THE SERUM TREATMENT FOR
HOG CHOLERA,

Hog cholera is getting in it's deadly
ravages in a good many sections, and
word about the serum treatment may
be welcome to some who live in Sec
tons where the disease is spreading.
A number of state legislatures have set
aside flu to cover the cost of the
manufacture of the serum. the state
veterinary department making the Sc
rum and selling it to farmers Of the
state at cost. The Nebraska Agricul-
tural college at Lincoln has recently
issued a timely little bulletin on the
subject, and the following data, while
taken from this publication. is of gen.
eral interest and would apply to any
section. To secure q serum of uniform
quality 1t is necessary to mix the four
bleedings from each hog. then mix
those from number of hogs and test
carefully before sending out. 1t has
been found that the serum costs =
cents per cubic centimeter to make,
while the dose recommended is twenty
cubic centimeters per 100 pounds of
hog and for pigs weighing less than
100 pounds. On this basis the treat
ment for hog weighing compounds
would cost $1.20, which is an expense
surely justifable on a hog selling at
So per hundredweight and particularly
so in the case of valuable pure bred
animals. The pamphlet in question sug-
gests calling a qualified veterinarian at
once on the appearance of sickness re-
sembling cholera in the herd, the kill
ing Of a sick pig and ascertaining the
real character Of the disease at once
by a postmortem examination. Unless
the disease is indicated the serum
should not be given, as it would render
the hogs immune but three or four
weeks. 1t is Of no use to give a sick
hog the treatment. Only we'll hogs
that have been exposed to cholera
should receive the injection of serum.
Otherwise a lasting immunity will not
result. Some hogs that have had the
germs in their systems several days
will likely die in spite Of the treat
ment. Where one cannot secure the
aid Of veterinary surgeon the farmer
can treat the hogs himself provided he
exercises the necessary precautions.
The hogs should be in a dry, clean
place at least twenty-fOur hours be-
fore receiving the treatment. In addi-
ton to the serum, which should have
been got direct from the state veteri-
nary department, and one should have
a ten cubic centimeter syringe, the hog
to be treated should have the inside of
the thighs washed thoroughly with a
8 per cent solution of some good coal
tar dip, and the serum should be in
jected deeply into the muscles, not
over twenty cubic centimeters being
put in one place. The serum may be
injected just under the skin of the abb
domen, but it is not so readily abb
Sorbed The bulletin above referred
to does not make reference to it, but a
point that should be emphasized is the
wisdom of steering clear of serums
advertised at a bargain price by ir-
responsible firms. No serum should be
used except that furnished by the state
department or a firm rec
commended by it.

Seeking a Way Out.

That the men who control the
big industrial corporations OF the
country are convinced that the
people are determined to break
up these monopolies, and that
they are seeking way to escape
this mandate of the people, are
among the more important facts
brought out by the Senate trust
investigating committee.
Louis D. Brandeis, the noted
Boston lawyer, told the commit
tee that the statements of Mr..
Gary and Mr.. Perkins that the
trusts were willing to accept a
price fixing law, were only appar-
ent concessions. What the mag
mates want, Mr.. Brandeis said, is
the passage of the Aldrich mon
etary scheme, which will insure
the continuance of a centralized
control of money credit, on which
all business depends. These mag
mates, the lawyer testified, are
bending every effort to gain the
enactment of the Aldrich plan iu-
to law, and one of their methods,
he said, was to blind the people
to their real purpose by making
them believe the trusts are will
ing to surrender.

PRIMITIVE SURVEYING.
Beers With the Fleetest Horses Got
the Biggest Farms.

the Biggest Farms.
According to q legend of Shutdown.
n. Y. the township was originally
measured off by a primitive method.
The first settler was one Smith. who
bought from the Indians as much land
as a bull could go around in day.
Now. Smith had q smart bull. trained
to carry him and to half trot and half
lope at a rapid pace. That day the
bull was up to the mark. By night he
had inclosed so much land that the
amazed Indians nicknamed its rider
Bull Smith.
This tradition has its counterpart
among the Beers Of South Africa
Their "runs." as the farms of these
Dutchmen are called, contain, general
~ speaking, from 1900 to 5000 acres,
of which only a few acres are under
cultivation. Small monuments OF
stones piled up at certain points mark
the boundary lines.
The first settlers. knowing nothing
of surveying, measured off then
"runs' by horsepower. Having pileo
up q lot of stones, the Beers would
start from them and ride in straigh!
line for half an hour as fast 'as theil
horses could carry them.
Hating, each rider would build an
other beacon and again ride for halls
an hour at right angles to his first line
Then he would pile up another ston'
beacon. Two more turns and an houi
more of riding brought him back to
his starting point.
The square tract inclosed within the
two hours ride and the four beaconf
became his farm. OF course the Boef
who owned the feetest horse obtained
the largest tract of land.-Harper's

provements in its meat packing plant.
A slaughter honse, 18x26 feet, with
foundation wall five feet high and eight
inches thick. The floor is of cement
and everything about the structure is
strictly sanitary and in keeping with
the provisions of the State Pure Food

$4,000 pounds Of hams and bacon last
year, besides supplying its local trade.
One Of the large contracts handled last
year was that OF supplying the Clear

which would grant the husband the

concurred. Justice Ailshie sat at the
hearing, but did not participate in the
consideration of the case.
The court says: "Upon the affidavits
made, which are so general and vicious
as to cause anyone to pause and doubt
long pe1ore the statements could be ac-
cepted as being truthful, it no doubt

determine who had sworn to the truth.
And that court, after reading the affida-

heard the divorce trial and observed
the parties who testified, conclnded
upon such hearing to refuse to open

hold that the trial court abused its legal
