ease, such rations would be of no

by everything conducive to the dread

ter an experience of more than a quar-
ter Of century In swine-raislng, be-

filthy quarters and the other condi-
tons just mentioned. True, the dis.
ease is contagious or more properly
infectious, but even then few hogs
will be afflicted If they have been
properly fed aud housed. The feeding
of roots is advisable and by all means
practice 1t, but do not consider it a
cure for cholera or even a proven

A Day on the Farm
: New York Society Frolic


A New York society woman recent
ly gave clever home entertainment
which she called day on the farm.
The arrangement of the room was
planned to represent farm. The
floor had been carefully sanded, the
carpet being removed. Elaborate
furniture had been replaced by chairs
Of rustic build. and one corner Of the
room was filed by plain wooden
bench, on which shone half dozen
dazzling milk pals. Chickens and
ducks of toy shop variety strutted and
waddled, or rather seemed to do so,
here and there over the sand.
Each guest on entering received a

Each card gave the order of the
evening, which was as follows:
A Day on the Farm.
1. Driving the cows to pasture.
2. Drawing water from the well.
3. Loading the hay wagons.
4. Supper.
Driving the cows to pasture proved
q fascinating bit of nonsense. The

might become even more absurd.
For this feature q huge wooden tub
in the center Of the room, labeled in
large letters, "The Well" was filled
with water. Two diminutive buckets
from doll house outfit were brought
out by the hostess. Each player In
turn was obliged to take the buckets,
fill them at the we'll and then run
around the room holding a bucket In
either hand. The farmer who spilled
the least water in his progress won
the point.
The egg hunt followed. The eggs
to be searched for we're small, oval
bonbons, and were hidden about the
room. Some were red, some white and
some blue. The red egg counted one
point, the white two points and the
blue three. Fifteen minutes were al
lowed for the search, and little baskets
were presented in which to put ones
spcils. At the end Of the time allotted
the eggs found by each searcher were
counted. The counting was done not
according to numbers, but according
to color values.

scene Of toy hay cart rolled in by

Barrows observes that as social rela-

when new laws are rigidly enforced
