A PORPOISE DRIVE IN THE.

lfl the grey dawn of the early morn-

Aram, writes "Wee Bobbie" in all
,Australian impel% The people were
"greatly excited; one after another
they rap to the edge of the jagged

the breakers. The village chief had
been my cook -boy at Bundaberg in
the days of the old sugar -growing
Kanaka; on the death of his father
he by night of birth becaine chief.
I went ashore and my welcome was
complete. Rako (or Davie, as he was
called in Queensland) brought all his
tribe to look on the face of his one-
time master in the country where
food was 'good and the "bullainuicow
plenty."
"What's the matter?" 1 asked.
"Altogether buy he run about throw
something along -a sea."
RA° told me. They were about to
hunt the porpoise --the medieine-man
had spoken. And it was the custom
of their tribe that every vestige of
fish in the village, whether in the
houses or rutting in the rubbish
heaps, should be east into the sea, or
the devil -devil would rise ilk anger
and cause the seapigs to go deep down
where neither the clicking of the
shells nor the beating of the paddles
could be heard.

The symptoms of salt poisoning in
swine are violent vomiting, and a
succession of convulsions, followpd by
stupor, unconsciousness and deaths.
Less severe symptoms are seen if the
amount of salt or brine consumed
was comparatively small, and prompt
treatment may save such a hog. It
consists in -giving something that will
cause free vomiting. Sulphate of
zinc is effective, the dose being ten to
fifteen geains in water. If scouring
is acute, give fifteen to twenty grains
of subnitrate of bismuth at short
intervals until effective. The pois-
onous dose of• salt for a'horse is two
or three pounds; for cattle, four to
five pounds; for the pig, seven to
eight ounces, and for the dog six to
seven ounces. Chickens are poiaon-
ed by picking up bits of rock sal;
instead 6f gravel, or by salted feed.
Sheep would he poisoned by a dose
of around one pound or less. Salt-
peter is more deadly for sheep, thu
toxic dose being about one and one -
1 half ounces. Dry saltpeter is most
to be feared. In solution it is less
dangerous, but even in that form we
do nut care to give more than one
dram at a dose to an adult sheep.

Like a kingfisher from a stump
went a native from one of the canoes
and returned with a black carcase in
his arms, rescued from the soft 'silt
of the shallow river.
The sun was low in the west when
the natives gave up their search for
smothered porpoises. Seventy lay
on the sand side by side, all save five
pulled from the silt. The women were
1?ringing in loads of firewood carried
on their backs, with a band across
the brow. Young boys were carrying
banana leaves; old men squatted by
the fish, chewing betel -nut and grunt-
ing their approval; old women cut up
the catch: and savage sharks, with
gaff -topsails set, tacked up and down
the beach waiting for the offal. The
young men of the tribe sang as they
hanuieni the canoes into the sheds,
and the strums beat the glad news
that a catch was landed. Natives
from neighboring villages came to
barter: the women loaded down with
yams, taro, sweet potato and beetel-
nut; then men sauntering with
spear or empty Snider. The fleet,
for the cooking were lit; the sea -
pigs were cut up and spread out on
banana leaves; children played with
decorated dance -sticks or shook nut-
shells on their ankles.
The blazing cooking -fires threw
weird shadows on the palm -leaf huts.
The medicine -man rose. All were
silent. "Listen," 'he said, "to the
voice of the wise one. Did I not go
forth among the enemies of your
fathers and gather the herbs beloved
of our devil that he might be ap-
peahed, so he would send fish in

POISONING BY SALT.
It seems that many owners do not
know that meat brine is extremely
poisonous to hogs, and for that reason
losses are censiderable every year.
Not long ago a swine breeder put two
handfuls of stilt in a barrel of slop
and. without stirring at once, fed it
to pigs, and then gave the last buc-
ketful to his fine, ne,w, expensive
boar. The salt had not had time to
dissolve, so that practically all of it
Was in the last bucketful. It killed
the boat. in short order. Too much
salt, therefore, may prove poisonous
as well as meat brine. The latter,
however, is most deadly to swine.
Half it pint of meat brine, or fish
brine, will kill, a hog. Brine that has
"aged" is most dangerous. It prob-
ably contains some toxin or ptomaine,
in wide:en to salt, and the combina-
tion proves deadly. It takes seven
to high) minces of voinmon salt to
kill a pig; if the salt happens to con-
tain impurities, less is necessary.
Some salt has been found to contain
barium salts, which are poisonous.
One sample of cattle salt analyzed
at the West Virginia Experiment
Station was found to contain 11.30
per cent. of barium chloride, and an -
ether sample, submitted as a fertil-
izer, contained 16.20 per cent. -Safe
salt should contain no barium chlor-
ide. Rock salt is likely to be impure.
Dogs also are killed quickly by meat
brine. It should be pored on burdock
patches or other noxious weeds in-
stead of going into the swill barrel.
Care al -os should be taken not to
feed ton much "medicated" salt to
stock. There are many reports of
hogs being poisoned • thereby, al-
though the owners had no suspicion
of the true cause. Hogs only need
salt once a week, and need not have
