A curious scene occurred recently
in a lawyers Office at Castanet, near
Toulouse, France. The lawyer was
reading the will of landowner who
recently died. in the presence Of the
relatives OF the deceased. The de-
ceased left practically his whole es-

jumped up. snatched the will from the

and, examining them into his mouth,

to disgorge the bits Of paper, which
were afterwards gummed together.

PLAGUE SPREAD BY CAMEL
Carcass Of Dead Beast Left Exposed
Caused Slight Outbreak in
Russia.

The Paris Medical publishes some
observations which throw an impor-
tant light on the cases Of plague which
occurred In Russia some time ago. As
far back as 1907 DR.. Klodnitzlhy no
ticed In the Cazarel Island, in the
Caspian Sea. q. slight outbreak OF
plague. Three women were attacked.
and he was able to establish, after
inquiry. that they had all three been
engaged in handling the carcass of a
camel which had died from some I'M
known cause. Later, in April, 1911,
plague appeared in a little place in
the district of Kamysch-Samara. Six
persons were attacked with plague,
and all had eaten of camel that had
died.
At the end of September, in the
same year, another camel in the dis
trict died, and then an autopsy was
made. There were no clear indica-
tons Of any injuries to account for
death. but in the viscera the doctor
found bacillus identical with that of
Yersin, the cultures Of which repro
duced plague In animals which were
inoculated. Toward the end of the
same month other human beings were
attacked. and the outbreak conceded
with the death of camel, and tests
with the blood produced typical
plague bacillus. DR.. Klodnitzlhy has
no doubt that the cases Of plague in
the human beings owed their origin
to eating the flesh of plague-stricken
camels. and he suggests that the cam
els in question had been eating her
bage which had become infected by
camels suffering from the disease

ground wheat, sifted ground oats or
field peas may replace the corn. Both
sows and pigs should have the run Of
alfalfa, clover, rape, oats and peas. or
other pasture. The object to be Sc
cured with the pigs, is to train them to
depend on prepared feeds to a large
extent before weaving time.
Weaving time is from six to twelve
weeks. If the sows are to be rebred
at once, the pigs should be weaned at
eight or nine weeks Of sge. If one
litter per year only is plannad. the pigs
may be allowed to run With the SOW
until twelve or fourteen weeks Of age.
After weaving, plenty Of skim-milk.
fresh pasture, and a grain rotation In
addition, are necessary for best results.
In no case viii 1t be found advisable
to expect pigs to make profitable
growth on pasture alone. At the age
of weaving, the pig should be making
very rapid and his most profitable
growth. 1t takes fifty per cent. more
feed to put a pound of gain on q 150-

weighing forty pounds. and SO per
cent. more feed for a S50-pound pig.

My observation has been. says a
writer in the Farm and Home, that
where a robber COW is found, it Is safe
to assume there has been a robbed
calf. Many are the vicissitudes Of the
average skim-milk calf. Every case
OF scours is simply Indigestion, or In
other words. training Of the stomach
and digestive organs to fail to assinj-
late food. That pail of cold or soured
germ-laden milk that was refused for
a time until hunger made It desirable
Is training the stomach still further
along the same line that made pee
wees and dogies.
Many little calves are prisoners. in
dark pens, with filthy bedding. and
with ration untitled to their growth
and ability to properly digest food.
The calf. Improperly raised. comes
back to its owner as the robber cow.
and We blame the COW rather than
ourselves. which is much more human
than humane. and more Of solacs
than Of financial gain.
