Control of HOE Cholera.

Scattered outbreaks of hog cholera
are present in many sections Of the
country. These outbreaks, and infect.
ed yards as well, are the centers from
which the disease spreads. Another
important factor in perpetuating the
disease from year to year, is the feeding
OF infectious material to hogs In order
to immune them. Such methods of i'm.
munization cause light form Of the
disease, the germs become scattered
about the yards and the health OF
neighboring herds is endangered, says
r. A. Craig, author of a Perdu bulle-
tin.
In neighborhoods where outbreaks Of
hog cholera occur, stockmen should
practice such precautions asiare nee
cessary against the spread of the dis
ease. This control work should not be
left to the owner of the diseased herd.
When this disease occurs on farm
the herd should be Quarantined and
all precautions taken against the
spread of the infection to neighboring
herds. The diseased animals should
not be scattered over the farm, or al.
lowed to run in yards that border on
streams, and hogs that have chronic
form Of the disease must be prevented
from straying away or mixing with
neighboring herds. Other farm ami
mails should not be allowed to run
through infected yards, or litter al
lowed to accumulate In the yards.
The hoghouses, feeding floors, ETC.,
should be cleaned daily and disinfected.
The most convenient and practical disin-
fectants to use are the tar dlsinfectants
or stock dips. These may be used In
from two to four per cent water solu-
lions. The final cleaning up of the
premises must be thorough. All litter
should be burned, or placed where 9TH
er animals cannot come in contact
with it. The dead hogs should be
burned.
The Veterinary Department has been
experimenting with hog cholera vac
cine during the past year. The vac
cine used was prepared from the tis>
sues Of rabbits that died from inocu.
lation with blood Of a cholera hog
The results of this method Of confer
ring immunity have been satisfactory,
and tbs vaccine will be tsstsd IN ths
dsld NJ ccmirs sssson.

KnLLING A BEAR.

A boy named Hiram Frayson, liv.

most curious adventure a few weeks
ago. He was out hunting with shot
gun on his shoulder. Unknown to
him, a bear struck his trail and fol-
lowed him.
The beast was within twenty feet
Of him and was getting ready to move
up and attack, when the hammer OF
the gun caught on the limb OF tree
and was drawn back, and the weapon
was discharged.
The boy heard a roar and growl
behind him and looked around to find
a big black bear kicking his last. The
charge OF shot had nearly blown his
head of. He wasn't out bear-hunting
that day, but he got one so big that

THE SINGING OF THE CHIP.
MUNKS.

The SINGING OF THE CHIP.
MUNKS.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or Sec
ond week OF April. that is, as soon
as warm weather has surely set In.
The regularity with which they APP
pear, with the earliest soft wind of
spring. sets me wondering at times
whether there is not something more
chan mere verbiage in the phrase
"yernal influence" Snug in their
deep, dark abode, far beyond the
reach of sun or frost, they cannot
be reached or touched by mere tenn.
perature, nor can 1t be that they APP
pear at set time, as some OF our
winter sleepers are said to do. No.
they must come forth on the very day
when first the very spring is in the
land.
The chipmunk announces its return
to sunlight in manner worthy of a
bird. Mounted on some log or root,
1t re!terates a loud chirpy "Chuck-
ehuck-chuck." Other chipmunks run
for their holes, for they awaken al
most in body; they run forth into
the sunlight, and, seeking some perch,
add their "Chuck-chuck-chuck" to the
spring salute, so the glad news
spreads from point to point, from
stone pile and log heap, to brush
heap and fence summing all the race
to come forth and take part In the
national rejoicing.
DR.. Charles Eastman informs me
that in the wooded parts in Minnesota
the coming forth of the chipmunks Is
a recognized event among the young
Indians and is celebrated by special
hunt AS soon as the bright warm
days of spring arrive to make it pos
sible. the boys go forth between sun
rise and 9 o'clock to some we'll
known chipmunk haunt, where one
Of their number who is adept in
Initiating the cheature's notes. be-
gins the chorus with loud chirping.
The chipmunks pop out OF their
holes on all sides. LAS many as

social reunion" Then, seeking some
high perch. they join in the spring
music with a concentrated energy
that seems to make them needless
of danger, and soon they fall in num-
bers to the bluntheaded arrows Of
the little Indians.
The chipmunks are active from
this time of the year on, and their
sunny morning chorus is not by any
means confined to that original out
burst. On the twenty ninth Of April,
1905, at Coscob, heard chipmunk
in full song. He kept 1t up for
eleven minutes without ceasing, and
uttered one hundred and thirty chrips
to the minute. He got no reply,
though he worked very hard, and
seemed tired toward the last On
May %, 1905. at Coscob. heard
chipmunk singing. He kept 1t up for
three minutes, uttering three chirps
to the second.

One hundred and twenty-four miles
is long distance for a short legged
little fox terrier to travel in less than
one week. yet certain fox terrier
named Gyp recently went all the way
to see her two babies, from whom she
had been taken. And she had no
one to tell her the direction. Instinct
and mother love taught her where to
go.
Gyp, who is very young mother,
only eighteen months old, lives in the
far west. Her master is Harry g..
Fisher, Of Salt Lake City. Gyp &C.
companied her master on visit to
Weston, Idaho, and stayed with him
on ranch owned by August Jensen.
One day.. while they were there, Gyp
came frisking to Mr.. Fisher with an
extra amount OF pride in the wag Of
her nipped of tail, and informed him
In her doggish language that she had
something very beautiful to show
him. Naturally his curiosity was
aroused, and he followed where. bark
ing and jumping joyously. she led
him. There hidden away in one Of
the barns, was a litter OF little blink
ing puppies.
There was large family of them
at first, but, as dog families will, they
dwindled to two before many weeks
passed. But Gyp loved these two
dearly, and when Mr.. Fishers visit
being ended. he took Gyp away with
him and left the puppies, she was
grieved, as any mother would be. The
babies were six weeks old then.
About four weeks after their ar
rival in Salt Lake City Mr.. Fisher
missed Gyp. At first he did not worry.
He thought she had just gone out for
a run, or on hunt for the bones
which are so dear to the heart Of
even the most carefully brought up
dog. But a whole day passed and no
Gyp. The Fisher family began to
be concerned. Two weeks passed and
still no Gyp. The Fishers mourned
their pet as lost. She must have
been killed OF stolen they said. Then!

Treasurer E. B G'Gonnor of the Wiuona Copper company, issues the following regarding the calling of an assessment of s2 per share on the stock:
 -Our general manager estimates that the amount required to complete and equip the mine for economical operation. SO as to reach shipments of 1000 tons of rock per day, will be s20e. GOO.
 It is expected that after this sum has been provided no further calls upon the capital stock will be neces- sary unless a stamp mill should be built, which is not contemplated in the near future.
 During the continuance of the present unsatisfactory condition of the copper market it has been decided tc curtail production to the point at which we can handle most economic ally the rock which must be taken out in making new openings, and to devote all of our resources to the de yeIopment of the mine, which stopes and drifts enough to supply the stamp mill with 1900 tons of rock per day which can be accomplished during the summer of 1908
 When this capacity is reached our cost for producing copper win be such that at 15 cents a pound we should be able to show a profit before the end Of 1908. with Q fair prospect of in creasing the same thereafter by i'm proTements under contemplation
