kNELL OF CHOLERA SC0URGE
Government Experts of Agricultural
Department Announce Discovery
of Vital Interest.

Extraordinary interest was aroused
In Chicago the other day, especially
at the stock yards, by the receipt Of
news from Washington that cholera,
the great scourge in the raising Of
hogs, has, in the opinion Of experts
Of the agricultural department, been
conquered.
According to the reports a new
serum, with which the department has
been experimenting, has proved sue
cess at the Union Stock yards at
South Omaha, Neb.
The Washington reports state:
The Stock Yards company pur-
chased thirty pigs weighing from for
ty to sixty pounds each from a farm
which had been free from hog cholera
for several years. These pigs were
brought to the stock yards and four
Of them were inoculated with hog
cholera These inoculated hogs were
placed in a pen by themselves and
within five days they had become
sick, at which time eighteen Of the
remaining pigs were each given a
dose Of the serum, while the other
eight pigs were not treated in any
way. The eighteen serum-treated pigs
and the eight untreated pigs were
then placed in the same pen with the
four pigs which had been made sick
by incubation.
THE four pigs which were first
given hog cholera ali died and the
eight untreated pigs all contracted
the disease from them. The eighteen
pigs which were given serum and
which were confined in the same pen
with the four original sick pigs and
with the sick untreated pigs remained
perfectly we'll and we're finally turned
over to the officials Of the stock yards
company upon the completion of the
experiment"
The department Of agriculture does
not distribute this serum to farmers,
but is endeavoring to bring the value
of this method to the attention Of the
stock-raising interests in order that
they may arrange to secure state
funds for the manufacture and dis
trihuton Of the serum.

Wean Plus Gradually.

Pigs should be weaned gradually
Have a small trough near the pen
but out of reach of the larger hogs
A small opening that will allow. the
little fellows to pass in and out free
ly, some milk in the small trough
and in very short time they will be
tasting the milk. They may not eat
much at first, but it will not be but
a short time before you will find
them tossing each other about, each
trying to get the last bit of the
milk.

ent of any such trif1e as the summer
rent of the cottage. When her hus-
band died in July, 1900, he left her a
fortune estimated at $12 100000 invest
ed in gilt edge stocks.
What the social aspirations of Mrs.
Evans are, if any, is not known, but
certain it is that she has decided to
close her property to the Tafts. She is
reported to have told her intimate
friends that the comfort of her own
guests has been interfered with by the
activities of the secret service agents
surrounding the presidents home.
Mrs. Evans occupies another cottage
near the one she leased to the Tafts,
and one Of her familiar complaints has
ben that the Taft Cottage stood be-
tween her and the grand view of Co.
lem bay, which Burgess Point af-
fords.
Those who have spent this summer
at Beverly smile at such excuses
They say that Mrs. Evans was delight
ed to have the Tafts for guests last
year and never spoke then Of any Ital-
ian garden scheme.
Meanwhile Mrs. Taft has a little
list of available cottages in the
neighborhood. President Taft Is de-
termined not to leave Beverly if it
can be avoided. The ties he has
formed there, and the enjoyment he
has derived from the golf links and
the magnificent scenery make him feel
very disappointed over the decision Of
Mrs. Evans.

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physicians Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here HE Was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
tfon in the medical world is the asser-
ton of doctor that he is able, by
looking into patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? / recollect hearing some time
ago of doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: Il can
see by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"
MY right eye?' asked the patient.
Yes returned the doctor. 1T
shows me plainly that your liver is
out of order"
Excuse me. DOCTOR" said the pa
tient, apologetically. my right eyes

Packers find it hard work to put

Pure air, pure water, clean food and

Some cattle breeders make the mis-
take Of crossing breeds for the pur-
pose of combining the excellencies of
each breed.
II one has plenty of pasture, and
can raise clover hay, there is nothing
that will pay so we'll for as little labor
as a flock of good sheep.
When q small bit Of pork costs a
days wages, and even a ham bone is
precious, there need be no fear Of
overstocking the hog market.
There is no kind of animal breed
ing that will pay better than the
breeding Of horses, but horses that
will sell, not dunghills or misfts.
One of the highest uses of rye pas.
ture probably is for grazing ewes with
lambs in the early spring, or in gra-

the walls may DO canvas, painted to
keep out the rain, with a small bench
built at one end for the stalks to lie
upon, with hooks for strings. This
makes it as comfortable working

the advantage that it can be moved
from one end Of the field to the other
as needed.
Where built for threefold purpose
the walls should be made of light

hogs or fowls it is moved to the
proper place and the wheels removed,
thus resting the building on the axle;
and by replacing wheels it can again
be moved to a new location, as de-
sired.

Better Silage for Sheep.

At the Minnesota experiment sta
ton 1t is believed that greater care
must be had in preparing silage for
sheep than for cattle. Sheep require
a sweet and dry silage. Thickly plant
ed corn cut before it is we'll matured,
does not make ideal silage for sheep.
Corn planted about like field corn
harvested and put into the silo when
it begins to dent, has proven very
healthful te. sheep, and they have
done we'll upon 1t. If clover hay is
fed in conjunction with this silage
cheap and satisfactory gains may be
made in sheep fattening.

Pete Rosso, one Of the original
owners OF the famous Cumberland
mine at Maiden, left here last Satur-
day morning for Old Mexico, where
he goes for the purpose OF inspect
ing some mining propositions in
which friends OF his are interested.
He expects to be absent from Fergus
county for three or four months, and
country to the south of us.
Proud of the Cumberland.
Mr.. Rosso paid the Office OF the
Democrat a call before starting south
ward, and talked interestingly OF the
Cumberland mine, of which he is the
discoverer. Pete, as is known, plugged
along on the Cumberland all alone
for years and the amount OF work
which he did single handed was really
astonishing He succeeded i'll inter
esting the late Oscar Stephens in the
proposition about five or six years
before Mr.. Stephens death, and the
big stockman, in return for sub
stantial interest, spent several thou
sand dollars in having the mine work
ings extended and in installing neces-
sary machinery for that purpose.
After the death OF Mr.. Stephens, his
share in the property was inherited
by Frank Stephens, while ]. L. Beebe,
Phil A. Chase and R. Won Tobel also
secured interests which netted several
thousand dollars each when the prop
erty was sold.
Something over year ago, through
the agency of A. S. Wright, James
Breen, the well-known Spokane min
ing man and capitalist, purchased the
mine for sum said to be close to a
quarter of a million dollars. Work
was Immediately begun on the erec-
ton of a mill, which was put up
under the supervision of Mr.. Wright.
