COMMON DISEASE AMONG PIGS
Thunps Is Caused by Overlooking and
Lack of Exercise-Best Plan
is to Prevent Disorder.
By W. II. UNDERwOOD)

Thumps is common disease
among pigs and is caused by over
feeding and lack of exercise. The dis
ease is easily prevented by careful
feeding and seeing that the pigs get
plenty of exercise. Unless promptly
dealt with when pigs are first seized.
the disease is pretty certain 10 harm
them seriously. In quite number of
instances they die. The most promi-
nent indication of thumps is jerky
motion at the hanks in connection
with their breathing The nerves Of
the diaphragm are affected. hence the
trouble is sometimes called spasms of
the diaphragm. In some instances
there is wheeling. The affected ami
mails soon lose thrift. and even though
they recover they arc more or less
stunted for n good long time. subse-
ouently. Medicines cannot do much of
any good for pigs affected with
thumrs The best plan IS to prevent
the disorder. and this can be done by
feeding no more than the pigs will
eat up clean. and see that they get
exercise. In winter pigs are inclined
TO remain in bed. and in such cases II
is well to compel them to exercise by
chasing them about with switch.

SECRETARY KNOX CONFIDENT.

The Secretary Of State, who returned 70
his desk to-day. expresses absolute conn
dence that President Taft will carry Ohio,
and he believes that with the impetus the
Ohio primaries will give him he will also
carry New Jersey. Mr.. Knox declares Vt
was no surprise to him that California
should have instructed its delegation sof
Mr.. Roosevelt. He made one political
speech in that state and talked with many
public men during his trip through that
state. and came away with the conviction
that nothing short Of o miracle could save
California for Mr.. Taft In Ohio, however.
Mr.. Knox made two speeches, one in TO-
ledo, the home Of Walter Brown, the boss,
who is supporting Mr. Roosevelt and who
is also the attorney for Dan Hanna, and
in Cleveland, where a considerable part of
the press is controlled by interests hostile
TO the President. In both places he talked
10 large audiences. which were both inter
ested and sympathetic, and he came away
convinced that Ohio would not turn down
her favorite son In favor Of the spectacular
and dynamic New Yorker. Mr.. Knox JiI
not attempt to account for the success OF
the ex-President in California, but con-
tented himself with saying that when he
had been in the state forty-eight hours he
felt IL in the air that Mr. Roosevelt would
win. Equally. however, he felt it in the air
that Mr.. Taft would carry Ohio, and he has
no misgivings whatever regarding the YER

rendered next Tuesday.

ing as substitute the measure drafted by

right TO present It bill of his own, which
will provide for a slight reduction in sugar
duties.
The excise tax bill was also reported adj
versely. This imposes Il tax on incomes In
eAcess Of $4,000 a year
The report on the sugar bill deals ex-
laustively with all phases Of the sugar
tariff. The committee points out how the
House measure would endangcr the beet
sugar industry, benefit tho rcfincrs. cor sugar
trust, and destroy an important source of
revenue without any apprcciable benefit IN
the consumer.
