T. L. w, Acworth, Ga. writes: l have
a hog ten months old that is sick. When
it took sick it weighed $50 pounds, and
now only weighs about 100 pounds. Can
you tell me what to do with it?
The symptoms given in your letter are
not sufficiently definite to enable a dag
nosis of the disease affecting your hog
with any degree Of certainty, but the
rapid loss of condition would indicate
that the animal is probably affected with
lung worms. Certain symptoms which
you do not mention, indicating the pres
ence of this trouble, are violent fits of
coughing and strangling, often frothy
mucus is raised containing small white
thread-like worms from one-half to one
inch in length. The coughing increases
and the debility becomes more marked
until the animal dies. When the animals
are in good condition the best thing to do
is to butcher them. All sick animals
should be separated from the we'll ones,
as the sick ones will infect the ground,
and the disease is thus likely to spread
The treatment for lung worms is not
satisfactory. One of the best plans is to
place the diseased animals in a close
room and fumigate with sulphur The
sulphur should be sprinkled on live Goals,
and the attendant should stay with the
animals, keeping his head on the same
level as their until he can stand the fumes
no longer; then fresh air should be ad-
mitted. This treatment should be given
once daily for several days.
Another treatment is to inject medicine
into the windpipe by means of hypo-
dermie syringe. Two parts of cotton seed
oil and one part of turpentine will answer
very well. The ingredients should be
thoroughly mixed and from one to three
teasponfuls injected into the windpipe
once a day for three days. When this
operation is performed the animal must
be placed on his rump and held between
the knees while the hypodermic needle is
inserted into the windpipe about three
inches below the throat. The medicine
must be injected gradually. Good feed
is an important matter in fighting any
disease, and the more thoroughly the
body is nourished the better are the
chances of recovery.

The Chinese have always had ath-
letic exercises of a sort in which they
have rather prided themselves, though
none ever seem to have taken such a
hold on the nation as ours have on us
during the last century or so. They
have plenty of stories of strong men
capable of welding extraordinary
weapons, of bending wondrous bows,
or of lifting heavy weights, etc.

of archery were done before an officer
could get his commission in the array

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of
Your Troubles. A River
Falls Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness
when urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all the other symp-
toms of kidney disorders. That is
just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kid
neys. River Falls people testify to
permanent cures.

How Two Boys Landed a Big Fish

How Two Boys Landed a Big Fish.
While Earl Stone and Paris Hatta-
baugh, nine and nineteen years old,
respectively, were fishing in Richland
creek, at the old water mill, one mile
east of town, yesterday they found a
large catfish fastened between a log
of the milldam and a stone. It had
run into the trap during high water,
and as the water receded it was una
bic to get loose.
How to land the fish was question,
for the boys reasoned that the fish, as
soon as dislodged, would become un-
manageable; but they were equal to
the emergency. While Paris sat on
the fish Earl took the shoestring band
from his straw hat, put it through the
gills of the fish and then the two
dragged it ashore. In triumph the
boys brought their catch, the largest
Of the season, to town and found its
weight to be thirty-three pounds.
