Prepare Your Lunch.
It is said that at some of the poll
ing places it may take upward of 24
hours to officially count the ballots
deposited under the Baker law. Tho
amount of work required to be sone
through with, it is claimed, makes
the labor of getting out tho official
count not only burdensome, but will
delay the announcement of the final
result in largo districts when there
is considerable cutting from five to
seven hours after tho polls have
closed on cloctiou day.
Section 23 of the law, it is held,
precludes the posibility of the elec
tion officers getting anything to eat
from the time the polls close until
the votes are counted. That may
tend to hasten the work some, as
under the old system tho election
officers frequently spent au hour eat
ing Buppor before, they began count
ing. Now they "must at once pro
ceed to count the votes" after the
polls close, and no one is "allowed
to communicate with any officer in
any way after the polls are closed."
That part of the section prevents
meals being served to the election
officers before finishing the count.

Hog Cholera."
The "hog cholera" is again mak
ing its appearance in some parts of
the county. At first it came to
these parts ten or a dozen years ago,
and in some seasons since proved
very destructive, sweeping away en
tiro pens of porkers in course of fat
tening preparatory for winter slaugh
tering. The disease comes on in tho
form of a deep prostration, the
symptoms usually first manifest ing
themselves in tho legs. The hogs
refuso food, and from appearances
are thrown into great suffering all
through the body. Tho disease has
but a short run, the animals affect
ed dying quickly. We have heard of
a caso where one of the animals was
taken ill with the disease and all
medicines failed to bring the desired
results. Tho owner naturally being
very anxious to save his hogship,
came to the conclusion that if ho
could only get the half defunct an
imal to vomit there might be a re
turn of its appetite, and, acting
upon the idea, ho took a stick and
commenced to wallop tho animal un
til it got up and ran from place to
placo until finally it belched forth
the contents of its stomach. It soon
afterward walked up to tho trough
and nto as heartily as over and at
once commenced to show signs of
improvement. In a few days, how
ever, tho animal again stopped eat
ing and it was then again put
through tho same course of sprouts
as before until vomiting wns pro
duced, tho appetito restored, and
eating resumed. Sigus of improve
ment
nuv. xuin nn reranmu iuw.i
times and the animal tiually took its
food, grew fat, aud was killed a
sound hog. It may bo that indiges
tion is tho producing cause of the
disease, and that the compelling of
au animal affected with the malady
to enter into a sudden active bodily
movement until vomiting results
through agitation and excitement
is the right thing, and if so the orig
inator of the idea ought to be pen
sioned by the government, for in
years past when the disease spread
over the country iu epidemic form
the losses sustained therefrom by
tho farmers amounted to many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. The
disease though called "hog cholera''
is no more like cholera than the itch
is like small pox. Hundreds and
hundreds of remedies have been in
vented for the cure of it, but with
out any saving effect, aud hence it
may bo well to give the vomiting
process a trial.

Good Enough when Rightly

Somehow some voters have gotten
it into their heads that the new hut
lot is too hard to understand, and to
vote, and therefore feel inclined to
stay away from the polls and not
vote at all. This is all a mistake, for
the ballot, though large, is yet, so
far as the voter is concerned, a very
simple thing and easily understood.
But the voters will not be convinced
of this fact until they try it nnd In
convinced by actual experiment.

the Austrailian ballot has revolution

States which have adopted that sys

to purchase his vote, or to make
him vote according to the direction
of his put ty lenders. Once at the
polling place the voter is independ

but if morp grooms would follow

tom would soon perish. The jus

ler fifty cents, and added fc(2.N7

probably concluded by this-time
that the rime fun was hardly worth
