The hog cholera problem is ever pres
ent and 1t is not improbable the time
will come when this disease can be sue
cessfully treated or at least held within
bounds, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The so-called new treatment for hog
cholera, that of feeding the meat from
swine dying of cholera to healthy pigs,
Is the subject of the latest bulletin sent
out by the agriculture experiment sta
ton at Purdue University. Indiana.
The claim made was that feeding this
diseased flesh produced a mild form Of
the disease and pigs thus fed would
hereafter be free from cholera. This
theory was advanced several years ago
and caused considerable comment. Di-
rector Plumb however, concludes the
method of treatment not entirely sue
cess, according to the testimony at his
command. The experiment station does
not indorse this method of treatment
and distinctly so states. Hog cholera
is contagious disease, and when once
1t secures foothold in herd, usually
runs Its course, and after much fatality
pecolueS luoEe VI less eAuucl, especidlly
where serious attempts are made to
stamp out the disease. Thus far no
certain remedy, based on an extended
trial. has been brought out. The In
diana experiment station will indorse
no hog cholera remedy now on the mar
ket, and the most we can recommend
is absolute cleanliness about the pig
yards and lots and the liberal use OF
disinfectants."

steers ate /, los pounda o: dry corn and
554 pounds of fodder to make 100

corn soaked until 1t began to soften
gained 100 pounds on 93S pounds OF
corn and 512 pounds of fodder Here
was saving of 167 pounds of corn and
AZ pounds of fodder. At another trial
with steers in pasture and hogs fol-
lowing them to ent the corn in the drop
pings. steers and swine gained 100
pounds on T91 pounds of dry corn,
while where corn was soaked for an
other lot they got the same gain from

corn by soaking. In test lately made
Mt the West Virginia Station with two
lots of pigs, one on soaked corn and
the other on corn meal wet to a mash,
3.So pounds of corn made as much gain
as 40 pounds of meal. or saving of
80 pounds of meal to 10 pounds of pork.
In German experiment with sheep
those fed on dry corn made more gain
than those that had soaked corn. We
should expect it to lie profitable to soak
corn for hogs or cattle, but not for
sheep or hens.

Here is a convenient and economical
feed barn. Above the triangular hop
per, which extends the length of the
building, is floor with traps, through
which feed can be placed in the hopper
and evenly distributed throughout its
length. There is a door, closed in the
cut, by means of which the hopper can
be fed from the wagon. The hopper
opens into a trough, from which the
cattle feed as the grain descends. The
projecting roof affords all the protec-.
ton needed for cattle in southern lati-
tudes. For cotton seed the throat of

Exnenses al, the sultan.

The yearly expenses of the Sultan
have been estimated at no less sum
than $30,0OO,000. OF this $7,5OO,OOO
alone is spent on the clothing of the
women and 100000 on the Sultan's
own wardrobe. Nearly $7,5OO,OOO is
swallowed up by presents, S5,0O0,OOO
goes for pocket money and still anoth-
err 100000 for the table. 1t seems in

Handling Corn Shocks.


The report Of the Kansas State Board
Of Agriculture says where hand labor
is plenty the standard price for cutting
corn by hand is cents per shock, four
teen by fourteen hills square, without
board, or so cents per acre. as there are
sixteen shocks of this size per acre.
Corn should always be cut on bright,
clear days, or on such a day as is good
to cure hay in. Two men should work
together, and the shocks should be
started on jack, which is made by put
ting two legs, well braced together,
near one end of q 1O-foot scantling, and
having an auger hole near the upper
end for broom handle. AS soon as
four armfuls are set up against the jack
the shock should be loosely tried with
a stalk and the jack removed. AS soon
as the shocks have thoroughly cured,
say two weeks after cutting, those that
are to be stored in the barn should be
baled under G,00O pounds pressure and
tied up with wire Common hay -baling
Wire. one wire will tie up two shocks),
and those that are to be fed from the
field can be pulled up tight with rope
and pulley and tied with binding twine;
the Irvine should be saturated with coal
oil to prevent mice and insects from
destroying it. Eminent professors have
agreed that it only takes one and half
inches of rainfall to wash all traces of
digestible matter out of shock of al
falfa, and corn shocks are also affected,
but not to SO great degree. They have
also agreed that well-cured corn fodder,
put under a good roof without having
had any rain on it, is in every respect
just the same as ensilage. except the
water content, and it is only necessary
to cut it and add water to secure food
identical to ensilage without the cost
of n silo, with its short life, and also
without the 90 to % per cent waste that
mold causes in the corners of the silo.-

Branching Celery.

In the market garden all sorts of
schemes have to be followed to save
labor in blanching the PLAINTIFF art OF
removing the natural bitter quality. AT
times the plants are set close together
so as to partially shade one another,
and finally boards are set upright
against the plant in the rows. AT other
times albino varieties are employed that
seem blanched because they develop no
green or chlorophyllous matter in their
structure. But the bitter taste remains.
To have good celery the process Of
earthing up must be continuous. II
requires a very rich soil, and If plenty
of water can be given SO much the bet
ter, says Meehan's Monthly.

Value of Wet Land.

s'Don't worry because you have wet
piece of land on your farm" says j. s.
Trigg, of Iowa. 1.-The chances are that
1t is by all odds the most valuable tract
of land on the farm. Study how it may
be most economically and advantage
ously drained, and then tackle 1t. The
richest lands In Europe are the reclaim
ed farms wrested from the bottom of
the North Sen in Holland. The redeem
ed peat boys Of Minnesota give fields of
inexbaustible fertility. The muskrat
Dogs of Iowa will grow eighty bushels
of corn to the acre when drained. The
wet lands of the Northwest, upon which
settler would have starved to death in
an early day, now ditched and reclaim
ed, are richer and more productive than
those of the historic delta of the Nile.
Give us bogs before gravel knobs, wet
flats before limestone ridges. a black

will thrive, and stock means money for

Hessian Fly Solved.

The Hessian fly problem has been
solved, according to newspaper re-
ports. A farmer in the central part of
Missouri thinks he has discovered how
to keep the fly out of his wheat at a
moderate expense. Just as wheat was
coming up last fall, he scattered COM
mon salt over half IL field. leaving the
other half without any. He used about
a bushel Of salt to the acre. He says 1t
worked like a charm. The part of the
field sailed has good stand of wheat,
entirely free from fly, while the other
half is badly damaged. Another man
says he prevented damage from fly by
sowing a barrel of air Stacked lime on
fifteen acres as soon as the wheat came
up, repeating the process at intervals
of few days.

Died Recently.
Prince ASsEed Ernest Albert, Duke
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who died
recently, was the younger brother OF
the Prince of Wales. He was born at
Windsor Castle on Aug. 6, 1914, was
prepared for the navy and entered that
service as cadet in 1858. He served
at various foreign stations and became
fond of his profession of sailor. In 1862
the Prince was offered the throne Of
Greece, but declined. In that same
year he was created Duke of Edin-
