WAR ON HOG CHOLERA
Serum Developed by Department
of Agriculture Used.
Cleaning Up Of Infection 10 Huge Job,
But Believed Can Be Accomplished
Same as Eradication Of
Ticks In South.

Beginning with few counties in
Iowa and Indiana, the department OF
agriculture is commencing a campaign
for the eradication of hog cholera. As
this disease IL as widespread as the
hog raising industry, which covers the
whole country, the cleaning up Of the
infection is a large order. II is be-
lieved, however, that 1t can be done In
much the same way that the cattle tick
is being eradicated from the south.
Before the tick eradication work
started It was feared that 1t was an
impossible task. The experts of the
department, however, figured out meth
DDS Of cattle dipping, pasture rotation
and other means OF control 80 that
now q quarter of the area in the south
that formerly was under strict cattle
quarantine has been declared tick free
and released. Counties adjoining the
cleared territory have seen the bene-
fit and are taking up the work so that
eventually the impossible will be &C
complished and the whole of the south
will be turned into a cattle-raising
country.
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 Doctor
Dorset of the department of agricul-
ture.
Hog cholera is by all odds the great
est scourge of the hograising industry
1t was estimated that ii cost the farm
ers last year s60,000,000. Before the
discovery of the serum treatment the
toll was still larger. Cholera was re-
garded as inevitable and was almost
always fatal. There was no protection
against it except segregating the well
hogs, and this precaution was uncer-
tain.
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. It was
estimated that the second year the
serum was in use it saved about SILL
100000. Now many of the states are
manufacturing the serum in their own
agricultural laboratories and distribute
it free on application.
The plan for cleaning up the country
is to commence on county areas, as is
being done in Indiana and low nd
gradually spread the work, clean Zap
in widening circles and preventing the
importation Of the disease by careful
quarantine. Any specific local outbreak
will be wiped out as quickly as it can
be located.
1t may be the work of years to get
all the country cleaned, but 1t is be-
lieved once 1t is cleaned it can be kept
so. This will mean great increase in
the hog-raising industry, larger profits
and a proportionate reduction in the
price OF meat.

stand in the way Of SINNERS, and he

of God are divided into but two great
classes, not the good and the bad.
Bubjectively considered, "for there Is
none good, no, not one" Blu. believers
and unbelievers-the saved and the
lost. Any other distinctions are only
of a secondary kind and limited to
the things of earth. For example.
when we speak of an adulterer or a
drunkard. we associate with him the
name Of sinner" but when we speak
of an outwardly moral man who new
ertheless acknowledges no allegiance
to the God of the Bible, we think OF
him as 'ungodly." The latter is un.
concerned about his personal saliva
ton. Living an honest life as the
world goes, he believes he will fare
well enough at the last. He would
not deny the existence Of God and a
future life. but he has no particular
or transforming ideas about either.
The "ungodly" is a character with
which most Of us are more likely to
come in close contact than the open
sinner. and for that reason he Is ca
pable Of more harm. We would not
willingly associate with notorious
transgressors, the libertine, the liar
or the Sabbath breaker, but this other
class OF persons are not so we'll under

while unconscious of our loss. In
deed, 'ungodly" persons may be de-
sirable to be acquainted with in a GER
tain sense. They may increase our
profits or enllven our domestic circle,
but all the time they will be as the
gilded bait covering the deadly hook!

Save the Manure.

In promptly handling barnyard
manure, the farmers can save or lose
hundreds OF dollars annually. A ma
nure heap is hot bed OF bacterial
activities. Some OF the nitrogen is
formed into ammonia and passes into
the air; this is a clear loss. Some is
transformed into nitrates. which are
soluble. These are washed out by
rains and sink into the soil or run CT
into the ditch; this also is direct
loss. Some is formed by bacteria into
nitrates and these nitrates attacked by
another species OF bacteria which
change into nitrogen gas. which pass
es into the air and Is lost.

Is an unlimited demand for them. II
