At this time, April, 1911, have been
well and robust for five months. My

Dairyman's Responsibility
For Poisonous Milk.

A dairyman in Atlanta, Ca, was
fnel $50 recently for violating the
milk ordinance Of that city The
dairyman, who ran clean dairy,
had permitted one Of his drivers to
purchase milk from another dealer
in violation Of the ordinance which
requires milk-dealers to inform the
health board ofsthosoulce Of all milk
sold. The milk Of the second dealer
was not wholesome. An interesting
angle was impartee tothecasewhich
may serve as warning to milk
dealers who wish to avoid she ex-
pense of damrge suits, One of the
chief witnesses against the dairyman
testified that his 2-year-old daughter
had become seriously i'll from pto-
main poisoning caused by poison
Gus milk purchased from the dairy
man ON trial, and his testimony was
corroborated by two physicians. The
witness declared that if his daugh-
ter died the dairyman would Re held
responsible. The dairyman admitted
that it was the practice Of his drivers
to purchase milk from other milk
dealers when their supply ran short
With this direct testimony that the
illness was due to improperly in
spected milk, ii would seem that
the dairyman might be held re-
sponsible in damages, though just
what CONT Or jury might take on
the question is, Of course, profile
mattcal. The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association says that
the case suggests another forceful
reason why the ordinances as laid
down, but with the measures which
soiency and experience have proved
to be esseutial to the production of
safe milk. When he finds that his
pocketbook may be touched in this
way, he will be more ready to com
ply with the requirements.

Hog Cholera Preventive Serum.

Hog cholera, a highly contagious
disease of swine, is the most serious
hindranoe to pork production in
Georgia. This year the loss to swine
owners of the state on account gifts
ravages will mount welt into the
hundreds OF thousand dollars. The
farmers Of the South are just realiz-
ing the benefits which they may de
rive from a we'll developed swine
industry and such losses as have
been suffered this year are indeed
discouraging and inclined to make
farmers of effected ettions lose in
terest in hog raising. In many
localities entire herds have been
wiped out and in others the per-
centage Of loss has been high,
The writer during the past sum-
mer has visited many counties in
which the disease was or had been
prevalent and the reports from the
various farmers interviewed were
very similar and strongly pointed
out the fact, already well known BY
veterinarians and well informed
ssockmen, that medicinal treatment
Of hog cholera with home remedies
and proprietary preparations is a
comparative failure.
On the other hand reports from
those who have used Hog Cholera
Serum on their herds are uniformly
good. In many instances serum
was used as a preventive measure,
an insurance, so to speak. on herds
in localities in which the disease
was prevalent and these herds es-
capped without loss. In many other
cases it was used on herds after the
disease had gained a foothOld and
reports from its use in such instan-,

IL crosse.

The game known at ia crosse was
originally played by the Canadian IN
dams and from them adopted success
sively by the French and English set
tiers and by them introduced to the
United States. The object of the
game is to drive the ball through
goals situated at each end of the
field. The players are usually twelve
on side. In 1857 the La Crosse As
sociation of Canada was formed and
an Indian team visited Great Britain,
creating great excitement. The game

History Of the Potomac River.

The great Potomac gorge was not
always, as it is today, one Of the
most beautiful and picturesque Of
river valleys. The United States
Geological Survey has recently pub
lished a geologic folio describing
about AGO square miles, including d
portion Of the Potomac Valley-the
areas known as the Pawpaw and
Hancock quadrangles, in Pennsy-
lvania, Maryland, and West Vir-
ginia. This folio (No. 1872, which
was written by George w. Stose,
contains a most interesting account
Of the gradual cutting down by the
river of this deep gorge during thou
sands Of years.
The area is located in a part Of the
Potomac Valley where the river
winds in great curves through deep
gorge with densely wooded slopes.
AS the railroad traveller swings
around these sharp bends which
almost meet before the reverse and
realize that it takes three times as
long to ride between two points as it
would to go in straight line, he may
wonder how the river acquired such
"a course.
Tn a view from the tops of the
ridges, it can be seen that many OF
the hilltops are flat and ofabout the
same altitude, and that if the val
leps were filed up they would form
a nearly level plain. This feature
i is also excellently shown by the
topographic map which forms part
of the folio. Mr.. Stoee says that
many thousand years ago the Poto-
mac flowed toward the sea upon this
plain, which at that time was much
lower in altitude-in feet, SO near
the level Of the sea that the stream
was very sluggish and wandered
about in its valley, as is the custom
Of streams with low grade, such as
the Mississippi. Later, when the in
terror of the continent was some
what elevated, the streams became
reiuvenated'' and cut down their
channels, first into the soft detritus
which had accumulated in the fiat
valley and eventually into the hard
rocks beneath. As the continent
rose still higher, they cut deeper in
to the rocks, and, as a result, the
Potomac is now deeply intrenched
in these winding gorges. One stream
in the area, however, is making a
change by cutting off a meander and
taking a shart cut through a hill,
producing a beautiful cataract. This
stream is shown in the Photographic
Illustrations Of the folio, as are also
the remnants Of the elevated plain
on the hilltops, once the valley Of
the Potomac.
