" There la Dot no much pneumonia now
as Ibcrc was last month and during tin;

' Malaria. liowever, is ou tlto increut.
Pneumonia is caused principally by the
carelessness of people, who, when they
find one spring-like day change their
clothing. Winter clothing should not
be uiateriaMy changed in thin climate
until good weather has come to sta;,
about the middle of May or the Ist of
June, ltsd drainage undoubtedly pro
duces malarial diseases, but it is Lut
well to doginatiiu upou the subject
wben we remember that the death rate
from malaria is very high on the llerk.
elure hills, in Massachusetts, where
drainage aoaroely enters into the con
sideration of disease. To eseape pneu
msuia people should be more careful in
spring than during winter, and to avoid
every appearance of ohill should not
change the quantity or quality of under
clothing until June.''
Dr. W. M. Toailinson, alto of the
Health Office, said; '-Soft weather as it
is called, is the principal eause of pneu
aiouia. People expose themselves
thoughtlessly, and wben tho first tine
day appears leave off ovareoa'.s or
change tbeir overcoat* or ehaoge their
underolothing. It it aot generally un
derstood, at it ought to be, that when
a lhair comes after A sever? cold spell
•e tie tuueh more apt to eatcb cold
than when tbe thermometer ts down to
teto. When the weather is very eold a
man who has taken exercise and is per
spiring may'set down, even in the open
air, with comparative immunity from
chill, but if it should be thawing the
tame man it apt to eatch a severe eold.
A process of evaporation it (ring on in
tbe Utter case, And the body throws off
heat in a way which renders our pecu
liarly liable to chill. People require
watm clothing more in spring than in
winter on aecooDt of tbe sudden and
dangeroas climatic changes. Cold baths,
wben lakon regularly and properly,
form a good preventive of coldt and
|«etimonia. By bathing properly is
ueait that a person should remain in
the water a very abort timo, and that
more rapid circulation tbould immedi
ately follow the bath. Those who can
not take a cold bath without experienc
ing a chilled sensation while dretsing
and afterward should not take cold baths
at all."-•Chicago Times.
CABK or COLD.
A'cold it a departure from hea'tb,
and should really be attended to at onco.
Do not let it cure itself. Oct rid of it
toon. Do not feed it, though, but
starve it. One eold after auotber
nearly alwaya ends in thickening of the
muoous membrane of Ibe bronohial
tubes, and before you are aware of it
you become the victim of a winter
eougb. The morning tub (cold, I meaiij

The neck should be kept cool. Keep

ference. Want of tleen and restless

removed. Tho trouble may certainly
arise froti over-work and worry com
bined, but iu most ease* the Htmuacli
and digestive system are the roots of
the evil. Nervous people worry most,
but they alto work moat. Woll, tho
question one is ine' t j*. himself
when he feels something wroug with his
health it. "Am I overworking myself ?"
I would answer thus : If you really en
joy wot king it cannot injure you very
touch; but, oti the other hand, if it is
forced, and you fiuJ little pleasure in it,
then it will tell on your constitution.
But many people ounuot afford rest.
Well, but wonders cun be douc by tak
ing exercise; by breath tig only fresh
air uigbt and day, indoors and out, and
by careful regulation of the diet. In
conclusion, let me entreat of you, as you
value your happiness, not to neglect
first departures from health. The sto

HOG CHOLERA.
There are several forms of tho dis.
ease, popularly called hog cholera, and it
may be pafel'y said that uo reuiedy, or
oure, has yet been discovered. Individ
ual animals have been kuowu to recover
from an a*.tack, or at least survive, and
tucli recovery is attiibntcd to remedies
employed, or the treatmaut given. But
it is ooubtful if iu any caso the disease
has yielded to treatment. Careful and
loti£ continued scientific investigations
have been m.ide, and the general result
is that it is practically useless to at
tempt to cure an animal that has been
been iufrotrct with tho disease. The
most ccunotuital and expedient course to
persue is to kill every hog in which the
disease has umuifested itself and will
not yield to treatment; buru or bury
deeply tho earoasses, and rely on pre
venting the spread of the plague by the
use of disinfectants, if a specially val
uable auimal should Desuuie affected, il
may bo well to attempt its euro, but
tbe sick should be at once widely sepa
rated irom tbe well. The following
prescription bat been used with sup
posed suoce -s :
2 lbs flower of sulphur,
'£ lbs sulphate of iron (copperas),
2 lb. madder,
1 lb black antimony,
t lb nitrate  f potash (sulphur),
2 oz arsenic.
M x the above in 12 gallons of gruel
for 100 hogs, or give one pint doses to
eaoh, daily. Give to both si.sk aud
well, where tbe latter have been ex
posed.
Not only should the sick be separated
from tho well animals, but eacu class
should be moved to new and clean quar
ters or pastures. Burn up the old
bods, sprinkle walls and floors of sheds
or styes with a solution of one pint of
pure carbolic acid to ten gallou of soft
water. All discharges should be buri
ed, or treated with a solution of oue
ounce of chloride of zinc to two gallous
of water. The persons who attend the
sick, should not have anything to do
with the well hogs. All lood aud wa
ter should be clean and pure. If these
directions ore faithfully follow ?d the
disease may be stayed in its progress
and stamped out. Ever) farmer should
see and inspect his bogs, as well all
other animals, every day, and act
promptly ou tho very first appcarauco of
disease.— Agricultural Rtport,

WEEDS OV THE FARM.
If there it any spot on the farm in
which weeds are pre-eminently out of
place it may be fouud iu the dooryards
nd around the sheds and oaros. Yet
tbit is the plaju where, ou agieut many
farms, weeds do m >et abound. Tbe
owners of these farms will not allow
weeds in their coin fields because they
injure the corn, took badly, aud till the
laud with foul seeds. Neither will they
have them in the & Ids from which they
obtain their hay crop. Some of them
go to far at to try by mowiug, or by
pulling by hand, to keep these intruders
out uf their pastures. AH are agreed
that in no cultivated spot on the farm
thould a wood be allowed to grow. Bui
a tingle glauee around the buildings of
mauy of thjse careful farmers gives
abunduut evidence that a weed in a
dooryard l* considered a very different
thing from a weed iu the field, ani it
Heated in a very differeut manner.
Here the nettles flourish, tho burdock
rears his stately form, and other docks
ind weeds without number, grow undis
turbed. These weeds give ti a farin a
woe-brgouc nppcurance for which no
amouui of cure iu the cultivation uf the
cultivation of the field can atone and
they reflect serenely upon the taste aud |
skill of the owner. They ought at once,
to be reiuovod. If let alone the bur
dock and begger's lico will soon become
troublcsoin* to every persou or animal
which comes iu contact with tucm, while
many other varieties will go t« seed au J !
thus provide for a supply in the future.
