Erdman act. BY prompt action of
congress, after a White House confer
ence, this difficulty was smoothed out
by the enactment of a law providing
more satisfactory methods of settles
ment, and by the appointment of the
new commission by the president. But
the statement of the railroad man
ayers that they were willing to have
this board consider, not merely the de-
mands of the unions, but "alI differ
ences relative to pay and working con-
ditions," introduced a new chance for
difference of opinion. For this ap-
parently innocent phrase was follow
ed by the announcement that the roads
would submit to the board of medita-
ton and Cancellation grievances of
their own. And in reply came charges
of bad faith from the leaders of the
employees and these emphatic words
from President Lee, of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen unless
the eastern railroad managers make
an about-face from their position,
every conductor and trainman en-
ployed on the forty-three lines in
volved in the present dispute will be
ordered to strike" So the press, all
hoping for the best, though somewhat
worried over the possibility of the
worst take their various positions on
the new issue. Some of them, with
Seth Low, president of the American
Civic Federation, share the view of the
railroad workers, while others see no
reason why a board established to
settle railroad disputes should not
consider the grievances of both par
ties. The wage question, which start
ed the present friction, was stated in
our last weeks issue. The eight coun-
ter-demands of the railroads ask for
certain establishments of methods of
payment and of conditions of service
in the interest of the employer.
What is this but trickery? ask the

AS Mr.. Low puts it, the conductors and
trafnmen believe the railroads are
honorably bound to dispose of the
questions raised by them before
they are asked to consider new and
problems to which Meth
er they nor their brotherhoods have
given the slightest consideration, and
he declares himself entirely in SYM
pathy with their views" So, too, does

OF sanitation which means clean pens,
good feed, and pure water When a
FARMER finds his hogs taken sick the
first thing he should do would be to
put them in clean pens by themselves
and keep the neighborhoods, dogs, and
other travellers away from the sick
hogs. He must not forget that any
material carried away from pens may
spread it to healthy herds, even the.

should be burned. If it is buried it Isl

ton scattered again. When all the
sick hogs have died the pens should
be thoroughly disinfected by spraying
every part of them with one of the
coal tar disinfectants. These disin-
fectants, such as Zenoleum, are cheap
and very effective. The solution
should be diluted at the rate of one
quart Of the solution to twenty parts

be good plan on the part of the COM

HOG CHOLERA IN IDAHO
To Prevent Spread Work is Necessary
on the Part Of the Hog Raiser.

There are two general types of hog
cholera recognized by veterinarians.
One type is acute and kills the animal
in ten to fourteen days. The other
| type is more chronic and may persist
| for two to five weeks. The mortality
| with both types is unusually hight. The
writer recently returned from south
| Idaho where he was called by the
state veterinarian to investigate the
disease now present in that part of the
state among the hogs. After several
postmortem examinations there is no
doubt but that the disease in that sec
| ton of Idaho is the true hog cholera.
The acute type found in the central
states was not found but a modified
acute type in which the hogs showed
most OF the symptoms of the acute was
present. Due to climatic conditions
largely, the type of disease in the state
is of a milder nature than that found
in the Mississippi valley.
s'>''" Symptoms.
A few of the general recognized
symptoms may help the farmers to
recognize this disease. About the
first thing noticed in a drove Of hogs
infected will be quick, dry cough in
some of the hogs, accompanied by the
refusal of food. The afflicted ones do

rather high degree of fever. Another
early symptom is constipation, follow
ed by weak, staggering gait, when
they are forced to more about. Just
before death, numerous red spots may
appear on the belly and the insides of
the thigh. During the later stages, al

dlarrhea. The cough in those afflict-
ed IN Idaho PERSISTS throughout the
case and is generally accompanied by

of them will be solidified.

Burley was spoiled for the fans by the
kicks on the umpire and by the final
action of few Burley players in quit
ting the game because of a doubtful
decision. Umpire Golden has done
much to cut out the kicking and in it
has the backing of the fans of Twin
Falls. But there is need for stronger
protest on the part of the baseball
fans to prevent the constant nagging
which has characterized the series
with Burley. The Times does not care
which team is to blame in the matter
or what individuals. The kicking
should be cut out. If a Twin Falls
player kicks let the management put
him out of the game until better be-
havior is promised. Back up the UNI.

LIME IMPROVES
SOIL CONDITIONS
On Some Land 1t Is Necessary as
Actual Plant Food for Al
faIfa and Clover.
By r. C. wEATHERsToNE)

tBy X e. WEATHERSTONE-)
When we apply lime to our soil we
look to its effect upon the soil rather
than to its direct influence upon the
plants. While many farms contain
sufficient deposits Of lime, it is also
true that many soils are deficient in
this element
Lime has various functions. 1t cor
reefs soil acidity; thus stimulating the
action of the bacteria that assist in
making plant food available and
gather nitrogen from the atmosphere.
1t changes dormant plant food into
active plant food, by carbonating the
soil water and makes it a more pow
erful solvent
1t improves the physical condition
Of the soil by making a heavy soil
more friable and a loose soil more
compact On some soils it is needed
as an actual plant food, for such crops
as alfalfa and clover.
There are various kinds of lime
used for agricultural purposes and
each kind has certain advantages but
my experience has led me to believe
that 1t is much safer to use the car
Donate, or ground limestone, because
1t does not have a tendency to DESTROY
the humus in the soil, especially IL
large quantities are used at one time
On heavy soils that are inclined to
be wet the caustic lime will have more
beneficial effects and liberate more
plant food. Such land requires a
more powerful agent to tear apart and
decompose the soil particles and i'm.
prove its physical conditions. For
sweetening the soil the carbonate mr.
ground limestone, is equally valuable.
Lime should be applied early in the
spring, when it has not been applied
the previous fall, and should be an
piled number of days before ferti-
lizer and be thoroughly Incorporated
with the soil.
II fertilizer containing nitrogen is
applied where it will come in contact
with the caustic lime there will he n

loss of fertility.
The great question is how mucb
shall we use. / believe that one ton
OF caustic lime Is an adequate amour,
