third, the length of time it takes
serum to reach its destination. and
fourth, cleaning the premises of in

stopped.
when disease appears among your
hogs. first make sure that it is cholera,
and If SO, vaccinate with serum fmme-
diately. A few hours delay may lose

cure, but a preventive and the more
infection there is in the system of an
animal the less likely is the serum to
| do its appointed work.
an order to obtain serum from the
college, first make application to the
live stock sanitary commissioner at
Topeka and he in turn win notify the
serum station and the serum will be
sent out.

about three months the control of the

! important. Place all hogs in a clean,
.non-infected pen. If any remain sick,
they should be put into close pen.

of Kansas provides fine for all per-

The White Squaw," stirring
American drama of the Michigan
forests, delighted large and enthu-
siastic audience at the Grand Opera
house last evening.
The scene of the play is laid in
1920 and the story deals with the
abduction of little white girl by
a band of Indians who bring her
up as one of their own race and give
her the title of the white Squaw. =
Ignorant of her own true history,
Neamata, as the white squaw is
known in the tribe, at first never
doubts that she is of Indian de-
scent, but at the opening of tho PLAY
she is troubled, upon meeting white
men for the first time, with vague
uncertainties.
young white woman, who is in reali-
ty the sister of Neamata, gives OPP
portunity for a number of intensely
interesting scenes before the true
state of affairs becomes known to
either of the sisters.
Under the teachings of Jacques
Cautier, ali honest French Canadian
trapper, who loves her devotedly,
Neamata finally guesses at her true
origin and after a series of compli-
cations the truth is finally estab-
lished.
The production IS exce'lently
staged, the scenes in the Indian wig
wan an tepee being especially real
istic. The Indian costumes are not
able in their strict adherence to the
most minute detail.

grounds.
Secretary Davis announces that
in the number and quality of ex-
hibits the fair this year will surpass
all the others. Over 500 head of cat
tie have been entered. This large
number embraces all the breeds and
as cattle show it is safe to say
nothing in the fair line this fall will
rival the Vermont State Fair.
The horse department will show
over 500 entries. These include
the Morgans, the Percherons, the
~ nothing finer in the horse line
could have possibly been assem-
bled.
The sheep department will show
over 600 head and the swine de-
partment will be larger than ever.
So great have been the entries
in the poultry department that late
arrivals will be assigned to locA-
lions beneath canvas, the poultry
shed having filled beyond it's cap
acity. One exhibitor has entered
five carloads of poultry.
All over the state interest is
shown in the exhibition mile to be
trotted by the wonderful horse
Uhlan, record 1881. The horse
will be at the fair every day.
Jimmy Word" the 10 year old
aviator, will make three flights
