Remarkable Breed Of Banker Ponies"
Natives of the Coast Of
North Carolina.

On the coast of North Carolina there
are several miles of low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except a coarse
grass, few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banks lives a strange
breed of half-wild horses known as
banker ponies" These creatures are
generally about twice the size of Shet-
land ponies. Every year the herd
owners drive the bankers" into pens
brand the foals with the proper mark
and catch some of the older animals
to sell to the dealers.
North Carolinians say that the beasts
must be starved into eating grain, hay
or grass, for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass of the
marshes and on fish. They catch the
fish for themselves at low tide; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes in the
sand below high-water mark, and when
the tide falls they greedily devour the
fish that are stranded In these holes.
Often they fight brisky over an espe-
cially tempting morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even In
temper. Once tanned, they make ex.
cellent draft animals, for they have
strength that is disproportionate ia
their size. Foals that are bred from
bankers" in captivity make valuable
animals-strong and intelligent.

scrubbed with some reliable disinfect-
ant, such as compound solution Of
cresol GU. S. P). This disinfectant
can be procured at drug stores, and
should be diluted before use by adding
one part of it to 30 parts of soft water
Care should be used in estimating
the weight of hogs, because the amount
Of serum required depends upon the
size of the hog injected
The usual dose is commonly given
on the package in which the serum
comes. Be careful not to underesti-
mate. Overestimate rather than UNI
derestimate, and thereby be sure of
giving an ample dose of serum. After
the infectious are made, the hogs
should be turned into a clean yard,
free from mud holes and excessive
dust. The :. Il should be kept in this
Enclosure for several days az least
after the inje 1ton, to enable the pune
ture wounds zeal thoroug iy. They
should be giN = soft, easily tsgested
food.
Every farmer should keep an accu-
rate record of the injections he makes,
SO that he will know what success has
attended the treatment He should
make a record of the number of hogs
that died from hog cholera before
treatment, the number sick and the
number apparently well at the time
of treatment, and he should later keep
a record of the number of sick and
well ones that died following treat
ment. Keeping these records may en-
able him to determine whether or not
the serum he used was good, and 1t
may show whether or not the work
was properly done. If any hogs de-
velop assesses at the point Of injeo
ton, note should be made of the
fact, keeping account Of the number.
Assesses indicate that the serum was
not right or that the work was not
properly done.
Every farmer should make absolute
iy certain that no dirt or implement
is brought from an infected hog lot In
to another hog lot Hog cholera can
be carried in dirt on shoes, on wagon
wheels, or on the feet of dogs. It has
been proved that pen of hogs in
fected with hog cholera can be kept
within 10 feet of a well herd without
communicating the disease, provided
no dirt or implement or other object
is moved from the former to the lat
ter pen. If. however, the pen with the
uninfected hogs should be cleaned
with a hoe or shovel that has been
used in the infected pen, the we'll
herd would be almost certain to get
the disease. Dogs, crows, and buzz
Yards can transport particles of flesh
from dead hogs and thus carry the
disease.

Rabv Cut OFF 200 Phones.

The birth of a baby in the home of
Matteo Gionotti of Merlonville, N. j..
cut off all telephone service in that
section for the greater part of the
day, to the rage of 200 subscribers.
The boy arrived at the Gionotd
home shortly after midnight There
was nobody around to help Matteo
celebrate. so he grabbed his shotgun
and proceeded to blow holes in the
atmosphere.
Mr.. Newton, the phone company's
wire chief, discovered the lines were
useless when he came to work early
In the morning. He searched until
late in the afternoon. Then, opposite
Gionottis place, he found the broken
wires hanging loose from the pole,
with about a pound OF shot In the
cross-arm. Gionotti told all about It.
Newton started to swear, changed his
mind, grinned. said Hope the kids

Flowers and Politics.

The election for members of the
French chamber of deputies is over.
The campaign in one district brought
forward a poetic theme. This was in
the great flower-growing district of
Cannes-Grass. In the polemic out
break of the opposing candidates were
heard the words "neroli" and petit
grain" Neroli is the commercial des-
ignation of orange flower. 1t is a SOU
venir of the Princess Neroli and the
name was chosen by the producers of
the department of the Maritime Alps,
for to the princess was credited the
establishing of the perfume industry
which has since had such a remark
able development in that region. Ne
roll is often sophisticated by the add
ton of other essences. One of these
is called "petit-grain," which is not
of the flower, but of the leaf and fruit
of the orange. This is why the two
candidates shouted in the midst of
the melee the cries "Nerolii" and
'petit-grainl "-incompr to a
stranger-as we're once shouted the
battle cries "Montjoyel" and Saint
Denisi"

COURAGE OF A HIGH ORDER
Officers and Privates of Regular Army
Risk Almost Certain Death In
Search for Comrade.

A story of daring feats in mountain
climbing by two officers and two en-
listed men of the First and Second
regiments of infantry of the Hawaiian
brigade who sought In vain to learn
the fate of a private who wandered
into "Hell's Pocket" in the Koolan
mountains, Hawaii, has reached Wash
ington In report of communication
from their commanding officer, Brig
Gen. Clarence r.. Edwards, u. S. A.
The exploits of the mountain climb
ers are described In the officers report
as the most perilous ever recorded.
They surmounted cliffs that are al
most inaccessible, dangled thousands
of feet In midair as they were lowered
down the sides of precipices and
trailed lodges where a misstep meant
instant death.
The officers commended are Second
Lieutenant Thomas j. Camp. Second
infantry, and Second Lieutenant M. F.
Nichols, G. A. c. The enlisted men
are Corporal Farmer and Private Mid
kiff of the Second infantry.
The detachment, with 1000 feet of
small rope, took six hours of hard
climbing to reach the crest of the
range, which is described as virtually
a knife edge with sheer cliffs on either
side.
Private Midkifr, a Kentucky noun
taineer, was the first to volunteer to
go down on the other side of the preci-
pice, where the officers believed the

the work of the detachment said
Private Midkiff was swung over the
cliff by a rope the size of middle
finger, followed by Lieut. Camp. Later
Lieut.. Nichols followed, and then Cor
poral Farmer. These men for three
days prosecuted the search in howl
ing wind and gale, in driving rain and
enshrouding mists, on Lodges of rotten
stone and vegetation, endangered by
fallen boulders and rocks. A slight
slip when not tied with rope meant
death.
They were swung down to vertical
pocket after pocket averaging about
fifty feet. These men knew that it was
impossible that the man unaccountec
for would be alive, and therefore we
have the fine picture of these young
officers putting their lives in jeopardy
several times to rescue the body of 6
private, the kind of work that empha
sizes the interest taken by the office
in the soldier"
Gen. Edwards also gives particular
praise to the work done by Private
Midkiff and Corporal Farmer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
At recent conference of federal
and state officials in charge of hog
cholera work the methods of applying
the cholera serum in practise were
considered. There are two methods.
In one the serum alone is used, pro-
ducing immunity lasting from 80 to 80
days; in the other the virus of hog
cholera and the serum are injected
simultaneously-tha is, virus at one
point and serum at another. This lat
ter is known as the simultaneous
bethod" and will produce active or
listing immunity. If the serum used
d this simultaneous treatment is not
good, or if the mode of application is
faulty, disease may be set up in the
treated herd For this reason it was
the general consensus Of opinion at
the conference that the simultaneous
method should be used only by those
who have had special training, and it
was agreed that the ideal arrangement
would be to allow its use only by fed
,ral and state veterinary officers.
Inc SeTuu-dlOut llCdlluchl, Ou bhC
ther hand, may be given by anyone
without danger of causing hog cholera.
If the serum is good the farmer may
give it to his hogs without fear, pro-
vided it is administered in the proper
way. While it would no doubt be
best to have even the serum alone al
ways administered by skilled agent,
farmers may obtain good results If
proper care is used. The farmer
should remember that the serum-alone
treatment is very different from the
simultaneous treatment. The follow
ing advice regarding the use of serum
is offered for farmers who cannot OBJ
tain the services of skilled agent:
All serum cannot be depended upon
and farmers are cautioned against put
ting implicit confidence in a serum
merely because it is labeled "Anti-Hog-
| Cholera" The serum must be pre-
pared right in order to protect hogs.
Farmers should use every effort to get
good reliable serum from the state
college or from a reliable dealer.
Anti-hog- cholera serum is most effec-
tive when used as a preventive. II

Famous American Roads.

Something over 200 years ago there
was built the first great American
highway, the old York road" be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
The construction of this famous road
in I'LL was an example that led the
colonists at other points along the At
lantic seaboard to make similar roads
where there were no water routes.
For the most part these roads were
built by chartered companies, and
were called turnpikes or toll roads.
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New
Jersey had many roads of this kind.
The first macadamized road in this
country was constructed In 1892 be-
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster. In
1911 there were said to be 4.500 miles
OF chartered turnpikes in New Eng
land and New York. During the next
20 years the government expended
many millions of dollars in construct
ing great highways, but the panic OF
1887 and the building of highways
and canals put an end to that branch
of the government work.

The glass should be allowed to cool
before the serum is poured into 1t, and
should be always covered except when
serum is being taken from it.
The serum is injected directly into
the tissues on the inner side of the
thigh or, better, into the loose tissues
between the foreleg and the body. The
needle is inserted into the skin per
pendicularly to a depth of from one
half to inch, depending upon the size

One Of the most curious inhabitants
Of the insect world is what Is known
as the stick insect. about which Pro
fessor Schmidt Of the Imperial uni
versity of st. Petersburg has been
making some strange discoveries.
This queer insect remains In G quiet
state during the hours Of daylight.
Until now it has always been supposed
that this was slumber. but Professor
Schmidt says 1t is really state Of
catalepsy, or trance. which the insect
has developed as means OF protec-
ton against its enemies.
When In one Of these frances the In
sects viii remain for hours In most
abnormal positions standing on their
heads, fat on their backs or with
their legs extended high in the air
and the body arched in the form OF a
bow. Only some prolonged excitement
of the nervous system viii rouse them
from this rigid cataieptic state. but
when the trance Is over they show no
signs whatever Of muscular fatigue.
The stick insect passes all its days
in a trance and feeds at night on the
foliage OF plants where 1t lives.-Ex-
