Keen Hoqs Free From Worms,

1t is a matter of general belief that
in very many cases hog cholera Is not
hog cholera. says the Kansas Farmer.
In other words, when hogs die they are
generally said to be taken of with
cholera. when the facts are that it was
worms, and one of our Missouri read
ers states that in his neighborhood a
considerable number Of pigs and shotes
were lost. but as the old hogs did not
sicken and die they made an investiga-
ton and found that it was not cholera,
as they had supposed. but that the
hogs were suffering from worms.
There can be no doubt that intestinal
worms are the source Of very severe
losses, and. as they give rise to symp-
toms similar in some respects to those
Of cholera, the hogs that die from
S0rms are very often thought to have
contracted the cholera, when a little
care on the part of the owner in ad-
ministering worm remedies would
have saved them.

WILL HASTEN VOTE
ON THE TARIFF BILL
Members Of Senate Prepare to
AbbreViate Speeches.

Washington.-There are indications
that the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill debate may be materially shorten
ed. Republican senators are prepar-
ing their speeches in abbreviated form
and will require much less time than
at first anticipated. The Democrats
are being urged to desist from argu-
ing and to refrain from active partci-
patton in the discussion.
President Wilson has let it be known
that he would like to see the new tar
if act in operation at the earliest pos
sible date. He is pleading with SEN
ate leaders to minimize speechmaking
and hasten the bill along to the final
vote.
In the opinion Of the president every
day Of delay and unsettled conditions
is injurious to the business Of the coun-
try. The actual taking effect of the
new tariff will have a tendency to re-
move all uncertainty and permit bust
ness men to go ahead with their affairs
on the new basis.

The Golfers Wager.

A man who knows baseball. but new
er played golf. was talking to profess
sional golfer and remarked that the
latter's pet game was at best only
piddling sort of affair.
Well. said the golfer. I'll wager
you that can play around this eight
cen hole course in fewer strokes than
you can throw the ball. and you need
not bother to put it in the cups. but
throw as far as You can every time
Instantly the bet was made. and then
the baseball enthusiast began to figure.
The golfer could do the course In sew
enty-two strokes. To equal tnat the
other would have to make seventy-two
throws of an average length OF 25O
feet. the course being 5000 yards For
an ordinary man this would be an I'M

Applause and the Stage.

In the ert-Taschenbuch is an
article by Felix Weingarner on "Ap-
plause." in which the director says:
THE relation between the pnblic and
the artist rests on what is rendered by
both. The artist gives his strength.
his knowledge and the fruit of his
iife's work. The public can give moth
ing but its recognition. AS the indi.
vidual has not opportunity to speak
his approval. the logical way to show
it is by applause" The writer says
that he has never known a case where
this form of satisfaction on the part OF
an audience has failed to please. all
declarations on the part of modest
stage folk to the contrary notwith-
standing. Beethoven resented silence.
and Wagner loved applause

Worry Fills the Asylums.

An eastern alienist told the Mental
Hygiene society that if worry could be
eliminated the number of our insane
would be decreased by 40 per cent.
His assertion is corroborated by other
experts.
The diagnosis. one sees. is delightful
Iy simple, but the remedy is hard to
apply. Worry is of two sorts-that
which comes from within and that
which is imposed from without. The
nervous specialist treats the first. and
mental suggestion succeeds in GER
tain proportion of cases. AS for the
worry incident to our mad scramble to
survive the doctors we look to in that
case are the economists and the so
biologists. The problem Of the nerve
specialist is not an easy one, but it
looks almost simple when compared
with the problem Of the economists.
Both sets of doctors are making head
way. and at present we may look for
much improvement in our insanity sta
tistics. So let US not worry about
worry, but work to remove its causes.

CHOOSING BREEDING STOCK,
Some Points to Remember When Sc
Letting Cows and Bulls.

Letting Cows and Bulls.
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. The COW is a machine to con-
vert food into milk; thus she must have
large middle and a strong constitu-
ton to insure best results. She must
also have large udder, large milk
wells, large crooked milk veins and
good sized teats. Her head should be
lean and angular in appearance. with
the eyes standing out prominently. The
neck should be rather long and lean in
appearance, the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch.
In selecting herd bulls either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth as sires or younger
animals from high testing dams and
sires only should be used. The best
and surest results will always follow
the use of mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records.
A good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old-in
fact as long as he is sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age
