through hog cholera, lubereuloala, and

elmllnr tbat the breeder may regard

leal leata, mid by employing the aa
alatance offered by a fully equlpiied
loborntory. However, ; aanltary pre
ventive metboda which are found bene-
fklol wltb one of theae dlaeaaea will
prove equally emcacioua witn me
other.
There are a few fundamental facta
which tbe breeder muat remember If
he la to avoid loaaea through hog chol
era or awlne plague. Tbe flrat la that
they are tpeclflc dlaeaaea cauaed by
genua, and tbe contagion cannot be
apread from one anlmnl to another or
from one herd to another except
through the. agency of theae minute or
ganlama. They may be carried In t
multitude of waya by the hog them
Mlvea, on the clothing of persona, on
vehlclee, In feed, by birds, dogs, and
other antmala, or by at ream. The
breeding or feed of a hog cannot catiae
either dlaeaae, although bnd method
may ao weaken the constitution and vl
tallty that the anlmnl become more
euaceptlble.to.them than would other;
wlae be the caae. Since, theae dl
eaaea can only urine from the pres
ence of theae specific causative agent.
It can readily be seen that dentition
and the presence of supernumerary
teeth or black tuaka cannot, aa hn
been anggested by miiny, play any
port In their development. A second
fact to be borne In mind la that dla
eaaea cauaed by germ may be best
prevented or controlled by thorough
disinfection and acrupuloua cleanll-
Tuberculoma Inereaelng.
Tuherculosla I rapidly Incrcaalng
among hngs In the United States, nnd
every owner of swine should be on hla
gunrd against tho Introduction of this
aerloua malady upon hla premises.
Unlike hog cholera this disease la In
cldloua In Ita attack nnd slow In Its de
velopment, so Mint It tuny be present
for months In a herd without exciting
the leaat suspicion of the owner, nnd
will be revealed to him only nt the
time of alnughter. Until recent yenrs
tuberculosis has been looked upon ns
of uncommon occurrence nnd only of
Importance from n nient-lnspectlon
standpoint; but today It must he rec
ognlxed na n serious mennre to the
owner of hogs, nnd especlnlly to the
one who allows his hogs to run with
cattle that have not been proved to be
free of tubercnlosta, or who feeds them
upon nonaterlllred products a part
of their ration. A tubermloals of
bog I chiefly contracted through eat
ing Infected feed, the Importance of
Oil statement I ohvioaa.
Tuberenloala of bog I closely aa
aodated with the aaine lllaeaaa la cat
tle, Ibe reaaon being apparent when
one consider (he close relations of
the two specie of animate upon
nearly every farm. Tutierculous cat
tle may acatler greul numbers of to
berrle bacilli with their excrement;
cow that are tuherruloiia may pro
duce contaminated milk that la uh
aequently fed lo pig; and carcanaes
of ratilM that have died from tuber
cuIomI are sometime eaten by hog.
Any of these condition tiuike the In
fection with tuberculosis of tbe bog
concerned a very easy matter.
Sourcea of Infection.
The feeding of hog upon creamery
refute la also a very frequent source
of liifeetlon. In thl way the milk of
a Mingle cow with a lulierculoua ud
der, If aent lo a public creamery, may
apread the disease to a number of
hog, nnd mny also Infect many farm
that have never previously been con
taminated wltb tuhernalo!.
An equally dangerous source of In
fection is likewise observed In the
method which obtain among some
of the email country alnughter house.
It la not unusual for these house to
get rid of their blood, Intestines, vis
cera, and other Inedible parte by feed
ing them to hogs, a herd of which Is
usually kept oo the premise. This
custom la pregnant with danger and
icrvea lo perjvtuate the Infection prin
ciple of various eontagloua and para
sitic dlaeaaea, particularly tuberculo
us. Hoga are also susceptible to tuber
culous Infection from affected per-
aona nnd ponltry, but these source
oro undoubtedly of far less moment to
tbe bog owner than thoee existing In
a herd of tuherrulnu cattle.
Intestinal worm, lung worm, nnd
skin parasite also levy a burdensome
tag upon the profits of hog raising.
Absolute rlesnUnes will be found val
nnble In preventing and controlling
these parasitic troubles, na well as the
more serious disease hog cholera
and tuberculosis.
Prevention of oiseaae.
In dealing with tho dlKonse of hogs,
preventive measure must be most re
lied oiHin. The anlmnl must be given
dry nnd well-ventilated qunrters, which
must be kept clenn. Contrary to com
mon belief, bogs have some habits
which rulse them above other domes
tic nnlmnls from the standpoint of
cleanliness. For example, unless
compelled tn do so, n hog will nut sleep
In Ita own filth. If n pnrt of the floor
of the pen Is rnisel and kept well
bedded with straw, while the rest Is
not, all excrement will be left on tlie
unhedded portion of the floor and tho
bed Itself will be always clean.
In addition tn cleunllness close at
tention should be given to tbe feed, so
that nothing mny be Ted that will con
vey the genus of disease, especially
tuberculosis. m to tho herd. If tbe
bogs ore AmI milk In nny form nl-
tulnod from cow kept upon the same
farm, the cow should be suhjected to
the tuberculin tost. If they rnn with
th dairy cnttle of tbe farm a tubercu
lin teat of all the cnttle Is none the
less deslnihle. Anlmnl dead fro'.-i
nny disease should not be fed to the
hogs until the ment Tin been made
safe by cooking. Skim milk or refuse
from a public creamery should not be
fed to hogs until It baa been thorough
ly sterMlsed.
Feeding and drinking plucea should
be clean and the water aupply pure.
Unleaa the origin la known to be un
contamlnated and there baa been no
possibility of Infection during Ita
course, hoga'ahould not be allowed ac
cess to any stream. Wallowa should
be drained out and kept filled up aa
much a possible. At least once a
month the qunrters should be disin
fected with air-slaked lime or a five
per cent solution of crude carbolic
add. These precautions will be
found valuable aids In tbe destruction
of tbe various animal parasites, aa
well as a protection from some more
aerloua troubles.
Advantage af Isolated Hog Houaea.
Tbe advantage of Isolated hog
houses, each accommodating, a few
hogs, rather than one large piggery
for the entire herd, baa been referred
to previously. In districts where
cholera Is prevalent these are undoubt
edly the best shelters. They make It
more difficult to carry contagion to all
animal In the herd, and the destruc
tion of one of them In caae of an out
break does not entail a great expense.
An added advantage la that they may
be moved from place to pluce aa need.
ed. While more work la necessary In
feeding, the convenience nnd safety
from their use more than offset this
disadvantage.
Danger In Inbreeding.
While Inbreeding la the surest and
quickest means to fix type, It should be
resorted to with the greatest care. The
value of the system Is that It enables
the breeder to Intensify desirable char
acteristics In n herd nnd makes 1m
provemeht jMisslhle In a shorter time
thnn where selection alone Is used. . It
stands to reason that If desirable
characteristics can be Intensified, the
same will be true of undesirable ones.
Much of the disaster which seems to
have followed Inbreeding has probably
been duo to the fact that this point
was overlooked or given only sllslit
Importance, nnd thus loss of vitality
and constitution and susceptibility to
disease have followed. Therefore If

Vicar of WakefleldT or Scott by The
Life at Napoleon' when be really in
tended to say tbat It would be unjust
to estimate Goldsmith by hla "History
of Greece.''. There waa, too, an amus

grave Sir Archibald Alison in Includ
ing Sir Peregrine Pickle Instead of Sir
Peregrine Maltland among the pall
bearer at the Duke of Wellington'
funeral
Another atrlklng tnatance of the pen
mechanically writing something not In

on the title page of a reprint of a once
famoua book, Jane Portera "Scottish
Chief." Thla edition, pubuabed some
year ago by a well knowa London
bouse, describee Ml Porter as "au
