FARM NOTES.
CURE FoR HoG CHOLERA.—Dr. T. J.
Dodge, of Hamilton, Illinois, writes as fol-
lows to the Towa Homestead on the subject
of hog cholera :
‘‘As the price of hogs is sufficiently high
to pay the farmer to use every means of
protecting them from the ravages of the
cholera I deem it my duty to give to the
public, free, my recipe for the cure of what
is termed hog cholera, I have used this
remedy for 35 years, and raised hogs on
my ranch. in Nebraska and never lost a
hog.
Fare experimented by placing one well
hog with a lot of sick ones and keeping it
well by the use of this remedy. You will
confer a great favor upon the farmers of
this country by publishing this recipe in
full. I am now engaged in other business,
and have been for 16 years and am willing
to let others prosper by the long years of
experience of mine with a remedy I dis-
covered myself for the cure of this dreadful
disease. .
The prescription and directions are as
follows : !
Arsenic, one-half pound ; capealoes, one
half pound ; blue vitriol, one-fourth of a
pound ; black antimony, one ounce.
Grind and mix well the remedy before us-
ing.
1. Sick hogs in all cases to be separated
from the well ones, and placed in dry pens
with only five large hogs or eight in each
pen.
2. Feed nothing but dry food, but no
water, only the remedy until cured.
3. When hogs refuse to eat turn them
on their backs, and then with a long hand-
led spoon put the dry medicine down their
throats.
4. Dose for large hogs: One teaspoon-
ful three times a day for three days, then
miss one day and repeat amount until
cured. . Shoat or pigs one-half the amount.
5. Asa preventative, one teaspoonful
once a week will keep your hogs in a
healthy condition to take on fat. I can
place one well hog in a pen with 100 sick
ones, and with this remedy keep him well.
6. Let no other stock but hogs have ac-
cess to this remedy, as it is to them a
deadly poison.
Dr. Dodge adds that for many years he
sold his recipe for §5, and treated hogs at
the rate of $1 per head, paying the owner
10 cents a pound for all that died after
treatment began.
—Harness should never be allowed to
get greasy and dirty, so as to need scraping
and cleaning and scrubbing with stiff
brush and soda water ; but if it is in that
condition, then take it apart, so far as
practicable, and clean each part thoroughly
and work between the hands in warm,
soapy water until quite soft and pliant.
Castile soap is considered the best to wash
with, but any good white soap will answer
and is cheaper. When quite clean, hang
up in a room where it will dry slowly, and
before it is entirely dry, rub it well with
cod-liver oil, which is better than neat’s
foot oil, because rats and mice won’t touch
harness rubbed with it, while they will
that greased with the latter oil. Moreover
cod-liver oil has more body than neat’s
foot oil.
When well oiled, hang up to dry.
When dry, give another coat of oil. When
again dry, wipe carefully with a dry wool-
en cloth. This for heavier harness. For
carriage harness, finish with a wet sponge
and castile soap, using a chamois skin to
dry with. For red, worn spots, use an ink
made as follows : Put some old iron—rusty
preferred—into a crock and cover over with
good vinegar. In four weeks draw off
some of the liquid and add to it a little
copperas. Apply this with a small brush,
rag or bit of sponge tied to a stick. The
liquid will get stronger by standing. It is
black and durable.
A liquid gloss for harness may be made
as follows : Glue, 4 oz ; gum-arabic, 2 oz;
vinegar, 1} pint ; black ink, 4 pint; isin-
glass (fish glue), 2 oz. Soften the glue by
steeping in the vinegar, dissolve isinglass
in the ink, add the rest of the vinegar to
the glue solution ; then warm it until solu-
tion is obtained, adding the gum and ink,
and next the isinglass. Remove from the
fire when all is warm and thoroughly
mixed.
A recent German patent for a leather pol-
ish indicates the following formula : Alco-
hol, 40 to 50 parts.; tannic matter (I pre-
sume what leather men call ‘‘tanning solu-
tion,” and one containing at least 1-16 of
tannic acid will answer), 40 to 50 parts;
oil (fat or oil—sperm, boiled linseed, etc.,
will answer), 2 to 5 parts ; coloring matter
(Prussian blue is stated), 2 to 5 parts.
The coloring matter is to be rubbed up
with the oil, the tannic matter is to be dis-
solved in the alcohol, and the two mixed ;
but you may add gum-arabic or sugar to
the mixture, and may use water instead of
alcohol.
From the same source comes a new leath-
er grease or polish : Tannic matter, 40 to
50 parts ; dyewood extracts, 1 to 4 parts ;
coloring matter, 2 to 4 parts ; gutta percha,
1 to 3 parts ; fat or oil, 12 to 25 parts;
water 20 to 29 parts. The gutta percha is
dissolved in the oils (by boiling), and the
coloring matters in .the water. .
An old but very good recipe for making
harness and leather blacking is as follows:
Mutton suet, 2 oz; beeswax, 6 oz ; white
sugar, 6 oz ; soft soap, 2 oz; powdered in-
digo, 4 oz; When all have been melted
together and well mixed, add 4 oz. of tur-
pentine.
The blacking used by harness makers for
finishing small straps is made by melting
«2 oz. of glue in sufficient water completely
to dissolve it ; then dissolve 3 oz. of com-
mon bar soap in water, using no more
water than is necessary to dissolve the soap
and pour into the glue while the latter is
boiling. When the soap and glue have
been well mixed, add 4 oz. of lampblack,
moistened with and rubbed smooth in al-
cohol. Have 2 oz. of fine starch, well
cooked and hot; add it to the prepared
glue, and allow the mass to remain over a
a slow fire until the water is steamed off,
stirring it all the time to prevent the lamp-
black from setting. When cool, pour into
small pans about two inches in diameter
and one inch deep. To use itin the ‘‘hall,”
moisten with vinegar. If to be applied
with a brush, dissolve some in diluted
vinegar.
A good grease for heavy farm harness
may be made as follows: Melt three
pounds of clean beef tallow, melting slowly
and not allowing to get hot ; pour slowly
into this one pound of neat’sfoot oil, and
stir until the mass is cold. Much depends
upon this stirring ; if done well the mass
will become ‘thoroughly amalgamated ;
otherwise the tallow will granulate and
show white specks. It should be soft and
smooth. Add a little hone-black to color
it. $
——Congressman Russell, of Georgia,
who recently visited Boston, says :
“I found the citizens-of the ‘Hub’ talk-
ing nothing but the money question. To
my utter surprise I found that a goodly per
cent. of them were in favor of free silver.
Men who were in position to know assured
me that the cause was making rapid strides
in every New England state, and that if
the gain is maintained at the present ratio,
Bryan would surely carry one or two of
them. There was not a word to be heard
about McKinley or the tariff : all the en-
thusiasm was on the side of Bryan and sil-
ver. Though personally an advocate of
sound money, I am convinced that the peo-
ple of this country have made up their
minds to try the other system, and Bryan
is going to be elected hy a tidal wave ma-
jority.”
The New York World recently sent out
letters to 250 eastern workingmen asking
for a statement of their views on the silver
question. The replies are practically unan-
imous in favor of free coinage. The senti-
ment of the farmers of New York state,
even in the strongest republican counties,
is said by trustworthy observers to be very
strongly in favor of free silver, and it is
not at all improbable that Bryan will carry
the interior of New York.
Altogether, Mark Hanna, with his boo-
dle, is likely to have all he can do to keep
Bryan from sweeping the east as well as
the south and west.
——The disappointment of the Republi-
can journals over Mr. Bryan’s notification
speech has in it much that is comical. They
had their pencils sharpened for flights of
oratory ,a cloud-bursts of metaphor, daz-
zling pyrotechnics, a wilderness of flash-
light words, barn storming eloquence and
spread-eagleism generally. That was the
speech they wanted and were ready to mas-
sacre. They didn’t get it, but in re-
ality what the proprieties suggested—a
calm, judicial, argument, stating the case
plainly, with few verbal adornments.
Thereat the Republican papers are pained
at its tameness, at its lack of vim and go,
and failure to raise the rafters or set the
people within sound wild with enthusiasm.
That was not the intent of the speaker.
He was making a. speech for the whole
country, tobe read and studied in 45 states,
and to last the campaign. As the hostile
New York World says: ‘‘It was the
ablest, clearest, and most comprehensive
presentation of the silverite creed that has
been given the country.’”” That is pre-
cisely what Mr. Bryan’s supporters wanted
from him—and what they got. The
Republican papers wanted something they
could ridicule, and that is what they failed
to get. Hence those tears.—Pittshurg
Post.

Fry your food in Cottolene instead of lard and it will be free from that greasi-
ness and “richness” =o dyspeptic; the flavor will be delicious instead o
raid, and your food will do your good. Put in a cold pan, heating it with
the pan. Cottolene reaches the cooking point much quicker than lard—care
should therefore be taken not to overheat it.
vou will never use lard again.

Cured Me. :
For years I have been suffering with catarrh
and ear trouble, and was miserable-indeed. I
mind on ac-
count of the fearful noises in my head, and then
my hearing was leaving me rapidly, and there
was’ent an organ about me rhat was'ent out of
— shape. But to-day, thanks to Dr. Salm, all those
fearful noises have left me. Can hear well, no
more catarrh, and feel as well as apy one of my
age could expect.

Mrs. Emma Brant,
Four of the Test Doctors in the County Said
She was Incarable, but Dr. Salm Made a
Healthy Woman of Her.
For over five years I have been Sutening with
heart trouble and a bad case of dropsy. We went
to four of the best doctors in the county for relief
but all of them said a cure was impossible. At
times I felt so bad that I was certain I had to die.
I fainted away very often, and my friends told me
afterwards that every moment’ would be my last.
And I hereby affirm that had it not been for the
splendid treatment received from Dr. Salm, who
has “entirely cured me of that great trouble; I
would have been under the sod long ago.

Dr. Salm Worked Another Miracle.
For more than 8 years I have been suffering un-
told agonies, with stomach and general trouble.
I became thin and pale, too weak to-work, and
hardly able to drag nyse around. I looked so
badly, that my neigh
thought I had consumption, and wouldn't last
much longer. During those 8 years about 10 or
12 of our best doctors treated me, but I became
worse and worse, until I went to Dr, Salm, and I
can not eat more in a day, than 1 have heretofore
in a week, can attend to my daily labors, look
finely, have no more pains, and I actuall think 1
am well, People around here think
worked another miracle, and I am thankful to
him, for he has saved me from an early grave.
