SALMON CATCH PROVES IMMENSE

Fish So Many That Washington Can

Countless thousands Of salmon are
being permitted to ascend to their

from fish traps, which have been lift

with fish, dozens Of scows are along
side loaded with salmon and lows are
coming in with long strings Of fish
laden barges. 1t is proving an impos-
sibility to handle the catch. The price
of sockeyes has fallen to 10 cents each.

A Western Institution.

/ The National Stock Show held
in Denver annually under the aus
pices of the Western Stock Show
association has become one of the
western institutions in which all
western people are interested.
The object of the show is to en-
courage better breeding and feed
ing of live stock and to build up
that industry in the west. The
work is educational in character
and as result of the work already
done, the west is rapidly becoming
recognized as the coming center of
live stock production for this coun-
try. The bulk of the mutton and
beef in the future will have to be
supplied from the great west as
the only cheap pastures left are in
the west. The fifth annual show
will be the greatest ever held in
Denver January 3 to 10 and the
indications are that it will be the
greatest ever held in the west.
The railroads have made low rate
of fare and every stockman and
farmer in this section should make
an effort to attend. The show is
not money-making institution,
as the gate receipts have never yet
more than partially paid the ex-
pense. 1t should have every en-
couragement and from a business
standpoint no farmer can afford to
miss it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the
diseased portion of lnc ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and hat Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused 10y an
intiamed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflame ed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion be taken out and this tube restoree
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

ally, condition is produced in the
body so that the germs can no
longer live there and healing goes
on uninterruptedly.
On account of the care that must
be exercised in handling the vac
cine, 1t has been given out only TO
competent veterinarians. A ma
Jorlty of the people of the state
have been reached in this way
through their local veterinarians.
The first vaccine was tested out in
case OF poll evil and case of tis-
tula Of the withers, both in horses.
The case of poll evil was of long
standing and had been operated
upon several times. 1t was finally
turned over to the veterinary hos
pltal of the Colorado Agricultural
College for further treatment and
operation. At the time the first
vaccination was made there was
considerable suppuration. Dead
tissue was present and there was
an abundant pus discharge from
the wound. In three or four days
marked changes were noted in the
condition of the wound. The gen
eral condition of the animal i'm
proved, the discharge from the
wound gradually diminished, and
the animal was sent home practi-
cally recovered in less than three
weeks.

scnted at the college for treatment.

The left fore limb swollen to the
foot. The temperature of the an.
mnI had begun to rise, and il
seemed apparent that the auima
would die in IA short time. One.
half dose, containing 25,00o.OOt
dead germs, was given, and in l.
hours full dose. This was fol.
lowed by full dose every five days
thereafter, In twenty four hours
the swelling began to subside. The
temperature gradually lowered un,

about four weeks the animal prac.

Cure for Fistula and Poll Evil

In the veterinary laboratory of
the Colorado Agricultural College,
vaccine has been made which eff
fects a cure in cases of poll evil
and fistula of the withers in horses
and all other suppurative condi-
tions, due to the common suppur-
ative germs, writes Prof. b. f.
Kaupp of the College. The vac
cine is made from the germs that
cause suppuration. One cubic
centimeter of the vaccine is inject
ed under the skin every five days
with hypodermic syringe. Six
doses are all that have been re-
quired SO far to effect cure. This
vaccine contains the dead bodies
of the germs that cause fstula,
poll evil, and other common sup
curative conditions. These bodies
contain chemic substance within
them which is set free as soon as
they are broken up. This chemic
substance is called endotoxin.
This endotoxin stimulates the cells
of the body to produce a substance
which SO weakens the germs exist

Lice on Hogs.
BY II. NJ. Cottrell of the Colorado Agri
cultural College.

cultural College.
Whenever a pig has good feed
and surroundings and is not thriv
ing. look for lice. Nermin will
usually be found to be the cause
of the lack of thrift. A great many
of the losses laid to cholera, worms
and mysterious diseases are actu-
ally the work of lice.
A stockman new in the hog bus
mess, bought several sows. He
built good shelter and gave them
good feed and care. They had l5o
pigs. and all of these but II died
before weaving time. After l3S
had died a veterinarian was called
in to find what disease was killing
the pigs, and he found that they
had all been killed by lice. They
We're covered with vermin.
The writer inspected herd of
300 hogs running on an alfalfa
field and fed grain. They had a
greyhound appearance, with rough
hair, and We're not over half so
heavy as they should have been.
After looking them over, the writer
said that lice were stunting the
hogs. The owner insisted that
there was not Il single louise on the
whole herd. Several hogs were
caught and We're found to be very
lousy.
The best cure and preventive is
regular dipping, using some of the
coal tar dips So extensively adver-
tised and sold. or crude oil When
pigs are found to be lousy, dip
twice, ten days apart, and then
once a month through the year.
Dipping with coal tar dips not on
y Kills the vermln. but keeps the
skin and hair in healthful cor
dition and is worth the cost of
the operation, aside from killing
the lice
The most convenient method is
to sink IA galvanized iron vat. the
top level with the ground, and
leave a shute leading from the hog
lot TO the vat, and another from
the dripping board to the lot
The dipping mixture can be
kept in the vat all the time and
be protected by cover when hogs
are not being dipped. With such
an arrangement it is a!short and
easy job to dip 80 to 200 hogs.
The dipping mixture will need to
be changed three or four times "A
year.
In Colorado it is safe to- dip in
winter if done on warm, sunny
day, and the hogs are kept fin the
n.and out of the wind until dry.
Where only IA few pigs are kept,
they may be treated by washing
them thoroughlyaawith a cloth or
sponge wet with the dipping soIu-
ton.
Besides dipping, the hogs should
have short posts set for them in
their yards and pastures. Wrap
the posts with old potato or bran
sacks and once Il week saturate
these sacks with crude oil. 4
louise bites the hog, he rubs the
spot on the sack and the oil kills
the louise.
When hogs are found to be lousy
their sleeping, feeding and resting
places should be thoroughly
cleaned, all bedding burned, and
these places sprinkled or sprayed
with the dipping mixtures.
Pregnant sows should not be
