Where not to have the hog lot is pointed out and other sugges tions on the control and eradication of this disease are given In a leaflet published by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Hog' lots should be located away from streams and highways. Free range, streams, Irri gation canals, etc., help In the spread of cholera dutbreaks.

"We have never expe rienced a like -extremity at any period of the war," declared Washington,5 pleading that food be sent. There was a welcome Christmas, present for Washington ; and his men at New Windsor in 1780 when a big Christmas wagon came with over 2,000 mean trick fingers when I'm not wearing shoes. "In that way I am different from people, for whether they wear shoes or not they still, walk on their feet. "We're not as friendly as the Orang utan. Sometimes we are cross and sometimes we play a mean trick on those we are usually' good to, but we are very nervous and we cannot help It.
