the highest success possible with
anti.hog.cholera serum they must
observe care In Its use. This Is EVIL
dent from complaints which have
come to the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege recently In which serum Is
blamed for losses In herds vaccinated
with the simultaneous method. In
vestigations OF these apparent failures,
BY the college, leads to the conclusion
that Il Is not safe to vaccinate weak
animals, pregnant sows, or any hogs
kept In insanitary pens.
1T Is unsafe to vaccinate hogs I'M
less the pens in which they are kept
are in reasonably sanitary condi'
tion," said DR.. F. S. Schoenleber, state
veterinarian, In announcing the re-
suits of a number Of investigations.
"The wound made by the needle used
in vaccinating is likely to become IN
fected under such conditions. AS a
result the vitality Of the animal Is re-
duced, to such an extent that the hog
developes an abscess at the point Of
innoculation from which II may die,
or, In this weak condition, a case OF
cholera which the serum Is powerless
to prevent is developed. Or, in many
instances, blood poisoning results.

son will have to come from one OF
two sources; namely, shipped in
from the Eastern states, or from 1872
crop. Extensive experiments cover
ing a period of nine years in which
Kansas grown seed Of a number OF
varieties of corn were compared with
the seed Of the same variety intro
duced from other states show that
the introduced seed was not as pro-
ductive as the Kansas grown corn by
eight bushels to the acre. This would
mean that II all of the corn planted In
Kansas was obtained from the sources
from which the seed in these tests
were secured, the Kansas crop would
be reduced sixteen million bushels.
Results obtained in the Co-opera-
tive Experiments conducted through
out the state during the last four
years, show conclusively that home
grown seed OF any given variety Of
corn is better than that introduced
from other parts of the state, other
things being equal.
The 1912 crop Of corn grown In
the locality in which the seed is to
be planted will in all probability be
the best SOURCE Of seed corn for next
season. The corn produced In 1872
was much above the average In VI
