VAcclNATE FOR BLAcKLEG
Everything Possible Should Be Don,
to Prevent Losses.

Saltwater, o. r., Dec. 1s.-The expert
ment station has issued the following
bulletin:
Cattle are low in price but there is
thus all the more reason for doing all that
is possible to prevent losses by disease.
BIackleg will continues to cause much
loss in Oklahoma in spite Of the fact
that this disease may be entirely pre-
vented by the very simple operation of
vaccination. For the past fouur years
The experiment station at Saltwater has
been furnishing the required vaccine free
of charge and the distribution is still
being continued. About a year ago it
issued bulletin giving fun details about
1siackleg and the manner in which the
operation of vaccination is performed
This bulletin will be sent by the station
10 all who wish information about the
disease
The work of vaccination may be done
by anyone who will carefully follow the
simple directions which accompany all
vaccine sent out A heavy hypodermic
syringe is necessary for injecting the
vaccine. This and the other necessary
articles for preparing the vaccine for in
lection are furnished by the station ct
cost One outfit will last for years ard
often several farmers go together and
buy an outfit for their use. The cost
of the outfit by mail or prepaid express
is $3.50.
Blaclleg is an infectious disease and
animals dead from it should be burned
or buried deeply without skinning, the
infection is spread with the hide and
blood and, since the blackleg germ lives
for long time, further losses are as
sured whenever conditions are right for
the propagation of the disease. Usually
only animals under two years of age die
of blackleg and in most cases only the
fattest ones are attacked by the disease.
All requests for vaccine should be ad-
dressed to the experiment station, Still

LARGE ACREAGE OF WHEAT
Dry Weather Will Cut 1t Short, At
fectinq Cattle Movements.

Guthrie. o. T., Dec. 16.-Dr. Leslie j..
Allen. the federal cattle inspector, was
in the city yesterday and in speaking of
the movement of the cattle in the terri
tory he said:
Before the beginning of the present
open season it was thought that the
movement into Oklahoma from below the
quarantine line would pe heavy on ac-
count of the large acreage of wheat.
However, Since the lack of rain has cut
the acreage short, the movement has been
very light and 1 believe has mallen far
below that of last season. Another rea-
son. perhaps, for this light movement is
the better quarantine regulations, the cat
tie being required to pass inspection at
both the federal and territorial lines. The
cattle are in fairly good condition and
the movement out of Oklahoma to the
northern markets has been unusually
heavy"

few Of these old varieties are showing
great deal of merit in some localities
and are worthy of extensive tests The
Rutter pear has been found to be case
of this mistaken identity This is an
old variety but new to most people and
promises TO become very popular pear.
The Winesap apple has also passed for
the Arkansas Black and has therefor won
much favor for the latter unworthy yarie
ty. Many of these mistakes are the re-
suit of fraud by tree peddlers. one varie-
ty having been sold and a different and
more common one delivered IN its place.
In some eases this has worked to the III
timate BENEFIT of the farmer. as in the
case of selling Arkansas Black and de-
liyering Wfnesap, instead. In most cases
howeverff where substitution has been
made without the knowledge of the buyer.
cheap and inferior varieties have been
used.
A variety of real merit and of doubtful
identity should be Identified and called
by its proper and Original name, but if
it cannot be identfhed with reasonable
xependiture of time aud effort. q name
should be given it and it should be pro-
pagated and placed upon the market 1t
is more satisfactory to have all fruit
named but the name should always be
held secondary TO the real value of The
fruit Many varieties will prove Of value
only in small localities. but are none the
less valuable for home use.
Bulletin No. 50 of the experiment sta
tion at Saltwater Oklahoma contains
information Of much value TO all who are
interested in fruit growing.
