A Great Gathering Of Missourian

A Great Gathering Of MissOurians,
The residents of the Inland EN-
pire who were former residents of
the state of Missouri have decided to
have a sort of annual home coming
day" once every year. The distance
to the former homes the state of
Missouri is so great as to make it
practically impossible for a very
large proportion Of them TO make the
trip, and it is their purpose to have
great annual meeting every fall in
the city of Spokane, where they can
come together TO renew the old ac-
quaintances, to make new ones and
to have a perfect day of rejoicing
surrounded by those who know best
how to make pleasant such a day.
The former Missourians now living
in Spokane and its vicinity have
asked the Interstate Fair manage
men TO set apart Tuesday, Septem-
Der "a, as the day in SPECIAL honor Of
the services rendered in promoting
the material growth and develop
ment of the Inland Empire. This
has been done and the day named
has been designated as Missouri
day. Many interesting and enter
tanning things are to be arranged
for the visitors on that day, but
probably the most Interesting to
every man and woman who lived in
that grand old state long enough to
become imbued with the hospitality
OF its people, of its own greatness,
will be the organization of a per-
manent society Of Missiurians. Leo
Walton. editor Of the Orator-Out-
burst. published at Spokane, is COM
piling sort of biography of every
man, woman and child whose name
he can secure that is now living with
in 200 miles OF Spokane, who was a
citizen or resident of the state Of
Missouri. and he desires that all Of
our readers send him at once the
full name, address. age and a short
sketch Of what each such former
resident has done since taking up
residence in the Inland Empire. 1t
would also assist him in that large
work and in the success of the or
ganization to have the name OF the
old Missouri home town or postofiice.
Arrangements are being made to have
one OF Missouri's most eloquent
statesmen address the visitors on
Missouri day" other features are
being arranged that promise to make
this one OF the very interesting and
long to be remembered days OF the
fair.

cleared up net profit of quarter
of million dollars. The attendance
was evidently large and the various
"privileges" which go with a race
track netted large sums But the
greatest profit was in the betting
ring. This from the Seattle dis
patch:
Every book paid 500 a race for
the privilege of selling pools, aud as
there were six races for five days :.
week and seven on Saturdays and
holidays. the average of % books
kept up during the meet. paid the
association more than 100000 for
the betting privileges.
In other words every book paid to
the association s120, and the 30
books therefore turned over to the
association S2160 daily. or total of
s1S4,920 for the meet. But this is
rot all. The Seattle report contin-

When book has to pay 1920 A

the employees are paid $40 to SIS
apiece. Either the betting public

amount for such AZ are found
necessary 10 kill and burn in
order TO prevent the spread
of hog cholera.
During the year 1900. 1901
and up TO October, 1902, there
were only two shipments of
hogs affected with cholera
from the State of Missouri to
all the public markets in this
country. During the fall of
1902 large number of stock
hogs were shipped into this
state u which To feed the
bumper corn crop OF that
year. AS every careful OBJ
server knows, many of these
shipments brought hog
cholera with them ind caused
outbreaks which spread over
whole counties. From Oct.
1902 up to the present time
there has been shipped from
this state to the public mar
kets $3.50 lots OF hogs affected
with cholera. OF my own
personal knowledge, l know
of one instance in which case
one of these shipments REP
resented a loss of $50, ZOO. 90
worth of hogs in the neigh.
borhood from which it came.
There is no way To estimate
the immense loss of hogs
from cholera IN this state
within the past five years. I
began calling attention Of The
farmers in all the agricultur-
al papers of this state, to the
eminent danger of the spread
of hog cholera as early AS
August 1902. again refer to
the subject for the reason
that many counties IN The
corn belt that are practically
free of hog cholera and by fol-
lowing the above recommen-
dations concerning the i'm
portion of stock hogs, they
may be kept so, thereby
avoiding immense loss.

Because we challenged the
Progress editor On two counts
recently and he won one he
seems 10 think the best way
to cover the other is To do a
lot of growing. The first
challenge was the genuineness
of IA letter. We offered $40
for a look at the letter If it
was genuine, which it proved
To be. We never stated that
the letter was not genuine.
The other challenge was
his circulation statement.
The Progress is given "a cir
culation of 1900 by the Ameri.
can Newspaper Annual, based
on statements of the editor.
The Republican Is given a
circulation of 400 in the same
book. Such u rating il very
unfair, AS this paper has 2OOO
subscribers and we offered
the Progress another $40 and
all the glory in connection il
he could show half that many
subscribers.
There is where the shoe
pinches. The letter was
genuine and the editor has
his S1O-thal's settled. Now
he can 60 after the other $40
or admit the rating false.
Throwing mud will not raise
a papers circulation.

Preventing Hog Cholera.

Heretofore hog cholera has
been allowed to run riot among
the hogs over this state and
an unlimited amount of dam.
nge. II has been generally
supposed that nothing can be
done 10 prevent IL. Nothing
is further from tn. truth. In
fact, If the farmers Of the
state willlayaside all prejudice
in regard TO the matter and
use the proper forethought in
handling hogs, the disease can
be prevented almost alto
gether. In view of the fact
that in the corn belt Of this
state there is now maturing
an immense crop Of corn and
that there will be II great de-
mand for stock hogs to which
to feed it, we may reasonably
anticipate the shipment Of
stock hogs from every direc-
lion into the sections of the
state where the corn crop il
good, and as ought to be ap-
parent TO every one, such
shipments are the principal
source of hog cholera. An
outbreak of hog cholera 10 a
neigh borhood in Audrain
county, an Investigation of
which l made yesterday, re-
vealed a situation which | fear
is common all over the state.
A history of the outbreak
which occurred in a neighbor-
hood where IA good crop Of corn
has been raised isas follows:-
Beginning early in the
spripg q cattle feeder shipped
in q lot of stuck hogs to his
place. The first shipment
begun dying and he immediate
|ly shipped all the hogs he had
To market. Following this
he shipped in another lot of
stock hogs with the same re-
suits. After waiting awhile
he shipped two other lots of
stock hogs which did not be-
come infected until they had
been fed for quite awhile.
He then made the 9Th inn
|pertati0p Of stock hogs and
placed them in his feed lot.

some six weeks when cholera

broke u among Cnem. Ac-|
cOrdiDg to his statement
sixty.nine head died within
four DAYS, when the whole lot
that still remained upon their
feet was started for market.
Six of these died in the ship
ping peus, twelve ON the train
and nineteen were condemned
in the yards. The hogs that
were too week To drive were
left behind in The feed lot.
Ties Sc we're burned after they
died but not until they had
plenty of opportunity to
spread the disease 10 the

ment was made in July. On.
the 9th Of October, eight of
his neighbour had lost over.
$500 90 worth of stock hogs.
counting their market value
at the time they died.
Although without a single en-
ception, those who lost all
their hogs and those who are
| now losing them, have burned
all that died, u very difficult
thing To do in "A community
where fuel is scarce, there is
no telling how far the disease
will spread from this point Of
infection, nor how great the
loss will be. Hog cholera
spreads in SO many different
ways that are beyond the
control Of man, that when IL
is once introduced into a
neighborhood it's control is
practically out of the ques-
ton. Therefore, l want to
strongly recommend the fol-
lowing course TO the farmers
in all of the corn raising CON-
munities:
In shipping stock hogs into
a community, place them in
the smallest lot or pasture
that will Accommodate them
and keep them there entirely
separate away from all other
hogs for thirty days. If dur
ing that time one or more OF
them dies from any disease
keep them SO isolated for
thirty days more before mix
ing them with other hogs. If
a disease, which appears To
be rapidly fatal, starts among
them, Immediately load up all
of the hogs winch are still APP
parently well, into wagon =
and haul them TO the station
and ship for immediate
slaughter. On returning dis
infect the wagons and the
drivers feet and hands by
saturating with u solution
made by dissolvlng one ounce
OF corrosive subiimate To each
eight gallons Of water. After
thus dlsinfecting, wagons
used in hauling the hogs may
be returned to any neIghbor's
place who helped move the
hogs TO the station without
any danger of carrying the
disease. The owner of the
diseased hogs should imme-
diately kill and burn all the
balance OF the lot and leave
the premises vacant until af.
ter very heavy rains or until
as much as two weeks of clear
sun shine, the longer the
better. 81
This course may raise many
serious questions, but l do
not advise it without consider
