Inoculating a Hog With Cholera So

ipllah this without spreading dlmnse,
fin the face of all the attendant dan
era, required, of course, such clone
are that the window of Home phases
of the Inspection system tuny not have
been always apparent to all concerned.
With swine moving by carload and
tralnloads from producing areas Into
public stuck yards of the country, Hays
the statement, the pens of Mich yard
are Inevitably Infected with the com
mon swine diseases, of which cholera
la the most Important. Owing to this
condition federal regulations formerly
required the slaughter of awlne re
elved, but after the serum and virus
treatment against hog cholera wits
standardized the possibility of ship
ping Immature hogs for furtlier fad
ing resulted In a modification of the
rules. Under the plan now In force
awlne properly vaccinated and disin
fected may be reshlpped for any pur
Ioh, Including breeding.
Immunizing hogs against cholera la
veterinary procedure. Including the
preTentive-serom treatment, taking of
temperatures and observing the condi
tion of the animal during the test
tierlnil Ki'uiiiiirllv .
. la t Ions are of teclini.nl character, and
It has come to the attention of the de
partment of agriculture that In some
aaea the rules hare been misinterpre
ted so as to make them appear respon
sible for fluctuation In the atock hog
market. ,
For the Information of the public,
the bureau of animal Industry outlines
briefly the method of Inspection:
AH puhUc stock yards are consld
red to be Infected and' awlne are,
therefore, exposed to the contagion
from the time of their entry Into the
yards; consequently It hi Important
that they be Immunized promptly af
ter arrival at auch yards, to protect
them against contracting the disease.
For that reason the department op
posea the Immunization of swine that
have been so exposed for more than
live daya. Hogs, though they may not
show physical symptoms of cholera,
may In some Instances be affected with
the disease to such an extent that Im
munization will not protect them.
It la not permissible to Immunize
wine for Immediate shipment Inter
state If they show symptoms of con
tagious or Infectious disease.
If a considerable percentage of the
animals In a lot Is found to have high
temperatures, the possible presence, of
auch disease is indicated and the ani
mals are not Immunized or permitted
to be shipped Interstate. It Is possible
to bave hogs with high temperatures
a result of conditions surrounding
the shipment to market. In which case
they will return to normal within a
short time.
Imagination Cuta Big Figure When
Terms of More or Less Plctyr.
esquenesa Are Employed.
An amusing and plausible analysis
has been made of the way ninny peo
ple lo Ihe United Stales use and un
derstand tut words "ranch," "plantn
Hon- and "farm." In the Imagina
tlon. of easterners, aays the analyst
In effect, a plantation or a ranch mig-
gents wide acres and a gentleman on
horseback riding about to oversee their
cultivation by picturesque hirelings,
whereas a farm suggests a compara
tively amall field of growing vegeta
bles personally conducted to harvest
by a plain man In overalls. Yet many
a ranch or plantation Is no bigger
tlian a amall farm, and ninny a large
farm Is as big as a corresponding
plantation or ranch; and the word
"gentleman" fits as many farmers as
ranchers or planters. The farm, how
ever, says this observer, may easily
get Into society by being spoken of
In the plural; and all the farmer needa
to do to attain this distinction Is to
build a fence across his Innd and then
call It the Somcthltig-or-other Farms.

No More Dark Continent.
One may no longer believe In the
existence of a strange white people
In Africa. Itlder Haggard's splendid
race Is probably only the Ilnhima,
originally discovered by Speke In
southwestern Uganda. At least Sir
Harry Johnston claims to have discov
ered In them the clue to many of the
mysterious white-race legends found
In the dark continent. He was en
gaged In nothing more thrilling than
a tour of Inspection of Ankole when
he came across them, They are of a
very light complexion, and are the
aristocrats of this region. Sir Harry
holds that they are obviously descend
ants from a Gain, Somali or other
Hnmltlc stock, and adds that some of
them are more like Egyptians than
Is the case with (aulas and Somalia.
Romance disappears before the tread
of the explorer. The dark continent
la dark no more.
But Mrs Smithera Meant Well, and
No Doubt Her Good Intentions
Are of Record.
On one side of the hnll In the new
apartment building lived Mr. and Mrs.
Rtnlthers; on the other side of the hall
lived two girls who taught In the pub
lic schools and who were having their
first experience in "baching It." Mrs.
Smlthers didn't know them very well,
but he took a motherly interest In
them to the extent of hoping thnt they
had enough to eat and that their neces
sarily hasty and amateurish spread
would not give them Indigestion.
The other dny, out of kindness of
heart, ahe took them a batch of fresh
Msculta she had Just baked. And white
she was there, she showed them how
to use the stove, gave them some hints
on marketing, wrote down a lot of rec
ipes for simple viand, and gave then)
a lecture on food values and the prep
aration of leftovers.
They were very grateful to the dear
lady, and they told us all about It. And
they made us promise solemnly that
we would never tell her that they were
teachers of domestic science. Cleve

8lr Redvers Buller'a Ghost Story.
Borne time after the Franco-German
war of 1870, writes Lady Duller In an
English paper, Sir ltedvera (then Cap
tain) Holler left England to visit the
battlefields, and on arriving at the
town of gave directions that his
letters should not be forwarded, and
started on his tour of inspection.
After he had been away some days,, he
awoke suddenly one night, thinking
he aaw Lord Wolseley (then Sir Gar
net), and that he heard him nay: "1
wonder where thnt fellow Huller Is, I
can't tbiuk why he has not answered
my., letter." This so Impressed htm
that he returned at once to the town
of , where lie found a letter await
ing him. from Lord Wolseley, saying
that he must return to London ltnrae
dlatajy, as an expedition against the
Ashantees was Imminent.
. Famous Sapphires.
Fine sapphires are more valuable
than diamonds of equal weight and
quality, only rubles being more pre
cious, lint ruby crystals (In the rough)
are rarely more than half an Inch long,
whereas those of sapphire occasionally
reach three Inches. Most prized are
the "velvet blue" sapphire and those
of "cornflower" tint.
One of the most famous gems of
this variety la the "wooden spoon sap
phire," which gets Its name from the
circumstance that It was picked up by
Ceylonese dealers In wooden spoons,
according to an exchange. A while
ago it was In the Hope collection. It

Start of Big Industry.
Upon the Invention of a machine for
sewing leather shoes, for which the
patent was Issued to Gordon McKay,
April 20, lStl2. was built the great boot
and shoe Industry of the United States.
McKay purchased, In 18T9, lilake's sew
ing machine, which was one" simply
oslng wax thread, with a stationary
horn attached. While the machine In
tended for sewing boots and shoes op
erated well In parts of the work, it
failed In stitching the heels and toes.
McKay changed the feeding apparatus,
Introduced automatic contrivances, and
finally was successful In adapting
It to all kind of work. After the
breaking out 'of the Civil war, McKay
began to make army shoes, and in
1802 made contracts with 02 firms for
their use. In 1870, 1..V0 were In op
eration. These machines have been
used In foreign countries, Htid more
than l0,ooo,oo) shoes are annually
made on them In the United States.
Fashion.
Manners have been somewhat cyn
ically defined to be a contrivance of
wise men to keep fools at a distance.
Fashion Is shrewd to detect those who
do not belong to her train, and sel
dom wastes her attentions. Society
Is very awlft In Its Instincts, and. If
you do not belong to It, resists and
aneera at you, or quietly drops you.
The first weapon' enrages the party
attacked ; the second la still more ef
fective, but Is not to be resisted, as
the date of the transaction Is not
easily found. People grow up and
grow old under this Infliction, " and
never suspect the truth, ascribing the
solitude which acts on them very In
juriously to any cause but the right
one.- Italph Waldo Emerson.
Queer Notions.
It Is a superstition that as soon as
a death takes place In a house, all
the looking. glasses should be covered"
up or turned with the face to the wall
if they are hunglni; glasses, and must
remain covered or reversed till the
body has been taken out to burial,
and that no person left In the house
must on" any account look in the
glasses during the time betweeu death
and funeral. It Is strange, and some
what akin to the Idea, that It Is safe
to cover looklug glasses during a
thunderstorm. I never knew of a
looking glas- which was known to
have drawn a lightning "stroke,"
though the same Is possible. Queer
notions are often founded on facts.
