Although she has been in service for
nearly two years the tug Advance Of the
Taylor fleet of this city, the largest tug

tow light barges fro.n Point Lookout to
this city and will take away the loaded
ones. This will bring her here three or
four times each month.
In the two years the Advance has been

SPRING IS STILL HERE,
ASSERTS WEATHER MAN
Summer Does Not Officially
Begin Until s O'Clock To-
night, He Says.

o: course. you may not have noticed It.
but this IL spring weather we're having to-
day. as summer doesn't begin until q
o'clock tonight. For this is the longest
day of the year, you know. and the IN
dustrious person who got up with old
friend Sol this morning and waits for
him to go down this evening. will have
had some day
Not having arisen until some few min
utes after Sol had risen on Washington
at 4:42 this morning, and therefore having
failed to notice whether the old boy did
anything queer to celebrate the long
visit with Mother Earth he is having to-
day, the reporter who is writing this
called up the weather bureau to find out
all about it.
Hello. weather bureau?'' he said. after
the usual long struggle with sweet-voiced
telephone girls who wanted him to stand
in nice cool booth as long as possible
Yes. this is the weather bureau" came
back the answer
Connect me with the person who
knows about this being the longest day in
the year. will you?" the reporter asked.
I'm on The Star. and l want to write a
piece for my paper about it."
Knew Nothing About It."
A few clicks and buzzes and another
voice asked what was wanted. The re-
quest for information was made again.
and the voice replied that he knew it
was the longest day in the year. but that
he knew nothing about it. He volun-
teered the information that the sun will
not go down until 1887 o'clock this even
ing. which was something gained
Call up the Naval Observatory, and
they'll tell you all about it, was the
closing bit of advice gained from the
weather bureau.
So the Naval Observatory was called
and man on the wire who said he knew
all about it's being the longest day of
the year. That's not ALL he added;
summer begins at o'clock tonight
What yelled the. one who's doing
this! Summer begins tonight" Then
what do you call this?
''Oh, this is spring." came back in toll
Grant tones.
Perspiration poured down the report
er's face. but he was greatly encouraged
by the thought that it was still spring.
So he proceeded to gather in his infor-
nation about the longest day Of the year.
He learned that at 8 o'clock tonight
the sun will be nearer to its zenith than
at any other time during the present
year. and that it will shine for brief
instant on the trOpic Of cancer some
where in the Pacific, and then begin to
move back toward the tropic Of capri
corn, to the south Of the equator.

UNCLE SAM warning
UPON HOG CHOLERA
Serum Developed by Depart.
ment of Agriculture Is
Being Used.

Beginning with a few counties i'm Iowa
and Indiana, the Department Of Agricul-
ture Is commencing campaign for the
eradication of hog cholera. AS this dis
ease is as widespread as the hog raising
industry. which covers the whole country.
the cleaning up of the infection is a large
order. 1t is believed, however, that II
can be done in much the same way that
the cattle tick Is being eradicated from
the south.
Before the tick eradication work start
ed it was feared that 1T was an impossible
task. The experts of the department.
however, figured out methods of cattle
dipping. pasture rotation and other means
of control SO that now quarter Of the
area in the south that formerly was un-
der strict cattle quarantine has been de-
clared tick free and released. Counties
adjoining the cleared territory have seen
the benefit and are taking up the work
so that eventually the impossible will be
accomplished and the whole OF the south
will be turned into a cattle-raiSing coun-
try.
Money for the Work.
1t is thought that the same thing can
be done with hog cholera. Congress last
year appropriated $4,000 to start the
work. The beginning in Iowa will be in
cooperation with the Iowa State College.
The method used will be the serum that
was developed by DIR. Dorset of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Hog cholera is by all odds the greatest
scourGe of the hoS-raising industry. 1t
was estimated that 1t cost the farmers
last year SGO,UO0,COU. Before the discov-
cry of the serum treatment the toll was
still larger. Cholera was regarded as in
evitable and was almost always fatal.
There was no protection against it eX-
cept segregating the well hogs, and this
precdutlon was uncertain.
Millions Are Saved.
The injection of the serum gives i'm
munity from attack even on close con-
tact. The immunity is not permanent.
but it lasts long enough to allow clean
ing up an entire community. 1t was
estimated that the second year the serum
was in use ii saved about $l1 600 go.
Now many Of the states are manufac-
turing the serum in their own agricul-
tural laboratories and distribute it free
on application.
The plan for cleaning up the country is,
10 commence on county areas. as is being
done IN Indiana and Iowa, and gradually
spread the work, cleaning up in widening
circles ana preventing the Importation OF
the dlsease by careful quarantine. Any
