KANSAS TOPICS
FARMER is WILLING
TO LOAN HIS HORSES
"Lord Spared My Stock" He Says, ~
Have 20 Head of Hlorses-Those
Who Need Them Are Welcome"

Hutchinson, Kan.-"The Lord has
spared my stock. My horses have
gone through the epidemic without
loss. | have twenty head of horses
to loan to my less fortuante neigh
bors without charge, for blowing.
Those who need are welcome to them.
(Signed.) PETER SCHOFIELD."
This notice, posted on the bulletin
board of the country store and school
at LOSER, Hodgeman county is typi-
cal of the offers now being made by
generous, big-hearted farmers through
out the horse epidemic district.
Many tenant farmers have sustained
heavy losses of horses, and are fac1
ing even more desperate straits be-
cause of not having blowing done, and
no horses with which to pillow.
Elmer Griffith of near Burdett, Paw
nee county, has announced that he has
fifteen head of good work mules which
he is not using and which any of his
neighbors who need can use.
John Henrehs of near Thinker, Rush
county, made a similar offer. He has
been fortunate in not losing any
horses and has turned them over to
his less fortunate neighbors.

KANSAS BANKS GAIN
ABOUT $7,5oo,ooo
Statement on September Call Shows
Material 90-Day Increase.

Topeka, Kan.-According to the
bank statement just issued by the
state bank commissioner, the deposits
in the 902 state banks have increased
nearly $7,5OO,000 in the past ninety
days. The total deposits September
II, when the call was made, amounted
to $106,049,142.
In commenting on the statement,
Acting Bank Commissioner S. A. War
dell said: =
"The result of the compilation OF
the qaurterly statement of September
II, shows the Kansas STATE banks to
be in a strong financial position. A
very decided advance has been made
along all lines that tend to make the
banking situation stronger. The large
increase in deposits, nearly $7,5OO,00O
for the past ninety days, is indeed sat
isfactory. The state banks also have
strengthened their reserve one and
one-half points since the last call. De-
tally for the next few months. A large
part of the wheat crop rs still in the
elevators and the farmers hands, and
very good corn crop is yet to be
realized upon
kansas business conditions are flat
tering in all lines with excellent fall
and winter trade assured to the mer-
chants and retailers. This promises to
be a season of marked liquidation as
is shown by the substantial decrease
of 1914 per cent in rediscounts and
borrowed money and it is believed the
greater per cent of the proceeds from
the sale of the 1912 crop will be ap-
piled to the payment of existing in
debtedness.

NO HOGS IMMUNE FROM
CHOLERA, SAYS COBURN
Secretary of Agriculture Says No
Breed ia Free From the Disease.

No hogs are immune from cholera,
according to Secretary F. D. Coburn
of the state board of agriculture, and
the Kansas farmers who are buying
'mulefoot" hogs for breeding purposes,
believing them to be immune from the
disease are misled. Mr.. Coburn made
the above statement wnen he learned
from the newspapers that the farmers
of Lyons county are buying such hogs
in Indiana because they are cholera
for believing that because hog is
a freak that it is immune from chol-
era or any other disease.
The published statements that
farmers in Lyon county are buying in
Indiana for breeding purposes hogs OF
the 'mulefoot' breed because these
hogs are 'cholera-proof' are liable to
be quite misleading" said Mr. Coburn.
There is no breed of hogs immune
from cholera or any other swine dis
ease, although some of the parties
who have the mulefoot stock for sale
so persistently claim immunity for
their hogs that number of farmers
who have suffered severe losses from
cholera are easily tempted to expert
ment with almost any breed that they
hear is less subject to the scourge so
common and so dreaded. l trust no
Kansas farmer is so much of boob
as to believe that because a pig is
born q freak to the extent Of not hav-
ing the usual cleft in his hoofs he is
necessarily any more hardy than 9th
ers with feet of the regulation pattern,
There are mulefoot hogs of fairly
good quality and it is not impossible
that the fact Of their recent semi-wild
ancestors having roamed and rustled
in the forests of the OZarks, Arkansas
and eastern Texas for century or
more gives them a constitutional har-
diness and disease resistance not pos
sessed by some of their over-corned
and pampered kin of the cloven ,hoof,
but the man who buys them thinking
they are proof against the maladies
common to other and improved breeds
is misled."

Hutchinson, Kan.-The officers at
Hutchinson have for some time been

The fermented corn at the bottom OF

To Aid plaque Sufferers.

Governor w. R. Stubs approves
the suggestion made by Frank U.
Russell of Lacrosse that the farmers
who lost $4,000 horses IN the plague,
which has prevailed in many Kansas
counties during the last few weeks
should be exempted from paying taxes
on the animals. In a letter VIZ .tten
to Russell, the governor says: Il have
asked the state tax committee what
they could do in the line of relief, but
[ found them to be powerless under
the law. | can think of but one way
to have the taxes related to those
who lost horses. 1t is this: If the suf-
ferers will let one-half their taxes go
unpaid until June, the legislature, in
the meantime will meet, and all of
us can get behind a demand that a
bill of relief be passed. Under this
bill county treasurers can be author
ityized to deduct an amount equiva-
lent to what the tax on the dead
horses would be- l shall favor that
or some other adequate means of deal

bad luck to lose horses that they need

Lawrence, Kan-Vaccines of all
kinds are worse than useless in treat
Ing or preventing the horse scourge
which has killed so many horses In
western and central Kansas, accord
ing to DR.. S. j. Hunter head or the
Kansas university chronological de-
partment, and DR.. w. X. Trimble, spe-
cial Investigator from K. U.
These two men, in connection with
others. have carried out exhaustive
tests and experiments at Ness CITY,
where the X. U. authorities establish
ed a special experiment station when
the plague became so serious. Their
theory is not hastily reached and is
made only after many experiments
and elaboration.
According to the X. U. scientists
the horse scourge is not germ dis
case and is not contagious. 1t results
from foreign poisoning and is believed
TO be due to some fungus with when
pastures and some forage crops nave
become infected.
With these known facts to work on
the finding of cure and preventive
measures were easy. Giving the horses
clean water and forage and grain
which has not been infected with the
poisonous fungus will prevent the
disease" according to these K. U,
authorities, and the same measures
with proper elimination measures,
will cure the animals which have de-
yeloped the disease" At Ness City
DR.. Trimble conducted physiological
test which proved conclusively that
the trouble is not a germ disease. He
took five animals suffering from the
trouble and cured them merely by
flushing to hasten elimination and by
cutting down their rations and feeding
only clean hay, grain and water
Both these x. U. scientists condemn
the use of vaccines, declaring that
the mortality is higher among vaccln-
ated horses than among those not vac
cinated.

fact the weight of evidence is against
the germ theory. Consequently, to vac
cinate horses is the height of folly.

cinated horses was greater than that
of unvaccinated animals" said Dr..
Hunter. "The trouble is not caused
by worms. Neither is it spinal menin-
gifts. 1t is forage poisoning, and 1t
is prevalent to greater or less de-
gree in fifteen states of the union at
the present time. One hundred eX-
periments at our experimental station

tions of clean hay and feed, with pure
water is the most effective antidote,
