Paralxnfa of Hogs.

Within the past year large number of reports have come to this office from different parts of the State of what ap- pears to be a paralysis of the back and limbs of hogs. The young pigs are the ones most generally affected. The cause has been-found to be from over feeding young and growing pigs on an exclusive diet of corn and water. Fat Is put on the pigs too rapidly. with the result that the weak bones of a grow ing pig cannot support the rapidly put on flesh. The first symptoms noticed are that the pigs refuse their feed and walk rather stiffiy, continuing to grow worse until they can barely raise them selves upon their front legs. The pigs die of starvation, as they cannot drag themselves to the trough.
 Treatment.-To prevent the young pigs getting sick, very small amount of corn should be fed them while nurs- ing their mothers. Then gradually in crease the amount of corn. When weaned, feed ground feed of bran. shorts, corn, and a little bone meal mix ed with sufficient milk to make thin slop.
 After the young pigs are paralyzed 1t is best to take all corn away from them and see that they are placed at trough of milk in which has been stirred bran and the following tonic, which re- commended by the Bureau of Animal Industry as a preventive against hog cholera and swine plague, and which Is also a very good tonic for hogs:

VETERANS REUNION
None Will Be Held in
North Carolina This
Year.

Mr.. A. 3. Stronach stated yesterday
that there would not be State Re
union of the North Carolina COnfed-
crate Veterans this year. The reason
for this, it appears. is that no city in
the State has rendered the veterans a
reception. and consequently there is no
place in which to meet. 1t was also
stated yesterday by a veteran that the
interest in the reunions seems to Wane.
and the enthusiasm is not as patriotic
and wide and liberal as it used to be.
There were several persons, how
ever vino thought the State Confed7
crate Veterans Reunion should not be
abandoned. and they suggested that
one be held i'm Raleigh during the
state Fair i'm October. As many hun
lreds Of ex-Coufederates will be here
during fair week, the idea might well
10 executed. 1t is understood that
the commandment -chief for North
Carolina who is also president of the
state Confederate Veterans Associa-
ion. has not issued a call for either
1 reunion. or the regular annual meet
ng of the Association.

INTERVIEW WITH HYDE.
Under Care OF Physicians He Makes
Some Statements for Publication.
CBv the Associated Press.)

London. Aug. 21.-John Hyde for
mer statistician of the United States
Department of Agriculture, who at
present is i'm London has been under
the care of q physician for several
weeks and is still prohibited by his
physician from attending to business.
To the Associated Press tonight he
said;
Il have Just seen for the first time
the revised cotton acreage report is
sued by the United States Department
of Agriculture on July &c The crop
estimating board reduces the official
estimate of June by more than l.
100. 900 acres and even goes so far as
to say that | made the estimate lower
than the reports received from official
reporters employed by the bureau var
ranted To this statement l give quail
flied denial and assert that the most
trustworthy of the various sets of fig
ures on which the report of June was
based. afforded the most ample war
rant for my estimate
1T is only by an entire disregard of
the reports of county and TOWNSHIP
correspond ants that the department S
acreage report can be prevented from
once more becoming the laughing
stock of the world When concerned
only with the condition of the grow
ing crop, except under special CiTCum-
stances. the reports of county and
township correspondents are not with
out value. When. however, the cor
respondents reports eSSther upon the
acreage of upon the size of the crop
in bales, their reports are absolutely
worthless. For instance, the croD last
wear was estimated by township CORE
spondents at loss than 1000, 600 bales.
Failure on the part of the board to
ecognize the widely varying degrees
Of reliability which characterize the
reports of its different classes of cor
respondents will inevitably destroy the
value of its reports for general sta
tlstical purposes
Mr.. Hyde said that he gave this in
terview to the Associated Press against
the earnest protest of his physician
and that he had forwarded an affidavit
to Washington covering his connec-
ton with the cotton report. He said
that he expected to return TO America
about October LIST.
