoking-room next the
princess and another lady came and
car stood up just in front of me.
When finished reading, this lady
said something very civil, and
thought she was Andrew Clark's
daughter, SO patted her on the
shoulder very affectionately and said:
MY dear girl, that's very kind of you,
| very kind I heard the car chuck
ling nightly to himself, so looked
more nearly at her, and, God bless
me! It was the czarina herself

LIVE STOCK IN SPRING.

When the colt comes this spring a

It will be we'll to look after the colts
feet before putting them out to pas
ture. A little trimming may make a
better shaped foot.

If tempted to let the cows stable go
without being cleaned out every day
lust because the cows are in shorter
time than in the winter, don't yield.
but clean it out more thoroughly than
ever.
All stock, especially dairy cows, will
do better if put gradually upon pas

out. Give them goods feed of dry
