iments which confirm the contention
of DR.. Milton J. Roseneau of the Har-

paralysis Is communicated by the
stable fly.
At the International Congress OF

Gently Dr. Rosenau described his ex-
periments. He infected several mon
keys with infantile paralysis. and ex-
posed them daily from the time of in
oculation till death to the bites of sew

Twelve other monkeys were then
exposed to the bites of these flies. At
the time that DR.. Rosenau made his
announcement six of the twelve had
developed symptoms characteristic of
infantile paralysis. or the six, two

recovered. In the cord of one of the
monkeys were found the characteris-

Fatalities from horse-drawn vehicles
have SO long been a matter of course
that they have attracted less attention
than fatalities caused by automobiles,
although until recently the number of
the former has greatly exceeded the
latter. In New York city thus far this
year the fatalities recorded are 1873,
year the deaths caused by wagons
number III. Last year, in the same
month, wagons caused the death of
Ill persons, while automobiles kill
ed only 70. II will thus be seen that
the fatalities caused by automobiles
in New York city have increased near
ly 100 per cent, while the number
chargeable to wagons was nearly sta
tionary. These, however, are the fig
ures for densely populated city, and
it is altogether probable that If the
figures could be compiled for the en-
tire country they would show that ac-
cidents to horse-drawn vehicles still
outnumber those to automobiles, as
was ascertained to be the case in Eng
land last year.

PROPER CARE OF
ALL YOUNG PIGS
Successful Hog Raiser Is Pres
emit at narrowing Time to
Prevent Accidents.

Take care of the young pigs. Give
them close attention from the time
they are farrowed until they are large
enough to take care of themselves.
Personal attention to ones pigs, says
T. r. H. Wright, assistant in animal
i1usbandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college, is the most important essen
tial in successful hog raising.
The man who cares for and feeds the
SOW should be with the SOW at the
time of narrowing. After narrowing
about one-half of the litter, the SOW
will very often get up, turn over and
kill about half the pigs already far
rowed. So the only safe way Is to be
in the shed and remove the young
pigs as fast as they are narrowed.
See that the pigs are dried properly
and put them in a covered Dox llheo
with burlap. If the weather is cold
put a jug Of hot water or few hot
bricks in the center of the box to keep
the pigs warm. The jug or bricks
should be wrapped to keep the young
pigs from being burned.
Reduce the feed of the SOW for
short time before narrowing and give
her a thin slop for the first two or
three feeds after narrowing. increase

yYOMEN, especially young girls, are

addicted to intoxicating liquor in the
national capital, while the men are
rapidly growing more abstemious, &C

sation has aroused women generally
here, and it is a subject of ag1tateo
discussion.
Mr.. Shoemaker made his charge be-
fore the Women's Christian Temper
ance union, attributing the increasing
thirst among women to the heavy COM
petition among proprietors of hand
somely furnished cafes and their will
ingness to take chance" in per-
hitting women and young girls to
drink.
