HOG Choiera-A Preventive.


Miss NJ. E. Lowman, OF Townsville,
Georgia, writes to the Agricultural EPItomist
IS follows:
Some time ago i heard friend wonder if
there was such thing q specific for hog
cholera Immediately there came to me a
vision from long ago, Of two gentlemen sitting
on the broad yeranda Of southern farm house,
one, my uncle with whom lived, the other a
planter for Mississippi. The foreman Of the
plantation had just reported the death Of ten
more fat hogs from cholera, and my uncle had
remarked to his visitor that he had already
lost more than fifty hogs from that disease,
and added that the time would soon come
when hog raising would be lost industry in
the south because Of it. The visitor regarded
him attentively for a minute and then said
slowly and impressively, There is not the
slightest need OF hogs dying Of cholera. While
| know of no cure for the disease, do know
a certain preventive, which | have used on
my plantation for years, and urged upon my
neighbors, but its very simplicity prevents It's
general adoption" "What IS i'll? asked my
uncle eagerly Its simplicity will not deter
me from its use, assure you. 1T is simply
tar replied the visitor. II have quantity
of pine tar run, and three times week | have
each ear of corn given them literally smeared
with il They root it about little at FIRST but
they will finally eat it, and J. have never had
q case of cholera since | began to use 1t. y
From that time it was used on my uncle 5
plantation, with the best result.

Murder in New England.
From the baltimore Morning Herald.

From the Baltimore Morning Herald.
A Boston newspaper says "a large proper
ton of the crimes in New England are TRACE
dies where young girls, innocent aud fair, fall
a prey to the frenzied and murderons impulse
of men who, because they did not possess the
power to inspire the affection they coveted,
became murderers, " and cites the cases of SIX
women who have been killed because they re-
fused offers of marriage.
Why crime of this kind should be more
common in New England than elsewhere the
scientific socio:ogist may be able to explain.
This section frequently boasts of its educa
tional advantages, but 1t is evident that in-
struction in the schools only does not go far
enough in making the best citizens. There IS
something wrong in the domestic and indus
trial conditions. If the morals of New Eng
land have not improved with the multiplied
ton of schools the system of education is de-
fective and needs recasting There are many
problems connected with factory life that have
not been solved.
In some sections of New England the
women largely outnumber the men. The
crimes spoken of cannot, therefore, be eX-
planned by saying the man who becomes a
murderer cannot find some woman willing to
marry him The impulse to kill is probably
the last aud most violent expression of a GRIM
inal nature and the causes lie further back.
They may be due TO the environment in fac
tory life with its hard conditions, long hours
aud unsatisfactory pay. or to defective educa-
ton brought about by the necessity to labor at
a time when school should be attended, or to
unwholesomeness in domestic life. Whatever
m be the trouble, It is clear that ii is seri-
Gus one and the State should search for the
cause.

Killed by Negro Burglar.

PATERSON, N. j., June 3O.-After shooting

berg was alone, and grabbed some small ar
ticies from a counter, and then ran out. VOL
lenberg gave chase, and, when be shouted

citizen, made an attempt to head off the negro,

Killed Defending His Hoard.

GREENsBURG, Pa, July 3.-After fighting
desperately to save his boarded earnings,
George Uhring, Slav, was shot and killed
by man supposed to be Edward Floyd, a
negro. at Bessemer, near Pleasant Unity, to
day. Both were employed at the Bessemer
Coal Company's works. Floyd knew of Uhr-
ing's expected trip to his native country to see
his wife and children two weeks hence, and
it is said, planned TO steal the money.
Uhring, who shared room with seven other
coke workers, was awakened from sleep to
find some one Juggling at his money bag, which
he carried about his neck. The two men
clinched and fought until the assailaRt drew
a revolver and shot Uhring four times. He
then escaped from the building. Floyd was
captured later and positively identified by
Uhring's roommates as the murderer.

Round the same hearth we played.

STATE HOUSE,
Railroad Tax for 1904 Will
Be Over $4,000.
National Guard officers Named for
Course at Fl. Leavenworth.
Fish and Game Mattsrs-Maine SOL
dier's Heirs Wanted.

The next work of the State assessors
will be the commitment of the railroad
tax for the year which ended last June.
This tax is based upon the returns
made by the railroads to the railroad
commissioners, al! OF which We're re-
ccivcd some time ago. On the basis of
these returns, it is estimated that the
railroad tax for the present year will be
about $i400 0D, and may be il little more
than this sum. This is a great increase
over the tax for last year, when it
amounted to $3oS.64l. The tax for 1902
present year shows a gain of more than
500. 0Ge owe" the tax of two years ago.
This railroad tax is based upon the
gross transportation earnings of the
roads, the rates ranging from one
fourth of one pr cent to four per cent
according to the amount OF the earn
ingS. The Maine Central and the BoS-
ton Maine earn sufficient sums SO that
they are taxed TO the full four per cent
limit, and the tax of the Grand Trunk
is nearly as high. While the smaller
roads which do less business are taxed
at Il lower rate. This great increase in
the railroad tax in the past two years
shows in Il most gratifying manner the
increased business which our Maine
railroads are doing. and as 4 splendid
index TO the general progress and pros
perity Of the State.
