Lisbon, oct. |. Consumption of in
toxicating liquors in North Dakota has
decreased from l.35 gallon per capita in
1910 to such a small amount in 1911 that

but put only ciphers in that column for

Elizabeth Preston Anderson in her an

NO SERUM ON HAND
NOR MONEY TO BUY

st. Paul, Oct. HI. Preston HoSliins.
versity farm, says hog cholera is usually
most prevalent during lat August, Sep
TENDER and October, but this year it
has appeared a month earlier than usual
and in sections of the state heretofore
regarded as uninfected.
1T seem hard" he says, that we
should know the best methods of pre-
venting this disease and yet be unable
to put this knowledge to good use, but
the Legislature at its last session appro-
priated $40, 900 a year for the next two
years with which to supply Minnesota
farmers with serum, but specified a price
which is only about o~ne-fourth Of its
actual cost. This means a heavy loss or
all serum sent out, and practically limits
the output of the plant as it must stop
the distribution for any given year when
It has lost 10000. When serum was sold
at cost the plant was self-supporting and
there was no limit to the amount of Sc
rum distributed except the capaciy Of
the plant. Now that we must sell at a
loss we must stop as soon as we lose a
certain amount each year.
we have orders now on file for as
much serum as we can produce during
shipments are giving the preference to
sick herds. We advise local veterinarians
to procure serum from commercial serum
plants, but they are also unable to fl!
their orders"

Law WOULD Save
FOR BEEF

Grand Forks. oct. !. An ordinance
prohibiting the killing Of calves before
they reach a certain age may be intro
duced into the city council, according to
J.. T.. Wineman, city attorney.
1t is believed hat an ordinance Of
this Kind would tend to reduce the cost
of beef. The matter is being investigated
and If it is found that the ordinance
would tend towards having the desired
effect it is probable that it will be
brought up.
The passing Of such an ordinance by a
single city would of course, have little
effect on prices, but it is believed that
many cities will pass such avs in the
neal futul e. and that in this way, prices
will be steadily lowered.
Similar ordinances ave already been
introduced into n number Of cities in the
east.
In many sections of the country, it has
been the custom Of che farmers to sell
their calves to the butchers at an early
age.
AS a result Of this, comparatively few
reach maturity, and beef ha s grown
more scarce.
