Ain’t An Unjust Accusation. “Tom, you are terribly lazy.’ : “No; I am not lazy at all; I simply @on’t like to work.”—Chicago Record. Prepared in two minutes. No. Swine Items. A Marengo, Ia., correspondent writes that hogs in his locality are healthy and are going to market in nice shape and bringing good prices. The sea- son’s crop of young pigs is about ten per cent larger than last year’s. In New Zealand many of the swine growers have combined and estab- lished pork markets in which is sold mostly dairy fed pork. Such pork finds a ready sale, as the people prefer it to much of the other pork obtain- able on the markets. On a farm with reasonably good buildings and a clover pasture the cost of a gain of a pound of live weight on a bog up to 150 pounds is not very much in excess of two cents, says an exchange. To this must be added the interest on the value of the brood sow, the cost of her keep, the risk of acci- dent, the cost of the grass, etc. The Australian coasting steamer Kameruka, while going from’ Eden to Sydney, traveling at full speed, struck on a reef at Moruya Head. There be- ing no rockets on the ship the captain tied a life-line to some pigs which formed part of the cargo, and had the animals put overboard. The pigs swam to the shore, taking the lines with them, and by establishing communica- tion every soul on board was saved. Statistics embodied in a recent re- port of livestock in Great Britain show a considerable decrease in the pig stocks for the year. Among the Scottish counties, Ayrshire has the largest pig population, her numbers being 13,920 head, Aberdeenshire fol- lows with 12,346 head, and is closely followed by Wigtownshire, which has 12,020 head, while Dumfriesshire comes fourth with 10,915 head. At the Dominion Experiment Station at Ottawa feeding experiments have been undertaken with hogs to deter- mine the causes of soft pork. One hundred animals are being experi- mented with. Some are being fed on rape and grain, some on clover and some on grain and a variety of grains is being used. Combinations includ- ing barley, clover, oats and peas are used and one lot has been turned into a field of artichokes. Among the special features of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo next year will be a fine swine exhibit which will be held the latter part of September, and which it is expected will attract a large representation of twelve different breeds of swine, in- cluding the Suffolk, Victorias anJ Tamworths which arc but little known in the United States. Canadian farm- ers are better acquainted with them and will doubtless contribute exhibits. A special exhibit of hogs adapted to the production of bacon is promised. The managers of this department of the great show count on not less than 1,500 animals. New Enemy of Tobacco. Professor Garman of the Kentucky Experiment Station recently discov- ered a green bug wilting the tobacce ne Porecco split warm. adult moth above. larva "velow 02 right, pupa below at left, with side view of enlarged anal segment—all enlarged in an experimental plat. The insect is known as Euschistus variolarius, It is believed that the insect is re- sponsible for a good deal of the dam- age done to the tobacco crop during recent years. Injury from Duat. A close student of the habits of swine and of their diseases asserts that much injury is done swine by the dust that is allowed to form in feeding yards and air passages to the lungs to such an extent that mechanical pneumonia is produced, from which a good many deaths result. Neither hogs nor any other animals should be made to inhabit quarters where such conditions exist. A man that keeps his swine under the conditions men- tioned and finds his hogs getting what is apparently pneumonia should change the conditions at once as the first step in treatment. Also when hogs in such conditions, apparently sick with pneumonia, are being treated for the trouble, the dust if permitted to continue its work will most certain- ly off-set anything that can be done for their relief. Butter-Fat Losses, I found during my work of inspec- tion some large factories were losing as much as 87 pounds of butter-fat per day; this would be in factories making trom 1% to 2 tons per day. In other factories turning out less than half a ton of butter per day losses of 27 pounds to 3 pounds were found. The following are some of the causes for such losses: 1. Insufficient speed of the separator, 2. Irregular speed of the engine, caused in many cases by poor and worn out governors. 3. Boilers too small to furnish sufficient steam for the engine. 4, Irregular feed of the milk and irregular temperatures. 5. By churning mixed cream at differ- ent degrees of ripeness. 6, By churn- ing at high temperature, especially with sweet cream.—Dairy Commission- er of New Zealand.

Why He Couldn't, One of the twins was in the habit of bulldozing the other, and the latter complained with such frequengy that their father finally said to him: “Why do you come to me? Why don’t you do to him just what he does to you? If he hits you, why, hit back.” But the next day there was the same complaint. “He hit me with a tackhammer!” wailed the boy. “Well, why didn’t you hit him back?” demanded the father. -» “TI couldn't find another hammer.”— Chicago Post. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one | way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness 1s caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian T'ube. When this tube is inflamed ‘ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

The queen city of the Umbrian hills, Perugia, is a city replete with the story of feudalism and with the genius of artists, scholars and painters. A moun- tain town, situated 1,800 feet above the level of the sea, on what was originally a rocky acropolis, there are parts of it that antedate Rome. The foundations of the walls were laid more than 3,000 years before Christ by the Etruscan—a mighty race in their time, but now al- most forgotten—forgotten but for their art. ‘Truly, of them it may be said that, dying, they have never died, for their art has rendered them immortal. —Foreign Correspondence. Facts Soon Forgotten, Lord Roberts’ complaint that the treatment of British prisoners in the hands of the Boers was discreditable to the authcrities then at Pretoria should not distract attention from the charge made by Mr. Burdett-Coutts, Conserv- ative member of parliament for West- minster, and others, that the adminis- tration of the Pritish military hospitals in South Africa was grossly inefficient.
