testimony of the attending physician the sanitary conditions about the premises are ina deplorable condition, vet the board of health has done nothing beyond placarding the house, Typhoid is not a contagious disease in the sense that such diseases as measles and scarlet fever are.The fact that the disease frequently attacks a number of persons in the same family | is due to the simple reason that all are | exposed to the same source of infection.Isolating a patient or quaran- tineing a house will not check the spread of a disease the source of which is in defective drains, foul closets and impure food or drink.In such a case the posting cf a placard is the last thing to be done.The duty of the board of health is to get at the cause and then see that it is removed.It is not considered necessary to isolate patients in the large hospitals, no one need fear taking the disease by casual contact with a person having it.To avoid real danger a better preventa- longratulations tive than a placard is necessary.\u2018buying tickets to Sherbrooke, hut their arrangements were frustrated by irate parents when the plan became known.Some of these lads recently broke into a box car

must look out for hiuiself.He must contend with excessive heat, | dust, Heo, Lad water, seanty pasturage and «ther ditheulties.Derbaps at this season his warst trouble is from bad water aod miry wallows, says an Ohio grower In Natlonal Stockman.The awner should make sure that he has ACCESS to plenty of good wnater\u2014run- ning water, if possible, No matter whether breeders decide that à bog should or should not wal- tow, it is evident that he will plunge inte the water or mud on a la day whenever he has a chanee of doing so.I believe that hogs should wallow whenever they want to, but ! do not believe they should have access to sloughs.There should be a place near the wateritæ arongh filled in stones until the pigs cannot work up any wire.This should receive the overflow from the watering trough, and (le surplus water should have an outlet into the adjoining lot or field.However, there should be a watering trough for the pigs so they need not drink from the wallow, We tind that our hogs go first to the wough for a drink and then they seek the wallow.If a place is fitted up this way.the hogs will never emerge from the water with a coat of mire upon their backs.The pig needs shade at this season.While sheds of any kind than nothing, yet these are often so hot that they are far from comfortable.with\" FEEDING WORK HORSES.Mistakes Often Made In This Topor- tant

growing pigs with advantage and econ omy.Second.\u2014For the fattening of swine weighing on the average over 100 pounds each, live weight, it is eco- | romiecal to give an allowance of skim- milk not exceeding five pounds per head each day.Third.\u2014In every case the swine fed with part of thelr ration of skimmilk were lustier, more vigorous and of a more Lealthy appearance than swine fed wholly on a ration of grain.Fourth.\u2014It js seldom profitable to feed skimmilk or buttermilk aloue to swine.At the least 30 pounds of ground grain should be fed with 100 pounds of skimmilk or buttermilk.The Berkshire Hog.As the pork barrel ta tbe end of the hog, so the hog that can fill it in the most satisfactory manner is ln the end the most useful, said W.D.McTavish Lefore the Iowa Swine Breeders\u2019 asso- clation.This the Berkshire can do with both quality and quantity, as he produces a greater proportion of lean or nicely marbled flesh, and when it comes to size he Is unexcelled.He is ap excellent grazer, and on account of his great inherent vitality and strength of constitution he is more apt to live to reach the pork barrel.In prolificacy and evenness in breeding he 1s ubsur- passed.The sows are good sucklers And careful mothers.None can point to as long a Ilne of as carefully selected ancestors as the Berkshire, On this foundation the breeders of today are rearing the superstructure of the future, the coming Berkshire hog of the corn belt.They are producing « bog that is truly 2 money maker, a rent payer, a breadwinner and a mortgage litter.Plg Polnters.Hogs are still lifting mortgages.Stagnant pools are poor places for bog wallows.To the hog ralser the most valuable bucket on the farm is the slop bucket.The farmer who has a few good hogs to market these days Js not complaining of hard times.There is a vast difference between a grunt and a squeal.Ove 18 a chord, the other a discord.Crimson Clover Hay For Horscs.A number of cases are reported from Delaware, where horses were killed my eating crimson clover hay, says the Rural New Yorker.This bay was too ripe before it was cut.When overripe the long head of crimson 1s cover- cd with bard, sharp hooks or spines, In the cases mentioned large, hard balls were found in the stomachs of the horses, and it fs supposed that they were formed around these overripe clover heads, We

saving! the frequent colls of the veterinarian, | drug bills and condition powders, lt is \u2018 the almost universal statement of vet- : erfnarians that VO per cent of the acute \u2018 cases that they are ealled to treat are caused from overfeeding.10 the horses caunot have green grass onee cr twice 4 week (nature's great (regulatory, they should have a bran Wash instead.But as hired help will often leave enough mash in the tub or manger to ferment, we have found that dry bran wixed with the oats and corn (gives execilent results and protects against the dangers of feeding stale or {musty mash, ; Some years ago an experiment was (made by the London Omuibus companr : con 1,000 horses to test the relative value between cut hay and grouml grain and whole grain and hay.They {first divided

cents, there would be a saving of $300 per day on the 6,000 borses.The proper way to treat such a case Is to have the sore cleanly dissected (out by a ywalified veterinarian who is familiar with the anatomy of the part, says Breeder's Gazette.If you cannot bave this done, apply lard around the sore and then carefully apply to sore only a paste made by rubbing up ar- genic iu glycerin, This is a fearfully strong application and will cause great pain and lameness, but will In a few days have the effect of destroying so much superficial tissue that you can tear off a layer about an inch thick.Remember, we do not advise you to apply this treatment unless Ît is absolute- Iy impossible to have the sore cut out.The sore is of a cancerous nature, and for this we prefer the knife.The application mentioned is the next best treatment, Partin] Paralysis of Pigs, Stop feeding corn In any form and feed ground oats with shorts, bran and milk, At the same time allow plenty of exercise on

puwers, He declares it brings us into: contact with them.This international) highway, while nowinally free to all, is, in reality reserved to the strongest, and: the question of strength is purely: ; naval.\u201cThe events of the last decade,\u201d Commander Murdock goes on, \u201chave made the United States a world power; ; in spite of itself.Our navy, which] formeriy had only te protect our coasts naval attack, Is now charged) with the vastly more difficult task of keeping open the communication between isolated areas of American ter-; ritorr.As the battle of Manila decided the destiny of the Pliilippines: and that of Santiago made the loss of | Cuba aml) Porto Iilco a certainty to) Spain.so a like reverse to our navy in a future war might cause a transfer of aux of our outlying possessions 10 some other power.In such cases military strength is but weakness and the navy becomes the real support «Ff national sovereignty.\u201d Commander Murdock emphasizes the important place the Monroe doctrine, holds lu Aruerica\u2019s foreign poliey.He: quotes the London Spectator's declaration that the German emperor wants! a fleet in order that when he puts his South American policy Into operation he will not be made ridiculous by an order from Washington, and that he believes that when he oecuples the Rio Grande do Sul the Americans will walve the Monroe doctrine if his fleet is equal to or stronger than theirs.Touching the Interoceanic canal, Commander Murdock says there is unquestionably a widespread conviction that the United States has a greater interest in the canal than any other nation and should therefore \u201ccontrol\u201d it.Commander Murdock believes the United States has fought its last fight with Great Britaln.The United States lg, however, Table to have trouble from one reason or another with almost any of the powers and must consider war as a possible result.1t is therefore important that we should have not numerical but fighting strength.Ie opposes the installation of six inch in place of the eight inch guns on the new battleships, and he calls the armored cruisers of the Maryland class and the protected cruisers of the St.Louis class defective in fighting strength.However useful battle cruls- ers may be, they cannot rank in netual warfare higher than battleships of the £econd class, and there must be enough battleships bullt to meet our requirements for a powerful navy, The German scheme of construction Is an admirable one.Unless Germany is to gain supremacy on the ocean, other nations, the United States lu- cluded.must build steadily.An average yearly increase of two battleships and one battle cruiser to the navy will preserve America's relative standing, while two battleships and two battle cruisers or three battleships aud one battle cruiser laid down each year will keep her ahead in fighting strength, \u201cIf we do not build\u201d Commander Murdock says, \u201cwe must, of course, accept any consequences that cur

Large Enough.The feeling is general at Washington that Secretary Long's reception room, designated in the precept as the place of meeting for the Schley court of in- Guiry, will prove too small to accommeo- date all who not unreasonably desire to attend, says the New York Post It is convenient to the records and other official papers which the court might have occasion to consult, but that is practically its only advantage, and in anticipation that the court after its first meeting may wish more commodious quarters a search is alrealy lu progress for other available space.There 13 a courtroom at the navy yard, but that is nearly three miles from the department, and would necessitate a long trip every day for the witnesses and every one else from the hotel end of the town.The department library has been suggested, but here the gallery In which it Is proposed to perch the press is too far from the floor to admit of easily hearing what Is golug on in the court proper.The old Cor- coran Art gallery was used by the International Postal congress, but this Is the headquarters of the court of claims, and It is feared that the sessions of the Schley tribunal may overlap the date of the return of the court after recess and thus impede other public business.: There !s no doubt that whatever The line of inquiry taken by the court will probably be far above the heads of most ordinary spectators, but the demand for standing room will not be abated by that consideration as long as there are epaulets and gold hut- tons to see.New Fleld For Lumbermen, It Is officially

can easily be { detected, and their durability is noth- {Ing like so great as the old paste dia- j monds.i Probably not one ont of every ten thousand buildings standing in all parts of the world, and built by mod- cern masons, will still be standing 500 \u2018years hence.We do not know how to \u2018put stones and bricks together as the [ancients did, and consequently the buildings we raise nowadays ave really imere temporary structures and will be \u2018ln ruins when the anclent buildings of Grecee and Italy, which were built { thousands of years ago, are in as good | condition as they are now.The secret ils not In the bricks or the stone, but {in the eement and mortar, nelther of which essentials can we make as the \u2018ancients made them.In modern buildings the cement and mortar are the weakest points; in buildings whieh the Romans and Greeks ralsed thousands of years ago the cement and mortdr are the stron- 'gest points and hold good while the very stones they bind together crumble away with age.We cannot, with all our science, make such cement and mortar, and therefore we cannot build such buildings as the ancients raised.| Chemistry, one might imagine, is the \u201csclence which has, perhaps, made the greatest strides, Yet modern chem- sts cannot compound such dyes as | were commonly used when the great natlons of today were still unborn.Now and again it happens that search- sers after antiquities come across fragments of fabrics which were dyed y thousands of years ago, and they are jastonished by the wonderful richness ,0f the colors of the cloths, which, de- \\Bplte their age, are brighter and purer than anything we can produce.Modern artists buy thelr colors ready made and spend large sums on plg- ments with which to color their canvas The pictures of modern artists will be colorless when many of the works of ancient masters are as bright 13 they are today.Just as the secret of dyeing has been lost, so has the secret of preserving the colors of artists\u2019 \u2018paints.Yet the secret was known to {every ancient artist, for they all mixed their own colors.How to make durable Ink is another Kreat secret we have lost.Look at any letter five or ten years old and you will probably notice that the writing bas faded to a brown color and is very in- tistinet.Go to any Big museum and you will find anclent MSS., the writing hf which is as black and distinet ns if fhe MSS.were written the day before yesterday.The secret of glass blowing and tint.Ing Is not yet entirely lost.There are $I a few men who can produce glass work equal to the things of this kind Which the ancients turned out hun- Oreds of years ago.But the average Pass manufacturer cannot produce Inything that could at all compare with some of the commoner articles ihe Egyptians, and later, the founders pf Venice, manufaciured, and those tho still bold the anclent secret gaard It so closely that it will probably dle with \u2018them and be added to the long list

third, in rich, well drained soil, and fourth, spray with bordeaux or its equal, soda bordeaux, at three week intervals.To this is added the not less PODS WITH BACTERIOSIS.important point of burning all the refuse of the field as soon as possible after the crop is harvested.i \"hese experiments indicated tbat no distance is superior to six inches in the row for bush beans of the golden wax sorts when the rows are 20 inches apart, but it should be stated that less apace Is required In the second than in the first planting of any season, | LATEST THING IN BEES.Beekeepers Are After the Red Clover Boney=The Long \u2018Fongued Bee, The latest fud In bees is a strain with tong tougues that ean extract the nee- tar from the deep tubes of the red clover blossoms, Beekeepers have for a long thane coveted the honey iu the red clover Dlossoms, and the Itallan bees when introduced into this country were supposed to be able to reach it, and the job was placed in their hands.But after a lapse of thine it was discovered that Lut a small per cent of them did any work cn red clover blossoms.Of Lute the fact has been developed that some vees have longer tongues than others, Various ingenious contrive ances have been made to pet the exact measurements of the bees\u2019 fongues, and it has been found that they vary in length ll the way from tifteen one- .bundredths to twenty-three one-hun- dredths of an inch, the last named be- Ing very rare.If I am not mistaken, a few perhaps bave excbeded this.It seems that the required length is about twenty-five one-hundredths.Every hegkeeper of note is now busy ' improving his stock along this line, and if you were to pick up a bee journal of the present you would find in most of the advertisements of queen breeders the announcement of the tongue length of his breeding stock, Evorybody is contident that it will require but a little time and patience to add a length to the tongues of all bees, for there bus Leen =o much attained in breeding bees in other ways that this does not seem impossible, It is well known that the common red elover Is perhaps heaviest nectar producing plant known, and honey from it is of fine quality.The value will not altogether lie in the honey crap, but the complete fertilization of the bloom will add greatly to the seed crop, thus benefiting the farmer, cuticludes A.H.Dull in Kansas Farmer, THE CAREFUL CAPON.Will Mother Young Chicks, Brood Them.Serateh For nnd Feed Them.Besides furnishing an abumlance of \u2018excellent food capous are very useful the | A Lucky Imitation.| Marshal Gourko, tie famous Russian seneral, was a terrible autocrat.On oie occasion an impersonator of celebrated men was performing at a thea ter in Odessa, One evening he recelved a mysterious message, whiclh read: \u201cStudy General Gourko.\u201d In Russia it Is Letter not to inquire into matters that one does not understand, and so the artist spent an hour lu privately hnpersonating the autocratic Russian.| Just as the evening performance was ubont to commence an order of arrest signed by Gourko was presented to the impersonator, and without explanation he was led through the streets to the marshal\u2019s palace and Into an apartment where the terrible man was seated.\u201cThey tell me that you Impersonate cel ebrated men,\u201d he roared.\u201clmperson- ate mel\u201d Giving a hasty look at Gourko, the performer turned to the mirror to \u201cmake up.\u201d It was an anxious time, for i£ the marshal should take excep- | tion to the representation he had unlimited power to infiect punishment.The impersonator dragged hinuself together asd (urned to the marshal a copy If his own face and overbearing iman- ner.Gourko burst into a roar of laughter, and the dangerous moment was over.When the World Will Be Full, i IF we apply to the future growth of the world's population the rate of in- \u2018crease that obtained during the uine- teenth century-\u2014one person per Lun- \u201cAred per year\u2014we obtain the following \u201cforecast: !
