NEWS NOTES.

The weather during the year
1907, at the Experiment Station
at Fort Collins, was characterized
by an unusually warm February
and March, the first averaging 10
degrees warmer and the latter
degrees warmer than the 81 years
average we have. This. followed
by two unusually cold mornings
in April, the 2lst being 81 de-
grees which killed practically all
the fruit of the section.
The precipitation up to Sept
ember 1st was little below the
normal having 10.49 inches, as
against an average for 26 years of
IL .S5. and 1851 in 1905, and 1874
in 1906.
The month of June, however,
was quite dry, only 0.44 inches
falling against an average of 1.59
inches for that month.
The precipitation for the re-
mainder of the year has been low,
except November, which shows a
small excess. The total amount
for the year has been 1852 inches
while our average for 26 years is
14.76. We had 1886 inches in
1905 and 1888 inches in 1906.
The temperature of the fall
months was normal, and owing to
lack of storms in October and early
November, no damage was done by
frost, the first storm of consequence
occurring November 18th, with 5.5
inches of snow.
The maximum temperature of
the year occurred July 3rd, with
9.44 degrees and the minimum on
December 18th, of sd degrees.
This usually occurs in January or
February, but during the past year
Al degrees was the coolest in
those months.
The most severe wind storm of
the year occurred on December
Oath, reaching velocity of 80
miles an hour, and again on the.
26th, but this latter was not quite
SO severe.
The year 1907 has been very
favorable one to the farmers at
large, except to those engaged in
fruit raising, and the fall was very
favorable to harvesting.

to 100 per cent, and l have thought
it advisable to issue bulletin in
order to give those persons inter-
ested what information | can re-
garding its cause, manner of in
fection and methods of combating
it.
The disease is caused by the
\ necrosis bacillus bacillus necro-
, phorus) which gains entrance into
the system through the abraded
mucous membrane of the mouth.
throat, stomach, intestines or
through an abrasion of the skin.
This bacillus infests all pens, bed
ding grounds and any portion of
the farm where infected animals
range, and any abrasion of the
surface caused by rough food,
sharp teeth. dentition, bites, wire
cuts, operations, etc, affords them
entrance. AS soon as they gain
entrance they at once begin to
burrow and cause the death of all
tissue they invade, which tissue is
thrown up behind them in the
form of cheesy deposit, where
the affection is on the mouth or
intestines. When the animal is
infected externally the resulting
affected portion takes the form of
"A large, filthy sore. often causing
an affected ear, tail or foot to drop
off The animals most commonly
affected are pigs ranging from
one week to 2 or 3 months old, and
in this class the percentage of loss
is usually very high, often 100 per
Dcent
One of the principal causes of
its prevalence among nursing pigs
is the fact that the SOW lies down
in the infected bed grounds and
her teats and udder are covered
with the bacilli, which are taken
into the mouth of the sucking pigs
by the millions and at once attack
any portion of the lips, mouth,
throat, stomach or intestines where
there is the slightest abrasion of
the membrane, and in event IF
sharp teeth of the young pig
wounding the mother, she is her
self infected.
Always and under all conditions
this bacillus produces a progress
sive tissue necrosis, but in order
to do this, it must find lodgment
in some broken surface, either of
the skin or mucuos membrane-it
is absolutely harmless upon an
unbroken surface, however num-
erous they may be. 1t is commun-
icable to man, as the writer knows
from personal experience, having
contracted the disease on two diff
nferent occasions, once from calf,
and once from pig, the latter at
tack being of very serious char
acter.
This disease is enzootic, not ep-
izootic, that is to say, instead of
covering a large area like hog
cholera and some other diseases,
it involves in its infection only a
few herds or even the animals of
a single herd. This is due to the
nature of the infective agent,
which is not very resistant to ger
micidal influences such as sunlight,
hence there is little possibility of
its being carried from place to
place under the natural conditions
as they exist in Colorado, unless
infected pigs go from one farm to
another.

LITERARY MECCA OF ENGLAND.
Famous Writers Who Lived in TWick-
enharn

The place to which the lover of Eng
lish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast of having been
the residence and beloved abode of so
many famous literary lights.
With it are associated the immortal
names of Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift,
Gay, Lady Wortley, Montagu, Gibbon,
Boswell, Johnson, Tennyson and Dick
ems. Surely this is enough to make
any place doubly immortal! Twicken-
ham was well nicknamed by Horace
Walpole the Baiae, or Tivol, of Eng
land; for it has truly been to London
what Baiae was to ancient Rome-in-
deed, in a far higher degree.
The big red brick house in Montpel-
ier road where Alfred Tennyson lived
for so many years of his earlier mar
ried life was the one in which many of
his earlier poems were written. Here
his lon Lionel, the second Lord Tenny-
son, was born, and there the author
of the '1dyls" entertained many of his
literary friends and acquaintances.
That house should surely be sacred
to all lovers of English literature
which saw the dawn Of ''In Memoriam"
which witnessed those delightful gath
erings graced by Tennyson, Hallam
and kindred spirits within its walls. 1t
is today called "Tennyson House" and
is now without a tenant.-From the
