 hivvo un odor of carbolic acid at all times. In fact a solution of carbolic acid 

 in water is used as a remedy for cliolera. Xiimberless recoi})ts, claimed to be 

 ''sure cure for cholera," are published, and more are advertised, but I would 

 advise no one to introduce the disease into his herd with the expectation of 

 linding he has a sure cure in any one or all of them. 



The outlook for the swine raiser is good. European nations /which long 

 have had a dislike to swine llesh because their own swine were so contemptible, 

 are becoming alive to the excellency, the economy of American pork. They 

 are losing their prejudice, and in them we think we see a growing customer, 

 that will be reaching out for our surplus pork for many years to come. I. 

 think it prudent then that we go on improving our stock, and we shall find 

 that just so fast as we get free from the idea that '' anything is good enough 

 for a hog," just so fast are we going to make the raising of swine a more pleas- 

 ant as well as paying business.
