King Gustave of Sweden, who re-

that this was only the beginning. He

ed, he had obtained many valuable
hints from the men with whom be
worked.
The determination of King Gustave
to learn of the conditions of the work
ingmen by mingling with them and
taking part in their labors has resulted
from the recent great tieup of the
business life of the country by gen
eral strike. King Gustave interviewed
last August in an endeavor to secure
a compromise. but without avail. The
strike continued for months and in

Eventually arbitration was undertake

CHOLERA IN HOGS.
What Causes the Disease and How to
Prevent 1t.

Prevent 1t.
Hog cholera is largely due to bad
care and poor food. Give the hogs
good grass pasture, with shade and
an abundance of pure running water.
A light feed Of fresh mill feed sIop
may be given twice day if the pas
ture is short Mix one handful of salt
in one peck of wood ashes and spread
it on clean sod twice a week. In the
west the following is given as a pre-
ventive to a herd of fifty half grown
hogs every other week when cholera
is prevalent in the neighborhood: Ear
pentine. one-half pint; mix it in the
water and give every second week;
venetian red. one pound; mix it in the
water every alternate week.
Cholera affects the bowels most, and
swine plague most affects the lungs.
Cholera in swine is very similar to
typhoid fever in man. DR.. W. b. Niles
of Iowa says: '"To prevent hog cholera
or swine plague so manage your hogs
as to prevent their coming in contact
with other hogs. Keep them from all
water save from deep wells, protect
them from visits of strangers and
dogs, and before introducing a new
hog into the herd keep him quaran-
tined for thirty days. some distance
from the herd. If the disease makes
its appearance in the herd burn every
dead hog at once and remove the
healthy ones to fresh grass pasture.
Use disinfectants freely. Whitewash
pens, fences and troughs with hot
lime wash. Mix two ounces of car
bolic acid in each bucket of wash or
wash the boots and clothing of at
tendant with hot water and plenty
of SOAP"

USEFULNESS OF GOATS.
What Can Be Accomplished by Raising
the Angora and Common Breeds.

What Can Be Accomplished by Raising
the Angora and Common Breeds.
The question of the value of Angora
goats is at present being discussed by
farmers and expert breeders through
out the country. The brush eating in
stinct Of the Angora is being demon
strated on the Lasson national forest
in California. This experiment may
prove valuable to the government, but
not to the farmer AS Angora goats
are no better for sprouting land than
other goats and are more expensive, it
might be fully as profitable in this in
stance to purchase common goats,
which can at times be obtained for al
most song.
After the common goats have done
their work they can be put on the mar
ket again and will bring the money
paid for them.
In certain sections of the United
States the raising of Angoras has
never been very profitable, outside of
their brush eating proclivities, while,
on the other hand. the raising Of the
"billy" has proved to be paying in
vestment for any farmer. Two impor

Hiuh Cost of Beauty.

Though the prescription seems to
have disappeared from the pharma-
copia of modern beauty specialists"
it was for centuries notorious that to
feed on snake meat was the way to
win perpetual youth; to cure goiter,
again, or any other swelling, all that
was necessary was to MUNICH a viper,
from the tail up, as it might be a
stick of celery; while yet another
snake, if eaten, conferred the power
of understanding all the tongues OF
birds.

His wife was allowed SO cents week,

EXIT DIR. COOK.

When the news was given out by
DR.. Cook that he had discovered the
North Pole, and only few day later
Commander Peary made the statement
that he also had been successful in
discovering it, the world at large
rejoiced with them and felt that the
honor was great enough to be shared
between them. When Peary denied
that Cook had been to the pole, and
pronounced his story a fake, those
who knew Peary's peppery and jealous
disposition naturally and almost I'M
consciously found their confidence and
sypmathy going out to Cook as a man
unjustly assaulted and denounced. The
actions Of the rival explorers seemed
to justify this, as Cook refused to
reply to any of Peary's abuse but
acted the gentleman's nart through
out.
In spite Of the fact that Cook had
produced no actual proof Of his dis
covery there was an indefnable some
thing about his statements that seem
ed to convince the world of his
sincerity-or at least most of the
world-one local newspaper man now
declaring that he had him spotted as
a fraud from the first
1t must be confessed that when
Cook took the lecture platform and
dilly-dalIied about submitting any
proofs, and especially when he decIar-
ed that he had left his instruments
and most convincing proofs buried in
the ice Of the polar regions, suspicion
Of his sincerity began to spread: and
once spread it grew rapidly.
The decision of the university of
Copenhagen, to which DR.. Cook cub
mitted his "proofs'' has utterly re-
pudiated his claims to the discovery
of the pole and the whole world is
now compelled to recognize that it
has been faxed in a monumental and
most audacious manner
Cook has disappeared with the
usual string Of conjectuIes as to his
whereabouts. He has been reported
as taking "rest cure" at sanitariums
of various sorts. One of his friends
claims ne is in Norway. Another
suspicious that he has been murdered.
Ris former attorney who has now
deserted him, says he went to Europe
in disguise, fearing for his life and
that he rad a cablegram from him in
Portugal but has since lost track of
him.
And so goes rumor, but at all
events he has proven a faker and
forfeited all of the confidence and
honor so freely accorded him, and so
long as he may live ne can have moth
ing but the scorn and contempt of all
who know him, a man unworthy of
belief or respect of honest men.

A PINE spEo1MEN OF ANaoRA.

tant things that stand by common
goats are that they are very prolific
and the raising of the kids is an easy
matter. An expert advises those who
contemplate purchasing goats for
sprouting to buy those of the ordinary
breed, for they will prove to be more
serviceable for that purpose and less
expensive to keep. But, if goats are
to be used for Kidding the pastures Of
ticks, by all means get Angoras.
A flock of Angoras placed on a field
of 1900 acres that is infested with
ticks will clean it in less than one
year. Such an experiment was made
recently on a field of about that, size
in the south that had been badly over
pastured and infested, so much SO that
the owner had to take most of his
stock from it. After purchasing q
number of Angoras he turned them
upon it and perhaps saved his entire
stock and rid his field of the tick pest
for all time.
