Hog Cholera is a germ disease of the
intestines. The cholera bacteria finds
its way into the animal through the
drinking water or filth, passing into
the stomach and finally down along the
intestines it sets UP fermentation and
from there filters through the blood,
| liver and other organs
Hog Cholera cannot be treated sue
cessfully unless treatment is COM
menced before the germ has reached
the period OF rapid multiplication. II
taken in time it can be cured and in all
cases prevented by the use of Liquid
Koal because It'll the only known ger
micide that will pass through the
stomach into the intestines and from
there into the blood, permeatlng the
whole system aud still retain its germ
killing properties. All other so-called
cholera cures lose their potency by the
acid reaction of the gastric juices OF
the stomach, hence have no value.
LIQUID Koal is also the best remedy
| for chicken cholera.

PROFIT IN ADVERTISING.
The Local Merchant and Newspaper
Should Cooperate.

There is tendency on the part
of some merchants to make them
selves believe that advertising IN
their local papers is money thrown
away, yet these same merchants
will catch at every fake advertls-
ing scheme presented to them and
pay out more money, for some
thing which they afterward &C
knowledge has done them no
good, than it would cost them to
advertise literally in their local
papers several weeks.
There are two reasons why the
merchant is led into this p1tfall;
first the stranger who presents
the fake has time and glib tom
que to make his scheme appear
plausible; and second, the mer-
chant is so well acquainted with
the local papers that he seldom
reads the advertisements and
thinks no one else does.
The merchant makes a mistake
in both instances. He should
consult the publisher of his local
newspaper and secure his advice
regarding the value. of the adver-
tising offered by the stranger.
The merchant who does not read
the advertisements contained in
his home paper neg1ects his duty
/. both to himself and his commune
ty. He does not know what other
business men in his town are do
ing-he does not keep abreast of
the times. If the merchant takes
no interest in his home paper and
does not keep posted on what is
going on he very soon becomes d
back number.

Of his crime, but shielded him from the
officers of the law. Here he lived until
his crime brought terrible retribution.
During the summer months the
springs near which the Indian camp
had been pitched for years dried up.
The Mojaves were at loss to under
stand the cause of the misfortune, but
finally concluded that there was an
evil spirit among them. In seeking
out the one that had brought bad luck
the suspicion of the medicine man of
the camp fell upon George Bruce. I'll
was concluded that Bruce was be-
witched by the spirit Of his victim,
Maria Victoria, and that he had in
turn cast an evil spell upon the springs
and caused them to dry UP. A council
was held, and it was quickly decided
to get rid of the hoOdoo. The men Of
the camp assembled as the California
Indians had done for the trial of Maria
Victoria. A circle was formed, and the
ceremony Of trial and condemnation
was carried out much after the manner
of the one that preceded Maria Vic
tOria's execution. Bruce was brought
forward and a rope placed around his
neck, as he had placed one around the
neck of his victim. But here the SINH
larity of the execution ended.
An Indian mounted upon pony rode
within the circle and tied the other end
Of the rope around the pommel of his
saddle Slowly he rode out of camp
and into wide patch Of sand, cactuses
and sagebrush, Bruce trotting along
behind him. Suddenly the rider wheeled
about, put spurs to his pony and jerked
the doomed man off his feet. Lashing
the pony into a furious pace. Bruce
was dragged back and forth through
the cactus patch and finally hauled into
camp over the rock strewn trail. Here
the squaws set upon the now lifeless
body and with long switches cut the
shapeless remains of the victim to
pieces.

the fourth month, when l feed my cat
tie on a full feed of corn. My belief
is that it is best to leave out the oats
as soon as the cattle are in condition
to stand full feed of corn. Corn
alone fattens cattle most rapidly and
puts them in marketable condition
quicker than any other food or combi-
nation of foods. l usually feed my cat
tie about four months. For roughage
l use oats and fax straw. l have
never tried cottonseed meal or any of
the gluten feeds. AS to shelter, have
large, roomy, we'll ventilated houses.
The cattle have free access to these
and go in and out at their pleasure.
Marketing Cattle.
The extensive marketing of cattle at
this time indicates, according to the
National Stockman, that feeders are
becoming somewhat panicky and want
to escape with as little loss as possible
by putting their stock on the market
early. or course nobody knows how
many cattle are on feed and to come
forward later in the winter, but the
condition above stated suggests that the
marketing then will not be so heavy as
has been anticipated. Certainly if the
movement Of half fat cattle to market
continues there will be fewer fat ones
to compete with each other later on
There is every reason to expect good
supply for months yet, but an oversup-
ply Of late cattle may be avoided by
the scare that is now sending so many
to the slaughterer. Prices have suf-
fered materially of late, and few sales
above Sc are now recorded at Chicago,
though fancy beeves still sell in linn
tied way up to 81.

heavy cant dog, the miller made a dash
Tor the figure, striking at it as he did
SO, but meeting with no resistance. The
neavy weapon passed through the head
ana shoulders of the figure as though
striking at mist. Again and again the
exasperated miller struck at the figure,

mystery really meant. Arriving at the
darkest corner, the ghost turned and
raced Its pursuer, slowly raising an ad-
monishing finger. Then it vanished.
That ended night work in the mill.
1t was afterward learned that the
former owner of the mill had been
swindled out Of his property short
time before his death, and it was popu-'
larry believed that he revisited the
scene Of his earthly activity at night
and took delight in tormenting the
lessee.

Mr.. NJ. J. Mills, Corsicana, Tex, SUBJ
mits the following queries:
First.-Should alfalfa be cut several
times in order to keep it in good,
healthy condition for hog pasture?
Second.-How many pounds Of pork
will a ton Of alfalfa hay make when
fed to healthy, thrifty hogs?
In reply Prairie Farmer says: When
ever alfalfa is used for pasture and
there are not hogs enough to use it up,
1t should be cut whenever it reaches
the blooming stage. If it is not cut,
the alfalfa becomes woody, and it's
growth is also checked. Cutting of al
falfa causes it to send out new sprouts
that are greatly relished by the hogs.
The pounds of pork produced by
ton of alfalfa hay will vary with the
individuality of the hogs and especial
ly with the quality of hay. In an eX-
pertinent carried out by the Kansas eX-
pertinent station it was found that al
falfa hay that was cut late and had
many of the leaves shattered showed a
gain of only 1913 pounds of pork per ton
on alfalfa hay. Another experiment
where the hay was cut and cured ear
lier and the leaves remained on the
stem the hogs made S6S pounds of pork
per ton on alfalfa hay. We do not con-
slider the results as being due entirely
to the nutrients contained in the alfal-
ia. The alfalfa hay gives variety to
the ration, makes it more appetiZing,

A Robertson county subscriber writes
two ago you mentioned the particulars
Of big Tennessee hog which weighed
a little over 500 pounds. On Jan. /
there was slaughtered perhaps the big
gest hog in Robertson county. 1t was
owned by Cephus Wood, who lives near
Cedar HILL
The hog was three years old, of Po-
land China stock On foot it measured
I feet 8 inches in length, 8 feet in girth
and 26 inches across the shoulders. 1t
weighed, gross, 800 pounds; net, TIC
pounds. Pretty good for a Tennessee
porker.
The Knowing Brood Sow
A brood SOW knows some things as
well as anybody. She knows what she
ought to eat, and if she can get to it
she will eat it, and it will do her good;
hence SOW running in pasture will
not only have needed exercise, but she
will get a bite here and there needed by
her system and condition and as a re-
suit will do better than if kept penned
and fed everything that can be thought
of. Animal instinct is often better than
the art of man.
The Profitable Porker.
! The most profitable pork hog is the
one that gets all his growth within eight
or nine months. Long before even this
age the amount of feed required to
make pound of pork begins to de-
crease, and pigs that are kept over win
ter are liable to eat their heads off I'M
less the most judicious and economical
methods of feeding be adopted.-Farm

TERRIBLE story Of savage SUI

among the Mojave Indians along

and jealousy were the melting forces
Of the tragedy.

lite Wash mountains, Arizona. Hespe-
ria is small settlement on the line of
the Santa Fee railroad in the San Ber-
nardino mountains.
In the Hesperia camp was big In
dian named George Bruce. How he
came by the name no one seems to
know. Bruce took to wife an Indian
girl known as Anita. Anita had a sis
ter, Maria Victoria, who came to live
with the newly welded couple. In the
course of time Anita became violently
Jealous Of her husbands attentions to
Maria Victoria. She set about for
means to put her out of the way. She
told Bruce that Maria Victoria was a
witch and that If she were not put out
of the way death and misfortune would
come to the entire camp and to him
self in particular.
For long time, it has since been
learned, Bruce resisted the insidious
and murderous advice of his wife.
Anita was persistent, however, and did
not neglect to charge every i'll that be-
fell an inhabitant of the little camp to
the witchery Of Maria Victoria. Bruce
gave way finally before the persistence
of his wife and agreed to put an end to
Maria Victoria in the manner of deal
ing with witches-namely, by stran-
Cling her.
Anita played upon the superstitious
fear not alone Of her husband, but Of
the entire camp, and convinced them all
that Maria Victoria, her sister, was
witch. One day in April last the In
dams assembled at chosen spot far
up in the San Bernardino mountains,
the condemned but unsuspecting girl
among them. A circle was formed and
sort Of preliminary ceremonial car
ried out. Maria Victoria was then
brought into the center of the circle
and promptly condemned by two In
dams sitting as judges in the case.
Bruce was selected as the executioner.
