1t is understood that the Edwards
Co. has under consideration the project
of raising the height of the Kennebec
dam and that while it is not certain
that the work will be done during the
coming summer there is a probability
that It Will be, 1t is expected that
the amount to be expended in the con-
templated Improvement to the dam will
he in the neighborhood of $4,000. In
order to gain the desired increase in
the height of the dam a concrete wall
will be sunk i'm the top of the struc-
ture from the west end to the log-waV
at the east fend and carried to such
height as will give the dam a 30-inch
rise. This will make the dam quite a
lot narrower across the top than at
present. ana as protection against ice
the north side of the dam will be coy
cred with a shield of iron three eighths
OF an inch in thickness. which will ex-
tend 20 the top of the dam and lust
over the front edge. The timbers of
the dam were examined some time ago
and found to be solid and in good con-
dition.

COUGH IN HOGS.

An Iowa Falls hog grower sends
this pig problem to the Iowa Ag'i-
culturist at Iowa State College,
Ames:
"Seme of my small pigs have been
coughing for seVe"sl weeks and a few
of them have been off feed. l thorGtt
the trouble was worms an6 gave them
some medicine for the trouble, but do
not seem able to stop the cough. Sew
eral are getting very thin and have
not eaten anything for several days
Prof. J. NJ. Evvard of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station
gives this explanation Of the trouble,
and advice:
"In all probability your pigs have
lung worms or stomach worms. These
worms arc sometimes hard to get rid
Of. but would suggest that you try
feeding eight grains of santonin per
100 pounds Of pig, giving two morn
tngs in succession upon an empty
stomach, or in other words, after the
pigs have been tasted from twelve
to eighteen hours. Follow at the end
Of the second day with an ounce Of
epson salts per pig. Give these
medicines in thin slop.
Cough in hogs is sometimes caused
by business in the sleeping quarters
or in their runs. Turn them out on
pasture so they may have consider
able range"

Just before her death her majesty
added to the list of her papers a batch
of letters of the most private and con-
