IL Is estimated that at least 30 per

by hog cholera. Therefore, In the case

The symptoms exhibited by hogs
sick OF hog cholera are not sufficiently
distinct from those produced by other
maladies SO that positive diagnosis
can be made except through a careful
consideration of a number of other
factors In connection with the symp-
toms. From practical standpoint the
important thing Is to recognize hog
cholera as soon as possible after its
appearance In q herd In order that
anti-hog cholera serum may be applied
before the disease progresses too far.
Good serum may be depended upon TO
protect we'll hogs, and even to cure d
large percentage of those in the earli-
est stages Of the disease, but 1t will
not be of much avail when used upon
hogs that are already visibly sick
The following suggestions to farm
ers are offered as an aid to the early
recognition of hog cholera i'm herd:
/. Keep posted concerning the con.
dition and health of hogs on other
farms In your neighborhood Sick hogs
on Heighboring farm are a positive
menace. for the germs of hog cholera
are easily carried on the feet OF men
or animals,

order that any sick hogs may be
promptly discovered

EXERCISE FOR BROOD soWs
Animals Should &c Kept In Yards ard
Pens Where They Can Avoid
Narrow Gates ard Doors

BY @. E. MORTON. Colorado Agrtcul-
turaI CoIlege.) ..-s --@
Brood sows should be allowed plenty
Of room to exercise in, up to about
Two days of narrowing time. They
should be kept in yards and pens
where they will not be obliged to
pass through narrow gates, over
boards, doorways. or through low
doorways where they are obliged to
bend their backs to get through. ANY
one of these is likely to result in dead
pigs at birth.
1t is a good idea to feed whole oats
scattered on the feeding floor or
ground for a week or two prior TO
narrowing, so that the SOW will be
torcsd to exercise In getting her feed.
When about due to farrow, the SOW
should be put into a pen which has
been fitted with wallguards, whore tue
pigs may find safety after birth. The
ordinary pig guard is useless because
L is neither high enough from the
floor nor far enough from the wall.
and the space underneath alls up with
straw SO that the pig is crushed almost
as easily as Ii the guard were not
there. .....,
For thin, active sows a large pen
may be used For extremely heavy.
fat sows, II is best to have pen space
comparatively small, SO that the sow

be fed heavily just prior TO narrowing.
nor just after narrowing, but should
have thin slop for 3 few days so
that there may be no tendency to con-
stipation. II there is any such ten

The bedding in the pen should ne

out to a colony hog house, where they
will get more exercise. When the

or three sows may be turned together.

City Hall park was sizzling, re-
marks the New York Evening Post.
Suddenly a shrill ciamor rose above
the low-keyed song of traffic, and.
like a flock OF blackbirds, dozen
children in all stages Of undress and
dirtiness few toward the southwest

The practical good sense OF the
charity struck the spectator forcibly,
and it was not many minutes before
another crowd was struggling and
clamoring for the coveted bits of
paper. He favored the smallest, dirt

particularly touched his heart, and
he pressed a nickel into her hand. II
was something OF a shock to see her, q
