THE SERUM TREATMENT.

The success of the treatment OF
hogs with hyper-immune Sera depends
not only upon the careful and scien-
tific method of preparation, but also
uDon its intelligent administration.
The serum is a preventative, not a
cure for hog cholera, and should not
be given to hogs already sick with
cholera. nor can it be expected to
prevent hogs from becoming sick
from other conditions; a correct dag
Hosis is therefore advised to protect
Its useless administration In herds
sick from some other cause.
The serum alone method is recon-
mended to be used in an already IN
fected herd upon apparently healthy
hogs only. Inject deeply into the
muscles of the inside of the ham the
proper dose of serum only. This me-
thod gives temporary immunity, last
ing from two to eight weeks if the
hog is not exposed to infectious ma
terial in the meantime. Should the
immunized hog be Immediately expos
ed to infection after treatment the
result would be a more permanent
Immunity conferred.
While it may be desirable to allow
the treated hogs to mix with the d.
-seased because of a possibility of a
E longer immunity being conferred 1t
must not be forgotten that so long
as the sick hogs are not destroyed
and the infected pens are not disin-
tected, there remains a center exist
ing for continuous opportunity for the
infection to be carried to other parts
of the neighborhOOd.
All inmunized hogs should either
be kept separate from the untreated
OF be marked in some way so that
the results of the serum may be &C
curately known. Before treatment it
is imperative that the we'll hogs be
kept away from the sick ones and
disinfection carried on. The dead
hogs should at all times be imme-
diately burned.
This method gives a more lasting
Immunity, but is attended with some
danger unless the treatment is ad-
ministered by a person who thorough
ly understands the precautions neces-
Ssry. In using this method, from one
han to one C. C. of virulent5 hog
cholera blood is injected into the
muscles of the inside of the ham on
one side, while at the same time the
proper dose of hyper-immune serum
is injected into the opposite ham in
the same manner as described for
the serum alone method. This meth
cd is recommended for non-infected
herds, or it may be used upon recent
ly infected herds, upon hogs that do
not show a temperature. higher than
100 degrees. F. 1t is the method to
use when the swine raiser wishes to
immunize his herd when infection has
not yet taken place, provided the en-
tire herd is treated. The serum
when used alone without the employ
ment of blood from sick hog, is en-
tiEely harmless and incapable of CIV
ing rise to an attack of chOlera.-Dr.
A T. Peters, Illinois.

Shakespeare.

The critics have not proven that
the plays known as Shakespeare's
were not written by the Stratford man
of that name. The Stratford man will
has the field, and is likely to have it
for an indefinite time to come. OF
course, it is possible that the discov-
cry Of now hidden archives may sud-
denly demonstrate to the world that
Bacon or some other man wrote the
immortal plays, but as things stand
today we must admit the Shake
spearean authorship or confess that
We know nothing at all as to who
their real author is.

It would be futile to attempt to
determine the time and place Of
the origin Of astrology. It is as
ancient as history itself. When we
first hear Of human society we find
along with it the excellent fop-
perry of the world" as Shake
speare called astrology. Astrol-
ogy was cultivated by the Chab
deans, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans,
and all other ancient peoples. So
strong was the art, or science, that
1t refused to go down in the gen.
eral smash-up. at the close Of the
cid Roman rule, but held on and
was powerful all through the mid
die ages. 1t was only with the
advent of modern science and en-.
lightenment as to natures laws
that the old scenoe Of the stars and
fates declined.

The farm receipts and profits can
not be easily computed on the basis
of a single years operation. Much
of this years labor brings its results
next year, and in fact for years to
come. For instance, the labor spent
in hauling manure on the fields this
year is labor the results of which wi ]
be reaped for o several years in the
future. The same thing is true of la
Dor expended in bringing new ground
into cultivation. The same condition
applies to the seeding of a field to
clover or to alfalfa. The years hay
crop can be measured and sold or fed
and the income easily arrived at.
However, the sale of the crop does
not represent the full income and ad-
vantage from the seeding Of the field
to these crops. The nitrogen supply
resulting from their growth will be
drawn upon the years to come by
wheat and corn. Numerous other in
stances of a like character might be
mentioned. So this years accounting
from the standpoint CT farm receipts
might be small and unsatisfactory, but
along with this should be considered
the character Of the farming dcne and
the methods employed and some esti-
mate in dollars and cents placed upon
the value of this years work to the
crops of next year or for an indefi-
mite future period.
