Washington fittinat on Saturday last Sec retary and Sir Michael Herbert British ambassador a treaty providing lor the settlement Alaskan boundary question- The dispute baa been one of and of considerable tition By ttio treaty just signed it is provided that the question shall be for settlement to a com mission of six jurists three appoint ed by United States and three by Britain who shall mine the interpretation to be placed on the treaty of 183d between Great Britain and Russia which defined tie boundaries between British America and Alaska According to Mr of Toronto who it- is said has made exhaustive research on the subject the issues in dispute and likely to be submitted to the commission are as follows Whether the boundary line Is to be measured ten marine leagues from the Pacific Ocean or from the upper inlets bays and other waters International law seems to settle that these inland bays and other arms of the sea are a part of tlie territory of the py reign of the coast and that they are in the law governed by the same rules of- sovereignity as land coast Which channel along the coast is the Portland channel in the British authorities claim of the between tfie islands and the coast as the so designated by the treaty but the Boniinion understands con- cedes tbat the Portland channel designated in the treaty is Port- land channel as named by Vancou as It appears on the map of that territory v In an interview with a Star re porter Mr added that- should Canadas contention be tained the boundary line would cross the Lynn Canal at about thirty marine miles from the coast of the Pacific that it would give us all the eastern side of the bay from Seward City North and on the west- side from William Henry Bay north and would give Canada all the terrt- north A press despatch from Ottawa to the Toronto Telegram on Monday says If the Dominion Cab inet is to be represented in the ar- in connection with the Alas fcan boundary lion Clifford will be selected because he has made a study of the subject is also very likely that Justice Mills of the Supreme Court will be offered a position as one of the arbitrators Until the full details of the treaty are received here opinion upon than cannot very well be obtained There is however no doubt that the ques tion has been forced to the front the British in response to pressure from Washington it is therefore feared that the tribunal is more to the American than the Canadian If J he Americans dont get all that wont they can continue holding that which tbey have Such evidently is heir rea soning This Alaskan question is the only serious trouble between Great Brit ain and neighboring Republic and has prevented the settlement of mat ters of less importance between Can ada and the States But it is now rumored the Joint High Com mission will soon convene to consid er questions which include reciprocity the rights of American in Canadian water trie of the a at points the fishery in the

by the Dominion Department of Ag riculture for their benefit There Is no other disease so extremely and infect Ions am it can to healthy in an end less number of ways by direct contact and intermediary buildings railways platforms wag ons crates clothing boots of at tendants and the like The farmer should beware of quack medicines which are worse if possi ble than the disease and frequently lead him to commit the breach possible of quarantine regula tions In failing to report to the Gov ernment the existence of contagious disease in his allowing the dis ease to attack his entire herd and by disposing of only partially recovered to neighbors spreading the dis ease and Causing loss to oth ers breeder or feeder of pigs ought to arrange his premises so that he can divide

detention of all new purchases which they would be kept a few weeks to make sure that are free from disease the disease has been intro duced and discovered a herd mediate notice should be given to the Minister Apiculture who iil cause tovestigatf ops- to arid if the disease he tobe hog cholera the actually diseased pigs immed iately sUghtered and the carcases burped or buried deep with lime All contact will also be Immediate ly slaughtered If on postmortem the carcases are found free from disease they may be used for pork otherwise they will also be turned being paid for those actually diseased to the stent of onethird their value before they became diseased and for animals In contact three Quarters of their val ue Every pig oh the farm roust be killed and the premises thoroughly before inspector can is sue an certificate whioh must be accompanied by certificates of satisfactory disinfection thereaf ter the Minister may order the remov al of the quarantine The fiooring divisions and base boards of the pen should be removed and any baseboards with which the bogs have come-in- contact burned The surface earth or gravel of the pensshould be removed to a of six inches

will for an indefinite period varying according to During prevalence of thisdlseasetjie manure carefully collected from the piggeries and once mixed with lime and removed in watertight wagon boxes toan- in closed yard to which none of the ani mals on the farm have access This is more necessary on account of the impossibility of a harnyardor manure pile during hot weather or so long as frost lasts When used it should be plowed in not used as a top dressing Avoid the careless custom of throwing it in to a common pile in the barnyard over which all classes of stock root and trample it down for this is one of the means by which the disease is perpetuated and extended The bacilli adhere to the legs of the horses and cattle and by them are carried to the streams or rivers at which they drink rendering the wa ter infective to pigs miles distant Sick pigs if allowed to roam the barnyard and to root into stacks of straw render complete disinfec tion impossible Piggeries should have independent yards which should he large a single slope and exposure and they should be placed at some distance from the barnyard Orchards and small fields should be plowed after being freely covered with lime Lanes and fences should be cleaned in the same manner as the yard and the ground rails should he burn- The clothing of all persons who have attending to or engaged in kilting and burning the hogs should be boiled and their boots thoroughly cleaned and soaked in a solution of carbolic acid in the proportion of one part carbolic acid to thirty parts of water The pens buildings fences and other permanent struc tures should be thoroughly with steam or boiling water scrub bed with a rough brush and then given a coating of lime wash to ev ery five gallong of which a pound of commercial carbolic acid has been added By aid of a spraying pump cracks and corners may he reached better than by the To be ef fective requires to be done most thoroughly After cleansing and disinfecting expose the premises to sunlight and air freely for about three months before placing pigs in them Visiting should be curtailed as much as possible while the disease exists and until the cleaning has been com pleted because the disease can be carried on the boots Homes or dogs from neighboring farms may carry infection to other farms and should therefore be prohibited from entering the premises There Is no other contagious please of domestic animals that requires for its eradica tion so much persistent cooperation between the the veterinary inspectors It is a disease that cannot and must not be trifled
