THE TREATMENT OF
HOG CHOLERA

A conference Of representatives Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture and Of the agricultural expert
ment stations Of several states to con-
slider plans for supplying serum for the
prevention and treatment Of hog chol-
era was recently held At Ames, Ia In
connection with the call for the con-
ference, communication from the
United States department Of aSricul-
ture said:
As the elimination Of many years Of
scientific experimental work the bu-
reau has developed q method Of treat
ment which il effective in saving =
high percentage Of hogs in affected
herds. This method has been tested
in field experiments on q large scale
and under practical conditions. and the
bureaus results have been confirmed
by experiments by the Missouri and
Minnesota experiment stations with
serum furnished by the bureau. AS
examples of the effectiveness Of the
treatment, 1t is stated that in a num-
Der of herds which were treated and
afterwards exposed to the contagion
of hog cholera, portion Of each herd
being left untreated as q check on the
results. only seven per cent. Of the
treated animals died, while the loss
among the untreated hogs was "a per
cent. In herds which had been ex-
posed to the disease but were not sick
at time of treatment, AZ per cent. Of
the treated and SO per cent. Of the un-
treated animals died. In herds In
which the disease had already broken
out before treatment began, the loss
among treated hogs was 10 per cent
and among untreated hogs "A per cent.
In order to make the treatment
available for general use 1t il neces-
sary that some steps should be taken
for supplying the serum to hog raisers.
The department Of agriculture does
not wish to attempt the tremendous
undertaking of preparing serum for
tho whole country, Secretary Wilson's
view being that the problem can best
be handled by the several states TAX

pertinent stations and arranging to fur

GROW MULBERRIES

Tho cultivated varieties Of this fruit
can be made to produce berries -

great variety in the sise, color and
flavor Of the different varieties. Some
are large and sweet and of light pink
color. and others are black or rsddish

Tho mulberry IL q tree attaining q
height Of 80 feet or more. Its growth
is moderately rapid. It has yellowish
wood and its branches grow thick,
forming . good wind break. In

valuable for keeping birds away from
the cherries. The fruit Of the two
trees ripens about the same time and
the birds prefer the mulberry.
The fruit is borne in large quantities,
ripening from June 10 to July Is. In
many cases q single tree will furnish
excellent fruit for over month. The
berries hang ON the tree until they are
dead ripe, then may be shaken OF,
The best way 10 to shake them into
sheets spread on the ground.
The ease with which the mulberry
IL grown. the hardness Of the tree
and the excellence Of its fruit make It
an extremely valuable addition to the
home ground. It has an ornamental
value which should not be overlooked.
