mixed infection of catarrhal pneu-
monia and swine plague, with pos
sibly some hog cholera where great
diarrohea is present. As the germ
causing hog cholera has never been
seen, one must use their judgment
in this diagnosis.
For the benefit Of the hog raisers
we would offer the following sug-
gestions:
Follow the instructions and quar-
antine regulations of Deputy State
Veterinarian Smith a. closely as pos
sible.
9. Divide large herds into small
bunches to prevent crowding sweat
ing, and consequent pneumonia.
,. Separate healthy from sick at
once.
I. Provide dry pens and clean
yards.
). Kill the lice. As dipping Is
not advisable during cold weather,
disinfect the pens with a ten per
cent solution Of formalin or five per
cent crude carbolic acid in white
wash. Dust the hogs with insect
powder or put creolin in the wailow
&. Bury deep and saturate with
coal oil or burn all dead carcasses.
!. If two punches Of hogs are on
the place, one sick and one well the
person taking care of the sick buncf
should keep disinfected and away
from the healthy ones.
We are sorry we did not know o
the disease several months ago. W
will always be glad to assist in an.
way to eradicate disease, and NOR
especially to investigate the caus
and suggest treatment. My thank
are especially due DR.. F. +. Free
man, who assisted me in every wa
to get specimens, and to Mr.. Nina
for informing me OF the outbreab

GUARD AGAINST 1T.

Reference has been made in these
columns regarding the hog disease
that has been prevalent in different
sections of Southern Idaho, and
while we have not heard Of many |
cases in this section, il is we'll for
our farmers to use all due precau-
ton in preventing any spread of
this disease over the North Side
tract. In this connection the fol-
lowing letter from f. T. Baker,
Professor of Veterinary Science in
the University at Moscow, should
be read with interest by our hog
raisers. Mr. Baker has made a
personal investigation of the disease
as reported from the South Side
tract, and his letter is the result of
this investigation.
Moscow, Idaho, Nov. %, 1912.
Buhl, Idaho;
Dear Sir:
Relative to the swine disease in
southern Idaho, the writer investi-
gated the trouble for several days
and also took cultures of the blood
back to the University for micro
scopical examination by the Bacter'
iological department. Two forms
of germs were found: One, a small
round microbe, measuring abou
II 900 to the inch, and greatly re
sembling the causative of pneumo
MIA; the other short, blunt bacil
lus, measuring about Ii, 900 to tn
inch, resembling the causative q
swine plague.
Several lice on infected hogs wer
also brought for study, and reveale
the same germs in their alimentar
. canal. As lice are blood suckers
the germs are found in the blood
this relationship may result in lie
being partial transmitters of til
disease.
We have several rabbits inoculate
but not enough time has elapsed
definitely determine the exact cau'
l. or the exact name of the diseas
o At the present time we feel rea
onably sure that the disease is

NIGHT SIGNALS FOR AiRMEN
illuminated Captive Balloons Used in Germany to Guide Aeronauts
 by Night.

The progress of aircraft in Ger many is well indicated by the fact that illuminated captive balloons are now being used for the purpose of guiding aeronauts by night. One of these has lately been placed at Treplow, between Berlin and Stet- tin. The balloon, which is 21a me- ters (about eight feet) in diameter, is of 6 red color and carries an elec- tric light.
 It is visible for a great distance at night, and is easily distinguished from any other light In case of fog, when the light could not be seen, an electric bell is caused to ring by means of hygrometer at tached. In this way it is possible for a person in charge to ascertain the height of the fog zone and cause the balloon to ascend into a less moist and clearer atmosphere, when the bell will cease ringing.

Amount
 to Letter and Order Number

Few farmers have a definite idea of the total amount of money invested in farm machinery. If you were to ask John Smith how much his farm machinery was worth he would be un- able to answer you. He would proba- ply tell you that the different imple- ments cost so much and that there were a number of repairs for several of these. That these implements were so many years old, and were probably worth only about half of what they were at first. Possibly he had bought some of these secondhand. and had never kept any record of the money invested in farm machinery.
 Farming being a business, should be run on business principles, if one Is to know where he is making or losing money. So with the machinery the first cost and repairs should be re- corded and strict account kept of all labors involved in the up-keep of the different farm machines. This can only be done by regular business meth ods. The operator of the small farm may feel that this is not important, and from his point of view 1t may not be. Yet actual experience shows that un- less some records are kept in operat- ing farm 1t is extremely difficult to

will furnish the necessary information, as, "One machine bolt 212 inches by B inches" This, with others which may be required, may be purchased in one order, which will probably result in saving of one-half.
 While this system may seem at first thought somewhat cumbersome, a glance at the suggested sheet vsll show that it vii in the end save time and money, and at the same time dis pense with worry and aggravation at a very busy season of the year.
 When the repairs and special bolts have arrived, take them with an extra supply of bolts, nuts and split cot ters and kit of tools. Proceed with the work as occasion permits, and in a short time all of the home work is completed. The work usually done at the village shop should be noted and the list left In convenient place so that no extra time is required in To- eating it and arranging for the work.
 Some farms are fortunate enough to have their own shop, and where such conditions exist 1t is not necessary to take the blow shares to the village for sharpening, but this and many oth- CT kinds of such work can be done at home. The large farms having great
