Guest of MOOnshiners.

One Of the most amusing stories told
of DR.. Wentworths mountain adveu-
lures. was when he was detained three
days at a mountain cabin because Of
the suspicious on the part of his host,
an old .nountaiueer, that he was rev
enue spy, The old man was a famous
moonshiner, and had been operating
a still for many years. DR.. Wentworth
did not know this at the time. He
simply stopped to spend the night, and
get acquainted with he family. one
ot the Old mans sons took his horse,
and said he would put if in the stable.
The stable was nothing but a shed,
and when the time came, the next
day for Dr. Wentworth to 90 on mis-
way, II was found that his horse had
run away.
Now. the horse was we'll trained.
and Dr Wentworth had no hesitancy
about turning it loose to Craze when
ever he stopped to rest at midday The
horse would never leave him. It
struck Dr. wentworth as peculiar that
while there was plenty Tor the horse
to eat around the stable, be should
have gone away. The half grown sons
of his host assured him, however, that
the horse had broken loose and disap-
peared. DR.. Wentworth suggested that
they hunt him up, so. accompanied by
ore of the sons. ne hunted through the
mountains half a day. without find
ing the horse. To make a long story
short, it was two days before The

FASHION IN DRINK.
Absinthe Frappe Made Popular by a
Song, Scotch Whiskey by Golf.

'EStrange things govern peoples
taste in the matter Of drinks, - said
the old time, white haired barkeeper.
EtBefore the 'Absinthe Frappe' was
sung in Nordland' we very rarely had
call for absinthe in that form.
t.The tune and words Of the song
were catchy; people got to. learning it,
they caught the songs sentiment and
began to think about the drink. Then
they: began to try it.
"Few care for the new decoctlon
the first time. It tasted like dlssolv-
ed cough drops, but like the olive hao-
it, it doesn't take long to get 1t. The
:absinthe frappe' is now a most pop
ular drink in the Tenderloin.
"Scotch whiskey: came to America
with golf. Before the humping OF
the little white ball became popular
American sport some Scotch whiskey
was drunk. It was usually taken hot
as a winter drink.
ttThen came the highball and every
BODY drank Scotch. But Scotch IS
palling on the public taste. After
A man has drunk Scotch for a few
months he gets so that the peculiar
smoky favor is lost, and he finds his
drink a strong, rather rough whlskey
without the smoke that was the re-
deeming feature when the habit was
young.
sBesides, so many things that are
not Scotch at all, that never crossed
the ocean and never saw dlstlllery
are sold from reflled bottles, that one
hardly knows what he Is getting. 1t
IS always that way with q drink that
becomes popular.
:tThe fad for foreign drinks fol-
lowing the introduction of Scotch, led
to Irish whiskey, Kimmel whiskey' va
rious bitters and sweet cordlals tor
the women.
''But all these fads are dying OUT
and we have fewer calls for unusual
drinks. People are getting back tc
GOOD old Kentucky and Pennsylvanla
GRADES of whiskey.- Straight red IL

ease. cholera. makes all too frequent
" in the herd There IS no "cure-
all for cholera. but if the hog were
more generally prized and given that
attention which he merits there would
be less trouble from cholera. Dis
eased hogs should be isolated when
they die-destroyed by burning. a
large per cent of the hogs raised are
allowed to range at will, and should
one die the carcass is left just where
it fell, and buzzards and other birds
scatter the germs here and there.
Many of the hogs that die contaml-
nate the streams, and animals farther
down contract the disease in this way.
The man who hopes to make money
out Of hogs must look after the sanl-
tarv condition Of his animals. dlsln-
feet them properly, see that the pens
are we'll cleaned and cared for. and
that wholesome food is provided. At
tention to these details will generally
be found effectual in protecting the
herd.

Hogs AS Ready Cash Products.

Prof. Andrew M. SoulA in South
ern Farm Magazine Of Baltimore for
March:
Fer the small farmer the hog is
the animal par excellence to grow, as
he natures in from 10 to y months
and has a ready cash value on the
market. Furthermore. hogs can be
raised cheaper than any other class
Of stock, for under the modified sys-
tenn Of practice outlined below hogs
may be made to weigh 1SO to 200
pounds in 10 to IL months on min
imum ration Of grain, say from tive
to ten bushels Of corn. This, compar-
ed with the exclusive corn-fattenlng
practiced generally, would revolu-
tionize the whole business from f.
nancial standpoint. The south does
not grow corn on anything like the
scale followed III the west, but it has
been clearly demonstrated that sub
stitutcs Of equal value to corn can be
utilized III the south at a minimum
Of cost, so that the compensating in
fuences Of nature have placed the
southern farmer on a plane where he
can compete successfully with the
western hog-raiser.
The hog has long been recognized
as a mortgage-lifter, but his good
qualities are often ignored because Of
the inroads which the dreaded dis
