CanitaI Society Girls Abandon Sports for Art

A GROUP of Washington society
n girls have forsaken outdoor sports
for the fine arts. In previous years
most of the members Of the smart SET
could be found almost any morning
taking beauty ride" in the parks
or on the speedway.
Three mornings each week the
daughters of cabinet ministers, sol
diers and diplomats may be found

The embryo artists do not seem to
get any special attention from their
professor just because they happen
to be daughters Of notables.
When Professor Messer was asked
what progress the members Of his
class were making he replied that
they were all showing some talent,
although he did not seem to realize
that there was anything unusual In
the late additions to his class role.

1t is very necessary that we recog-
nize hog cholera and swine plague in
the very early stages In order to pre-
vent them from spreading. In some
outbreaks the symptoms are not
typical and we cannot diagnose the
disease by the symptoms alone. In
such cases we should destroy SICK
hog and make a careful post-mortem
examination.
If the disease proves to be hog
cholera or swine plague, and 1t is
practical under the conditions, the
herd should be divided into small
punches. The sick animals should be
separated from the well ones and all
possible precautions taken against
the spread of the disease.
Do not move the hogs to different
parts of the farm, nor scatter the dis
ease over the farm. If the yards and
hog houses are in such a condition
that they cannot be properly cleaned
and disinfected we should move the
herd to some convenient place and
build temporary quarters.
When the weather is warm the only
protection needed is shade. In cold
weather It Is necessary to provide
quarters warm enough to prevent the
hogs from piling up and catching cold
Portable hog houses are very useful
Cor this purpose.
The yards, feeding floors, troughs
and hog houses must be kept clean.

the germs may live for five months.
All litter about the yards must be
burned or removed to a place where
the hogs cannot come in contact with
1t.
Whitewash and disinfectants must
be used freely about the hog house
and yards. If the cleaning and disin-
fecting Is carefully done we may be
able to stock up again within few
weeks after the hogs have stopped
dying and suffer no further loss, but it
is usually best to wait two or three
months before we do this, or depend
on the hogs that have survived for a
fresh start.
Where 1t Is practical we should
move the hogs to some other part of
the farm and build new and better
yards.

A good feed for both SOW and pigs
is a mixture of corn, shorts, oil meal

that is best for one SOW and her lit

DISFIGURING The LANDSCAPE.
An agricultural paper makes Q
strong protest against the too COM
mon practice in the rural districts Of
"disflguring fences, barns and other
buildings, trees, ETC., with glaring
signs" There might have been in
cluded in the list of great sprawling
billboards which are to be seen along
railways and highways at frequent in
tervals, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. A large amount of pictur-
esque scenery is Marred in this way.
Nothing is sacred to the enterprising
advertiser who is interested in keep
ing his wares before the public eye.
1t requires the consent Of the prop
erty owners to disfigure buildings and
beautiful landscapes in this way, but
as some farmers and landowners find
It to be a source of some small rev.
enue, they are more than willing to
permit the advertiser to work his will
in such matters. But the farmer gets
very little money out of the transac-
ton, and only succeeds in detracting
from the appearance Of his property.
There are many farmers who do not
realize that there is a money value to
them in keeping their farms and build
ings in good order. A good beginning
In that direction is by keeping the
premises clear of things which are
likely to be distasteful to passersby.
