HOG CHOLERA.
' "Wlinl an lown Hrecdcr Says "Who Has
Ilnd It On His urin.
Henry Wallace , of the Iowa Home
stead , who is an extensive breeder ,
writes : Last year , according to the
Government reports , we lost six mil-
lion hogs by that aggregation of dis
eases known as hog cholera. Some ol
the loss was really from bad treatment ,
too little feed , injudicious feeding ,
filth , etc. , but a large per cent , of it
especially in Iowa , Missouri , Kansas
and Nebraska , was from the genuine
swine plague , or hog cholera.
There is a possibility that the losses
this year will equal last and that it wili
extend into Illinois , Indiana and Ohio.
The farmers in Iowa who did not have
it last year will bo candidates for il
this year , as it is a very impartial visi
tor , and is at home alike with the just
and the unjust , the clean and the un
clean. It is no respecter of persons or
politics. Wo have , as our. readers
know , had a pretty thorough schooling
in it , and have given our readers the
full benefit of our dearly purchased ex
perience.
We-wish to guard our readers , first ,
against the delusion that the disease is
preventible by any kind of medicine or
diet , or at least against the delusion
that any real preventive has as yet been
found. The only preventive that is of
any avail is to hsep the disease-breeding
germs off the place. You can't do this
by lAedicine. Once they find a lodg
ment in one pig it will infect the entire
herd , and we know of no euro.
These germs are carried on the boots
of visitors , by peddlers of dead hogs ,
by dogs , wolves , etc. We do not believe
it is carried by the wind. It may enter
tho system by the stomach , or enter
the circulation through an abrasion of
the skin. We have been studying the
disease closely for a year , notii
specially its spread , and we know of no
new outbreak which cannot be account
ed for readily. A great man } ' new out
breaks are directly traceable to the pur
chase of hogs from an infected herd ;
many others to the visits of the owners
of the infected herds. Others occur on
the main public highways , where these
infected animals are hauled or driven.
Others again by the use of wagons on
the farm in which infected animals
were hauled.
now IT AVOKKS.
First , the p g droops , holds its nose
near the ground , coat staring , forehead
often wrinkled ; when it lies down to
.seek a moist place and lies flat on the
belly , showing high fever. Bowels at
first constipated from the high fever ;
then follows violent purging ; vo dings
black and odor very offensive. The ap
petite is abnormal. The sick eat dirt ,
and are evidently hunting for some
nicdie ne. Some die at the very outsut ,
others linger for six weeks. These
probably die , not from the cholera it
self , but its results ; that is , in the weak
ened condition other diseases of lungs ,
liver and kidneys set in and complete
the work.
An examination may show lungs
sound or unsound , liver ditto , worms
or no worms. It will nearly always
show the spleen enlarged , dark colored
and very soft , and it will always show
the presence of ulcers in the smaller or
"sausage" intestines. These are from
the size of a pin head to a nickel , and
are tho real disease.
THE DEATH IJATE.
That depends mainly on the weather.
If the weather is fine"as in August and
September , hogs will linger longer and
have fewer complications ; if tiie wcath- *
er is bail , as in November and Decem
ber , there will be more lung complica
tions and a greater death rate. In
either case , those pigs will live that
have enough constitution to < ret well ,
und those that don't will die. Very few
young pigs survive , generally about 2i
per cent. It will bu seen at oncu that
it is not worth while dortorinjr these ;
the beat thing to do is to knock sick
pigs under six months in the head and
burn them at once.
Of the mature hogs , about fifty per
cent , usually survive. These should be
separated as much as possibly , and
kept on clean board floors , which
should be d.smfected every day with a
solution of sulphuric acid , one part to
forty of water , and the dead ones at
once removed and burned. The diet
should be 1 ght and easily digested , and
plenty of water should be given to
quench thirst. In preparing the disin
fectant , put the water in acid , not the
acid in the water. A solution of one
to two hundred may be used as a drink.
By killing off the pigs and di
viding tho other hogs , the disease may
be kept under control , and a great
accumulation of virus avo dcd. The
more disease-breeding germs accumu
late in any locality , the more virulent
the disease becomes. Division and dis
infection keep it under control. Nature
must do the curing.
AFTEK-TUEATMENT.
When tke 'df hs have ceased , take
care of the res > Your brood sows ar
invaluable. T/ey are cholera proof
and it is but 'reasonable to suppose
their pigs , if from a sire that has re
covered , will have strong capacity to
"
resistthe disease. Some may"not
breed , but most of them will. All old
straw stackAJ around which the pigs
have lain , should be burned up. The
pens should 1 be disinfected. AH tho
manure should bo hauled out and no
strange pigs brought on the place for a
year. Jn this way the loss may be con-
lined to one year's operations.
We have not , in this , < rone into auv
scientific discussions , but have aimed to
give advice in a common-sense way to
common-sense men. We are quite sure
this will fall into the hands of a good
many farmers who , if they take our
advice , will make money by it. We
owe it to our readers to give them tho
results of our experience.
In conclusion , we advise farmers not
to go fooling around their neighbor's
pen when cholera , is around , and don't
allow even your mother-in law. or your
own relations , or wife's either to come
fooling around yours. If you have any i
pigs nearly-ready for market , get them
cff as soon as possible. In other
words , keep your affairs in the the best
poss ble shape , as tho sailor docs when
the barometer is low and there are sgns
of a storm.

HONEY ANTS.
Tlicy Arc Very Intelligent Insects
ami Arc Also Good to Eat.
" - " saidafriund
"Dine-with me to-day.
"and I will promise you somethiu
new , a bonne bouche never dreamed o
in j'oitr philosophjI did not believe
it , but accepted"an invitation , with tl
understanding that the line was to b
drawn at mountain lion and magpie
and that Chinatown was not to be
drawn on.
The dinner was served , and , by way
of dessert , the mikado in attendanci
brought in a silver salver , upon whicl
rested some objects that I assumed to
be extraordinary large currants , of ricl
amber hue. My friend took one and
observed that it attempted to escape as
lie passed it to his mouth and bit off the
amber-hued globe as he would a cherry.
As he did so a look of extreme bliss
passed over his face , only to be follow
ed by another as he repeated the oper
ation.
Not to be outdone , I also took one o
the objects , whicli was a squirming ant
swal owed it , and became conscious o
having eaten a drop of hone } * , swee !
and agreeable , though the fact tha
each morsel was obtained only by the
"
sacrifice of a defenseless insect"was
somewhat of an objection. This
slaughter of the innocents continue
for a few moments , when my friend
scraped together a small monument ol
heads and , gazing at them reflectively ,
asked me how I felt.
"I brought these. " he continued ,
"from 'way down in southern Califor
nia , on the edge of Mexico , where they
live. They cost mo about a cent apiece ,
and I propose to introduce them among
my friends' . In Mexico they are con
sidered a great dainty. I first saw
them in old Mexico , where I was stop
ping , and one day , in lunching with a
friend , he ordered a plate of these , and.
to tell the truth , I would have given a
85 b.ll rather than to have eaten one.
but it would have seriouslj' offended my
Mexican friend to have refused , so
shut my eyes and went it blind , literal
ly , and aftor the first one I was well
contented to eat a dozen , as if you can
overcome the idea of eating a living
creature you are all right.
"My host observed my modesty and
laughed at me. "You Americans are
curious poople' he said. 'I have seen
you watch a man stab a delicate oyster ,
and while in its death-struggles mad
den it witli condiments , a process
as cruel as throwing a human being
upon burning coals , yet you object to a
single ant that is so surcharged with
honey , so replete w.th the delights of
honey , that it is insensible to pain
In short , I became a convert , and after
that I could never get enough. You
see , we have a precedent in locusts and
wild honey , and the locust was and is an
extremely disagreeable-looking object ,
and the wild honev was not as sweet as
this. "
The ants thus served up by in'epicu
rean friend were the famous honey ants
found from Mexico to Colorado in
this country and In the east , and , wli le
all ants are remarkable for their seem
ing intelligence these present certain
features almost be\'ond belief , and
when their story was first told in scien
tific memoirs by Do Norman , Wusmaul ,
and others it was considered by many
as a huge hoax , invented by some fun-
loving naturalist as a take-off on the
growing interest in economics.
The honey ant is a small red insect ,
extremely demonstrative and active ,
and found particularly in Texas and
MVx.co. and in considerable numbers in
Colorado. Their nests are prom.nent
mounds in somj cases and again are
low heaps , spread over an area twenty
or thirty feet , forming a commun.ty.
As a rule they are nocturnal , working
at night , though I have seen them at
work in the br.ght sunlight at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon , and marching in a line
perhaps seven feet wide and forty feet in
length , to a cottonwood tree , up which
they passed , long and slender , com
ing"down larger and full of white
liquid.
It would strike even a casual observer
as curious that these ants were carry
ing home a liquid that could hardly be
stowed away , ants not having , as a
rule , storehouses for liquid provisions ;
but the honey ant overcomes this diili-
cultjin a novel manner. Certain of the
ants , cither by agreement or selection ,
are utilized as receptacles for the
and become liter
honey-food supply ,
ally honey bottles. They are kept by
the others in a separate apartment ,
about six inches long b } ' four in height ,
this is a storeroom. Here , if the nest
: s carefully opened , the ants or honey
settles will be seen hanging on the
wall , looking like ripe currants.
Francisco Call.
She Recognized the Buttons.
The m'nister's wife sat on the front
porch mending the clothes of one of
her numerous progeny. A neighbor
passing that way stopped in for a
riendly chat. A large work basket
lialf full of buttons set on the floor of
the porch. After various remarks of a
gossipy nature thu visitor said
"You seem to bo well supplied with
3uttons , Mrs. Goodman. "
"Yes , very well indeed. * '
"My gracious ; ! if there ain't two of
the same buttons that my husband had
on his last Winter's suit ! I'd know
em anywhere. "
"Indeed ? " said the minister's wife ,
calmly , "I am surprised to hear it , as

tribution box. I thought I might as
well put them to some use , so I what ,

London Lead * tlio World.
London , with the single exception , possi
bly , of Rome , is the only capital in Europe
where the festivities of a court are to be
enjoyed. Berlin was never very guy , and
now that the emperor and empress have
become so very old the social elements of
court life have become extremely primitive ,
as well as formal and restricted. The
haughty aristocracy of Vienna decline to re
ceive at their entertainments any foreigner
below the rank of a prince , even the at
taches of the different legations having bub
a dismal time of it. Since France became a
republic the social prestige of Taris has
wholly vanished.
Spain and Portugal are too far out of
the beaten track , and especially the latter ,
and the stiff etiquette pervading at both
courts renders them anything but popular.
Since King Hubert ascended thu throne of
Italy he and his fair wife have done much
to make Home a brilliant and attractive
socia' center. But it is now an undoubted
fact that London , during the season , has
taken the place which was occupied under
the second empire by Paris in the affections
of society lovers on both sides of the At
lantic.

It is claimed that by a new process Vliite
wood can be made so tough as to require a
cold-chisel to split it. This result is ob
tained by steaming the timber and submit
ting it to end pressure , technically "upset
ting it , " thus compressing the cells and
fibres into one compact mass. It is tin
opinion of those who have experimented
with the process that wood can be com
pressed seventy-five per cent , and tha ;

Boston ( Mass. ) Courier. Oct. 3.
Mr. Amaro Arango Bibeiro , who in the
last drawing of the Louisiana StateLob- _
tery , held in Noxv Orleans on the 14th inst. ,
drew one tenth of the capital prize of 5150-
000 , is a senior in Tuft' College mid resides
at 17 Wellington streeb in this ciby. When
visited by a Courier reporter lasb week Mr.
Bibciro was in a very happy frame of mind
and expressed himself as being much
pleased with his good fortune , as even to a
man in ivell-to-do circumstances the unex
pected receipb from the Adams Express
Company of § 15,000 was an event thatdid
not happen every day. Mr. Bibeiro is a
native of St. Peuulo , Brazil ; about twenty-
Bight or thirty years of age , and firsb camo
to the United States in 1879. Some ten or
eleven j-ears ago he , together with his
brother , inherited a small Brazilian coffee
plantation , but this they soon disposed
of and established themselves in thefr
present business , that of railroad and
commercial brokerage. His time _ in
this country has been passed at Lehigh
University , Penn. , in New York city , and
ab Tuft's college , where he is at present
making a specialty of civil engineering , and
from which he will graduate in June. He
lias always had great faith in the possibili
ties and fairness of the Louisiana Lottery ,
and when in Lehigh , with a number of other
students , was a constant purchaser of
tickets , and was rewarded on one occasion ,
while there , by receiving a prize of $750.
About ayear and a half ago he began in
vesting two or three dollars a month in
tickets again , as , he says , he thought be
might as well invest his money in that way
as in any other. A few months ago he
drew five dollars and finally , on the 14th ,
a tenth of the capital prize. Mr. Bibeiro
expresses himself as perfectly satisfied with
his experience and says the windfall Is just
what he needs to put into his business.
