CARE OF THE BULL.

Do not give the COWS all your atten-
ton. The bull at the head of the
herd should have some care given to
him. He is half of the herd. Be sure
he is the biggest and best half, and
then care for him in such way that
he will stamp his good breeding on
his calves. A bull should not be stood
in a stall, only watered and fed, and
allowed to suffer on account of filth
on his TANKS, lack of exercise and
grooming. He is more than half the
herd. He is the best part of the herd
of young things he will produce for
you.
He should have roomy box stall IN
which he can walk about. 1t must be
kept clean and dry and bedded deep

cholera germ.

CuOl6Id RcIn.
g Hog cholera broke out simultane-
ously in my locality on four farms the
middle of September. We know it
was not carried from one farm to an
other, as there we're not two days diff
ference in the time it appeared on all
four farms. There we're roads be-
tween two of the farms, and hundred
acre farm between the other two.
On one farm there were SO per cent
died, another 80 per cent, and on the
other two, 2 per cent. Where the
death rate was lowest the sick hogs
we're not with the we'll ones, they we're
isolated, killed and burned. The
other two farmers allowed the hogs to
run together, the sick and dead we're
in the same lot with the we'll ones l
Investigated and learned that all four
herds had had pure drinking water,
but that they all had stagnant wsIllow
ing holes during the hot weather of
summer. All the excrement was al
lowed to drain into these wallowina
holes, and green scum had been on
top of the filthy water. Here is where
disease breds, flies and insects de-
posit their eggs here, and start on
their mission of distributing disease.
The hogs at times rather than go to
the fresh water to drink, drank Of the
stagnant water in the wallowing holes.
This is responsible for the outbread
of trouble.
A farm house in our locality burn
ed in August; the family moved to
an unused house near by, and used
water from spring that had been
abandoned for years. Several Of them
took down with typhoid fever, and
one death occurred. There had been
no other typhoid in the neighbor-
hood; they got it from the water.
One herd of hogs in our locality
had a field of blue grass on an eleva-
ton of rs degrees; they had good
water, the surface was toe steep to
permit of wallows, and these hogs
we're we'll and hearty all season and
are now. Some claim that cholera
breaks out in winter, when there are
no wallows or Stagnant waters, but
we are told that cholera producing
germs can stand drouth and cold. l
firmly believe that the contents of the
wallow hole is what produced cholera.
1 would advise all beginners with
hogs to keep watchful eye for
stagnant water. Ii you can not drain
or disinfect these holes, fill them up,
and anyway be sure the hogs do not
drink from them. II the water re-
mains in such holes during the ex-
tremely hot weather you stand good
chance for trouble. Destroy all filthy
water holes, and you will not be order
ing serum. Give pure food and clean
sleeping quarters. = Enoch Maze,
Liberty, Ind, in Farmers Guide.

with straw at all times. 1t should be
well lighted stall where you can
watch his growth, il he is young
fellow, and where the sun and air can
get to him. If good lot cannot be
given him to exercise in, he had bet
ter be left to run on a wire after be-
ing ringed through the nose. Fasten
a heavy wire from one tree to another
or from post to post. Have the wire
at least eight feet high. A stout
chain with strong snap in the end
of it should hang from the wire. not
being so long that it will get under
the bulls feet and permit him to get
tangled up.
The bull that stamps his breed
characteristics on his get is not the
one on whose TANKS manure is ac-
cumulated, whose hoofs are rOtting in
filth, who is never brushed or exercis-
ed. If you expect bull to do his
best, treat him the best Handle him
daily. Do not torment him. Ugli-
ness is always the fault of the owner.
If a bull is worried with taunts, If he
is forced to fight flies during warm
weather and given no chance to
stretch himself, he never will amount
to much as a sire. To bring his
breeding quality to it's highest value,
give him every attention., make him
comfortable, feed him we'll with
variety of grains and some succulent
foods as we'll and If you have some
light chores to be done which he can
handle in treadmill for quarter of
an hour twice daily, give him the
chance to do the work for you. He
will be the bptter for it.
He is the greatest part of he herd,
remember, and must be treated as
such. If he becomes hidebOund, his
muscles will be sore and hard and it
will not help his disposition. This
condition only indicates poor care,
lack of exercise and a variety of feeds.
Brush him daily. In summer keep
him lightly blanketed and in winter
provide a heavier one. Be proud of
him and show him off at every OPP
portunity. Ii you are not proud OF
him get one that you will be proud OF
and care for him right. He is the big
half of the herd.-By William Gal

history Of the country.
So far as is known there are no

Keeping of houses Of iIl-fame to come
before the grand jury at this session
ana all in all it does not promise to
add much criminal business to the
district court. The average length OF
the sessions of the grand jury are
about eight days and the September
session Of six weeks was the longest
VI the known cases to come before
the grand Jury are those of Sherman
Irentor and Edward Holland, for rob
Derry. Encch Hawkins for murder and
j w Stanley for desertion. 1t is not
thought that there are any other cases
being secretly investigated but it is
very possible that one other serious
case will develop for consideration by
the jury.
Trentor and Holland were arrested
for holding up John Cairnes and man
named Weaver, both in the vicinity
of First and Johnson streets, about
the tenth of December. Cairnes had
been drinking heavily and said he was
attacked and robbed of about $500.
Weaver said he was robbed Of abous
SAFE and was not maltreated. The
police equickly captured the two men.
Holland waived preliminary examina-
tion.
Enoch Hawkins, the man who slash
cd another negro with razor at
Cameron's barn and killed him, gave
himself UP to the police, not knowing
he had murdered the man. There is
mot much doubt but that he will be
indicted by the grand jury.
j. w. Stanley is the restaurant man
who was arrested for wife desertion.
The testimony brought out in the pre-
liminary examination which resulted
in his being bound over to the grand
jury put him in a very bad light. He
left his wife with debt ridden res
taurant on her hands but she pluckily
took up the work upon herself Stan
ley has since been seen around the
restaurant and it has been said, un-
authoratively, that the couple had
ABOUT made up.
