TO FIGHT HOG COLERA.
@R97993555G

Convinced in the face of the
increase of living that something
must be done to save the hog as
a food animal, experts of the
Department IF Agriculture in
Washington have announced that
they would begin a campaign on
July l to eradicate the hog chol-
era. On that date the $75, GOO
appropriated by the last Congress
for the work will become avail
able.
The losses in hogs which sue
cumbed to cholera last year were
60 million dollars, according to
the departments figures. This
is so obviously an unnecessary
waste in the experts opinion that
they propose to go into the work
with the end in view of stamping
out the disease altogether. Pre-
viously the Department conduct
ed experiments by which it de-
veloped a serum that was a spe-
cifc in cholera epidemics, but
now it proposes to go to the root
of the trouble and eliminate the
cause.
Because of the short supply
and high prices of meats" says
the Department in it's statement
today, it is becoming imperative
that something should be done to
check the ravages of the disease. "
The first experiments will be
made in Dallas County, Iowa,
later in Indiana and possibly in
one or two other states.

SHEEP GO FOUR MONTHS
WITHOUT WATER.

Sheep on the Nebo National
Forest, Utah, go four and a half
months without water except for
such moisture as they get from
the dew and juices Of forage
plants.
Grazing sheep on a range en-
tfrcly destitute of water is q re-
cent innovation due to the in
creasing demand for forage. and
the efforts of the forest officers
to find a place on the forest for
all the stock that can safely be
admitted. The area onthe Nebo
which has now proved usable by
sheep is high and rocky, a por-
ton of it being above timber line,
and it has neither springs nor
streams of sufficient size or ac-
cessibility to be used for stock
watering purposes. The grazing
season lasts from June Is to Oc-
tober 81, and during this period
of four and a half months the
animals do not get a drink.
Under such conditions, how
ever the sheep have done ex-
tremely well, and the last years
lambs from this range had an
average weight a t the close o f
the season of 68 pounds on the
Chicago market, which was rath-
er above the normal weight from
that vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee
forest in Idaho sheep get water
only twice during the four-nonths
summer grazing season, There
is no water on the range, but the
sheep are driven to a nearby
stream lower down the mountain.
Lambs from this range weighed
65 pounds on the Chicago market.

Shipping tuberculosis Cattle West

Warning has alreadybeen given
that tuberculosis cattle were be-
ing shipped west from states
where rigid cleaning up was going
forward. Finding buyers on the
lookout for diseased cattle use of
fraudulent health certificates is
being practiced. Over half the
cattle coming from NeWYork sold
at a recent Grand Island sale re-
acted when located and tested by
state veterinarian, Kansas has
received lot of tuberculosis
cattle from Illinois. Now re-
member, you Western people,
you are going to get a lot of this
tuberculosis stuff unloaded on
you if you do not consult with
your state veterinarian who
knows when certificates come
from reputable men recognized
by thier own state authority or
when they are issued by dishon-
est fakiers whose services are
bought for a trifle. The West
ern states where cattle can be in
the fresh air so much of the time
can keep free of tuberculosis
with good business precautions
and it is folly to pile up with in
fected stuff of low vitality liable
to be condemned as soon as at
tention is drawn to it. Denver

Breaking a Horse of Kicking.

Noah Spears, a bay shore farm
er, has discovered way to break
a horse from kicking. Spears
tells the following story: Il fill
ed a stout gunny sack with sand
and suspended it from the ceiling
in the rear of the stall by a rope
in such a position behind the old
horse that it's heels could have
good play upon it. This large
pendelum, needing only a strong
power to start it, would swing
with clock like precision as soon
as the horse began to play it's ac-
robatic stunts upon it. At the
first kick the bag swung away,
only to return with more force,
giving tn e animal much more
than it had sent. This unexpect-
ed return on the part of the bag
caused the horse to kick harder,
but each time the bag returned

GENERAL CATTLE OUT
LOO.

Beef is bringing Z cents for
steers and 6 cents for cows at
Imperial and Phoenix. Califor-
MIA grass beef is selling at 5 cents
for COWS and 6 cents for steers.
The packers yards are full and
even the runways are full of
beef.
The number of beef are caused
by the forced marketing of the
few steers and cows which fat
tened on grass and the necessary
tightening of feed yards in order
to make room for the spring feed
erS.
Hay is showing towards lower
prices in which case Phoenix will
be demanding more cattle. There
is more hay than figured on and
prices seem going down, being
already lower than several weeks
ago. The lower the hay and the
higher beef the more demand
there will be for feeders next
fall.
Denver has been taking many
cattle but not as many from Ariz-
ona as they have in the past.
Tight money has no doubt kept
many would be operators from
doing business and some of the
Denver outfits have so cut and
refused cattle tn at it showed
plainly that they did not care for
them, at the prices contracted.
Utah is getting good prices for
cattle and buyers from Oregon
and Montana are in that country
paying big prices. Two's steers
sold at $40 and three's steers at
$50 but they are heavy cattle.
Many portions of Arizona are
feeling the dry spell which no
doubt will be broken by needed

staff and the ST. Johns country
need rain to fill many tanks. A
fair season is assured if plenty
of summer rain falls in Northern
Arizona.
Early rain in California will
mean a demand for one hundred
thousand cattle next spring tC

Spellmire and Lyons, the Nav
ajo County wool and Buck grow
ers are in Los Angeles enroute
to Oregon to purchase some extra
good rams for their herds. c..

izing that furthur kicking would
be fruitless, stopped his kicking.

FOREST NOTES.

FOREST NOTES.
Canada's forest area is about
800, ,000,0 600 acres.
Mills in British Columbia are
shipping considerable paper pulp
to Japan.
The Canadian Forestry Associ-
alton holds a forestry convention
in Winnipeg. July Z to 9.
On the best German forests
the annual expense is $13 an acre,
but the gross returns per year
are as much as $24; thus they
yield net return of $11 an acre
each year.
Four launches are used in pat
rol and transportation work on
national forests in Alaska, which
include many small islands and
inlets.
Motion picture companies are
making films of all of the activi-
ties of the federal fsoI&sst service,
including planting, cutting tim
Der, patrol, and lookout work.
Already at least two fre-fighting

Application has been received
By the government for a summer
home colony on the Shoshone
national forest, Wyoming. The
plan is to have a central assem-

AS a detail of it's campaign
against prairie dogs on the sheep
and cattle ranges of the West,
the Biological Survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture is using
carbon bisulphide in connection
with eight tons of poisoned grain
for the determination of the lit
tie pests on the ranges of the
Coconino National Forest, AriZ-
ona.
Generally the Biological Sur
vey works to prevent the exten-
sion of birds n d manuals. In
the present instance it justifies
it's war against prairie dogs on
the principle Of the campaign
against the bubonic-plague rat
and squirrel, or against the rab-
bit which girdles fruit trees.
The damage done by the prai-
rie dog, it is pointed out, affects
the stock-raising industry in two
ways. First; many acres are
laid bare in the neighborhood of
prairie dog villages, and the am
cunt of food for cattle is proper
tionally reduced. Second, val
liable animals, frequently horses,
have to be killed after they have
broken a leg in a prairie dog
hole.
According to the Departments
expert the stock industry has un-
Willingly favored the increase of
prairie dogs by killing off coyotes
that prey upon stock but are also
natural enemies of the prairie
dogs.
Last year on the Cochetopa
National Forest of Colorado fif-
teen tons of poisoned oats freed
some $4,000 acres of grazing
land from prairie dogs. On the
Pike National Forest, in the
same state, seven tons of oats
were used to clear go, 900 acres.
This year five or six tons of the
poisoned groin only was used on
the Cochetopa and three tons
sufficed for the Pike.
