TO Cure Canl&er in Pigs.
Canker sore mouth always appears
in young pigs under six weeks old and
frequently with fatal results, The
symptoms are as follows: Large water
blisters appear about the lips and
snout, rapidly succeeded by much heat
and swelling of the parts, aud later
thick brown scabs appear, which open
into deep cracks. These scabs extend
over the face, head and even to the
body and limbs, the joints of the latter
becoming much swollen and infahed.
Ulcers frequently form about the
snout and jaws, eating the flesh from
the bones. The pigs show dullness. a
disinclination to move, often refuse to
suckle, or to do SO In very half
hearted manner
To be effective the treatment should
be prompt and thorough. Prepare
solution of permanganate Of potash,
which can be had at any drug store,
using one ounce of the crystals dis
solved in one gallon of water In COM
mon pail. The young pigs should be
dipped head foremost into the solution
and kept there for brief time Re
peat this two or three times. giving
the pig time to catch its breath in the
intermission. This treatment given
every day for three or four days will
usually effect cure If the trouble is
not of long standing. In extreme
cases where ulcers and heavy scabs
have formed use two ounces Of the
permanganate to one gallon of water
and before dipping remove all the dead
and loose tissues that have been eaten
away. The sow's udder should be
bathed freely with the solution each
day.

PovaerIy PLAYING vagrant.

In expressing his approval OF tle pro-
posed New York farm colonies for va
grants. Commissioner of immigration
Powderly tells how for years he has
made it his practice when in New York
to take his place in the bread line and
talk with the men about him. In the
main he found the man thus seeking char
ity to be "a bum, slovenly. indolent,
shftless and ambitionless, on whom the
food is wasted" Says Powderly Such
men should not be fed by the hand of
charity: it is food wasted. You are only
feeding the fame that burns up manhood.
Don't feed them; let them feed themselves
on farm provided by the State. Give
each man his tasS and let each man know
that he must earn us bread"

The girl moved along the hallway IN
