Hou Cholera and Serum Vaccine.

The subject of serum vaccination
for hogs is one of interest and has
been one of considerable disappoint-
ment The fact that so much disap-
pointment has accompanied serum vac
cination in the past should be les
son to all owners OF swine. Those
who herald at this time, vaccination
as a prevention of swine plague are
not true to the swine producing in
dustry.
There is only one time when a man
should make use of so treacherous a
measure as simultaneous method, in
other words, after the disease is
known to be in the herd.
There has been cases innumerable
where healthy hogs were given the
simultaneous treatment and a large
per cent of the herd died. Your veter-
marian may insist he has a company
that has nothing but success but If
such there be, the writer has not
learned of their existence. The facts
of the case are there is not a COM
pany that will guarantee results, not

mean a company that will make a

this, they are capitalizing their COM

when they encourage the vaccination
of healthy herds.
The serum vaccination is all right.
1t has place in our fight for the Grad
ication of cholera. but that place is
confined to the herds of hogs that are
sick with cholera.
If farmers generally would study
more carefully the results of simultan-
eous vaccination of healthy herds. they
would cease to dip into this method

and should the vaccination save them,
which it very often does, you have
taken the right step.

any undue discredit to serum treat

The era of good serum appears to
be near at hand, when the Iowa State

approved serum to wait until sickness

OF course, the single treatment can

beat in half cup of s.fted confectioner's

"The town of Keokuk at this date
was not attractive. The bluffs were
precipitous and approached so close
to the river as to leave room only for
a very narrow wagon road, located
close up to the waters edge, and one
somewhat long row of buildings on
the other side of the driveway, where
they seemed to be engaged in a sort
of life and death struggle with the
rugged hills to secure room to stand
on. This only business street was
undu]ating, crooked and unimproved
in any way. The houses were small
and primitive and only one story in
height. One of them only was made
of bricks; very few were frame, and
the residue were constructed of logs.
The resident part Of the town was To-
Gated on the bluffs and was even less
inviting in appearance than it's bust

BRYAN IN MAINE

VIM. J. Bryan, sometimes called the
peerIess leader, who enjoys the dis
tinction of filling the first position in
President Wilson's cabinet at salary
of $4,000 year, was up iE Maine the
latter part of the week on the political
mission of trying to induce the voters
of the third congressional district OF
that state to vote for the democratic
candidate for congress, and thereby
uphold the Wilson administration. He
pronounced a great eulogy upon the
president. placing him alongside OF
Thomas Jefferson, and OF course did
not omit to assert that Wilson is a
real friend of the people.
In one of his speeches he defined a
progressive as man who is ashamed
to be a republican and hasn't the
courage to be democrat This was
rather facetious upon the part OF the
sneaker, but like many others OF his
striking remarks. is not true. because
the republican party is an organization
of which no one should be ashamed.
We would like to enquire, according
to history, what there is in the rec
ord of the republican party OF which to
be ashamed and at the same time what
there is in. the record Of the democrat
ic party of which to be proud.
Both of these parties. within the
recollection of men now living,

be judged The republican party
instead of being one that progress

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Leading political papers are of the
opinion that there is no hope for a
compromise between the two repubIi
can factions" observes the Britt
Tribune. And we agree with them.
There should be no compromise Let

to. but let the 'standpat' element hold
their ground. All things come to them

of time and a few terms of democratic
sovereignty
Our would-be president, Cummins,
thinks the senate will soon reach a
vote on the tariff BILL says the Rolfe
Reville. "If he and a few others like
him had kept from uselessly discussing
amendments the question would have
been disposed of some time ago."

Cedar Rapids Republican: 1t is es-
timated that million hogs in Iowa
have died OF the cholera. or will die
this season since its ravages are not
yet stayed. That will mean $4,000
600 to S20,O00,0O0. That would mean
8 thousand miles of good roads at a
cost of $4,000 or more mile. 1t
would also mean 10000 automobiles
Or more. And that million hog loss
will also add to the cost of living by
increasing the prices paid for pork by
the consumers.

The election in Maine yesterday re-
suited in a victory for the republican
marty. The democratic candidate for
congress in the third congressional
district, in whose behalf. William Jen-
nings Bryan made a Herculanean ef-
fort was defeated and the republican
candidate was elected THIS may not
be a very strong symptom as to the
feeling in the country generally, but II
nevertheless is straw which may IN
dictate the way the wind is blowing
There is no question but what the
defeat of the democrat for congress
has brought gloom into the ranks OF
the democratic party, inasmuch as the
defeat of the republican candidate was
expected by the leaders of democracy.
The indications are that the progress
ives and the regular republicans work
ed together in this campaign and that
the barriers which have stood between
them aer broken down and henceforth
there will be harmony in Maine be-
tween the two factions of the republl-
can party, and if so the state is safely
republican.
It is refreshing to know that the
factionalism which existed for few
wears and caused a split in the repub-
lican party is about to be healed, and
that henceforth the members OF the
rarty will move forward to victory
shoulder to shoulder.

With the exception OF this PERIOD re-

in history in order to call attention to
the unprecedented development

We are still the beneficiaries OF re-

of it's passage, will go into effect. II

ashamed to belong to it, as Mr.. Bryan
asserts the progressives are?
There has never been in the history
of nations a political organization
that has done so much for the general
welfare of all the peopel OF any coun-

republican party during the time the

Proposed topics in this newer high

recreation, good roads, parcel post and
postal savings, community education,
poverty and the care of the poor,
crime and reform, family income, saw

impuIsive action of mobs and the sell
fish conservatism of tradition, public
utilities, like street-car lines, telephone

The purpose is not to give the pupil
an exhaustive knowledge of any OF
these subjects, but to give him a clue
to the significance of these things to
himself aud to the community, and tC
make him want to know more about
the condition under which he lives. II

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

When making pie crust, mix up
enough without adding the water for
several pies, and put the mixture into
the ice chest, then when pie is want
ed all that is necessary is to add the
water and roll out.
To pick out obstinate pin feathers
in fowl, a pair of tweezers will be
found most useful.
A glove finger cut from an old
glove is a protection to the curtain
when slipping it on to the rod.
To Cook Canned Corn.-Remove the
paper from the can and set into the
tea kettle; after fifteen minutes open,
pour out and season. Corn cooked IN
this way is never scorched. Pour into
a dish with bits of butter.
Cover the cut side Of the watermei-
on with oiled paper and turn down on
a plate.
Have baking sheets cut from sheet
iron to fit the oven with two of the
edges turned a half of an inch for
convenience in handling. A whole
row Of cookies may be baked in the
oven at a time, and if using gas this
is an item worth remembering.
Save stocking legs after the hose
are past wearing. They make fine
holders, stove cleaners and small dust
ers.
TO relieve a scald or burn, apply
equal parts of lime water and olive
oil If this is not convenient, the
white of an egg quickly applied to
keep out the air is soothing and cool
/ ing.
Sprinkle the top Of the pie before
baking with cold water; it will make
the crust more fiakv.
CARAMEL Bananas.-Peel three ban
anas and cut them into strips. Lay
them in q baking dish, dredged with
flour and a teaspoonful of cinnamon.
Put in two tablespoonfuls of butter,
cut in bits, and sprinkle with two ia
/ blespoonfuls of sugar, a tablespoonful
Of lemon juice and little salt. Pour
in half cup Of boiling water and
bake quickly.
