DISEASES OF HOGS.
Some Ways In Which Germs Are Car
ried.

Farmers are just beginning to learn
something of the infiniteslmal forms
of life which play such an important
mart in affairs on the farm. We tnd
this subject very intelligently treated
in q recent issue of The Southwestern
Farmer and Breeder:
"Prominent among the agents which
transport disease germs from one hefu
into the next are the footwear OF
thoughtless persons, rats, stray dogs
and pigeons or other birds which fire.
auent the hog lots. The first OF these
is one that can be easily taken care OF.
If you have a clean, healthy herd or
hogs it is far the best plan to keep
strangers away from them entirely
and by no means let people walk
around in your hog lots when you
know their own herd is infected or
when they have been on ferns where
the disease has existed recently. Rats
are much harder to handle, as at least
q few of them will always be found in
fine neighborhood of the hog house.
These rodents are night providers and
will travel long distances, When in
iurc1 It seems IN almost inVarfable
rule that they will die out Of doors and
hence are likely to be eaten by the
hogs. A ceaseless war of extermina-
tion should be carried en- against them,
about the best weapons in this war
fare being a few good cats and num-
erous traps The trouble with rats is
eliminated to larger extent by the
use of cement floors in the hog houses
as this leaves 10 open space under tne
floors and consequently very l1ttle
room for the rats to nest in. Ihe mat
ter of stray dogs is one that should De
taken in hand by every farmer. IN
less you know the animal to be a val
liable one belonging to your neighpor'
il is a good rule to shoot every dog that
comes upon the place Either keep
vour own dog at home nights or plan
r. do without him. A rowing dog Will
often visit in one night nearly every
hog lot in the nefghborhood and the
construction of a dogs foot is such
tbat he can carry home innumerable
germs, On a large number OF farms
will be found healthy, vigorous mock

'LAMRO ON WHEELS TO

OF TOWN OF WINNER
Business Man Of Inland Town
Secures Lots in the New
Railroad Town.

Dallas, s. D.. May 1S.-Waiting only
for the chance to get on wheels and bs
transported. the town of Lamro will be
moved bodily and completely to the
new town Of Winner, where lots have
been secured by practically every one
of the SS business men in the present
county seat town.
Within two weeks there will not be
business house left in Lamro IL the
weather is such as to permit the work
of moving buildings to proceed. Some
Of the buildings will be moved with the
stocks unmolested and business will be
conducted along the way from the NOV
ing stores. Several moving outfits are
already on the ground and within a
few days the intervening distance of
four miles will be strewn with struc-
lures, capstans, tackle and other
paraphernalia.
The move on the part of the resi-
dents of Lamro will precipitate a coun-
ty seat fight, but 1t is believed that
there will be no difficulty in effecting
the change of location from Lamro to
Winner.
Winner is on the line of the new
Northwestern extension through Trip

CONVICT SWINDLES
ON FALSE PRETENSE

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 14.-During
the past two or three Gays a young
man named j. Hartman has been WIS.,
lting different institutions in Sioux
Falls, claiming that he represented the
Associated Press. The regular cor
respondent "f the Associated Press
wired headquarters in Chicago and
received information which proved
Hartman to. be an imposter so far as
representing the Associated Press was
concerned. An inquiry was set on
foot which revealed that the young
man only on Monday of this week had
been released from the Sioux Falls
penitentiary, after completing a term
for forgery, committed in Brown coun-
~. Hartman now has departed from
Sioux Falls. stating that he was en-
route for Mason City, Ia, from which
point he would go to Odessa. Mimi.
and then to the Twin cities. 1t is not
believed that his swindling in Sioux
Falls was of a very extensive char
acter. His scheme appears to be to
visit large business establishment
and announce that he is going to give
the establishment a writeup for the
Associated Press, and then collect such
sums as he can from those who would
be benefited by the alleged wr.teup.

From the antipodes comes a case Tor
the Psychical Research society. In q
leading Australian theater the actresses
are almost scared out OF their wits.
Every night, as soon as the curtain
goes up, the figure Of "a tall, dark man
in evening dress" arises from the back
Of the dress circle, and watches the
proceedings with fixed, stony glare.
while he "furiously twirls" the ends OF
his mustache. At the end OF the nrst
act he disappears, and is seen no more
for that evening. He Is visible only
from the stage. People and officials in
the auditorium have searched for him
without success.

FOURTEEN GIRLS AND
BOYS ARRESTED FOR
STEALING FROM CARS
Wholesale Theft by Youths
None of Whom Are Over
10 Years Old.

Aberdeen, S. D.. May 14.-Twelve
boys and two girls. the oldest not over
Is years and the youngest 3. have been
arrested for implication IN ihefts of
beer, whisky and canned goods from
cars on the Milwaukee tracks here.
Clyde Grinnell. aged 15 years, is the
leader of the bunch and will be sent
to the state reform school.
The unusual connection Of two girls
with the lawless act, which has baffled
the efforts of detectives to solve up to
the present time, was brought about
through the promise of the boys that
they would be able to secure good
things to eat. The feast, however,
consisted more largely Of drinking
than eating, and the incident Of the
arrest reveals species of crime not
usually found except among adults.
1t is believed that the IA children
arrested are only part of the Juvenile
organization which started out to live
on luxuries without work. and the dis
covery opens up new avenue for the
study of crime.

clipping along at rs miles an hour when
the axle doubled while passing through
a slough. He was later picked up by

is a bad one and is worse because it is
the fourth time the same leg has been
broken. Mr.. Lennon is one Of the old
