HoG-DIPPING PRACTICES.

Pacific Rural Press: The question
Of how to get rid Of lice and vermin OH
hogs is one which is being given more
thought as the hog industry grows on
4 sOundcr footing.
The main reason for this is thIt

dam. An opening was left i'll the center
with wooden gate to close or open as
one sees ft With this arrangement
the water is backed up and makes a
fine wallow which can be cleaned out
by simply opening tlle gate and LETTING
the water run through. The chief thing
can easily be cleaned ont and so sitIi-
aled that a fresh supply of water is
available at any time. Another point

The next easiest thing for the far

A great many schemes may be used
With this burlap, some preferring 10

post and rub it with his body, thereby
thoroughly rubbing the oil into his
hide. Another plan with the burlaD
and oil is to cut an opening in the
fence between two fields and hang 4
piece of burlap over it like a curtail l.
With this arrangement, every time a
hog goes through the fence opening the
burlap soaked with oil rubs over his
back. While all of these hurlap
schemes are helpful. most people find
tlat the drawback to them is that the
oil does not get worked into the
creases near the legs, etc 1t is for
this reason that regular cement dippin ?

compliment for Mai. Gorgas to be invited
to 60 to South Africa to look after the
sanitation of the Rand. This reform is
undertaken none too soon. for one Of the
principal grievances Of the miners which
led to the recent great strike has been
the unhealthy conditions under which

pay, they contend, is inadequate In view
Of the high cost of living in South At

AMERICAN MANNERS.
English Critic Says We Do Not
Know How to Sit Up.
From the St. Louis Times

From the st. Louis Times.
A British critic Of American manners
has declared that men in the United
States do not even know 'how to sit
up"
We do not know whether this indict-
ment is meant literally or otherwise. II
may be meant to symbolic manners
generally: or 1t may mean nothing more
than 1t says.
In the rural idioms Of the nation, the
man who "sits up is the man who pays
court to the girl of his choice. John
is sitting up with Mary is the phrase
used by the neighbors. when they mean
to convey the fact that q wedding is
likely to occur before long.
In this sense the American appears tc
be able to hold his own. Our marriage
license clerks are about as busy as they
ever were, and we do not find that matri-
mony is becoming less in vogue in Amert-
ca than In England.
AS for the literal significance Of the
term, "sitting up" it may be pleaded
in extenuation that Americans have al
ways been too busy to study the art OF
sitting up. They have been concerned
chiefly with the science of getting about
And in this department OF human con-
duct they have always given pretty
fair account OF themselves, even when
matched with Englishmen
