HEALTH or THE HOG.

Measurss That Should oe Taken 60
Protect The Hssd.
& After all, the old adnge that an ounce
OF prevention d worth pounds Of curs
holds good In protecting the health Of
the hog Cholera receives credit for
killing many animals whose death
u due to other causes. Many Of these
troubles can be guarded against Or
may be successfully treated.
In the way Of preventive measures
drst and foremost stands the natural
sunshine the best antiseptic and ger.
micide known. Here Ii where. other
things being equal the large, fancy
hog house Is less desirable than the
small, individual farrowing house in
which the sun can penetrate every
nook and corner. drying; warming and
disinfecting thoroughly every inch of
surface.
y It might be said to an almost equal
extent that the more dipping the less
disease. as the dipping process not
only destroys the vermin, but stimu-
lates the action Of the skin and, re-
tlexly, the digestive organs.
During last fall and winter several
outbreaks Of true hog cholera were
caused by the lack Of q little foresight
in not properly handling breeding and
show stock. No hog or pig should be
placed among strange animals without
first being kept in quarantine for 4
few weeks and dipped several times.
In buying breeding stock or show
stock, returning home they should al
ways be dipped upon arriving and at
the end Of the quarantine. period be-
fore turning them In with the rest Of
the herd. BY quarantining, in this In
stance; is meant the keeping Of the
animals entirely by themselves and
cared for by an attendant who never
goes near the main herd until such
time as it is decided positively that
they have not been infected with dis.
ease.
When symptoms Of cholera appear
in a herd it is wise to, dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thorough
", give them slight change in feed
and add to this about five drops Of
tincture of prickly ash for each hun
dred pounds Of hog once or twice per
day. The old remedy Of wood ashes
and salt is good in many instances. A
little powdered sulphate of copper,
dried sulphate Of iron or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good.-F. 8. Schoenleber, D. v. s., Pro-
fessor of Veterinary Science, Kansas

THE IDEAL POULTRY HOUSE.

The ideal poultry house is difficult to
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business in regard to
which there is wider difference Of
opinion than on this point. 1t seems to,
be the general opinion that the type
of house is not very important so long
as it is dry, we'll ventilated, and the
fowls have plenty of the proper kind
of food. Food is the essential thing, and
of course certain foods are much bet
ter than others. A. NJ. Brown of North
Rochester, Mass, gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: II have fed nearly all
the poultry foods on the market, but
not with such returns as Pages Per
fected Poultry Food gives. Ny hens
have an average of so percent to their
credit Last winter it was so percent.
1 know this food is the best on the mar
ket"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it,
write to C. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
for his booklet, profitable Poultry"
1t will be sent free, postpaid, to anyone
mentioning this paper.

PACE II

At the porte he was greeted by the
burgomaster. There was a moment of
speechmaking; the king replied; the
queen bowed. Then a detail of troops
dashed down the street, clearing the
way with much flashing of sabres and
scabbards and helmets and the city
was entered, to the rising cheer of
thousands upon thousands of Threats
and the booming of salutes.
Long before dawn the city was astir
and hours before the time set for the
beginning of the ceremonies the
streets were crowded, every window
along the kings route was filled and
fringes of humanity blackened the
roofs. The crowds were reinforced by
thousands who did not come to see
the funeral of Leopold and it was esti-
mated that fully 500, 900 was the
population of Brussels, normally
200, 900. Solid rows of troops lined
the streets through which the king
passed.
The dignitaries and officials began
early to crowd into the grand palace,
the parliamentary chambers. The
senate room was the scene of the in
vestiture. There regiment of royalty
assembled. The picture was colorful,
the bright robes of cardinals adding
to the brilliancy of princes uniforms.
Many Horses cremated
New York, Dec. 27.-More than.
fifty horses were burned to death and
two firemen were overcome during a
fire in stable in East Ninety-Eighth
street. The loss totals about $50, :
900. The cause of the fire has not
been determined.

Brussels, Dec. 24.-Albert 1, King
of the Belgians, in his speech from
the throne just after he had taken the
oath that made him king, promised
reform In the Congo. The reform will
bring an end to the barbarities that
caused his predecessor, Leopold, to
be hated throughout the world.
"Belgium's colonial policy is one of
humanity and progress said the
king. ''To a people inspired with the
love of justice mission of colonial

civilization. Belgium has always full
filled her promises, and when she I'm
dertook to apply to the Congo a policy
worthy of the Belgians,+ no one had
the right to doubt her word"
Brussels yesterday tore down the
mourning draperies and Haunted the
gayest of colors. For Leopold was
buried, and the reign of Alber
began. A good looking youns
man, handsome in the uniform of {
lieutenant general, wearing thu
grand Gordon of the Order of Leopold
stood before the representatives of hi
people and the rulers of the world.
He swore to uphold the law, TIL
rights of his subjects and the nationa
unity. By that rite, simple in itself
a king was made. The Count of Elan
ders had become Albert 1, King of tn
Belgians.
Albert went from Laeken, wher
Leopold died, to Brussels, as had hi
uncle before him, forty-fiv years be
fore. The queen preceded him wit

double boulevard along the Scheld
canal. Before reaching the city limit
Albert left the coach and mounted hi
horse.
