The More Kinks There Are, the

Purposes.

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
TOPEKA, Kansas, Aug. 12.-The
Kansas AGRICULTURAL college has sent
here for carload of long tailed, lean
lanky hogs. Fat porlsers are barred.
The entire worth of the hogs depends
upon the length of the tail of each
pig.
The college uses the blood of dis
eased hogs to secure anti-cholera
serum. This blood is drawn from the
hogs tail. When the end OF the ap-
pendage has given up the serum, 1t is
bandaged up and the hog permitted to
manufacture more serum whereupon
the tail is cut again. When the tail Is
gone, the hogs usefulness is gone, SO
he is killed and his blood injected in
to another long tailed porker. A hoe
with three kinks in his tail is worth
$40; one with two kinks is worth
s15 A pig that would be worth s10f
for breeding purposes would be nc
good for the college, because the tai

however, is distinctly weaker as the
result of sinking spells which have
caused his physicians much apprehen

heart. While the vital organs have
responded, the frequent use of stimu
lants has sapped the pope's strength.

Moves of the N. Y. Central lines to-

mands to the officials of the line in
New York City before taking strike
vote. Nearly all the shopmen and
telegraphers, whose contracts ex-

notified the management of the New
York Central lines that the unions
will insist on being treated as a con-
federation, instead of individual
unions. They demand that their con-

similar to those made by employees of
the Southern and Union Pacific,
which shortly must be answered by

make simultaneous demands under
