struck a log at a shallow depth and was


abandoned.
During 1909 another well was drilled to
a dept of more than 2300 feet. Traces of
oil were encountered at 700 feet, but no
considerable amount Of gas below 800 feet.
At 2300 feet salt water was struck and the
well was abandoned. During the same
year well was sunk 1900 feet at the sugar
house in Whitecastle, but gave no signif-
cant indications of either oil Or gas. A
careful examination of the logs of all wells
drilled for gas, oil, or water in this region
in recent years will be necessary to de-
termine the probability of obtaining a sup
ply of gas sufficient for practical uses.
CROSSE TETE, IBERvILLE PARISH.
Nearly all the water wells drilled near
Crosse Tete to depth of more than 80
feet show natural gas, which in several
wells has had sufficient pressure to blow
the tubings out of the ground. During the
examination made by the Survey one
of these wells, drilled year ago, was
cleaned of it's accumulated mud by flush
ing and Immediately produced gas of
sufficient pressure to throw water about
20 feet from the top of the well casing
The analysis of this gas, after deducting
air. is as follows:
Carbonic acid ------,..,.--- .,-..----- IA
Methane --. 5SS
Nitrogen ..,.,...-.-.-....-. -. .,.s. 1913
The lack of odor Of oil and the large per-
centage of nitrogen indicate that this is
surface gas, but further examination here
is desirable.
FURTHER EXAMINATION NEEDED.
The indications of natural gas in the
regions visited have been sufficient to
.ouse much interest and to induce the
expenditure of considerable money, but
further operations should be delayed until
the state makes thorough examination

combating it.
Finally, the experiment was tried Of
using the blood of all immune hog To
inject the non-immune hogs. IT was found
that tbs was not quite effective. but
that IL an immune hog We're injected
with the blood of hog that WAS SICK
with the cholera il would so raise the
percentage of the protective element in
his blood that this could be injected into
a non-immune hog and give him inn
munity, though he was thrown in con-
tact with a whole herd suffering from

complished 1t, and now they can inoclI-
late hog against hog cholera and make

leave no doubt I'm the minds of both

LARGE SAVING TO FARMERS

After working for eleven years over the
of Agriculture has perfected system
of incubation against the disease that
can save the farmers of the United States
millions of dollars annually and will have
some effect on the high cost of living
question, owing to the fact that it will
annum and will furnish larger supply
to the market, where the price of pork
has recently been soaring.
Hog cholera is known in Europe as
swine pest, and wherever pigs are
raised it takes a heavy toll 1t is hard
to say what the disease costs the farm
ers of the United States. but the De-
partment of Agriculture says 1t is some
where between ten and forty million dol
lars each year.
Some idea of the viruence of an cpl
demic when it gets started may be gained
from the figures that were collected when
the department was making the last field
tests with the new serum. Out of one
herd of thirty hogs only four were left
alive after an epidemic of the disease
On an adjoining farm there was herd
of POS, and of these all but six died One
of the difficulties of controlling an cpl
demic when 1t starts is that the disease
is highly infectious and, as a rule, the
hogs of one farm come in contact with
those of another, and thus contagion is
spread. Up to short time ago there
was no method Of protection but the
slow, costly and unsatisfactory system OF

STATEHOUSE REVELS
CONDEMNED BY CLERGY
Ministers Demand Investigation Of
Debauchery on Last Night of
New Jersey Legislature.

TRENTON, April 12.-Folowing the
lead of ,ne Rev. neorge w. Kidout, pas
tor of Wesley NJ. Il. Church of this city.
who was the first minister to condemn
the New JERSEY assemblymen for their
closing-hour reyelry with whisky and
women, the Methodist ministers of Tren
ton and vicinity yesterday passed resolu-
tions demanding an investigation of the
debauchery and condemning the entire
legislature as being under the domino
ton of the liquor interests of the state.
In addition to this the Rev. DIR. Hugh
B. MacCauley, representing the Inter
church ederstion of Trenton comprising
all of the Protestant churches, and the
Rev. DIR. W. w. Case, representing the
Trenton Ministerial Union. appeared be-
fore Gov. Fort and asked him to investi
gate. They assured the executive that
the church and temperance people of the
state would back him up in any move
ment he would make to punish the Of
Tending Legislators.
Tho governor declared that he would
look into the matter further as soon as
ne had disposed of the bills which are
now demanding his attention. He will be
through with this work after today.
President Frelinghuysen of the senate
and Speaker Ward of the house are ex-
pected here today. They are likely TO
act with the governor iii the preliminary
work of an investigation.
The wholesale condemnation of the
legislature by the Methodists is due to
the fact that the senate killed local
option bill. while the house passed bill
to permit base ball on Sunday. The min
listers contend that in both instances the
action was taken at the behest of the
LIQUOR interests.
The Methodists are about to inaugurate
a statewide movement to send a better
class of men to the legislature next fall,
men whom they believe to be beyond the
reach of special interests.
If an investigation is conducted by the
governor it is expected that the names
of all those involved will be brought out.
civilians. women, statehouse attaches and
assemblymen alike. Every one to whom
suspicion now points is Fastening to deny
any connection with the affair.
The Trenton contractor who has been
mentioned as having taken the women
to the capitol denies that he had any
thing to do with the revelry, and said
he would make it warm for any one SO
accusing him. The women reported to
have been there also deny their presence
during the orgies.

All Previous Efforts Failed.

In view of the fact that hog cholera
was so deadly and destructive and cost
the farmers SO much, there have been
sporadic attempts to cope with it for
about twenty years. 1t was thought there
ought to be some system of incubation,
because 1T was noticed that when a hog
did recover. which was the exception
rather than the rule, he was afterward
immune to cOntagion.
Drs. Salmon and Smith, when the
former was the head of the bureau of
animal industry, thought they had sue
ceeded in isolating the germ, and there
was a series of experiments based on
their discovery. 1t was found afterward
that the bacillus they had found was
usually present in the blood in cases of
hog cholera, but it was not the bug they
were after. incubation with cultures Of
this bacillus did not give immunity.
But the department did not give it up.
For eleven years 1t stuck steadily to the
task, and the mere fact that this long
course of work was absolutely unpro-
ductive was one Oh the arguments against
the research work of the department.
At last, however. the reward came, and
the saving to farmers and the public in
a few seasons. even though the protec-
ton is not universally adopted will pay
all the expenses of the department for
the last ten years.
