sEse Hog Cholera prevails in this
seq on, ! feel that it is my duty to
pace before the public Jan article in
regard to the methods by which this
disease may be spread, also giving a
few rules as to the sanitary steps to
take before and even after this disease
appears in localities.
Experiments have taught that this
disease is caused by germ, therefore
the infection may be carried In many
ways.
MODES OF INFECTION.
One of the most common ways is
the purchase Of hog from an infected
herd and placing it among sound hogs.
The infection may be caused from one
farm to another upon the attendants
shows; or upon the whee's of wagons,
driven from one farm to another.
Horses and cattle though are not ca
pable of containing the disease may
carry the infection upon their feet.
Dogs and buzzards feeding upon the
carcasses of hogs died from this disease
may spread the infection. Furthermore
it may be carried down a stream of

A REJOlNDER TO "BIC BUD."

Only small space is asked for re-
ply to "Big Bud
The principle advocated, that where
a question of taxation is involved, the
right of franchise should be restricted
to property owners, may, in the abb
stract. be fair and just; but this princi-
pie carried to the logical conclusion,
would establish an Aristocracy, where
none could vote but property owners,
This doctrine is contrary to the good
old principle of equal right to lalll."
The tendency Of the time is in favor Of
UNIVERSAL suffrage, Today. our U. s.
Senators are selected by the people,
and many are advocating direct vote
for the president.
You begin to restrict the right of suf-
| frage on this point, and on that, and
you establish precedent dangerous to
the liberties Of the people. All unsur-
pations Of power are the result ofsmall
begianings. - -T---
To say that bond issue IL squirelen,
to mortgage or property, It but an ap
peal to prejudice. The bond Is no more
a mortgage than is any other tax, be-
cause your property can be seized and
sold for taxes, just the same as If q
mortgage had been given.

A Prairie Farmer ON Good Roads. {"

Editor Beacon:--
have thought that instead Of an ar
ticle on good roads from me, it would
be more profitable and more interest
ing to give the salient points:of speech
made in Congress recently by our able
representative from the first district,
Hon. E, S. Gambler. So this will be a
compilation, with no claims to origi-
nality.
''The policy of improving harbors and
rivers, is co-eval with the existence of
the Government. From its organiza-
tion until July l, 1911, the sum of ap-
propiations for this purpose is 1868, 914,-
237.68.
In striking contrast has been its poll
cy with regard to public highways. In
the early days of the Republic, some
thing like $4,000, 900 was appropriated
for the construction of public highways.
but since the era of railroad construc-
tion began, no appropriations have been
made for this purpose.
In the last quarter of a century. many
of the states, have recognized the abso-
lutte necessity for road improvements,
and have given aid for this purpose.
During the year 1911, thirty-one of the
states have appropriated for this object
$21 ZOO, 900. Local bond issues, and other
local resources, have swelled this amount
to $142, 144, 100, so. 1t will surprise most
of our people to know that the counties
and municipalities in Mississippi in the
last year spent SO, l30. 900 for road build
ing. Shall the county of Noxubee,
with her boasted intelligence and wealth
lag behind in this all-important work.
About Is years ago, the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads was established by the Depart
ment Agriculture. It's function is ad.
visory, with an admixture of expert
mentation, upon which are based valu
BILE suggestions and advice to road
builders. 1t must be given credit for a
considerable share in the stimulation o.
interest in the building of good roads.
1t has been truthfully said that thu
United States had the finest railroads
and the poorest highways in the world
Why? Because the farmers, who have
the greatest immediate interest in gooo
roads, have not exerted the necessary
pressure to get them.
The American farmer pays more fol
hauling his produce to market, than the
farmer of any other country in the
world. Statistics from the Department
of Agriculture ,show that it costs the
American farmer 10 cents per ton-mile
to get to market his hay, about the
same for grain, and q cents for cotton.
In France. the cost per ton. mile is II u
cents, in England IL cents. in Germany
from 6N to IL cents. These figures
show that the American farmer pays
from 40 per cent to rs per cent more for
hauling than the farmer of any other
country.
1t is historical fact that no nation
can be called great until it has become
a road builder. The Greece Of Alpibias

These negotiations were delayed, first
by reason Of the time required TO
