UNION co. CORN
PROSPECTS BETTER

Corning, Nov. 13.-Farmers are busy
getting their corn In the crib and the
report comes from many sections that
the crop is better than they expected. J.
A. Miller, residing north of Prescott,
was in Corning and reported his fifty
five acre crop making forty-five BUSH
els to the acre. Guy Leonard and H. r.
Davis residing about eight miles south
of Corning. In Taylor county, say they
are not going to have over twenty to
twenty-five bushels, and that there lie
lots Of corn in that section that will
not make over fifteen to twenty BUSH
els. But even that Is better than some
figured on early in the season.
0. G. Brokaw Of Mercer township,
reports thirty-flve bushels thus far. s.
G. Scott Of the same township happen
ed to be in q district that received a
heavy local rain just at the right time
for the corn. The yield is better in the
north part Of the county than in the
south part, owing to their receiving
rain at the right time. But this part Of
Iowa has considerable corn.

WOULD prevent
CHOLERA IN HOGS
FOREST HENRY TELLS HOW TO
AVOID DISEASE AMONG THE
SWINE HERDS.

/ How to prevent hog cholera, is the
title given to number Of good sug
gestions for farmers furnished by For
est Henry in the Drovers Journal OF
, Chicago which are published as fol
lows:
Firstly keeping feeding floors, and
sleeping places, tank and vessels In
which the swill is mixed scrupulously
clean.
Secondly breeding from mature
sires and dams, which gives US filters
of very much more constitutional vigor
than where immature sires and dams
are used.
Thirdly avoiding in-breeding,
which will invariably reduce the STAN.
ina and invite disease.
Fourth-By avoiding fall litters. The
second litter invariably reduces the
mothers vitality at just the time that
cholera is abroad in the land, which
leaves her and her litter very easy
prey for disease. More than 80 per
cent Of cholera outbreaks are among
the sows that raise fall pigs or their
filters.
Filthy avoiding overlooking or
any sudden changes in feed, especially
from dry to green. Anything that will
sderange the stomach and cause indi'
gestion will derange and weaken the
whole system.
Sixth-By feeding Especially in
growing pigs) part ration Of feed
rich in protein, such as wheat mid
dlings or ground oats, and avoiding an
all-grain ration OF corn. They need
something to help build up bone, nerve
and muscle, which corn will not give.
Nothing is better for this purpose than
q good run on clover or alfalfa pas
ture.
Seventh-By taking Ill the care pos.
sible that the disease germs are not
carried to your herd. Dogs are beHev.
ed to spread the disease in majority
of cases. The germs are found in the
excrement OF the hogs and are carried
on the boots and clothing of men or
on the feet Of the animals and birds.
1t is not safe to allow stock cars or
stock yards to be around where hogs
run. Doves and crows are also instru-
mental In spreading disease and
should be shot whenever they come
onto the premises. A little care in
these particulars will often save your
herd. 49,
Eighth-Admit all the sunlight pos.
sible into your hog building and onto
your feeding floors. One minute-yes.
one seconQ of bright sunlight will kill
the liveliest hog cholera germ in exis'
tence No amount of cold will do this
See that your herd is always supplied
with plenty Of pure water and plenty
Of shade. Salt and ashes should al
ways be at their disposal. In short
anything that will help build up q
strong healthy body will be safe
guard against hog cholera.

as physician can see the wisdom Of
vaccinating humans to avoid small
pox or in administering anti-toxin for
dipntheria. He says that he believes
In 1t to the extent Of $3.50 for he spent
that sum at sale recently on a batch
OF porkers which he put in among
cholera hogs Immediately after he had
them vaccinated. s ~.
+ Dr. King raises great many hogs
on his farm and has experienced the
ravages of the dreaded disease among
his herds AT the time when cholera
struck his hogs he had on his farm
mile north of Batavia, between 200
and $50 head Of hogs of all ages.
In telling of his experience with
cholera among his hogs, DR.. King told
Courier representative that the dis
ease broke out among his shotes the
latter part of August. He Immediately
culled out all of the animals that were
in a condition to ship and sold them.
OF those that remained were seven
brood sows, a male and nine shotes
In vaccinating these the vaccine run
out and of those treated he lost but
one shote.
There were left at the time he ran
out Of serum between sixty and sixty
five head and these were not vaccin-
ated. Out of the batch he has but
twelve left, thus losing for want of a
preventative as he views it, over fifty
hogs.
Not easily daunted and having
bought some cattle he decided to have
some hogs and proceeded to get some
more. October 13 he attended public
sale and invested in more porkers,
buying sixty-flve head of shotes. Be-
lieving that vaccination was necessary
he had the young porkers treated be-
fore they left the place and turned
them in at his farm Immediately after
treatment with his unvaccinated chol-
era stricken herd. This he declares
was not fair to the shotes, nor fair
to the serum used in that he exposed
them too soon. Out Of the sixty-fve
shotes two died October 81 and the
balance are we'll and apparently
healthy.
"You can just quote me as saying, y
said he, that believe in vaccination
Of hogs at least $3.50 worth, for I put
that much into the batch of shotes
that were exposed among my sick
hogs. will keep you informed on later
developments. Don't think that l be-.
lieved was running any risk with
that $3.50, for have faith in vaccina-
ton"

FATHER WANTS THE J.
CHILDREN'S CUSTODY.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 13-The custody
Of his three children, now in posses
sion of their grandparents at Lamont,
Is involved in an action filed in district
court by Charles N. Ellsworth against
Mr.. and Mrs. John Bracken, the par.
ents of his divorced wife.
Ellsworth secured a divorce from his
wife, Mrs. Rosanna Ellsworth, in Judge
Wheeler's court Monday, the court also
awarding him the custody of the three
children as between himself and wife.
When he applied for a divorce, Ellis
worth made Mr.. and Mrs. Bracken
parties to the suit, but the cause
against them was dismissed by Judge
Wheeler because of misjoinder.
According to his petition, he execut-
ed adoption papers to the Brackens
Sept. "a, 1912, not understand
ing the nature of the document he was
signing. Later he and his wife were
reconciled ad in March this year the
children came back to live with them.
A stipulation was entered into at that
time multiplying the adoption papers, he
declares.
Parents and children continued to
live together until Sept. 10, last, at
which time Mrs. Ellsworth is alleged
to have left him.
Ellsworth says he is yard foreman
for the Planter Lumber Co., at a sal
airy of SIG per week, and is capable Of
providing good home for the chill
dren. Two boys, Ray A., 9 years old,
and Leonard W., years old, and one
girl, Hazel Belle, years old, are the
children involved in the controversy.
