TRY FOR INTENSIVE FARMING
DR.. F. K. Cameron of Agricultural
Department Investigating.
LOOKS FOR SOME FERTILIZERS
Will Try Waste Materials from the

of the Western States
Western Land Valuable.

To investigate the needs of Nebraska
farmers in the way of artificial fertilizers
DR.. F. X. Cameron, chief chemist of the
bureau Of soils of the government Depart
ment of Agriculture, is making a tour of
this part of the country. Dr. Cameron re-
turned from the meeting of the American
Chemical association at San Francisco
with Gas Commissioner Crowley.
THE department is trying to find out
whether or not the people of the west are
ready yet to do real intensive farming, =
said DIR. Cameron. The land in the west
is becoming more valuable than it is in
the east and so will have to be better taken
care of. That means that fertilizers must
be used. l shall investigate the practicable
ity of utilizing waste materials from smelt-
ers and the large phosphate deposits in
some of the states farther west, such as
Idaho and Montana"
The stock yards also produce by products
which could be used as fertilizers.

CHOLERA SERUM ON TRIAL
Experiments Will Soon Reveal Eff
cacy of New Treatment.
CONDUCTED AT STOCK YARDS
ShORts InOcuIRted with Disease,
Others with Serum and Healthy
Animals All Placed I'm Pen
Together.

The efficacy or serum in the treatment
of cholera In swine will soon be made
known through experiments under way at
she Union Stock Yards in South Omaha,
These experiments have been brought
about through the fundamentally of F.. Q.
Croker, president of the Nebraska Swine
Breeders association, who, with the fac
ulty of the State School of Agriculture,
has been active in trying TO interest the
growers OF the state in making some con-
certed effort to stamp out cholera in Me-
braska.
This practical demonstration is In charge
of DR.. Niles of the government experiment
station at Ames Ia. The Stock Yards com
pany provided thirty Chester White shoats,
Weighing about fifty pounds. from farm
near Omaha. On July 2S four of the shoats
were inoculated with the disease producing
blood and segregated from the balance OF
the drove. July Is symptoms of cholera
in these four had become clearly apparent.
AT this time eighteen of the shoats We're
treated with the immunizing serum by vac
cinaton oil the inner side of the thigh with
twenty cubic centimeters of the serum to
each animal hypodermically injected
Results VIII soon Come.
These eighteen animals were then placed
in the same pen with the four In which the
disease had clearly developed. The remain
ing eight without any treatment, were also
placed in the pen with the diseased and
protected animals to await developments
If the experiment is successful the four
inoculated shoats and nearly all Of the I'M
protected eight will die. while the eighteen
animals protected by the vaccination should
all survive and be rendered entirely inn
mune
The results of this experiment will natur-
ally be watched with great interest, par
ucularly by extensive swine growers,
though II is true a great deal OF skepticism
exists among the farmers regarding any
professed cure for hog cholera because OF
so many spurious remedies that have been
folsted upon them, These serum tests have
been very successful, however, where prop
erly conducted. and 1t viii be a great ac-
complishment for the hog raising industry
IL at last Il shall be possible to completely
immune swine from the cholera scourge
which has made that branch OF the live
stock business such a precarious one in
years past.
II the experiment shall have proven a
successful one at South Omaha the Stock
Yards company proposes to show the sur
vivlng animals at the state fair in Lincoln
next September and let the farmers see the
results

lessness permit the bottling of flies and inn
purities as well as soda water in their

This charge is serious" declares MIR
Davis, because it relates to the danger
imposed upon children. Children are the
greatest consumers of soda pop, and are
the least able to protect themselves from
danger by noticing the impurities in the
bottles"

CAN'T CHANGE LAKE LEVELS
Getting Brothers are Upheld in Their
Contention and the Level of the
Lake Must at All Times be Main
tanned

The supreme court of Wisconsin has
handed down decision upholding the
decision of Judge Burnell of Oshkosh
in the suit of Robert Runyard and
Others against the Getting Brothers
Ice Company. The decision of the
, suptrme court is complete victory
for the ice company. The case was
tried in the circuit court of this coun-
ty with Judge Burnell sitting in place
of Judge Belden.
AS will be remembered last July the
circuit court for Kenosha county de-
cided the case in favor of the ice
company; this decision, however, was
not sufficient to the plaintiffs and the
case was Immediately carried to the
higher court.
The affair had its beginning thirty
six years ago, when residents of the
vicinity petitioned the town board to
dig a ditch from Camp Lake in d
southerly direction for the purpose
of draining marsh lands bordering on
North and South Camp lakes,
The petition was granted, the con-
tract let, the ditch was dug from
Camp Lake to the state line and the
cause of future trouble was shaped,
In the course of few years the gradu-
al filling of the ditch by vegetable
growth, etc., caused the water in the
lake to return to it's former level.
This state of affairs existed until the
year 1901, when men were employed
to clean the ditch and the water was
again lowered.
About this time the Getting Broth
ers Ice Company erected a concrete
dam at the head of the lake on land
belonging to one of the plaintiffs, with
out objection. However, no real
trouble appeared until five years later
when the dam was torn down by per-
sons unknown and the water thereby
lowered about three feet This left
the defendants ice house far back
from the water, and cottages which
had been built on the lake shore were
600 or 700 feet therefrom. Trouble
then began to brew and the matter
was taken into court. The case was
in litigation for months and when fin
ally decision was reached it was in
favor of the defendant. The court
stated that the plaintiffs showed no
justification for drawing down the
water in 1906, and that the defendant
had been greatly injured thereby and
was entitled to relief And now to
close the case the supreme court has
upheld the decision of the ~iaait
court and has given the defendant the
right to fill the ditch at the expense of
the. plaintiffs.
This will restore the water of Camp
Lake to the former level which will
not only benefit the ice company, but
will make the place more attractive
to the many summer visitors and will
also increase the value of much of the
bordering property.

MOTHER RISKS LIFE IN Vain
Goes to Aid of Four Year Old Son and
is Terribly Burned About the Hands
and Face Although She Fails to
Save the Child's Life.

The first fatality attending the
spring cleaning up season in Kenosha
occurred on Friday when John Kalino-
ski, the four-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Kalinoski, died at the
family residence 40S Linden street, as
a result of burns received on Thursday
afternoon while playing about a bon.
fire near the family residence. Mrs.
Kalinoski made a heroic effort to save
the life of her little son and as a re.
suit of her efforts she, is confined to
her home suffering with badly burned
hands and arms Her condition is
serious, but she will recover.
Late Thursday afternoon the little
boy and a number of the other child.
rem in the neighborhood were playing
about bonfire which had been start
ed by the children Of the neighbor-
hood. The little boy went too near
the fire and the flames reached out
and caught in his dresses. The other
children terror stricken fed from the
scene of the fire. The mother was at
work in the kitchen of the house and
hearing the screams Of the children
she rushed out in the yard in time to
see the flames wrapping the little fell
low, With cry of anguish she rush.
ed to the rescue of the boy and for
getting her own peril she gathered the
child in her arms and the flames from
his clothing were conveyed to hers and
in second portion of her clothing
had been burned from her arms and
breast. The woman rolled the child
on the ground and managed to ex-
tinguish the flames and then carried
! him into the house. In her anxiety
for the child she forgot all about her
own burns.
DR.. George E. Thompson was called
to attend the injured child, but when
he arrived he saw that the child had
been so terribly burned that there was
little or no hope of saving it IS life.
The child had been burned about the
face and hands and the hair was burn
| ed off. Great burns were found on
the back and legs. AS soon as pos
sible the little was covered with oils
/ =
in hopes that the pain might be les
sened. After many hours of suffer
ing death came to the little fellow
The mother suffering from the burns
on her hands waited by the bedside
of the boy until she could do no more
for him and then collapsed.
The death of the little boy caused
intense sorrow in the neighborhood as
he was a great favorite among the
children in that part of the city.
