where the most damage occurred, and
whose farm was devastated.
Corn was absolutely ruined, as were
he oat and wheat crops The cotton

The destruction in Bibb county was
aoualled by that in Crawford and
Iouston counties. Preparations were
being made by many of the farmers

There is a theory that the way to
keep a hog well is to keep him and
his food and surroundings clean. It
is worth trying. Not long since an
other outbreak of cholera occurred on
a farm where the hogs had as a wa
tering trough filthy mud hole under
the horse trough. The mud hole per-
haps has never known the effect of
a good disinfectant. If you want to
succeed with hogs, you had best be
about the business Of dosing those
lice with crude oil, disinfecting those
filthy wallowing holes, disinfecting
around feeding places to destroy worm
eggs that will infest other hogs, and
with the matter of growing some kind
of grazing crops for the animals. Don't
forget what q hard time a hog has
getting water if he does not happen
to have a whole spring or branch at
his disposal.

FERRER

Spanish republicans, socialists, an-
archists and radicals of all degrees
celebrate the tenth Of January as. the
birthday of Francisco Ferrer who
convicted of having melted the revo-
lutionary riots in Barcelona, was ex-
ecuted in 1909. Ferrer was in many
ways a remarkable mana fanatic Of
unbelief, who accepted death as brave
ly as any martyr Of the faith. That
he was unjustly convicted. and execut-
ed has since been decided by SPANS
tribunal, which gravely considered the
case months after the death of the vic
tim, and as gravely handed down a
decision that Ferrer was innocent of
the charges made against him!
sFerrer was born in a village near
Barcelona on Jan. 10. 1859. Sarly in
life he became shop boy, and then
a ticket inspector on a Spanish rail-
way. although he had few educa-
tional advantages. he was naturally a
student, and spent all his spare time
reading and studying scientific and
philosophical works. He early be-
came an opponent of the church and
a republican, and his intellectual abil-
ity won for him a place among the
leaders Of the Spanish anti-clericals
and nti-monarchists. Among those
interested in the propaganda Of Fer
rer was Mile. Ernestine Mounier, q
wealthy Frenchwoman, and at her
death she left him half her fortune,
providing an income of about $1,000

regarded as a trust" says William
Archer, the English dramatic critic
and author, in his work on Ferrer,
land only six months after + her
death he started the now famous
Escuela Moderna (Modern SchooD at
Barcelona. Though now a rich man,
he in no way changed his simple style
of living. His farmhouse at Mongat
