Avoid New. Treatment' for Hogs.

Avoid New Tre3tmont' Tor Hogs.
Bulletin &c, Indiana Experiment Sta
ton: Several years ago, when lectur-
ing before Indiana farmers institutes,
Mr.. S. H. Todd of Ohio advocated the
feeding of meat from hogs that had
died Of cholera to healthy pigs. The
claim was that feeding this diseased
flesh produced mild form of the dis
ease, and the pigs fed the same there.
after would be free of cholera. This
view advanced by Mr.. Todd caused
considerable comment. Apparently,
however, the method of treatment
adopted by him was not entirely a sue,
cess, for in March, 1899, he wrote the
undersigned that his hogs took sick
and died so easy. I say it was not
cholera. It was much worse. lost
forty head of hogs. This, however,
was perhaps just as much a case Of
cholera as many swine breeders re-
port on.
At the present. time an attempt is
being made by Indiana parties to sell
on the market much such method of
treatment as that adopted by Mr..
Todd. The claim is made that preg-
nant sows fed flesh from cholera-dis-
eased swine will have the malady in.
a mild form, and that the unborn pigs,
will also be affected, so that thereafter
they will be free from cholera and be
immune as it is termed While no
experiments have been conducted by
disinterested parties to prove the eff
fectiveness of this method, reasoning
from comparison, as shown by expert
ence with other diseases, both with hui
mans and animals, It is entirely I'M
likely that this method will prove a
preventive. Further, this station is in
possession of. facts proving that pigs
born from sows affected with cholera
while pregnant have died from the dis
ease long after. - :'f'- ~

horticultural Observations.

r There is to be big crop of fruit
this year, as the trees and vines are
setting very full with few exceptions.
If all the fruit on the trees is left to
grow, the harvest will show large
amount of very small fruit that will
bring almost nothing in the market.
The well-formed fruit of good size
will get the prices that pay the profit.
This is tho time for reading and cal
culating orchardists to consider if it
will not pay them to thin their fruit.
Il one-fourth the number of apples,
peaches or pears be grown on a, tree
that blooms full the weight of fruit
produced will be the same, and it will
sell in the market for more money.
Some of our enterprising orchardists
have been thinning their tree fruits
for many years, and have made that
operation a part OF their system.
What they have found profitable
others may initiate with hopes of like
success.
It is to be hoped that the time is not
far OFF when the producers of fruit Will
find some way of controlling the SALE
of it by the middlemen to the extent
Of seeing that the fruit. reaches the
consumer in as good condition as it
leaves the hands of the grower. It is
exceedingly discouraging to the am
bilious grower to know that II he
sends beautiful fruit to the Chicago
market it is more than likely to be
'repacked and used for facing poorer
fruit. 1t is one Of the problems that
will have to be settled by the collec-
tive action of fruit producers. The
consumers in the great cities will hail
the advent of such a day with glad
ness. At the present time Chicago
buyers have become almost hardened
to being swindled in fruit purchases.
One of the great reasons for the ex-
traordinary development Of the ba-
mana trade is that people are able to
purchase them without trusting to
luck. If a man gets swindled when
tty that is at fault, as he can see every
panama before he buys 1t. But with
most of our native fruit, like the
peach, man must view it through
red netting. II he pulls off the netting
and finds fne-looking fruit, when he
gets home he is likely to find inedible
green fruit making up the bulk of the
basket. One day last summer the
writer desired to secure basket of
the best peaches on the market. He
found a dealer with a large quantity
of fairly good. fruit. and with few
baskets of fancy peaches marked up
ITO fancy price. He was assured that
the price was high because all the
peaches in the basket were as good
as the ones on top. When the baskets
were opened at the home of the buyer
1T was found that the bulk of the
fruit consisted of green peaches the
size of walnuts, with just enough fine
peaches over them to conceal them
The result was in this case lessened
purchase of peaches, the preference
being given to fruit that could not
be dishonesty packed. az, ~ ~

Corn for Fodder.

Corn that is to be grown for fodder
should not be planted too close. The
old idea used to be to SOW it very
close under the impression that the
closer it was planted the more would
be produced on an acre. The opposite
is the fact to a certain limit. 1t
should be planted far enough apart to
permit each stalk to get a good
growth. This we'll developed stalk
will be able to make strong roots and
draw nourishment from soil further
down. When the corn is sown close
each stalk makes very meager
growth and the roots are small. The
feeding depth is curtailed at the ex-
pense of the total yield. The thick
ness of planting cannot be fixed by
an arbitrary rule, but must depend
on the strength of the soil and the
variety Of corn grown. But the fact
should not be lost sight of that the
stalks should be permitted to get
about their full development to be good
fodder. &, #. 1

Dairy farmers should hold onto
every calf that is likely TO make a
good diary COW. Just now, when veal
calves are abnormally high in price,
the temptation is great to let go OF
them. This is especially the case with
the man that is a little hard-up for
ready cash. The man that lets go of
promising calves now is depriving
himself of good dairy cows in the
years to come. The high price Of
calves today would seem to indicate
high prices for dairy cows a few years
hence. The money that is permitted
to remain invested in the dairy calf
will IN many cases prove exceedingly
profitable.

Poultry Notes.

The man that buys expensive eggs
for setting should examine them on
receipt to see if they are as fresh rs
could be expected. This is easy to do
by means of an egg tester, which any
one of our readers knows how to make.
In lookin at the egg, if it is
fresh the air space will be of ordinary
size. If the egg is shrunken on the
inside so much that the air space is
greatly enlarged the egg is probably
too old to hatch well or at all.

will do much good to the Republicans,
although 1t may be natural for the
British to do so. This position is taken
because of the general expressions Of

mated some years ago in the Province
of Shantung. which incloses the greater
part of the Southern and eastern shores
of the gulf of Pe-Chi-Ui. The societys
unavowcd purpose from the start has
been the harassment of Foreigners and
particularly Christians. Its direct wea-

blackmail as an incidental and effec-

authority and openly challenged the
government to suppress their organiza-
tion, secure in the Knowledge that the
defiance would be ignored and the chal-

OF long ycarS of rufiianism and out
