ment Of agriculture. Swine are AFFECT
ed by many serious diseases and par
asites. tuberculosis. cholera, lice and
mango attack vast numbers Of hogs
and cause a consequent heavy loss to
swine growers annually.
Thumps cause great loss in thrift In
young pigs. Sunlight, dry. clean beds
and plenty Of exercise with nutritious
foods are essential to a proper control
or lessening of these losses. Dusty or
damp sleeping quarters are especially
favorable to disease infection, because
they furnish a favorable place for
germ life. Dipping furnishes an ex-
cellent means Of controlling external
parasites, and the dipping vat is an
economical and convenient part OF the
equipment OF any large piggery. Gal

and, though the actual loss due to this
cause cannot be estimated because 1t
rarely kills an animal, its annoyance
to the pig Is an important factor In
decreasing the rapidity with which
gains are made. The louise Is easily
and effectively controlled by repeated
dipping in almost any OF the standard
dips. II they are used in strong solu-
lions.
II a vat is not available one Of the
three following methods Of treatment
may be found to suit conditions: On
Spraying with kerosene; (2) putting

BUY BEST BREEDING ANIMALS
Among Herd Young Boar Should
Be Placed In Quarantine.

How can I get a pure-bred young
boar for my herd and be sure that he
is not going to introduce cholera
among the animals?" asks a typical
progressive farmer OF the veterinary
department OF the agricultural col
lege University OF Wisconsin.
There are Just two methods to fol-
low in introducing new stock into the
herd, answers one Of the veterinar-
ians who has made a special study OF
hog cholera. These are the safe
guards which he recommends:
1. Quarantine the animal for three
weeks. keeping him at a considerable
distance from the rest OF the herd
Watch him closely for any OF the
symptoms Of cholera.
2. II the animal must be used AZ
once, give him large dose OF cholera
serum. II his temperature remains
normal, this is sufficient evidence that
he may be used with a reasonable de-
gree OF safety.

SOW must possess depth and length Of
body, good heart girth. smooth
shoulders, well-sprung ribs and long.
deep, well-turned hams. Her sides
should be long. deep and straight.
A slightly arched, or straight. broad
back is much desired. as it is much
stronger than a low back. The back
should carry its width and the side
lines should be straight. She should
stand well up on her toes and have
smooth, straight joints with hard but
not coarse bone, and must have femi-
nine characteristics, which are fndi-
Gated by a rather small head and ear.

sence Of shields In the shoulders.
A brood SOW should show early ma
turing qualities and have sufficient
capacity to do the work for which
she Is intended. A smooth coat Of fine
hair and a broad head with sufficient
weight for her age are good indica-
lions of early maturity. II selecting
more than one SOW, uniformity OF the
lot is desirable and important.
The nearer alike the sows the more
probability Of the pigs being uniform.
II pure-bred sows are selected. breed
type should be carefully observed.
Breed type" means the Characters
tics Of a breed. and will be discussed
later.
In selecting the herd boar the same
points are essential, except that the
animal should show masculinity. A
strong, broad head and neck, sufficient
bone, with strong. straight pasterns,
hook and knee joints are important.
He should show early maturing char
| acteristics and have well-developed
testicles. Shields, or thick plates of
skin, should not show on the sides of
the shoulder before he is one year OF
| age.
A strong. slightly arched back. with
large heart girth, Is essential IN a
first-class boar, for he must have room

A BETTER REMEDY
 THAN NASTY SALTS

Few people like to take physic, es pecially salts, because they are so disagreeable to take and because of the griping and pains they cause. Rexall Orderlies enable you to take less physic. and all without griping, pursing or excessive looseness. Salts and harsh physics usually give only temporary relief and often leave the bowels worse off than before.
 Rexall Orderlies move the bowels promptly and soothe, tone and strengthen the intestinal muscles, leaving them healthy and regular in action. They taste like candy, and the movement they cause is as easy and natural as though your bowels were in perfect health and you never had to take any physic at all. We have so much faith in Rexall Order lies that we urge you to try them with the understanding that, if they do not satisfy you in every way, all you have to do to get your money back is to tell us.

Iation might be at fault and that Car ranza's Spanish really meant put to this very day we desire to avoid, but careful examination of the original showed that the translation was cor rect. It was made by Samuel Belden, Pesquiera and Carothers in consulta' tion. They carefully weighed the meaning of every word and phrase
 Pasquiera said, as giving evidence of the peaceful intentions of the rebel government, that Carranza had re- fused number of offers from federal garrisons to join him if he would take the field against the United States.
 re all of these offers we have re- turned negative replies said Pas queira
 We cannot join forces with Huerta for any purpose
 General Villa received reporters to- night and made guarded replies to a number of questions.
 Asked if foreigners would be pro- tected should the rebels be brought into war against the United States he replied:
 Our forces in an event which hope will not come about, would take the opportunity of proving to the world that we are a civilized people and capable of following all rules Of civilized warfare I would perfect guarantees to all neutral foreigners and I am willing to youch for this personally
 When asked if he would join forces wilh lHuerta in war against the United States, he said:
 As I have already stated. such an event is improbable, but to answer your question, must state that l am a soldier and am ready to follow ali orders of my chief, General Car ranza.
 General Villa, when asked to ex. press aa opinion ol General Car ranza's note to President Wilson, re- piled:
 Tt was written with the brain of a Saxon and the soul of a Latin
 He would not make any statement as to his opinion regarding President Wilson's message of yesterday to General Carranza beyond the follow ing:
 'I am a soldier and not a diplomat and in that capacity it would be i'm proper for me even to comment on that matter
 Pasqueira made the following for maj comment on President Wilson's statement of today:
 "The wishes and intentions which he manifests to respect by all means the sovereignty of my country is an other evidence of the great mental and moral standard of President will son, and 1 expect further develop ments to further prove it"
 There were no official communica. tions between General Carranza and President Wilson today although a statement was expected from Wash ington.
