UNION GO. FARMER j THINKS TONIC KILLED FINE BUNCH OF HOGS By WILLIAM R. SANBORN It has been some time since there have been any reports of dead hogs. from any so-called "tonic" either in Wayne or Preble counties, and now Union county hops into the lime light with a claim of hog losses, supposedly from the administration of three small doses of a tonic made at Kansas City. It is know, of course, that so far as Wayne county is concerned, all losers i of hogs who were "pestered" to pay for the hog tonic they wished to return, were advised by the farm federation officials to turn all such correspondence over to Gardner, Jessup and Hoelscher, who would make due reply as needed. A member of this law firm stated Monday that they had advised tne shipping back of the unused "tonic," regardless of the letters from the manufacturing firm, and that to date no suits for collection had been instituted by the Kansas City, Mo., concern. Union County Case Byron Nichols, of Union county, lost more than 20 young pigs, weighing around 35 pounds, within the past few days, and he ascribes his loss "to feeding 314, -ounce doses of the hog tonic made by the Columbian company at Kansas City, Mo." In an interview with Mr. Nichols Monday afternoon, he stated that he "was convinced that the tonic caused the death of this particular lot of pigs." About 50 per cent of those so fed died before he "could get a veterinary to aflminister a purge, after which the remainder of the hogs seemed to recover from the effects of the medicine." "At any rate," he said, "they commenced to die before I got to give them the fourth dose, so I quit on it. I found two dead when I went to feed early one morning. By noon six had died, and then they kept dropping off right along." Mr. Nichols said that he had used considerable of the powder from his first barrel, in limited doses, and that no deaths had resulted, so far as he knew. This barrel he sent over to his other farm' and had then opened his second barrel. "I noticed the difference at. once," he said. "The first barrel was in a powdered form; the second lot. was coarse and lumpy. This was the barrel that did the work."

All the deaths occurred within as he knew, "the pigs were in fine shape at the time of the first feeding." Hog Cholera on One Farm Mr. Nichols further says that just now the veterinarian claims that there is cholera on at least one of his farms, and all the hogs remaining since his recent sale of hogs, and not alrcydy vaccinated, were to be treated Tuesday. He reported no deaths from cholera up to Monday evening, however, but one sick hog was killed for oost mortem purposes and found to be Infected by the veterinarian, as he claimed. It is a fact that some Union county farmers lost a few hogs from- cholera, as was supposed, several weeks ago, and it is likely that the diagnosis of cholera on the Nichols farm is correct. Be this as it may, Mr. Nichols attributes the loss of a bunch of well pigs in so short a time to the minute doses of the tonic given them, regardless of what may now happen to the larger hogs on the supposedly cholerainfected farm. MORE COFFEE PERHAPS Abyssinia is the original home of the coffee tree, and in the highlands of that country there are immense forests of it that have never been touched.

A circular letter from farm federa - tion headquarters at Indianapolis, re - c.uests that all counties that are doing or planning co-operative buying, desist from making any contracts for the present. This is because that a statewide plan is being formulated, which is likely to be annonced shortly after tne big meeting or farm organizations, to be held during the coming week, at Indianapolis. This is likely to prove the most important meeting ever held by farmers in the entire country. It is understood, of course, that the co-operative buying under consideration rebought entirely by farmers, such as iertnizer, binder twine, farm machin-

While on of the most important purposes of the International Live Stock Exposition which is being held here is to promotebetter breeding of live stock and con sequently the production of bettei meat animals, even more' important than that perhaps, is the judging ol meat itself the result of better breed ing and growing activities. At the exposition this year, the judg ing of the carcass meat is being don by W. B . Margerun, a retailer ol Philadelphia. Prior to the show, individual cattle were slaughtered for the exposition Those carcasses represent what in the opinion of the expert buyers of the packers in the stock that will "dress out" to the greatest percentage and best quality of edible meat products Then at the exposition he determine? from -which of the animals has been produced meat of highest quality and finish, irrespective of the manner in which the animal has been fed or raised. Those carcasses as judged will then be placed on display at the Exposition, ro that live stock producers as well as the packers' repre sentatives and retail butchers may have an object lesson in the best kind of animal to raise, buy and sell, so far as its utility for meat alone is concerned. The judging of the carcass differfrom the judging of the animal on th hoof in that it does not take into consideration the fine points of breeding such as carriage and marking, or the quality of the hide or the worth of the other by-products. It is strictly thp judging of an animal on its merits athe raw product for meat. FAMOUS GERMAN SHIP TRANSFERRED TO FRENG (From Munsey's Magazine.)
