Conviction of DR.. B. Clark HYDE.

The conviction of Dr. B. Clark
Hyde of murder in the first degree
ends one of the most remarkable
murder trials in legal records. DR..
Hyde was a prominent young physi-
clan of Kansas City, who married
the niece of Col. Thomas HI. Swope,
citizen of considerable wealth. DR..
Hyde attended Colonel Swope in his
last illness, and it was charged that
he caused Swope's death by admin
istering strychnine and other deadly
drugs. Colonel Swope died October
3. and in his will, made some time
previously, left DR.. Hyde and his
wife 100000. This was only
small share of the 100000 estate.
Suspicion was aroused at the time on
account of the suddenness of Colonel
Swope's death; but when in Deem
Der an epidemic of typhoid fever
broke out in his household, which
seized eight persons and caused the
death Of Christian Swope, open
charges were made that Hyde had
secured typhoid cultures and inocu-
lated the members Of the family in
order to put them out of the way
and secure most of the large estate.
The prosecution contended that
the physician had dealt out death on
every hand. The attorneys set forth
a case that pictured Hyde as the
Borgia of his time. The testimony
of some of the witnesses seemed al
most incredible. The jury deliber-
ated three days, and at the moment
when a mistrial was expected an
nounced it's verdict of murder in the
first degree. This was not the least
unexpected feature of case that has
abounded in mysteries and disclos-
ures that read like a story Of the poi
soners of the Dark Ages.-Baltimore

A FARM PAGE EXCHANGE.

The readers of the weekly Jeffer-
sOnian have been greatly interested
in the farm articles of Hon. Martin
Calvin, which appear each week.
While diversity of subjects have
been hadled, Mr.. Calvin realizes
there are many others which will be
Of interest to many of the readers of
the farm page.
Any letters containing suggestions
or questions relative to the farm and
farm life, will be published; the re-
plies to queries will be given by Mr..
Calvin, and it is hoped this page will
become one of the most interesting
to many of the thousands of readers
of The Jeffersonian.

FARM BY-PRODUCTS.

The products of the farm or gar
den for family use are seldom taken
into account as part of the income
by the cOuntryman, and too often he
neglects to grow the variety and Sc
Quence of vegetables and fruits that
are easily possible. In the city, good
milk, cream, eggs, poultry, and fresh
garden produce are now classed
among the Injuries, and paid for as
such. Butter comes from the cream
cry and scars to staggering prices in
winter, and every kind of meat must
be purchased. With almost any soil
and climatic conditions the following
supplies can be raised for the table
of the country home:
For vegetables, the season may be-
gin with dandelion green's and con-
t1nue with asparagus, green peas,
string beans, sweet corn, shell beans,
cucumbers, tomatoes, caulifiower,
and celery, with radishes, lettuce,
and new beets to fill the gaps, while
turnips, carrots, onions, cabbage,
squash, parsnips, and potatoes carry
the household through the winter
The list of fruits includes strawber-
ries, followed by currants, raspber-
ries, blackberries, and grapes. APP
pies may begin with the Early Har-
vest and Sweetbough in June, with a
succession of varieties that can be
kept on hand until the following
spring. In most localities. blueber-
ries grow wild in abundance, while
it is always worth while to set out
peach, pear, cherry, and plum trees.
Fruit and vegetables canned at home
are almost as appetizing as when
fresh, and play their part when bins
and barrels are emptied in the early
spring.
The farmer and the country house
wife may treat these products as I'M
reckoned values, but dietary studies
made among well-to-do households
and the figures of retail price-lists
shows that in town an average of
five cents per day for each person is
spent for fruit and one-half as much
for vegetables, without counting the
cost of preparing for the table. For
the conventional family of five this
amounts to $2.62 per week, or
$136.24 a year.-Collier's Outdoor
America.

CHOLERA AMONG HOGS.
BY Martin v. Calvin.


Discussion is in progress as to the
cause of, and the remedy for. hog
cholera. A number of cases have re-
Gently been reported. 1t is not as
prevalent South as West Primari-
ly, the disease is attributable to I'M
clean quarters and equally unclean
food. Stopped" hogs-those fed
with hotel and similar waste, etc.,
kept in foul barrels for days-are
more susceptible to the disease than
those left to shift for themselves. It
is the rarest thing in the world for
hogs, that are properly cared for. to
have cholera. There are exceptions
to this rule, but, if the disease
should develop among hogs with
which due care is taken, it can be
traced to a herd somewhere in the
neighborhood.
Cholera is a dread disease. 1t is
we'll that Jealous efforts are being
put forth all over the country to
remedy the evil-to stamp out the
disease. The general Government is
doing a good work in giving thor
ough test to vaccination with serum.
A number of Western States have
made liberal appropriations to en-
able their respective Stations to pro-
duce the serum
know that the Georgia Station
has this subject in hand, and will
ask aid of the Legislature to make
effectiVe plans now maturing
In 1903, the Bureau of Animal In
dustry discovered the immediate
cause Of the most acute and viru-
lent forms of the disease. In 1905.
the vaccine known as serum was de-
Yeloped. It is believed to be a pre-
Vent1ve as we'll as a cure. The Sc
rum has been patented by DR.. Marion
Dorset, Chief of the Biochemic Di-
vision of the Bureau. The object in
securing patent is to enable any
body in the United States to use the
serum free of royalty.
Last year, $4,000 hogs were given
the serum treatment. Reports of re-
suits are highly encouraging.
There are immune hogs, but the
number of the susceptible exceed the
number of the immune. The serum
is injected simultaneously, that is,
under the skin.
In herd in which the disease ap-
pears, there will be a number of ap-
parently healthy hogs. The plan is
at once to separate the sick hogs
from those that seem to be well.
Treat the sick ones with a view to
saving them. Treat the we'll ones
with a view to immunization.
In conducting experiments to de-
termine the efficacy of the serum
herds were found which had been
exposed to cholera through a hog
that had escaped from a diseased
herd, but in which herds, at the time
of treatment, there were no signs of
disease. In such herds, per cent.
of the vaccinated hogs died; SO per
cent. of the unvaccinated succumbed.
In other herds, in which the disease
was present but had not progressed
very far, rs per cent. of the untreat-
ed died, while only 10 per cent. of
the vaccinated were lost.
The Government estimate, a few
years ago, was that the losses from
