OF the proposals OF the British COM

years peace Is to purchase Sulgrave
Manor, the ancestral home of the
Washington family, and to maintain
it in suitable condition.
1t seems that the committe OF wo-
men who hold the Washington home
OF Mount Vernon in trust have for,
some time been anxious to restore
the paving of the portico with stone
from the same quarry from which the
paving stone originally came.
An examination of some records of
George Washington's letters to his
agents had shown that the stone was
from Whitehaven, in Cumberland.
He had selected this stone from three
samples sent on approval Cone OF
which was Irish marble). He chose
one and instructed his agent to select
the whitest of the stone.
1t will, therefore. be possible for the
tico with stone from the original quar-
ry, but a writer in the Times suggests
that the question Of where George
Washingtons immediate ancestors
came from may now well be reopened.

the prior generations did own Sulgrave

HOG BREEDERS MEET.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Mulefoot Hog Record AS
ISOLATION held in Columbus, Ohio,
John I'll. Dunlap, of Williamsport,
Ohio, was elected president; Prof.
G. w. Burkett, of New York, was
elected vice president, and Hugh

Applicants for membership are
coming in from all over the United
States to the Association, and the
future seems very bright for this AS
ISOLATION, whose management is com
posed of men of experience and
ability.
Mr.. Dunlap is the largest breeder
of these hogs, and has spent great
deal of time and money bringing them
before the people through the farm
press, and by exhibiting them at the
State fairs.

dried lung worm eggs had evidently
lived over eight dry seasons and had
then Matched in the ninth season,
which was wet, to cause trouble again
to the hogs.
Veterinarians do not know as much
as they should about lung worms, but
they are quite sure that they breed in
low, wet places, and that they get into
the lungs by being taken in with in
fected water or food. 1t is also be-
lieved that lung worm eggs coughed
up by infected hogs may dry and,
being mixed with the dust, float
around in the air and be breathed in
by the hogs.
To prevent lung worms, the hog
houses and lots should be kept as dry
and clean as possible. 1t will help
greatly to disinfect them every two
or three weeks with a coal tar dip
solution. In the pastures the mud
holes should be filled in and care
taken that the hogs get only pure
water to drink.
1t is difficult to cure hogs infected
with lung worms. The following
treatment is recommended by Dr.
Peters of the Illinois board of live
stock commissioners, as the best:
Mix one ounce of coal tar creosote
with 80 ounces (6.2 pints) of water.
Of this solution two tablespoons is
sufficient for full grown animal. 1t
should be given mixed with a thin
slop in the morning feed, and repeat
ed every other day for two or three
times. Turpentine, gasoline and
kerosene are also used in similar
manner with fair success. The theory
of all these medicines seems to be
that they vaporize readily in the
animal body and in this way reach
the lungs and cause the worm to
loosen their hold, after which they
are coughed out. Wallace's Farmer.

Live Stock
LUNG WORMS In HOGS.

Lung worms are the most dangerous
parasites attacking hogs. Whenever
hogs cough, lung worms should be
suspected, but in order to be sure
that lung worms are causing the
trouble you must find the worms in
the mucus coughed up by the hogs
Lung worm infested hogs cough up a
thick, sticky mucus which is often
streaked with blood and in which the
lung worms are found. Lung worms
seem to cause the most trouble in the
spring and fall of wet seasons,
especially In young pigs.s
How long after hogs infected with
lung worms are removed from the
premises will it be safe to bring on
other hogs? No one can say definite
ly, but experience indicates that they
may live over for several years. One
veterinarian records a case where the

BREEDING HOGS SCARCE.

Berkshire breeders in particular
and other swine breeders in general
have no grounds for complaining of
lethargic demand for their surplus
stock. We doubt whether this country
ever before has experienced so active
a demand as it now is experiencing
for pure bred swine for breeding pur-
poses.
In letters from and conversations
with Berkshire breeders it is made
emphatic that they are sold out, or
down to the quick, as it we're, and
cannot I'LL the orders that are being
received for bears and sows. There
will of course be slight change in
the situation after the spring crop of
pigs becomes available, but unt til that
time thousands Of farmers wishing to
buy pure breds with which to
strengthen or found herds will be
compelled to wait.
Nothing that is inexplicabe presents
itself to the student of the present
status of the pedigreed swine industry
in this country. We foretold for
months that we we're in for a period
of acute shortage of breeding swine I;
that cholera the past two years had
wiped out large percentage of our
hog population; that consequent high
prices had induced farmers and breed
ers to sell practically every hog that
was marketable; that the shortage of
beef and mutton had forced our in
dustrial people to buy pork as their
most logical choice of the three meats.
What has occurred is in no way sur
prising; it is the inevitable effect of
patent causes.
Disease has played havoc with the
swine industry, but it has been almost

equally devastating before. Breeders
have had much experience with it;
they know that it is a serious foe to
success, but they also know that they
can go through it and practically re-
cover their losses Farmers will
never cease to raise hogs in the corn
belt, no matter what disease may do
to their herds. They will restock and
try it again. That is precisely what
is being slowly undertaken now.
Farmers are building up new herds
or planning to increase their old, de-
creased herds.
1t will require probably two years
of normal multiplying with all the
breeding swine available to restore
the population of hogs to point at
which any marked effect is likely to
occur in the present range of values
for market hogs. And this means
