accord. Friends OF Lieutenant Law

We have read with much inter

Feb. 9th in regard to the meeting
of the Monte Vista Hog Growers
association to be held in Monte
Vista on Feb. 10th, and wish to
add our congratulations for the
splendid work the association has
accomplished. All praise is due
them for meeting and cleaning up
the very serious conditions that
confronted them. However, we
must object to one statement in

the only organization of the kind

your attention to the fact that the

Our association was organized
several years ago, when the cholera
was at its worst, and by energetic
action-even going 80 far as to get

to obey the lawful mandates of the
association in regard to sanitary
condltlons-we were enabled to
stamp the cholera out of our terri.
tory the first year, and our local
inspectors scattered through the
district have attended to their du
ties so well that we have not had a
case of cholera in our district since.

our district, might mention the
fact that for every brood SOW owned

kennels back Of the farmhouse. To
my astonishment they were not at
all the kind Of dog kennels had ex.
pected to see. In fact. they were not
like any other dog kennels had ever
known. They were miniature Kaffir
huts.
An exclamation Of astonishment I
inadvertently emitted drew my hosts
attention to my surprise. and ho
srnilfngly told me how they happened
to be built that way. In England my
host had a fad for terriers. and he

ally he wanted to have kennels built
for them. and SO he gave the Kahir
carpenter on the place the most
careful instructions as to the sort
of structures that he wanted. Tho

away.
The next dav the carpenter came
to my host and asked him to come and
zee what he had made. There was a
note Of pride in the old fellows

these tiny huts built after the Kaf-
fir model. The Kaffir. perhaps be-
derstood what my host wanted. He
could not even comprehend the style
Of building. To him q house was .
