Cicaco, Dee, 27.—According to the charpes made in court today the P. L. Stan- ley-Winston company, a real estate corpor- ation, hae been wrecked by the speculation of the president, . M. Stanley. Bertram M. Winston, treasurer applied for the appoint- ment of a receiver for the concern and that the affairs of the corporation be wound up Stanley is charged with appropriating 70,000, Judge Shepard appointed C. M. Walker receiver. Winston says he discovered a few days ago that Stanley had misn\»plied $70,000 and that of it had gonein wild and reckle: ation on the Chicago stock exchange. rked corporation was organized last fall, succeeding the old firm of P, k. Stanle & Co. Prior to the organization of the new any Stanley was engaged in confidential with certain customers, and a con- siderable portion of this private business was never merged into the business of the firm. Among the transactions which the Winstons claim were put through by Stanley in his individual capaeity, were deals with L. H. McCormick aud J." F. Keeny, involy- ing respectively #5000 and $125,000. After Stanley became convineed of his liability to crimina) prosecution he gave it out that the corporation was liable to McCormick, Keeny and others for money intrusted to and appro- priated by him. The Winstons, said McCormick, threaten to bring suitagainst the corporation, and he asked the court to enjoin him and others from 50 dving. The court took no action on this point today, and McCormick filed a suit against the company for £50,000 damages. The assets, according to Winston, are suffl- cient to meet all obligations and the value of the securities held by banks exceed the amount of indebtedness by $10,000. el A CANADIAN VIEW.

China has room for all her children, It is wrong to suppose that the whole empire is suffering froma plethora of population, writes President Martin of the Royal college, China, in the Forum. Certain districts are overcrowaed, par- ticularly on the southeastern seaboar and from that quarter alone laborers come to this country. Many of the provinces are thinly peopled and call tor colonists, Yunnan, with an area of 10 000 square miles, had a population of barely 7,000,000 prior to the Moham- medun rebeilion, though highly favored by soil and climate. Since that devas! ating scourge, the fizure must be re- duced by half. The same is true of Kweichan, and of Shensiand Konsuh, the two provinces yf the northwest. On the northeast, in what is called Manchu- ria, are two new provinegs, each of them nearly as large as the state of New York, which, excepting a few mil- itary posts, present the spectacle of un unbroken wilderness, The government is now endeavoring to attract settlers to that region as the hest way to secur: from falling into the hands of Russia, The immense regions of Mongolin are sure, for the same reason, to be thrown open to settlement at no distant date, At present they are in a condition ana- logous to that of our Indian reservations, only more sparsely populated than any of them, The povulation of China two centuries ago was less than 200,000,000, It is now nearly twice as great, or to be nccurate, about 882,000,000, With the extonsion of s and the development of new os, it might easily double itself | without any danger of treading on the heels of supply.

Assoon us the herd has become in- “ected, the healthy animals should be immediatoly removed from the sick so far away thero will bo no danger from infection by contaet, drainage of the soil,water or gusts of wind. They should be given ample space, so that if there are diseased animals mmong them it will not spread so rapidly as when they are crowded. The kodies of those removed may be disinfected by pouring over them a 2 per cent solution of carbolic acid, or two and ona-half oun of acid to one gallon of water, and also driving them through the fee 2.

There should be frgquent and thor- ough disinfection of the premises, and cleanliness maintined.

The two acids should be care- fully mixed in a g jur or bottle and poured slowly into water ina wooden pail, in proportion of two ounces of the acid mixture to one gallon of water. This should be used with a broom or brush upon woodwork, fences, pens, floors, tools, ete., and also dashed over the soil. For shoes and hoots,brush them with a mixture of one-fourth ounce of rbolic acid and one-half gallon of wa- er. Pails after using should be rinsed with water to prevent the acid from de- stroying the ivon hoops. 5. All manure from sick hogs should sinfected before removal. . After a disinfection of premises, no hogs should be allowed thereon for at least four months, Vhere a few ani- mals are left that have been exposed 0o fresh animals should be added to them for six months, If it is nece v to put fresh animals where the disease has been, as in stockyards, ete., then all prior infected animals should be killed and the premises previously disinfected, as stated. 7. Sick hogs should not be permitted tostray into out-of-the-way places, un- der buildings and into fence corners or under straw stacks, thus scattering the disease, 80 a8 to make infection impossi- ble. Thay should be penned or inclosed in u yard where proper attention can bo given them, and other hogs kept from them. 8. Where no disinfection is had hogs should not be admitted on premises where the disease has prevailed for one year. Itis believed that the cholera germs will lose their vitality cntirely in one year. 9.” All domestic animals, especially sheep, that have been in contact with diseased hogs should be enclosed away from all other animals and closely watched, 10. No person from a farm or premises where hog cholera does exist, or has ex- isted, should be permitted to come on premi where the disease does not ex- 1st, unless previous disinfection is had of his boots and clothing. 11. All birds, wild or tame, should be excluded from infected premises, After all this trouble, there still re- mains the danger of a fresh introduction of the disease. It is difficult for ono farmer to protect himself when con- stantly menaced by his neighbo till, it is much easier to keep it away than to eradicute it. It is best, therefore, in thoso regions where the disease is al- ways more or less present, to keep the in more limited space and enclo- es of such form and size that dis- infection may be had with less labor and more aefinite results, It is confidently believed if these rules be faithfully observed wherever the disease exists, hog choleva can be permanently eradicated from the state. Though winter freezing will not de- stroy the germs, there is good reason to bel they w ive more thun a year in any soil. But it is carvied and distributed, throughout the year, from places where cases have occurred, and thus the virus is kept alive. Hence the necessity for extensive concerted action among farmers, Hog cholera germs have never heen found in soil or water independent of the disease. Neither have the 3 found except in the body or dis of disensed hogs, and from these the in- fection spreads.

The scolding is done by pouring boiling water over it, in a tub, at night, throwing a covering on it and allowing it to remain until morning, In the morning, befove feeding, add, for every twenty heng, one pound of Fround grain mixtuve. This grain mixture may be prepared by "J”xm,\v twenty-five pounds of ground corn and oats (they are usually ground together) ten pounds of bran, " five pounds of wmiddlings, two pounds of linseed meal and four ounces of salt, the whole to be well mixed, It scems out of season to discuss this matter, but we are quite sure that 'a estion now will prove valuable to oractson it, says the Western Stockman and Cultivator, lu\l-r{ farmer who expects to grow corn nex year should suve his seed now.
