PREVENTING THE RAVAGES OF
HOG CHOLERA.

Very much has been written on the
subject of hog cholera. The matter
has been studied by government COM
missions, by veterinarians, by swine
growers and by others generally in
terested, yet the results of their studies
are of little practical value ia the way
of a remedy or remedies. The writer
is one who is very firmly of the opinion
that preventive methods are the only
ores entitled to serious consideration.
The foolishness and unscientific meth
DDS of growers are and have been large
ly, if not exclusively, responsible for
the ravages of this disease in the swine
herds of the West and South. Exclu
sive corn feeding and unsanitary sur
roundings have made our swine pecu-
liarly susceptible to disease. we be.
lieve it is impossible to rear and fatten
a hog on an exclusive corn diet and
have him healthy. Then again, the
breeders have thus given us an animal
which is not robust or in a condition to
resist disease. He is simply mass Of
obesity, lacking in muscular develop
ment and constitutional~-a ready prey
for any contagion to which he may be
e7 posed. IL the low price Of wheat
and the comparatively high price or
corn will continue another year, thus
stimulating the practice of feeding
more wheat and less corn, it will be a
bIessing in disguise to the swine grower.
We believe that it is an easy problem
to soi7e-that of avoiding the disease
if preventive hygienic methods are
used. Give hogs range in summer,
grass and water. more wheat and other
Cereals, with less of corn, and we shall
in one or two generations of hog life
have practically wipe d out this scourge.
The normal condition of our domestic
animals is health, and if we care for
them in q proper manner they will not
get sick; but it is useless to violate
6ature's laws and hope to escape the

RISE OF THE BEET SUGAR IN
DUSTRY IN THE u. s.

IL has required nearly a century to
develop beet sugar in Europe until it
has become the controlling element in
the sugar supply of the world. In
these latter days events move much
more rapidly. 1t was some thirty
years or more ago that experiments in
beet sugar production were made in a
regularly built sugar factory at Chats
worth, Ill and now we fud that Cali,
fornia is coming to the front with a
beet sugar production equRlling the
cane sugar production of Louisiana a
generation ago, and giving promise of
future development beyond any pres
sent conception that most of us have of
it. AS the sorghum plant seemed
wonderfully we'll adapted to the some
what arid lands of Kansas, so the sugar
beet seems to find natural habitation
in California. Wherever it has been
raised there the beets have been found
to be of a superior excellence, the linn
tied amount Of rainfall really conducting
to improve the quality of the beet. In
this issue will be found report of a
committee of Californians who have
been investigating the development
there of the beet sugar industry, and
the whole subject matter is 80 thor
oughly we'll treated that it will be
found extremely interesting to all who
are interested in the sugar industry.
A generation Or two hence may find
the centre of the sugar industry of
America transferred from the low
lands of the Gulf to the drier lands of
California. Louisiana Sugar Planter.

ancestry, you may expect a colt that
will pay for his raising, but not other

brood mare, be the sire what he will.
