is now on a practical working basis
There are several different methods
for immunizing hogs or making them
immune 20 cholera. Illumination
consists in bringing about the presence
Of what are called immune bodies in
the blood. They enable the animal to
resist such cholera germs as enter the
system. These immune bodies are
present in the blood of hogs that have
recovered from cholera. Such animals
are sometimes called ''immunes."
A hog that has been treated with
hog cholera serum without exposure To
cholera at the same time does not
form any protective substances or i'm
mune bodies of its own. 1t is render
ed immune for a short time three
weeks to two months. due to the pres
ence of the protective substances in
jected. Such treatment is known as
the single or serum only" method.
When it is desired TO make a hog
permanently immune and there is no
cholera yet in the herd it is necessary
that hog cholera germs be introduced
into his system simultaneously with
the serum, which protects the hog
from the cholera germs injected. This
is accomplished by the Introduction
into the hogs body of a small amount
of virus. Virus is the germ laden
blood obtained from a hog sick with
cholera 1t is injected at the same
time with the serum. but with a sep
arate syringe. BY this method the hog
is enabled to develop enough protec-
tive substances of its own to render it
permanently immune. This is known
as the double or "serum virus" method
of treatment

Caked Udder In Cows.

Caked udder in cows is also common.
~ called garget. of which there are
two kinds-one noncontagiOus. the 9th

1t is frequent trouble. especially in
cold weather, often due to catching

usually appear soon after calving. and
many complications often ensue, some
times resulting in a damaged quarter.
Since cows are so high priced it is
certainly poor economy to attempt
home treatment in severe cases If
your veterinarian treats the case he
can give you the benefit of a personal
examination. If a veterinarian is not

TANKAGE FOR HOGS.
Fed With Discretion, 1t Is a Profitable
Pork Producer. .

Fed With Discretion, II Is a Profitable
Pork Producer. =
A great many farmers are beginning
to use tankage. l find it beneficial and
in large degree profitable where hogs
are kept. writes II. W. Swope in the
American Agriculturist. There isn't
anything about good tankage or meat
meal that is in any way injurious to
hogs. whether young or old. Good
takage contains over so per cent pro-
tein, and for that reason it answers an
important question in animal economy
1t is a good feed to use with corn and
highly palatable. 1t need not be fed
in large quantities, and, especially
when beginning to feed tankage, one
part tankage to about ten parts of corn
is a very satisfactory ration.
Tankage is animal matter from
which the grease and oil have been ex-
tracted. This consists of meat scraps
and bone from meat markets and pack
ing houses picked up fresh in a large
tank and thoroughly cooked at a high
temperature. The grease is removed
from the surface and tankage is then
dried thoroughly. after which it is
ground, screened and placed in bags
for shipment. The high temperature
employed in cooking destroys all dis
ease germs that might be present
Tankage, therefore. all summed up is a
pure, safe feed for hogs. 1t contains
s to 10 per cent moisture. and in a
good, dry place it can be kept for an
indefinite period of time.
I have fed tankage to hogs of all
ages for several years now and with
excellent results in every case. With
the high cost of feed a little tankage
fed with the regular ration to the
hogs each day will be found a good
feed investment The cost of feeding
tankage seems to increase a trife ev-
cry year. but am sure it will pay all
who can use it to do so as long as the
price is as reasonable as it is today,
considering its protein contents com
pared with other feeds.
Tankage may be fed dry. either alone
or with grain rations. I have found
it very satisfactory in a thin slOp.
One station says that a ration made
up of one part tankage and six or
eight parts corn has proved to be the
most satisfactory. and a greater gain
per 100 pounds was secured in this
manner of feeding.

Shoe Boils.

The name shoe boil is a misnomer,
an improper term for the condition. 1t
is true that sometimes the shoe causes
these enlargements, but more often it
does not. The damage done to elbow
is brought about by the animal at
tempting to rise when the fore feet are
extended. The animal gives one violent
lunge to get up, and the bruising is
done when It pounds down just before
the upward direction is taken. Hav-
ing it removed by competent man is
the only sane and safe remedy.

FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA.
Preventive Treatment With Serum Has
Proved Successful.

Proved Successful.
The university farm of Minnesota
university has published a bulletin on
hog cholera and its preventive treat
ment. from which the following is
cleaned:
Hog cholera has been recognized as
a specific contagious disease of swine
for about 100 years. The first authen-
tcated outbreak in this country occur
red in 1888, when large numbers of
hogs in Ohio died from a disease which
answers the description of hog cholera
as we row know it,
This highly contagious disease has
caused the loss of millions of dollars
annually. 1t has been estimated that
the losses during 1912 reached S5O.OOO,-
600. One state alone is said to have
sustained a loss of S1O.OOO.OOO from
this dread disease in 1912.
1t has been recently discovered that
we'll hogs may be treated (vaccinated>
with hog cholera serum so that they
will not take the disease if exposed
later. Such treatment is called immu-

NAVY NEGlECTS RELIGION.

Newport News, Va.-Neglect of reli-
gion by the United States in its navy
is reproach to the republic, Secretary
Daniels declared here in an address be-
fore the United Brotherhood of Mems
Bible Glasses. The secretary announc-
ed that he would ask congress imme-
diately to provide chaplains and well
fare secretaries proportionate to the
navy's personnel
Twenty-fOur chaplains, he said, are
all that the government now provides
to look after the religious welfare of
the navy's $1,000 men, the number of
chaplains not having been increased
since 1912, when the personnel of the
navy numbered only $4,000 men.
The secretary added that more than
seventy-five important ships in the
navy have no religious leader attached,
while the marine corps, with an enlist
ment of 1926 men, has not a single
chaplain to look after the spiritual de-
velOpment of its personnel.

Exporting Cattle.

The following from Washing
ton City may be found of interest
to our readers. The United
States was exporting more than
thirty.six times as much fresh
beef and cattle six years ago as
it now sends abroad, as shown
by statistics made public by Sec
lretary Redfeld, of the Depart
ment of Commerce. In the first
hine months of the present fiscal
year, ending March 81, there
was exported only 5,479, 439
pounds of fresh beef and 1858
pounds of cattle, as compared
with 200, O6S, 729 pounds of fresh
beef and 3O7, 726 pounds of cat
lie in the same months of 1907.
The intervening years reveal an
Uninterrupted decrease.
Another feature Of the report
il the statement that while the
population of the country has in
creased II per cent, since 1907,
the number of beef cattle has
decreased 80 per cent; further
more 222, 900 head of cattle came
into the country in the first
eight months of the year, against
only IL, 500 in 1907. In the cal
endar year past the United
States exported 100000 pounds
of fresh beef, while Argentina
sent 756,OOO,OOO pounds; Aus

stir while melting until it appears like
a thick strip. Give one tablespoonful

MODERN RIP AWAKES
FROM 9 YEARS. SLEEP
Like the Van Wrinkle of Irving,
He Finds Many Changes.

TarrytOwn, n. "a living Rip Van
Wrinkle, awakening from nine years OF
oblivion to find old friends dead and his
children grown to manhood, walks, be-
wildered, in the streets of his home
town, in that very Sleepy Hollow coun-
try of which Irving, author of Rip,
wrote many tales.
He is Hyman Levy, long a leading
merchant in Tarrytown before the
sleep of years began. 1t was a
mental cloud that shrouded him and
made him almost as one dead to his
friends.
Now, with lettering step, but clear
seeing eyes. he has come slowly back
from the mysterious wilderness of lost
memory.
He sees new faces that are somehow
old-the faces of the children who are
men and women now. He seeks the
haunts of former friends to find them
held by strangers. Many that he knew
are now but names upon the grave
stones in Sleepy Hollow cemetery.
But Levy's is not mournful awak-
ening. There are scores of his old
cronies alive and rejoicing in his re-
covery. He remembers them all. He
remembers everything that happened
up to nine years ago. These nine
years are an utter blank.
At the height of his business career
he worried so much over a scratch on
his leg which was infected that he be-
came i'll. He recovered physically, but
made himself a hermit in his home.
When he went out, at long intervals,
he passed his friends without recogni-

In the making of cheese it should

Good results are obtained by pressing

Can Kentuck Elect a Democratic
Senator?


What has happened in Mary
land will happen in Kentucky
only the majority will even be
greater.
Even if a considerable number
of either "dry" or wet" Dem
ocrats should foolishly refnse to
support the nominee there are
other conditions which would GER
tainly more than overcome such
disaffection.
Kentucky gave 100000 plurali-
ty last fall for Woodrow Wilson
with both Republican and Pro-
gressive tickets in the field. Next
year the same conditions are like
ly to exist and the same plurali
ty will be recorded for the Dem
ocratic candidate for United
States Senator whoever he may
be.
But in the case either the Re-
publicans or the Progressives
fail to have a candidate in the field
the result would practically be
the same for Republicans will
vote for a Democrat in prefer
ence to a Progressive and vice
versa.
Mayor Buschmeyer was recent
ly elected in Louisville because
the Republicans would not vote
for the Progressive ticket.
In Hardin county the Progress
ives nominated one of the best
men in the county for the Legis-
lature, against whom naught
could be said yet he did not get
a hundred Republican votes in
the whole of Hardin county.
This condition is true all over
Kentucky. 1t is bitter fight
and irreconciable.
The Democratic party is united
under Wilson and invincible in
Kentucky as elsewhere with a
division in the old Republican
party which cannot be bridged
over before the next Presidential
if then. Even if it
could Kentucky is a Democratic
state and the Democrats should
vote for their choice for United
States Senator in the next Au-
gust primary with the absolute
certainty that whoever is nomi-
mated will be triumphantly elect
ed,
In the next August primary
the question of availability is en-
tirely eliminated. 1t will only be
a question for the voters to de-
eide the matter of fitness and
who most deserves this party |
distinction. -E-Town News.
