Obituary.

William Williamson Hancock,
a son Of DIR. Hancock, who was d
noted physician In his day, vas
born in Perry county before De-
catur county was organized, Au-
gust 20, 1887, and departed this
life at his home in the old 18th
district Of Henderson county.
Dec. 7, 1918.
Mr.. Hancock took such chances
as offered to secure a limited
education, and when quite q
young man enlisted as a Oonfed-
crate soldier ID the First Billie
regiment, serving through the
entire war Of the Sixties. He
came out Of the war il which lie
saw much service, without q
scratch. After surrendering ID
North Carolina, he returned to
Bath Springs, Decatur county,
and resumed work on the farm.
Afterward he clerked for Curry
Pettigrew, the pioneer merchant
at Sulphur Spring, Decatur
county, and in 1870 married
Miss Bette Moore, who bore
him nine children, five boys and
four girls, five Of whom yet sur
vive. The first wife died some
twenty or more years ago and
Mr.. Hancock then married Mrs.
Vena Frazier, a sister of Esq.
Jack Duke, Of this county, but
no children were born to the
last union.
Mr.. Hancock was Il member of
the Baptist church and the Ma
sonic fraternity and was a life
long Democrat. He was buried
on the 9th inst. with Masonic
honors; and his remains were
inferred in the Moore graveyard,
in the old 10Th district, near his
home. That he was a good man
and exemplary citizen, none
who knew him doubted and he
will be missed in the community
where he had lived long enough
to form many ties Of friendship.

II an abscess forms IN 4 pig or
shoat they usually have plenty
time to recover before slaughter,
hence the ham injection is per-
missible Ia these.
IA. Never mix serum and
virus. Always inject them sep.
arately; serum on one side and
virus on the other. Use q special
syringe for each.
10. Handle pregnant sows
with care while vaccinating.
The injection Of serum and virus
will not cause abortion, but
rough an6 careless handling will
cause it.
16. After each injection is
made immerse syringe In a clean
basin containing carbolic acid,
one teaspoonfnl; warm water,
one-half gallon.
II. Keep vaccinated hogs in q
small lot for 81 days after the
operation, before they are TO
mingle with unvaccinated hogs
or run at large on public roads,
commons, or ranges.
IS. We recommend immuniz-
ing the whole herd, then inn
munize each litter of pigs at or
just before weaving time. This
gives protection against cholera
at a very reasonable cost. Make
it a practice to raise only i'm
mune hogs, in which your invest
ments in swine will be almost as
U. s., Government bonds.
10. Pigs from immune sows
are themselves immune while
they are subsisting alone on the
mothers milk.
Do not spill any virus on the
premises. That which is not put
into the hog should be kept in
the bottle.
81. Don't let any person who
has not visited q serum plant
aud there received special in
strnctions vaccinate your hogs,
and don't attempt to do so your
self without receiving the neces.
sary instructions. People are
not born with knowledge Of this
kind. 1t must be acquired and
the best place to acquire it is at
q serum plant under direction Of
an expert in this line Of work.
%. Serum is a protective
against cholera. 1t will prevent
cholera 10 100 per cent Of cases.
We do not here lay any claim for
it being a specific treatment for
hogs already sick Of the disease.
However, we feel safe in saying
that even in sick herds the loss
es after proper vaccination will
not exceed 30 per cent. Don u
wait until they are sick to vacci
nate, as at this time ii requires
large doses Of serum and is other.
wise expensive. The proper
time to vaccinate Is before the
pigs exceed twenty five pounds
in weight as at this period they
only require q small dose Of Sc
rum and can be protected for
life at an expense OF 10 cents
per head.
%. Avoid exciting and crowd.
ing hogs before treating, as this
tends to increase the tempera-
ture.
"a. Wash mouth of bottles
25. Avoid the bone when in.
sorting the needle.
26. Have helpers to catch
hold of the hogs. The operator
should confine himself to the &C.
tual operation.
81. Don't hurry.
%. Don't expect anti-hog
cholera serum to protect hogs
against cottonseed meal poison,
I've poison, pneumonia, etc, as
it will not do it. 1t is made to
protect hogs from cholera, and
none other.

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. 7. F. PECK

/ /. Remember that there lie a
very decided and important dis
tinction between serum and vi.
rus.
Serum is the defibrinated
blood Of a healthy hyperimmune
hog aud is incapable of produc-
ing the disease unless used with
discretion and extreme care.
2. Virus is perishable and
should be kept on ice until used.
Don't order "virus'' unless you
are in possession of virus per-
mit.n Don't use virus after ex-
piration date marked on bottle
label. This date is ten days af-
ter virus is drawn from hog.
Burh all virus not used. Do not
handle virus on public roads,
commons, or ranges. Don't in
ject virus into hog which Is al
ready sick. Take temperature
per rectum if the temperature
is above 104 degrees it indicates
that the hog is sick. Into such
hog inject double dose Of Sc.
rum-no virus. Inject serum
and virus into all hogs showing
a temperature below 104 degrees
+. The normal temperature of
swine is 1902 to 1903 degrees.
B. Great care aud cleanliness
is exercised in the manufacture
of anti-hog cholera serum; hence
it behooves those who are to use
it to use at least ordinary eau
tion in handling aud administer.
ing it.
4. Serum is preserved with /
per cent carbolic acid which is,
to say the most of it, an ex-
tremely weak preventative in
the strength hence serum should
be kept in dark, cool place I'M
til used. Keep it in refrigera-
tor il possible. However, an or
binary cellar temperature is per-
missible. Never expose serum
to sunlight or heat from stoves,
radiators, steam pipes, etc.
5. Never open more than one
bottle at time, and never pour
the contents of this one bottle
into any other bottle or vessel.
Always pour it from the original
bottle directly into a 100 c. G.
cylinder graduate in orde r to &C
curately measure the dose. From
this graduate the syringe is fill.
ed by removing cap and piston
and pouring directly into barrel
Of syringe.
8. All instruments and uten-
sils used should be thoroughly
sterili2ed by boiling before use
and the hands Of the operator
cleansed by thoroughly washing.
Z. Never underestimate the
weight Of the hog. Better over
estimate the weight, as it is pos.
sible to give too little serum,
but utterly impossible to give
too much.
8. Tincture OF iodine is uni
versally recognized as the most
efficient skin disirfectant, hence
J it is recommended that the site
Of injection be painted with
tincture of iodine. Allow about
one minute for drying before in
lection is made.
8. Carefully force all air out
Of the syringe before making the
injection. Otherwise air bub.
bles are calculated to cause alb
scesses.
10. Serum should remain po-
tent for ut least six months If
kept at cellar temperature in
original sealed bottles.
IL. Destroy all unused open
bottles of serum.
y. The injections should be
made into muscle of ham in pigs
and shoats.
13. The injection should be
made behind the ear of large
hogs, especially those which are
to be slaughtered within four to
six weeks after vaccination. The

SAHARA DESERT AS
 A FACTORY CENTER
Plan to Use Suns Heat for Power Practicable, Says AstIey Cooper.

LONDON, Feb. Fertilization of the Sahara Desert as a centre of in- dustrial production was the sugges- tion made by J. Astley Cooper in a paper on Northern Nigeria, read be- fore the Royal Colony Institute.
 It had almost been accepted as a truism, he said, that our coal supplies were giving out, but the Sahara Des- ert received an amount of solar heat every day equivalent to that produced by 5000 100000 tons of coal.
 In this arid region, with the great supplies of products available from the wonderful forest lands nearer to the coast. and the country traversed by a network of railways, thoughtful sci entific men say that if some econom- ical method could be found to use this lost solar energy, such, for in- stance. as the scheme which was on trial near Cairo, there was no reason why the dreams should not be real ized of those who saw great districts of the world, now arid and useless on account of the intense heat, given up to the factories of the future. These would be of enormous extent with glass chambers instead of chimneys and reflectors instead of furnaces, all designed to receive and transmit the daily gift of the sun't heat.

FAvORs COMPENSATION ACT
House Committee Votes to Include
 Express Company Employees,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-A favor able report on the Senate Workmen's Compensation act, amended to make it apply to employees of express com panies as well as to those of railroads, and to give State courts concurrent jurisdiction with Federal courts in its enforcement has been agreed to by the House Judiciary Committee.
 The proposed law would prescribe specific amounts of compensation to be paid by railroads and express com panies to any employee disabled by an accident when on duty. Where death resulted, the amounts to be paid for eight years would range from 50 per cent of the wages, in case there was widow and one or more de- pendent children, to 10 per cent in the event there were only partly depend ent relatives. Compensation to dis abled employee would range from 50 per cent of his wages for life, for em- ployees suffering permanent total dis ability, to 50 per cent for four months for the loss of toe.
 The committee increased from $1OO to $12O the maximum monthly to be used in calculating those percentages.
 As several of the committeeman questioned the Constitutionality of the act. saving clause" was added, pro viding that no employee or dependant who had lost the right to compensa- ton under the act by reason of its invalidity should be deprived of any right of action he would have other wise. As passed by the Senate the act would become effective July 1, last. The committee made the date July 1, next.
