Dlarrhoea In Little Plas.

The cause of this trouble is usually
An abrupt change of feed, either OF
the mother or of the pigs. An ex.
elusive diet of alfalfa is responsible
for come of the intestinal irritation
shown by watery green diarrhoea ap.
Fearing q few days after feeding upon
alfalfa. Most animals recover after
several days purging, but succumb
from weakness. Another source OF
the trouble is dirty, unsanitary sur.
roundings with stagnant water for
drinking purposes.
Treatment naturally should consist
of change of the conditions 30 far
as possible. A change of feed should
be given gradually, and in alfalfa
feeding little grain is indicated uh.
til the little pigs become accustomed
to the alfalfa ration.

week or ten days before farrowing

let her get accustomed to her new

makes farrowing easier. Scratching

WEED OUT GRADE STALLIONS
Effect Of Breeding From Such Stock

The education of the average far

makes slow progress. The majority
and this is not over-stating the fact
are not yet prepared to pay de-
cent price for stallion service, pre-
ferring to use scrubs because they
are cheap.

Minnesota has a law framed along
the lines of the Wisconsin measure.
Pennsylvania and Utah have adopt
ed similar laws and other states have
restrictive measures under considera-

The effect of these laws is to make
the owner of each non-registered stall

handbills that are posters SO that no
one may be deceived as to his pedi-
gree.
The situation abroad is very much
better than in this country. In fact,
practically no scrub, grade or nom
registered stations are used for pub

In the Investigations of this matter
carried on by DR.. A. S. Alexander Of
Wisconsin it was found that of all
the stations in the state, 60 per cent.
were grade stations and only 40 per
cent. pure bred.

Rome, March 23.-Engineer Fer
dinando Girardi has revived a very
interesting episode in connection
with the project of gathering at
Hardin county, Ky, a museum of
memories and memories to Abraham
Lincoln. Engineer Girardi, who is
a passionate student of the Rome
which is now passing, has recalled
that the news of the death of Abra-
ham Lincoln produced such an i'm
preston in Rome that it was decided
to express the sympathy of the Eter-
nal City in the most solemn way pos
sible.
Just at that time. near the railway
station, the Agger, or permanent for
tification, built by Seryius Tullius,
was coming to light. The Agger is
huge embankment about 12O feet
wide and 25 high, the lower courses
of the structure being gigantic blocks
of pepper-colored stone held togeth-
er by strong clamps of iron, and the
upper courses of smaller blocks of
volcanic pumice-stone.
The Romans then thought that
nothing could express their feelings
in more eloquent manner than
sending one of these blocks, with a
marble slab and inscription. to
Abraham Lincoln. The appropriate
ness of the idea was added to by the
similarity of the deaths of the two
great men, Servius Tullius and Abra-
ham Lincoln, the former also having
been murdered. The Inscription bore
/ the date of June 20, 1865.
The block was sent to Mr.. Steil-
mann, then American consul at Leg

| ish steamer Uhla, which through a
strange coincidence was commanded

were sold al auction, and the pre-.

CATCHING COLD.

The unreasonable weather now
generally prevalent throughout the
United States. with the corresponding
increase in the essential diseases Of
winter. has called attention every
where to the homely but timely sub
ject OF catching cold. This expression
instantly calls to ones mind a sue
cessiOn of phenomena beginning with
a sudden chilling of some portion
OF the body. through drafts, wet feet
or similar exposure, and ending with
the congestion of a mucuous mem
brane, commonly that OF the upper
respiratory tract.
The train of symptoms following
in the wake of this engagement will
depend partly upon the individual re-
sistance to insults of this character,
but chiefly upon the nature of the
bacterial infection practically always
coincident with the congestion.
While this latter phase Of the sub
iect is a matter of extreme interest
to the physician, the public in gem
eral is especially concerned in the
prevention of colds altogether.
Paradoxical as it may seem. sleep
ing in the open air is the greatest
known preventative of colds. This
may be explained by the fact that
the Inspiration Of cold aiI induces
a general rise of blood pressure, and
also. that a partial of complete I'M
munity is soon acquired for all Of
the common inflammatory disorders
of the nose and throat.
Fresh air, night and day. therefore
constitutes the most important eIe-
ment in the avoidance Of this annoy
ing visitor, to which may be added
the precaution of having any abnOr-
mality of the upper air passages.
