hNTI-HOG CHOLERA SERUM.

The North Carolina Department
Of Agriculture has for the past
three years prepared and distrlbut-
ed to the farmers Of this State anti
hog cholera serum at cost Of pro-
ductiOn. <
This serum is used as a prevents
tive for hog cl1olera. and II infested
before the hogs show any signs Of
cholera, it will prevent them from
developing a case Of cholera, even
if tney are exposed. It is not claim
ed for this serum that It VIII cure a
case Of cholera, as it is a preVenta-
tive and not a curative measure.
We began the preparation Of this
serum in a very limited way and
have found that it has met with
uniformly good results. The de
mand for it has increased until It
vs. as impossible to meet the demands
at the plant where we first began
the work. In order to be IN a posi-
ton to meet all demands made by
the farmers Of this State for the
serum, we have built and equipped
a large new s.rgun plant which viii
be used exclusively for preparing
anti hog cholera serum.

Dynamite Big Aid in Fertilizing Farms
Europe Is Beginning Initiate America This Method of Cult
waiting Soil and Disclosing Hidden Riches of Earth

The Swiss experiments con-
firm the previous ones made in
America in showing that cult
walton by explosion can be con-
Quoted without danger if the
most elementary precautions are
used.
A single dynamite or gam
site cartridge exploded at a
depth of about yard produces
cone of pulverized earth from
thirty-Six to forty square feet in
area at the surface, and the force
of the explosion is so completely
used up in the trituration of the
soil that there is no serious
throwing about of fragments at
the top. A young fruit tree
planted III one of these cones of
triturated earth shows immedi-
ately the stimulating effects Of
the process.
Evidently we have hardly
scratched the surface of the
earth hitherto. 1t is filled with
riches only few feet down,
which only need to be brought
to the top in order to double the
capacity of the land for the pro-
duction of grains and fruits.

Ground Thus Prepared
Possesses Great Deal
of Fertility.

Ground that Is thus prepared
possesses more than ordinary
fertility. because not only is a
greater depth of soil, filled with
nourishing elements, brought
into action to feed the plants,
but the pulverizing by the eX-
blossoms of virgin layers that
were never before broken up
into soil brings a fresh store of
plant food into use. Then, too,
it has been shown that the
greater degree of fineness to
which the explosions reduce the
particles of earth is an impor-
tant matter. since it results in
the freeing of chemical ele-
ments, even from soil that is re-
garded as worn out, that the
usual methods of cultivation do
not reach.

chemical elements that nourish
the life of plants. Some of
these elements are soon ex-
hausted by the plants, where
crop rapidly succeeds crop, and
thus constant manuring is re
quired to keep the land in pro-
ductive state. Another portion
of the plant food is washed
away by rains or buried deep in
the soil, beyond the reach of
plows and cultivators.
At certain depth, below the
level ordinarily cultivated, there
Is often an accumulation of val
liable chemical elements that the
roots of plants cannot attain.

TINE may be clouded, yet the
/ Will sweep on its course till the cycle is
And when into chaos the systems hurled,
Again shall the Builder reshape world
You were, and you will be; know this while you are:
Your spirit has Travelled both long and afar.
1t came from the Source, to the Source it returns;
The spark that lighted eternally burns.
1t slept in the jewel, it leaped in the wave;
1t roamed in the forest, it from the grave;
1t took on strange CARDS for long of years
And in the soul of yourself it appears.
From body to body your spirit speeds on;
1t seeks new form when the old one is gone;
And the form that it finds fabric you wrought
On the loom of the mind, with the fiber of Thought
As dew is drawn upward in rain to descend,
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend.
You can not escape them; or petty, or great
Or evil, noble, they fashion your fate.
Somewhere some planet, sometime and somehow,
Your life will reflect all the thoughts of your
The law is unerring blood atone;
The structure you you live alone.
From cycle to cycle through time and through space
Your lives with your longings will keep pace,
And all that you ask for, and all you DESIRE
Must come at your bidding, flames Of fire.
You fashioned the paths that your footsteps trod
And no one you from sin
Until you shall bark to the spirit within.
Once list to that voice and all tumult is done;
Your life is the life of the Infinite One;
In the hurrying you conscious of pause,
With love for the Purpose, and love for the Cause

A Universal Mind.
So wonderful were the powers
of mind anciently known to such
profound wise men of the East"
as Badarayana, Vedanta founder
ana kaplia, founder of Sampkhya-
= That even these men thought they
were unable of themselves to do
these remarkable mental feats,
They saw, as they discovered
these powers hitherto apparently
latent in some obscure mind re-
gion, that the human mind is In
deed elaborate and complex be-
yond comparison.
In fact, these men of mighty
minds, now only equaled by rev.
elers in the sublime heights of
calculus, but in an entirely diff
ferent way, really believed thai
they were helped by some vast
external mind. They thought 1t to
be impossible of themselves to
send mind messages to great dis
tances and receive from their
friends at a distance. Then they
advanced the theory that there
is a cosmic mind. And that this
universal mind aids man.
Thus an ancient Hindu, when he
succeeded in taking away the eff
feet of gravity and left a heavy
object suspended in the air, al
times thought that his mind did
not cause the cessation of gravi-
tation; but that cosmic mind
really caused the humiliation Of
attraction.
And when paralytics were cured
they thought that some external
power wrought the change.
In the Buried Temples.
Everything known on these al
