A CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.
Specialists Successfully Use Newly
Discovered Serum.

A Kansas City, Mo. special says
That hogs inOculated with serum
discovered by DR.. L. Dorset, a govern
ment specialist, are immune from cho-
lera has been demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of United States Government
officers who have been conducting a
test at the Kansas City stock yards.
At the beginning Of the test thirty
days ago, thirty five hogs were placed
in an isolated pen. Twenty-Five of
them were inoculated with the serum.
In four Of the remainder virulent
cholera blood was injected, while nine
underwent no treatment at all. The
test ended yesterday and the following
report was made public. THE thir-
teen hogs which were not immunized
died of cholera during the test,
while the twenty-five that had been
inoculated are alive and perfectly
healthy. The immunized hogs were
subjected to every form Of exposure TO
cholera The carcasseS of the un-
treated hogs that died in the pens were
allowed to remain in the pens with the
immunized animals as long as two or
three days.

Clearing Up.-Clean up all fence

thousands of Southern hillsides. But

CORN OR POTATOES AFTER

I wish that all our readers could see
the corn fields here in Maryland that
are growing on turned under crimson
clover and on the stubble where GRIM
son clover was mown for hay Both
are fine but where the clover was al
lowed to get dead before turning,
there is magnificent corn on deep
sandy soil. There are fields Of corn
that rival Kentucky bluegrass corn
and that on land formerly poor as any
sandy land in the South. CoWpeas
and crimson clover have made this
section prosperous, and many OF tne
farmers are kind enough to say tnat
I have been responsible for it. by talk
ing on these at their farmers insti-

Then there is no better preparation
for the sweet potato crop than

recently that the crimson clover mace

Preparing for Oats and Wheat
The earlier the oats are gotten in in
September, the better the chances for
their passing the winter safely. Drilled
in with a wheat drill they will be bet
ter off than sown broadcast, and the
work is more cheaply done than in the
open furrow method invented of late
years, which is merely a modification
of the drill. Two bushels per acre,
drilled, will be plenty of seed.
Cut the late corn and shock it and
tie the tops Of the shocks with tarred
tWine. Then do not re-ploW the corn
land for wheat or oats. but disk it
sha:sowly and make the surface as fine
as possible, but let the soil remain
settled from the spring plowing. The
same will apply when sowing winter
grain after peas have been cut Plow-
ing late is bad for fall grain, and oats
will winter kill on loose soil more
than where it is we'll settled from the
spring ploWing.
Keep going over the land with a
drag harrow after disking if you are
going to SOW wheat, and remember
that every time you go over and roll
and harrow and get the surface fine,
you will be increasing the crop. Sow
oats early in Septen Der. but do not
SOW wheat till after light white frost
to avoid the fall fly. And if you avoid
the fly in the fall, you will have none
in spring.
Crimson ClOyer.-Crimson clover
seed are about double the usual price
this season, owing to the failure of
the Delaware and Maryland crop. But
do not decline to SOW for this sea son.
Yesterday a neighbOr of mine said that
he would SOW it if he had to pay $40 a
bushel for it. for he says that he cam
not do without it. But there is hardly
enough seed to go around, and those
intending tes SOW should lose no time
in getting the seed. If the crop be-
comes as general all over the South
as in Maryland and Delaware, it will

borhoOd to get huller and threSh the
seed for every one. going from farm to
farm. Then every farmer can have
a piece left especially for seed to be
let ripen and be moWn and stacked
till the huller comes around.
Sow 15 pounds of clean seed per
acre on all land that is not to have a
fall crop on it.. Sow the seed among

WITH THE YOUNG PIGS.

The little pigs should be encouraged
to eat at as early an age as possible.
The dividing of the farrowing pens SO
that the pigs can have access TO n
shallow trough away from the SOW IS
Of great value Keep everything scru-
pulously clean or serious digestive
troubles will likely result.
Feed only in limited quantities and
allow no old feed to remain in the
trough from one feeding TO the next.
If the little pigs and the SOW are con-
fined inside all the time. few sOds
and roots will greatly benefit them If
given every two or three days.
Young pigs fed in this manner will
not fall away in condition when they
are separated from their dams. In fact.
they will practically wean themselves
by the time they are eight or ten
weeks of age.
Abundant exercise and frequent
feeding are essential to the best
growth and development of the young
pigs. By the time they are ready to
wean some kind of forage crop or pas
ture should be available for them.
Alfalfa, clover oats, peas rape and
rye may be profita bly, utilized as pas,
ture and forage crops for pigs. Lana
that is utilized for hog pasture will
gain ra pidly in fertility and will be in
excellent condition to produce large
crops of roots for winter feeding.

Sunday SCHOOL MISSIONARIES RE-
PORT TO THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD

ton, for Mr.. Brearley has been identl-
fed with the Presbytery for number
of years, first as pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Mandan, and
during the past year and half as
pastor evangelist.
During the ten years of service in
North Dakota Mr.. Brearley has been
a successful pastor and worker. AS
a preacher he is forceful and earnest
and was remarkably successful in
evangelistic work, especially during
his career as pastor-evangelist.
Had he stayed in his present po-
sition in Bismarck Presbytery, much
evangelistic work would have been
carried on this coming winter, not
only in this presbytery, but also in
other parts of the state.
A committee composed of Revs.
C. w. Harris and G. W. Stewart was
appointed by the moderator Rev.
Thomas A. McCurdy,D. D., to draw
up resolutions commencing the work
of Mr.. Brearley and expressing re-
greet because of his departure from
Bismarck Presbytery.
The presbytery has no one in view
to take Mr.. Brearley's place.

John Burke, who spoke on Law En-

CONTINUED from page ~

John Burke, who spoke on Law En-
forcement."
I come to thank you ministers
who have stood by me in the enforce
ment of the law I think it is right
for the church people to take part IN
the matter. Next to the lawyer the
minister knows that most of the mis-
cry and suffering comes from the VIC
lation Of the law. If that should be
true, why should he not take an IN
terest."
He said that many feared that If
they did their duty that it would hurt
their business and incur enmity; that
they wanted the law enforced, but
did not want to help.
Each Citizen" said he, SHOULD do
his whole part. It is not my duty.
It is not your duty. 1t is our duty,
Our first business to be good citizens
and keep the law intact. The for
nation of the government is the law.
There is no other. What is the law
breaker doing but tearing out the
foundation"
He said he believed that We had
made progress. That in this state
of 100000 people there were only 200
inmates in the penitentiary, while In
Montana with less than half the popu-
lation, there were 500 inmates. He
thought that that was splendid rec
ord for North Dakota. He said that
most of the men in the Denitentiary
had gotten there through drink and
that that was the result not so much
of wickedness, but of weakness.
Therefore he thought we ought to re-
move temptation from their paths so
far as we are able to do so.
He stated that he did not know OF
a sheriff or a states attorney that
was at the present time not doing
his duty. He thought that the legis-
lature ought to give the governor the
power to remove officers who did not
do their duty.
