An article in the United States De

fines the term iubrecding and discusses
the use of inbrccdng in the improve
mcnt of animals, the different degrees
of inbrecding In plants, and its effect
on their ycgetativc vigor and fertility.
The beneficial effects of inbreedng in
tobacco and the detrimental effects of
inbreeding in corn are discussed. 1t IS
stated that iubreeding In tobacco is an
effective means of maintaining dcSir-
able characteristics In the established
varieties. while cross fertilization with
i'm the varieties reduces uniformity and
decreases vigor. 4 method of corn
breeding to avoid inbrecding is de
scribed and Illustrated. The author
inclines to the belief that the improve
ment of our crops can be most rapidly
effected with permanently beneficial re
suits by following the practice of in
breeding. or crossing. TO the degree in
which these methods of fertilization
are found to exist naturally in the kind
of plant under consideration.

Hog cholera has long been a cause of
heavy loss to the farmers, ana for years
scientists in the Department of Agricul-
ture have been working on the prob
lem of the cause and prevention of this
disease. Recent work Of the bureau of
animal industry has demonstrated that
the contagion consists Of q virus which
exists in the blood and other fluids of
diseased animals, hut which can pass
through the finest filter; is invisible
under the microscope. and therefore
cannot be isolated or dis.rlwed by any
of the usual methods
This important discovery. which has
since been confirmed by eminent scicn-
tifc authorities in England and on the
continent of Europe, affords mn cXpla-
nation of the failure of past efforts to
produce a satisfactory vaccine
The bureau has conducted expert
mcutS with a view TO producing a vac
cine of serum which will prevent or
cure the disease. Successful results
have been obtained il an experimental
way, and efforts are now being made
to adapt the method to practical and
general use.
The method has been patented by
the department in the name of the sci
enlist who evolved it. pr Marion Dor
set, the patent having boau taken out
in such manner rs 'o insure to all
the people in the Unt,cl states the
right to its use free Of royalty.

To make hay of prime quality west
Of the Cascade mountains is often a
difficult matter, says farmers bulc-
tin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture Most OF the
hay crops, if allowed 90 mature nat
urally are ready to cut during the
month of June, while the late spring
rains are usually not over until the
LIST of July. Thus haymaking would
naturally occur at time when good
weather cannot always Zoe relied upon.
Even when the weather Is fair the
nights are cool and daa~ are frequent
and heavy This difficulty IS often
partially overcome by pasturng the
