A TYPE OF HOG CHOLERA.

The department of agriculture re-
ports the discovery of type of hog
cholera which is not caused by bacteria
but which is none the less exceeding
ly contagious. Hogs coming in con-
tact with the sick almost invariably
contract the disease. which, fortunate
ly cannot be communicated to any 9TH
er animal than the hog. The symp-
toms noticed are largely the same as
in the ordinary swine plague and hog
cholera. The first day there is loss
of appetite and listlessness; the second
day the hog becomes very sick, hollow
in the flanks, with a staggering gait.
maybe diarrhoea and again maybe not.
The eyes become sore and the lids
glued together. Death usually takes
place within seven 6lys, and approx
imately within two weeks after the
first exposure. The disease particu-
larly affects the kidneys. 1t is con-
fined so far to southwestern Iowa. and
farmers in that section should be par
ticularly careful not to allow strange
hogs to come on their farms or to per-
nit their hogs in any way to come in
contact with other herds.
The department recommends the iso-
lation of all sick animals and the dis
infection of all infected lots with n
thorough disinfectant. The details of
special methods of treatment will be
given to the public by the department
in due time.

In building fences for swine they
should be strongly built Some pigs
are much quieter than others and are
much more easily fenced in. When.
however, swine that are confined be-
gin to learn that they can break
through fence, it soon becomes no
easy matter to confine them. 1t is
very much better. therefore, to have
the fence strongly built at the first.
Some claim that it is necessary to
have a barbed wire strung along the
posts near the ground. no matter what
the character of the fence above it.
We do not entirely indorse this view.
We think there are some kinds of
woven wire fence which would be
found strong enough to confine swine
without the barbed wire referred to.
With reference to cooking food for
swine, those who write upon the aues-
tion generally advise against it. They
do so on the ground that 1t has been
found by experiment that 1t does not
pay to cook food for swine. The fact.
however, is too frequently lost sight of
that in the winter ssason It is wise
TO steam food for swine for the reason
that it may be fed to them in a warm
state. When thus fed it warns the
body and keeps the animals more
comfortable than they otherwise would
be. Because of this, therefore, II
doubtless does pay to steam food for
swine, when the weather is quite cold,
although it does not pay to steam 1t
or cook it when the weather is COM

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia e. Pinkham's

Gent treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med

purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

saving her life.

The Cost of Food.

Those who have made an exhaustive
study of the cost of food assure us that
this item ranges about the same in this
different markets of the country, al.
though in some places one supply may
cost more and another less than in q
place hundreds of miles away. Those
who have gardens of their own, or who
are able to buy directly from the farm
of neighbor, with no intervening mid
dle-man and no ascending scale Of
profit from producer to consumer, may
live more cheaply than their friends who
possess no such advantage.
In the country, for instance, the only
money actually expended may be laid
out for meat when the butcher makes
his weekly round with his cart. Other
articles of food are raised on the farm
and the thrifty housewife has the
chance to barter her eggs and butter in
the nearest town for other things that
she needs. Country jewellers should
live much better, all things considered.
than their city cousins. The latter, how.
ever, need not go beyond their means il
they purchase with discretion and suf-
fer no waste in the household. In a
great city a visit to the market, hero
or there, is revelation of the COM
merce of the globe. Fruits, vegetables,
dairy products, meat, everything in
splendid variety shows how interde-
pendent we are, and how swiftly trains
ply and steamers race across the sea,
that the world may be fed. Buyers
have only to choose from an abundant
and attractive bill of fare.
The crying sin of American house
keeping is willful waste. The amount
of good food that is daily thrown away
by people of limited means is positive
| ly shocking. One housekeeper in ten
takes proper care of left-overs from the
table, and suffers nothing to be lost
through forgetfulness, or cast by q
thriftless maid into the garbage pail.
The average maid despises small econ
omies, but this is no reason why she
should not be taught to practice them.
The cost of living in thousand homes
might annually be diminished by a
tenth without a single person in the
household mourning the slightest self
denial.
In a thousand homes, too, more
careful buying and more careful saw
ing would result in a gratifying sum
in the bank at the end of each twelve
month. If the cost of living is higher
than it once was, we must remem-
Der that the wage-rate is also higher
and that the country is not In the
least impoverished, but, on the con-
trary, exceedingly well-to-do. We
may share It's prosperity if as individ-
uals we look out for waste.
