Mills Will Not Open.

| Wesson.-It seems that all prospects
of the Mississippi Mills resuming opera
tons any time soon is thing of the
past. 1t was thought by the people here
that att,r the first of February change
in management would be made that
would give life to everything connected
with the mills as well as the town. 1t
is learned here that the property has
again gone back to the hands of the
original bordholdors. Nearly all of the
row material has already been removed.

Need Of Hog Cholera Serun1 Reported

Most of these demonstrations con-
sisted Of treating a part of the dis
eased herd and leaving the remainder
untreated. At Kansas City, however.
a more thoroue', test was made, the
results Of which were very interesting
and demonstrated conclusively the
efficiency Of the serum as a preventive
for hog cholera.
The test was made in the stock
yards at Kansas City, on the request

change and Of individuals interested
in the subject Thirty-fve young
shoats were purchased from farm

These pigs were carried to the Kan

Of a committee appointed by the eX-
change, were treated and the experts
say that 10 more convincing truth of
the efficacy Of this serum could be
obtained than is afforded by this ex-
pertinent.
The agricultural department feels
that the subject is Of such Importance
as to warrant state legislatures giving
ii immediate attention. Hog cholera,
it is pointed out, has caused a loss to
the farmers Of the country of mill
lions Of dollars annually. Now that
the government has discovered Sc
rum through the use of which this
dread disease may be prevented state
authorities should not delay in pro.
viding for the use of this serum.
