ton, and higher organization, which
has led to a crisis in our industrial
affairs has been ushered in, and
the business enterprise, which, in
some form or another. has not

ing alone still lacks cooperation and
is conducted on the same plane as
it was thirty or forty years ago. AS
a consequence the farmer does not
get so much out of his labor and

returns as he otherwise might OBJ
tain, and this state of affairs must
continue until the cooperative spirit

Hawaiian Music.

1t is not an unusual thing for the
writer of a book or a play to visit
the country in which he desires to
locate the plot of his work, but for
two song writers to do in order to
be able to write a song true to ma
ture is going some. For this reason
Percy Wenrich and Edward Mad
den, the writer's of Rainbow" and
Silver Bell" published by Jerome
H. Remick & Co., spent two weeks
in Honolulu getting the atmosphere
and color for their new Hawaiian
song My Hula Hula Love. That
they will be amply repaid for the
time, trouble and expense incurred
is already assured, for the song at
once became a phenomenal success
in New York, Chicago and Boston,
where it has been introduced by
some Of the big vaudeville stars.
The music is wonderfully sweet and
catchy, and Mr.. Wenrich claims
that it is similar in some of its
measures to Hawaiian music. Since
Hawaii has become one of the pos
sessions of the United States, very
little of its music has been heard
here, but Messrs. Madden and Wen
rich have made collection of the
music and legends of that wonder
full country and intend to embody
it in a new comic opera shortly to
be produced in New York by a syn.
dictate. The chorus of My Hula
Hula Love embodies a few words
of language of the Hawaiians
which adds to its novelty and at

The country fair is a useful in
stitution and builder of prosperity
and every fair should have the
earnest support of farmers and all
of the city people within reach.
There is nothing more important
than for men and women to see the
work of others, feel the enthusiasm
of friendly competition and gather
knowledge from those working
along the same line. The country
fair year after improves the work
the farmers do and that is the most
important productive work done in
this world. The fair brings the
work Of the country together and
forms the one grand carryall in
which every human being from
children to old age can get togeth-
er on a common level and find
something of particular interest

Democracy.

Lee Francis Lybarger Miffiinburg
Pa: Here is a definition of democ-
racy that is certainly worthy of a
place in The COmmoner. | found
it in an old scrap book and asked
permission to copy it off for you:
What is democracy? Sixty years
ago at a banquet, Senator William
Allen, of Ohio, answered the ques-
ton in the following language;
Democracy is a sentiment not to be
appalled,, corrupted, or cOmpromiS-
ed. 1t knows no baseness, it covers
at no dangers, it opposes no weak
ness. Fearless, generous, and
human, it rebukeS the arrogant,
cherishes honor, and sympathises
with the humble. Destructive only
of deSpotism, it is the sole Conservi-
tor of liberty, labor, and property
1t is the sentiment of freedom
equal rights, and equal obligations
The stupid, the selfish, and the
base. in spirit may denounce it as a
vulgar thing, in the history of OuI
race the democratic spirit has de-
veloped and illustrated the highest
moral and intellectual attributes Of
our nature"

health and seemingly unerring
vision of the right The Commonel

body of Congress hasn't the ability
to revise the tariff and this must be
done scientifically" This is a slam
on Congress, that it cannot inyestl-

for the last forty years. Mr.. Taft
may not be qualified to appoint a

Wabash Made Defendant.

Clark Ferguson through his at
torneys, Doyle & Jeffries, yesterday
filed suit in the circuit court in this
city, against the Wabash railroad
for $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Ferguson was employed by
the Wabash last Spring and on
April 18th, he alleges, while he was
under an engine, and after he has
given instructions to the engineer
to keep the train at a standstill, the
engine began moving and ran over
his foot. It was found necessary to
amuputate his limb between the
ankle and knee.
Because of the nature of his in
jury which, as he claims makes him
a cripple for life, Mr. Ferguson asks
for $4,000 and the costs of the
suit.

Care of a Cholera Herd.
rom Wallaces Farmer:

occurs on a farm, the nero Sn0ulQ
be quarantined and all possible pre-
cautions taken against the spread
of the infection in the neighborhood
The separation of the herd into
small punches of about dozen an
finals is sometimes practiced. This
is not advisable, as the work of car
ing for the animals is greatly in
creased and the infection scattered
over wide area, propOrtionately
increasing the opportunity for in
teCting neighboring farms.
If the houses and yards are well
arranged and can be cleaned and
disinfected, it is not advisable to
move the animals but if the quar-
tiers are old and more or less tum-
bled down, and the yards Uttered
with corn Cobs, manure piles, straw
stacks, etc. it is advisable to pro-
vide better quarters. Such yards
should be we'll drained. During the
warm months of the year, plenty of
range and protection from the sun
and rain are necessary. A recent
ly moved meadow or a blue grass
pasture, and a low shed open on all
sides and amply large for the herd
to lie under, give the animals a
clean range and comfortable, cool
quarters. Roomy, dry, we'll venti-
lated sleeping quarters and yards
that have good surface drainage are
best when the weather is cool and
wet. In most outbreaks it is advis-
able to separate the sick from the
well hogs. Early in the outbreak
and in the sub-acute form this is
practical
A very light ration consisting of
a thin slop of shorts or other ground
feed should be fed Powdered cop
per sulphate may be given in the
feed and drinking water. For con-
venience of mixing with the feed
eight ounces of powdered drug may
be dissolved in one gallon of warm
water and one pint Of the solution
added to each ten gallons of slop
and water fed. This method of
feeding should be used as soon as
symptoms of disease are noticed
and continued for a time after re-
covery. The entire herd should be
dieted and made to clean up their
feed quickly. Water and Slop
should not be left in the troughs,
for the hogs to wallOW in, and the
troughs should be disinfected and
turned bottom side up as soon as
| hogs have finished feeding and
drinking.
| A disinfectant should be sprayed
or sprinkled about the feed troughs,
floors, sleeping quarters. ETC., daily.
The care and treatment of the
: herd require work and close atten-
| ton to details on the part of the at
tendant. Indifferent, careless treat
less treatment is of no use in this
disease.
Our experience with hog cholera
: has shown us that the most sue
cessful line of treatment consists
l of good care, a light diet and the
= liberal use of disinfectants; that
treatment should be used early in
the outbreak and continued for sew
eral weeks; that the sub-acute form
of the disease responds to this
treatment: that it is of little use to
attempt treatment of badly infected
herds.
