County voted SO, 900 for the con
struction Of an institution to care

measure only carried by eight
majority, which indicates a divis-

is a question if any single county
in the state can care for it's incur
ables more economically than
they can be cared for by the
state institutions, but it brings
the expenditure of the funds a

Following is a Nebraska dem
ocratic editors disquisition on
thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving, ah, yes, this is
Thanksgiving day, but wherefore shall
poor Democratic editor rejoice and
be exceeding glad? Why should he,
of all men, make joyful noise unto
the Lord? When be sees the forces of
evil triumphant, when he sees the gen.
tie gospel of the Son of God supplant-
ed by thesmessage Of the Gatling gun
why should he give thanks? 1t is not
enough to arouse gratitude to know
that he is alive. Life under some cir
cumstances is scarcely worth the liv-
ing: if what the preachers tell us is true
staying in this world of sin is cause
for grief rather than JOY and we should
be thankful rather for release from an
earth full of republicans and sinners.
But the picture is not all dark. There
are still some spots of brightness
where the sunshine of gladness light
ems our clouds Of gloom. We are not
to divide among the hungry. We have
no patronage to distribute, therefore
we are free from the fawning Of the
| lick-spittles who would willingly bar
ter their souls for the crumbs that fall
from the official tables. We have not
been called upon to attend to the bust
ness Of the public, therefore we have
all the more time to attend to our own.
We have not been selected to make
the laws that govern our country,
therefore we are not charged with any
responsibility save that of good citi-
zens. We have not made any con-
tracts to furnish full dinner pals,
therefore we will not be execrated for
promises unfulfilled. Yes we can still
be thankful as we sit facing fat tur-
key and lift our hearts in praise to the
Giver of all good things; thankful that
we are still the uncrowned soyereigns
Of the greatest country in the world in
stead of servants of an ungrateful peo
Pile; thankful that our consciences are
clear, having delivered our message to
q wicked and perverse generation,
even though that message fell upon
unheeding ears like the good seed that
fell upon stony ground, which needs
but the coming of rain to make it yield
an hundred fold? Thankful, should
, say wes are most thankful, If not for
victory perched upon our banners,
then for q most thorough temporary
licking, which whets our appetite for
the Thanksgiving in which we rejoice
over the triumphs to be achieved four
years from now.

tremely dangerous. The land slopes
away so abruptly from the reef that
an anchor will not grapple, and for
this reason a number of large moor
ing buoys are anchored just outside the
reef.
Approaching the island from the
western side, the large white buildings
of the Houlders Bros, a guano firm, of
London, to whom the guano deposit
was leased, can be seen fourteen miles
from shore. If a ship should be at the
buoy there, she can be seen for an
hour before the island zones into

From this side the island presents
a pretty picture, with the white houses
nesting in the arms of the surround
ing greenery IN top of the reddish
coral cliff. High above them all waves
the stars and stripes. But not always
does that flag wave there. 1t is used
as a signal to incoming ships, as we'll
as a symbol of our ownership.
From November to April it is prac-
tically impossible for a ship to APP
proach the island, and during the
other months of the year a landing is
not always possible. This is entirely
due to the strong current around the
island. When a vessel approaches the
land she hoists the lack at the fore

Cooperative Dairying in Belgium.

bers. An interesting feature of this
development is the fact that it has
taken place for the most part among
the peasant farmers, the average num-
Der of COWS owned by the co-operators
being barely three per member. But

societies, and their output of this con

Bogus Hog Cholera Serum.


The veterinarian Of the Indiana
Agricultural Experiment Station points
out that agents of cholera medicines in
White, Warren, Pulaski and Fulton
counties, Ind, are claiming that they
sell goods recommended by the station,
and agents in Marshall and Kosciusko
counties claim to be agents of the
Indiana State Board of Agriculture.
All agents making such claims in any
part of the state are frauds, he says,
and should be prosecuted. This is a
timely warning and one that readers
of The Farmers Review will do we'll
to bear in mind when agents come
along claiming to possess and use
serum made by the government or state
psychologists. The United States
Department of Agriculture has an
nounced success in the preventive
treatment of hogs against cholera with
serum which they have made and used
to inoculate hogs and we now expect
10 hear from all sides that unprin-
cipled men are out among the farm
ers claiming to have authority from
dire disease will surely follow in their
those mentioned to inoculate hogs. The
wake, for they are using some fcti-
tious dangerous serum which has been
mechanically prepared from the
active virus of hog cholera. Should
such men visit the homes of Review
readers Wa trust that they will be re-
quired to show signed credentials from
those they claim to represent before
they are allowed to WELD their squirt
guns among well hogs. A little learn
ing is a dangerous thing and one In
not be too careful in experimenting
with alleged serums which are far more
likely to do harm than good. We have
abundant faith that the government
will eventually make it possible for all
farmers to prevent hog cholera among
their hogs by incubation with bona
f1de serum, but just at present we
warn our readers to fight shy of all
but authorized agents of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry or state ex-
pertinent stations.
