The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-02-17

Before the advent of the automobile
It was customary for at least one or
two horses Of the carriage type to be
kept on the farm to do the necessary
fast road work and occasional odds
and ends OF light farm jobs.
The carriage horse has already been
replaced 10 a large extent In towns
and cities " motor cars. This is true
of the fashionable turnout as we'll as
of horses used for light business driv
ing such as is occasioned by physi
clans. and business men. 1t is not at
all unlikely that after the first wave
of excitement attending the motoring
craze has passed over that many. es
pecially. those of liberal means. will
turn again to the carriage horse.
Though many Michigan farmers have
procured automobiles, I does not seem
possible that they can replace the
horse throughout the entire year. Mo.
tor cars may be used In northern
cities through the entire year on
paved streets where heavy falls Of
snow soon become packed down or the
excess Is removed. As these condi
lions do not prevail throughout the

CULLOM star IN
L0RIMER FIGHT
Flood of Messages Going to the
Senior Senator.
LEN SMALL ENGINEERS COUP
Man Who Will Decide the Fate
Of Lorimer When the
Senate Takes Vote.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. Ex-senator
Shelby Nj. Cuilom, figured on the as
sumption that his vote in the senate
will decide the fate of his colleague,
William Lorimer, is the center of a
movement which friends of the sena-
tor declare may drive him to his grave.
A deluge OF letters, kilograms and per-
sonal messages has been started from
the state capital, his old home, and
through all his career the political
headquarters OF Senator Cullom, to in
"uerce his vote On Lorimer.
Premature revelation of the plan,
which Is said to hav. been quietly en-
gineered by Mr.. Lormers friends to
influence Senator Cullom to vote for
Lorimer aroused the anti-Lorimer ele.
ment in the Legislature, with the re.
suit that the senior senator Is between
two fires from his home state.
Len Small of Kankakee, the United
States subtreasurer at Chicago is said
to have been the general of the move
ment. MIR. Small was one of the
guests at the Lincoln day banquet. He
had other business than that of dispos-
ing Of the courses at the banquet, and
is said to have wasted no opportunity
to meet the Lorimer followers In the
legislature and urge them to get
busy" Immediately by letter of tele-
graph with the senior senator.
The Lorimer supporters sent their
letters at once The anti-Lorimer leg.
islators heard of the new move and
started their work. with the result
that with the reconvening of the leg
islature every member was approach
ed and the stream was started not
only from Springfield, but from hun
dreds of constituents in every part of
the state.
Figures which the Springfield states
men have secured direct from the in.
ner circles of Washington show that
the vote of Senator Cullom will settle
whether MIR. torimer is to continue In
office or be ousted. The vote, not
counting that of Senator Cullom or
Lorimer or the four who will not be
counted on account of being either
dead or absent, is figured at AZ for to
43 against.
II Cullom should vote against Lori
mer and Senator Aldrich should re-
turn to his seat in time to- vote, the
count would be A to A and the final
decision, Lorimer not voting, would
be with Vice President Sherman.
However, it is not figured that Aid
rich by any possibility will return, so
that the fate of the junior senator
rests with Cullom.

The Farmers Driving Horse

farming communities. there are often
long periods Of deep snow or soft
roads when the horse only can be re.
lied on.
1t would seem unfortunate for the
supply Of driving horses to diminish
materially, and it Is to be hoped that
the present prices for good ones Will
continue to prevail. The farmer should
put forth greater efforts To produce a
good type of road horse They are
more difficult to produce, rear and
train to high state of perfection than
the heavier types.
1t is not an expensive matter to
rear a good horse; under proper feed
care and management, the mare may
be worked on the farm throughout al.
most until foaling. On farms with pas.
lures well shaded and watered the
summer maintenance of the colt Is
not a large item of expense, and a
good growth can be produced at mod.
crate cost If care is taken to furnish
nutritious feeds Of the less expensiN
sorts. 1t is TO be hoped that the rear.
my of coed horses will continue TO o"
cupy place on Michigan farms in the
future. X. S. SHAW.

The Hog Cholera Situation

" OG cholera, like the poor, we have

measure robbed of it's terrors. While
1t cannot be said that the end of hog
cholera is in sight, it has been clearly

ing states, that the loss of any con.
siderable portion Of the herd from
cholera is due to inexcusable neglect
or ignorance. 1t is now just as much
an established fact that the Dorset.
Niles hog cholera serum will prevent
hog cholera in sound pigs as it is that
susceptible pigs will contract hog
cholera when sufficiently exposed to
the infection.
Readers Of the agricultural press
and the experiment station publica-

manufacture and the nature of hog

the laboratory workers engaged in its
manufacture or the field agents en-.
gagged in its application throughout the
country have met with no reverses
A tale of uninterrupted successes with
hog cholera serum would be at vari-

Farmers engaged in swine produc.

IitOffhl Ot' PROTECTING N
SUSCEPTIBLE PIG AGAINST HOG
CHOLERA INFECTION. A complete
explanation for this phenomenon can.
not be given. We understand very
poorly the nature of hog cholera virus
and, consequently, all that pertains TO
hog cholera serum production. The
above stated fact, nevertheless, is In.
controvertible.
We must enlarge upon the assertion
that a protective serum can be pro.
duced against hog cholera. This seems
desirable in order to help explain why
the campaign against hog cholera has
not been more fruitful, since now for
over two years a preventive Of hog
cholera has received such reliable en-
dorsement
In the first place, the production Of
hog cholera serum is complicated by
many difficulties. There are so many
factors involved, and each so hard to
control. The difficulty in getting suit
able pigs for the work, and their in.
ordinately high price, the expense Of
thoroughly testing all the serum be-
fore sending it out, and the frequent
lack of potency Of serum even when
all the requirements of the process
seem to have been fulfilled-these in.
fluences and others initiate against
the production Of serum that will
answer the requirements Of available
ity, efficiency, safety, ease Of applica-
ton and, above all, cheapness.
Efforts made to produce a satisfac.
tory serum or vaccine based upon rad.
ically different methods of serum ap
plication have met with discouraging
results. 1t seems to be for the in
terests of the swine breeders that we
continue our policy of developing and
improving the hog cholera serum along
the lines pursued since the inaurgura
ton of the work. Our confidence i'll
the efficiency of the serum has been
shared by many of the most extensive
swine breeders of several states.
Efforts toward rigorous testing Of
serum and the use Of only that CT high
potency are expected OF public lab
not necessarily a serious considera.
ton. Even under the control of
public laboratory, IL the bare expenses
Of serum production are to be met
by the sale of the product, the price Of
the serum seems prohibitive to the
average swine raiser. Our observa'
tons lead TO the opinion that those
who use hog cholera serum are not
only farmers, but very keen business
men who, having once used 1t In tho
presence Of danger, continue 10 do so
under similar circumstances. 1t is not
a difficult proposition to sell sure
cure" to a farmer whose mental state
is upset by the impending danger OF
an uncomfortable plague wiping out
his capital invested In his herds. To
receive, however, the repeated and un.
solicited patronage of careful business
men who have had ample opportunity
to test the qualities OF an expensive
preventive serum is measure of sue
cess.
A sound, theoretical plan for state.
wide control of hog cholera, involving
the use of hog cholera serum, has been
worked out by scientists interested in
the problem. Whether such plan
should be given a practical test with
state aid and supervision is subject
for the livestock men of the state TO
consider. Those engaged in studying
the disease are ever ready to cooper
ate when the farmers themselves
mean business.

PREVENTION is the ONLY ALTER

There is only one means known to us
by which a farmer may retain his
hogs safely in the presence of hog
cholera, and this is by treating them
with hog cholera serum prepared by
the Dorset-Niles method.

There appears TO be no abatement in
the lively determination to take over
the Vernon county tobacco crop For
four weeks there has been an army Of
men, local and from all sections of the
country, travelling through the rural
districts taking note of weed conditions,
and for the past fortnight their efforts
and energy have been directed 10 pur-
chasing the farmers holdings of tob-
acco. Unusually tempting figures have
prevailed, scarcely anY crops heingi ~
less than eleven cents, the highest Of
teen. The average has been about
thirteen and four, while a great num-
Der have been contracted at fourteen
and two. Buyers have been so numer-
Gus that they have monopolized not a
little of the farmers time in efforts to
close contracts. We should Judge that
good majority of crops have been
purchased, and there appears TO be no
let-up in efforts to take over the bal
ance of the acreage of the county.
Up to Saturday night last about one
farmer in four had commenced tobacco
harvest in limited way. Scarcely a
field in the whole surrounding growing
territory will this week escape the
axe and spud, and the height Of the
harvest will be about the closing days
