PARALYSIS IN PIGS.
Cause and Symptoms Of the Disease.
Prevention and Remedy.

Cause and symptoms of the Disease.
Prevention and Remedy.
Nearly all hog raisers have had ex-
perience of paralysis among the hogs
of their herds. The Kansas expert
ment station recently issued bulle-
tin that deals with the cause Of the
disease and the remedies. It says
The cause has been found to be from
overlooking young growing pigs on an
exclusive diet of corn and water. Fat
is put on the pigs 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 stiffly, 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.
To prevent young pigs getting sick
very small quantity of corn should
be fed them while nursing their moth
ers. Then gradually increase the
amount Of corn. When weaned, feed
ground feed or bran, shorts and corn
and little bone meal mixed with suf-
ficient milk to make a thin slop.
After young pigs are paralyzed it is
best to take all corr away from them
and see that they ere placed at a
trough Of milk in which has been STIR
red bran and the following tonic,
which is recommended by the bureau
of animal industry as a preventive
against hog cholera and swine plague
and which is also very good tonic
for hogs:

These ingredients should be COM
pletely pulverized and thoroughly mix
ed. The dose of this mixture is large
tablespoonful for each 200 pounds Of
weight of hog to be treated, and it
should be given only once day. When
hogs are affected with these diseases
they should not be fed on corn alone,
but they should have at least once a
day soft feed made by mixing bran
and middlings or middlings and corn
meal, or ground oats and corn or crush

and when they once taste of food with
which it has been mixed they will eat

BOARD OF EDUCATION LECTURES

Through the cooperation of the University F,x
tension societies the public lecture bureau of the
Board of Education is now able to offer courses
given at the colleges. To enable the auditors at
the lectures to study home along the lines Of
the courses arrangements have been made with
the public library to list at its various branches
books bearing on the lecture courses.
Lists of these books AMI the location Of tha

MYsTERIors WHITE RACES.

The idea that in remote parts of the tropics.
amid the dark skinned races, there exist Inys-
ferrous isolated white tribes bearing a strong
resemblance TO Europeans has long possessed
curious fascination for the Old World.
For years stories of such race have been told
in the Persian Gulf. and the Rev. S. NJ. Zwemer,
an American missionary stationed at MuScat
alluded some time ago to coffee house babble
in Eastern Oman concerning mysterious race
of light complexioned people who live some
where in the mountains shun strangers and
speak language of their own" Various theo-
ries have been propounded TO explain the fable,
but probably the explanation is to be found in
the narrative of journey made in oman in
1876 by Colonel 5. b. Miles published some time
ago in The Geographical Journal" Colonel
Miles, in the course of his travels nearly thirty
years ago, came across town named SheraiZi
in the heart of the Green Mountains This
strange place perched like eagles nest
on the top of great cliff, and was inhabited
by people of lighter skin than the rest of the
tribes of the interior. They rarely descended
to the plains and refused to mix or ntermarry
with the Arabs. Colonel Miles found they
the descendants of portion of the Persian army
which invaded Oman in the tenth century The
isolation of the town and the curious behavior
of its people through so many generations would
undoubtedly give rise to exaggerated stories in
the bazaars on the distant coast. and in this

Damage from Great Storms =
INDIGNATION Among Hethodists.

San Francisco March 16.-SeVere storms OF
wind and rain have swept over California this
weak doing great good to crops, but causing
much damage to railroads. especially in the
more southern cities. The worst storm. which
ragged on Monday for twenty-four hours was
acoon1pan MED by wind OF hurricane violence
Rain fell heavily and caused washouts on the
Southern Pacific lines and the Santa Fe which
have not vet been thoroughly repaired. All direct
telegraph communication with Southern Call
fornia was cut off for two days. messages from
San Francisco to Fresno Los Angeles going
nv wav of Chicago Even telephone lines were
Frustrated for an entire day. Another extremely
heavy storm came Wednesday in the south and
again rendered futile the efforts OF railroad
managers to get trains moving. At Bowen and
Los Angeles the worst landsides occurred ana
there were more than thousand passengers de-
layed all of one day after having suffered equal
DELAY al Santa Barbara. These were not traV-
ellers but business men. The railroad agents
had to feed more than half of them.
The rain, especially in Southern California,
was the heaviest known In many years Coming
as il did with fierce wind, it created havoc
all along the seashore and in and around Los
Angeles where many fine ornamental gardens
were wrecked. Fall reports have not come in
from all parts OF Southern California but the
damage from broken bitches and ruined
orchards will be large.

of natural causes will probably put an end to

THE JARL'S MERCY.

Now, as all the townfolk shouted. the jarl to

And passed board of Tranan, for that was
his longship's

from the quay,
Who cried, Il starve in Bergen, take

Then the jarl cast ThoroIf from him, that down
the deck he fell
And loud the shipments laughter for the
shipfolk held it we'll
They loved the jarl and his bounty, and thought
1t idle thing
That a starving brat from Iceland should trouble
the son of king.
But yet man silent; grim grew his
swarthy face,
For long had he served Jarl Eric, and he deemed
II high disgrace
That, before the Bergen townfolk, the jarl with
his store OF gold,
Should thrust from him hungry children to
starve and die in the cold.
So he gripped his right starkly, and he spake
like a Norseman free,
"A boon! BOOM Jarl Eric, wilt give that child
to me?
BY his dress he comes from Iceland and an Ice
land am l.
I'll him up as a viking; I'll not let him
starve nor die!'
Though at first the jarl looked wrathful, on
sudden his face grew bright.

So he spake. and the shipfok cheered him, till

And poor little Thorof shouted, "Jarl Erics
