PREVENT DISEASE IN SWINE
Every Hog Showing Symptoms of III- ness Should Immediately Be Put
 In Separate Pen:
By R. c. wEArHERsroNE.)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
 If you notice a sick hog in your l1t- ter 1t should be at once separated from the others and if 1t does not re- cover quickly or If 1t should die with in day or two a thorough examina- tion by competent veterinary should be had.
 If this examination shows the traces of cholera or swine plague the hogs should be divided up into as many small punches as possible.
 Every sick animal must be imme- diately taken out and put in the same enclosure some distance away. It is not a good plan, however, to turn the well hogs out to run all over the farm as they may scatter the germs of the disease and in this way cause great loss.
 The hog houses should all be kept near each other so they may be easily sprayed and kept clean.
 If the sound hogs are taken away from the sick ones they should be put into temporary quarters and the area over which the hogs are to be kept should be as small as possible.
 Stop feeding corn, giving the hogs a mixture of shorts, bran and little oil meal and dissolve a little copper sulphate, say about three ounces to barrel in the drinking water AS soon as a hog dies the body should be burned, not buried. Cholera and swine plague have been scattered far and wide by burying dead hogs or other animals. It is not difficult to burn hog. Build a good-sized pile of wood that will make a hot fire and after 1t Is well started place the body of the hog on top. The fat in the body will add to the flames and in a short time it will all be consumed.
 The important thing is to notify the state veterinary at the agricultural college station at once, then follow i'm plicitely the instructions received. He will probably tell you to disinfect the hog houses and the yards and fences and the grounds around them and to keep on doing so for several months.
 It is not safe to discontinue the dis infectants as soon as the deaths in the herd cease because the germs of cholera particularly often exist for several months, and unless they are entirely destroyed the trouble will cer- tainly return.

WANTS TO MARRY FOR LOVE

Col Edward H. R. Green, president of the Westinghouse company, with assets of s125, 100000. owner of the Texas Midland railroad and son of Mrs. Hetty Green, is going to marry within year. Who the bride-to-be is he doesn't know, but he says in all se- riousness that his bachelorhood will end before he Is a year older. Here is the secret of why Col Green, who is 43 years old, has so long lived the life of single blessedness. He prom ised his mother 19 years ago, when she took him down to Texas to break him in' as a railroad section hand, that he would remain a bachelor 20 years. He has kept his word, but when the time limit expires next year he is going to take unto himself a wife.
 Three hundred proposals of mar riage have reached Col Green since he decided to live in New York a year ago to take charge of his moth CTS interests. Scores of the aspir-

LONG DISTANCE SKY PILOT

Rapidly as the public is becoming accustomed to aeroplane novelties. 1t received fresh cause for wonder and enthusiasm in the achievement of Harry N. Atwood. When he landed in Chicago on the first lap of his St. Louis-to-Boston trip he broke the American record for days flight and demonstrated the remarkable ef- ficiency which has been reached in aeroplane construction. Express trains travel between Chicago and St. Louis in hours; Atwood's time in the air was hours and 30 minutes. When he reached Albany, N T., At wood had flown I,123 miles. breaking all cross-country flights.

Tomato Plants-

After the tomato plants commence to bud and bloom. never disturb them. Do not cultivate closer than 10 inches from the plant on either side. for if many roots are broken. 1t will die. Go over the vines every few days and pick on the ripe tomatoes. as this in- creases the vitality of the plant It gives the vine a new lease on life and especially helps the tomatoes which are just setting.

Value of Cleanliness.

Teeth kept clean mean small den lists bills, and little time wasted in toothache. Hair kept clean means that no time be wasted for the pre- vention of badness later on. Skin kept clean means no Ioss of time in illness. In fact. 1t is hard to say in what department of life cleanliness does not save time.

RECTOR WHO SCORED ASTOR

Society has been forced to sit up and take notice of the denunciation which has been hurled by Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, rector Of St. Johns Episcopal church in Philadel- phia, against the proposed marriage of John Jacob Astor. a multi-millionaire, aged AT, to Miss Madeline Talmage Force, beauty aged IS years.
 The denunciation which was made from the pulpit has been followed by more sharp criticisms-a criticism which has extended to others of the smart set who marry and divorce with the ease and nonchalance with which they put on their coats.
 Mir. Astor, it may be recalled, was divorced from his wife, who was Miss Willing, of Philadelphia, and it Is because this divorce Is to be fol lowed by remarriage that Rev. MT. Richmond is aroused to the fighting point.
