Hog Cholera and plague.

Hog cholera and SWINE plague are
he principal diseases of hogs, that
appear in the form of an epidemic
nd that are considered very infec-
iOus and contagious. Both diseases
generally appear in any given out
;reak, burt the general name Of hog
hoIera is applied to such outbreaks
s well as to several other diseases
hat appear among hogs, says the
'lanter's Journal. 1t has been gen
rally recognized that hog cholera is
ue to a bacteria commonly desig-
.ated as the hog cholera bacillus.
his germ is present to great ex-
ent in the alimentary canal, and is
'assed from the body of the sick hog
n large numbers, and in this way in
ects lots and pens where the sick
logs are. Such infection may be
,asily taken into the body of the we'll
lnimaI with food and water, and in
his way soon infect the entire lot.
When the disease appears among
The hogs of a given locality, as on a
pens are infected. This infection
may be carried to the pens in a num-
Der of ways, but generally by means
of some sick animal or on the shoes
of persons who have been in pens
where sick animals ale. In any case,
the first thing to do is to move the
well hogs into fresh lots, and where
there will be no communication with
the pens where the sick ones are
kept. If others take sick, the well
ones should be moved again, as it
will do little good to move out the
sick ones and leave the others to
take the disease in the infected pen.
Washings from infected lots when
carried into streams, will spread the
disease to farms located further
down the stream, and hog raisers
should be especially careful Of their
water supply when the disease is in
the locality. They should not allow
hogs to take water from a stream
when the disease is known to be on
farms above them.
There has been great deal of
work done to find some cure or pre-
ventive for hog cholera. Certain
lines of work seem to indicate that
system of vaccination may be per-
fected that will act in a similar man
ner on hogs as a means of preventing
hog cholera as vaccination does on

part kerosene, adding about 20
drops of creosote to an ounce of the
mixture. Work this well into the
skin with hard brush, repeating
daily for two weeks or more in order
to destroy any new growth from eggs
Or spores. The disease is contagious,
and the stable where a NANCY animal
has been kept is dangerous to other
stock.
Experiments recently made in

Variety in feeding belongs to profit
able stock growing, whether swine or
other animals, but in connection with
variety there must be judgment used

Too marked change can only be fol

If you wish to keep eggs for any
length of time, store in cool, dry
place and turn them half over every
day. Unfertilized eggs keep best.
By packing in dry, salt and storing in
@ dark, dry, cool place, they can be
kept some time for cooking purposes.
A poultry-house should not be open
to the north and east if the hens are
to thrive
One advantage with the public dairy
will be found in the increased richness
of the farm, caused by the extra quail
ity and quantity of the manure made
on account of keeping more COWS and
giving them better feed.
Quality is placed last in the essen
tial points of fruit for market. Hardi-
ness is given first, next productive
ness, size, beauty, ability to stand
transportation, season of ripening.
A fiat roost is the best for hens, as
it, is the most comfortobl for their
feet and gives a good support when
the hens are crouching.

PLEASANT. BUT

There's no charm like moonlit waters
When you're drifting in a boat
Listening to the low voiced singing
Of the girl on whom you dote.
Dark, cool shadows slipping by you,
1t is great to idly dream;
Buff you insist on drifting
You must row the boat up stream.
. the sport there is in fishing
When another yields the oars
Safe from all the tiresome cackle
Of the ever talking bOres;
Or upon the bank reclining
In green and sheltered nook;
But-a bite means work to land it
And you have to bait the hook.
Meath a tree a hammock swinging,
In it's depths a man and maid;
O the rapture of the moment
When, by gentle Luna swayed,
Blissful thrills enthrall the senses,
Loving hearts responsive throb;
Butt means a lot of nonsense
If you want to hold the job.
o the joys Of country living
In some quiet rustic inn,
Where the eggs are never ancient
And the cream is never thin;
Where of milk and crisp fried chicken
You may daily have your fill;
But the landlord knows their value
And you have to pay the bill.

TO WORLDS FAIR VISITORS

Certain other Chicago st. Louis lines
have advertised freely in Chicago and
elsewhere that they land their passen-
gers at the Worlds Fair Grounds. Up
to short time ago they were using the
Rock Island Road to reach the Fair
Grounds. A recent order of the United
States Court prohibits the Rock Island
from handling the trains of other lines.
The Wabash is, therefore, the only line
that can handle Worlds Fair travel be-
tween Union Station. Page Ave-, and
The Worlds Fair Grounds. The Chi
cago-St. Louis lines referred to have ap-
piled for permission to run their passen-
gers over the Wabash tracks, which
permission has been refused. They will
be obliged to land their passengers at
Union Station, which is over five miles
from the Worlds Fair Grounds.
All Wabash Trains
to and from st. Louis, both regular and
special, pass and stop at the Worlds
Fair main entrance, where the Wabash
has it's own magnificent passenger sta
ton, with every facility for rapid hand
ling of passengers and baggage.
Between Chicago and st. Louis the
Wabash has
Four Daily Trains,
leaving Chicago at 8:45 A. M, 11:O3
A. NJ, GIT P. NJ and 11:30 P. M. The
11:O3 A. M. train is the Banner Blue
Limited, ''the latest and only finest day
train on earth" This train makes the
run from Chicago to st. Louis in seven
hours, reducing the usual running time
by one hour.

Better than anything indoors,

Facts for Our Farmers.

cattle to prevent bIack-leg. If such
a method is found to be reliable the
disease will be practically under con-
troll. The feeding and care that
hogs receive will do much to prevent
such diseases, as unthrifty herds are
the ones most likely to contract any
disease. Plenty of green feed, such
as cane, alfalfa, ETC., with a good sup
ply of fresh, clean water during the
summer months, will do a great deal
toward keeping hogs in the best pos
sible condition. The Oklahoma ex-
pertinent station, at Saltwater, has
devoted considerable time to the
study of hog cholera and the trans
mission of the disease by means of
the hog cholera bacillus. This work
has been principally along the lines
of producing immunity in the small
experimental animals and studying
the effect of the germ in the hog.
Old Orchards.
There sare many farms we'll suited
to sheep-raising which are not used
for that purpose because their own
ers raise other crops which are profit
able. During a recent trip taken by
a sheep expert, he passed through a
section where sheep were being
raised in old orchards, and he
promptly left the train to investigate.
1t was found that orchards, while
they we're still bearing good fruit,
were fast nearing an age when they
would be no longer profitable. New
orchards had been set, but instead
of abandoning the old orchards, the
ground had been seeded down and
turned into fine pastures for sheep,
which were doing finely. Not only
this, but it was found that the
orchards had taken on new life, and
were making a profit for their own
ers. There is point in this worth
aryone's attention under similar con-
ditions. In some sections sheep
raisers make a business of seeding
down and pasturing their orchards,
and while there may be some ques-
ton as to the wisdom Of this plan
with a comparatively young and
thrifty orchard, there can be no doubt
as to it's value in cases like that indi-
Gated.

Houses for Ducks.

My duck houses are two feet high
at back, eight feet deep, and only high
enough in front to clean easy, says a
correspondent of American Agricul-
turist. I never have over forty ducks
in one pen, and prefer thirty, for then
they will not get crooked breastbones.
Harvesting the Potato Crop.
The late crop is disposed of where
there is a nearby market at this time
by selling directly to families as we'll
as to grocers. The prices obtained
are often 10 cents a bushel above car
lot prices on track. The late crop
should be harvested as soon as well
matured, as there is usually danger
of loss by freezing after the middle
Of October. Unless the grower has
had experience in shipping and sell
ing his crops, he will probably do
grower who has the ability and ex-
perience to successfully sell his crop
will probably soon be a dealer and
not grower. Consignments are not
generally satisfactory, not because
the commission man is not as honest
as the rest of mankind, but for the
reason that he is buyer of potatoes
and has his own stock to sell first.
Then he has several large shippers
whose business is worth looking aft
er, so the farmers potatoes are Ii
some merchant whose trade is worth
giving him a bargain at the expense
Of the farmer.
Notes.
Mango is not a disease in the com
mon sense of the term, but is caused
either by a vegetable parasite or by
an insect, which grows in the skin.
There are two kinds, but both are
treated alike. The skin is first
washed with warm water, and car
bolic soap, to soften it and open the
pores, in which the parasites are i'm
bedded; it will help matters to rub
the skin with a corncob or some
thing rough to break up the vessels
and remove the crust. The parts are
then dried and rubbed thoroughly
