An item from the Fulton Ga

county line in Audrain, has. had
some odd and unusual experience
with hogs lately. Out of a bunch
of thirty, shoats that are following
eighty head of steers he is fatten-
ing, twelve are down on their
launches and are apparently help
less as far as their hind legs are
concerned. The afflicted swine do
not drag their hind limbs after
them, as when affected with kid
ney worm or weak loins, but in
stead, the hind legs stick up at
their sides as they crawl about by
means OF their fore legs. They eat
as tho there was nothing wrong
with them and taken altogether it
is a decidedly queer disease.

How 10 e-troy the Mole

There is one p'sl that has demolished
many beautiful pawn, and the worlds
fair landscape gardeners at st. Louis
had a short bnut with it before they
succeeded In overcoming il. This pest
is the mole. These little fellows with
wonderfully powerful fore paws, and
soft aud glossy fur, burruw few inches
under the surfare of the ground and
raise ridges in the lawn. The moles
feed OH the earthwOrms aud harm the
roots Of the grass only incidentally.
But If the mOles are not killed they
will destroy the lawn. Traps are fret ly
advertised but seldom prove effective.
The foreman of the landscape garden
ers is a fearful foe to the mole. lie
watched Mr.. Mole and studied him.
The mole takes his meals regularly-at
8 a. m, noon and 6 p. NJ, and at any
of these hours is the time To catch him.
The ridges made by the mole must
be beaten down, and watched. When
the mole goes over the route again the
ridge Is again raised. Then the proc, IS
is easy. Take IA spade, drive il in. the
ground across the mole's route and he
hind him. Unless this is done be will
skurry underground aud find safety In

Salem On the willamette.

Salem, the capital of Oregon, and
the second city of importance in the
state, has population of 14,5O0 With
its broad and well-paved streets, aud
rows and rows of shade trees, beautiful
residences and substantial public build
ings, Salem is the prettiest town in
Oregon. The city covers a great deal
of territory, making the street car sys-
tenn, which reaches every part of town,
Il great convenience.
The business houses of Salem do a
good retail trade and have large scope
of country to draw from. But it is du-
ring the biennial sessions of the legis-
lature that Salem is IL lively city, Then
it is the rendezvous of the politicians Oi
the state, and half the population of
Portland is there.
Salem is well supplied with daily
newspapers, each of which thoroughly
cover the field. The Statesman, the
morning paper, has had continuous
existence since 1854 The Evening
Journal, bright and spicy, is Editor
Hofer's paper. He has daily circula.
ton of over 1000 and is the one news
paper man in Oregon who admits he
is making money.
