South Dakotaan demonstrates that

In South Dakota are now dreading
the possibility of a scourge Of hog

neither the United States department
of agriculture nor the state expert
INIT station has the means to furnish
the serum required to fight the i'm
pending plague. according to DR.. S. A.
Brown of this city, who has taken an
active interest in promoting agricul-
tural interests in the state. In an in
teryiew with DR.. Brown he gave out
the following statement with regard
to the method treatment Of the dread
disease:
Undoubtedly the hog cholera is the
most important financial proposition
that could possibly come before the
people of Sioux Falls. Every hog lost
BY disease within one hundred miles
Of Sioux Falls is lost partly in Sioux
Falls city. There are sixteen hum
dred thousand quarter sections of land
within m hundred miles OF Sioux
Falls, and it is safe to say that those
quarter cections without the hog chol-
era would have marketed this coming
winter more thar ten hogs each, with
q market value Of $50 a piece.
"The aggregate value of these hogs
would have been between thirty or
forty million dollars. Probably orc
hundred thousand hogs have already
died Of a contagious disease bearing
every appearance of hog cholera, but
that leaves fifteen hundred thousand
marketable hogs still in the field. and
we have the finest crop of corn within
our territory that has ever matured
here"
The business men Of Sioux Falls,
facing as they do the probable loss OF
twenty or thirty million dollars worth
or business on account of this con
tagious disease could not do better
than to invest e very liberal sum of
money and have our experts and en-.
t%husiastic Sioux Falls men investigate
the exact status of every bunch of
hogs within our territory and impress
upon the owners and the neighbors
and everybody concerned the impor-
n Of preventing this disease from
spreading. 1t is not hot weather O.
cold weather, wet weather or dry
weather, clean farms or dirty farms
that produce hog cholera. 1t is pro
duced by c%ontagion like smallpox
diphtheria or Asiatic cholera.

Measures Value Of Cow.

Testing for advanced registry deter
mines the producing ability of the
herd. This is especially true if yearly
tests are made. 1t is important that
all dairy cattle breeders know exactly
what every COW in the herd is capable
of doing. The poor producers should
be eliminated as soon as possible,
even though they are registered ami
mails. The writer makes it a rule new
er to sell a male calf to head a dairy
herd if his dam is not capable of pro-
ducing at least 300 pounds OF butter
fat in a year. at maturity.
The expense connected with these
tests is perhaps the greatest draw
back: especially is this true in South
Dakota. in which state h breeders
are quite scattered.
BY cooperation this expense can be
reduced to its minimum. If for In
stance, a half dozen or more breeders
would each agree to test one or more
COWS. the experiment station could at
ford to hire a man for this purpose,
and the expense to each would not be
great.
The writer is strongly Of the opin-
ion. that some systematic work along
this line should be organized in South
Dakota to serve as an example for 9TH
ers. to create a still greater demand.
at higher prices, for the young stock
belonging to local breeders, and to
assist the owners in more intelligent
selection and breeding.
The seven-day tests, If properly on
Quoted, serve as a valuable immediate
guide, and are much better than no
official testing.

At the present time the demand is

may come a time when this demand

Develops the Cows.
The writer believes hat official
testing. if properly done. develops the
COW. This is of special significance if
cows are tested while young and year
ly tests are made. 1t is a mistake to
overdo a young COW in a short period
