HOG CHOLERA
CAUSES ALARM
Dread Disease In Iowa and MINI.
May Spread to So. Oak.

Sioux Falls, Sept. thousands
of farmers In South Dakota are now
dreading the possibility of a scourge
of hog cholera sweeping over the
state and neither United States de-
partment of agriculture nor the state
experiment station has the means to
furnish the serum required to fight
the impending plague, according to
DR.. S. A. Brown of this city who has
taken al active interest in promoting
agricultural interests in the state.
In al interview with DR.. Brown this
afternoon, he gave out the following
statement with regard to the method
Of treatment of the dread disease:
Hog cholera cannot be cured.
The only thing for us to do is to pre-
vent it. The way to prevent it is to
ascertain all the different WAYS in
which it can be produced. Ofcourse
the most direct mean of bringing
the cholera into a herd is that of
buying a sick hog and allowing him
to run with the herd, or introducing
the sick hog into the herd by any
manner of means. but it may be in
troduced indirectly; upon the feet of
dogs. travelling from one hog lot
where the disease exists to another
hog lot where it does not"
Every farm has It's dog. The
dogs frequent the hog lot number
less times a day. They frequently
leave home either with some men,
Der of the family or with a party of
dogs, and whenever they pass a
farm, they invariably visit the hog
lot. Nearly all hogs with cholera
have pneumonia, or other pulmonary
inflammation, and they are obliged to
cou, h the phlegm from the lungs.
This phlegm lying on the ground is
very sticky and will adhere so the
dogs feet and may be carried many
miles, and left in a lot where health
ly hogs are.
The next most important indirect
means of carrying hog cholera is
that of the farmers and othor per-.
sons walking into the hog lot and
getting this phlegm on their shoes,
and carrying it home or elsewhere.
1T is said without such strong
evidence that pigeons carry the hog
cholera. Even on suspicion the pig
cons should be sacrificed and no
pigeons left under such accusation.
Hog cholera frequently begins in
a herd with one. two or three hogs,
and then an interval passes before
the whole herd become suddenly in
fected. This has led experts to de-
clared that when any hog is taken
sick on the farm, that the only safe
ty far the rest of the herd is to re-
move them permanently from that
lot.
The agricultural experiment sta
ton hopes soon to have hog serum
Hog cholera serum injected into the
hog will protect him from the chol-
era for from three to four weeks,
But the injection OF another prepar-
alton called "yirulent blood" prac-
tically prevents the hog getting the
cholera for life"

Babies Immune to Tuberculosis.

An interesting experiment for the.
purpose of creating immunity against
tuberculosis is being tried in Pitts
burgh under the direction of the Tu-.
berculosis league Of that city. DR..
William Charles White, medical direc-
tor of the league says 1t will probably
take ten years before definite results,
of the work will be appreciated The
experiment is being conducted on the.
theory that much, If not all, tubercu-
losis infection begins in childhood In
view of this fact, the league is aiming
to supervise the growth Of every baby
born for the next ten years in the
South side district Of Pittsburgh The
babies and their mothers will be taken
In charge at the birth of the infant,
and everything possible will be done
to increase the resisting power of the,
child to disease and to make it there
by immune to tuberculosis infection.
The theory Of the society is that by
fortifying the body in the earliest ne
riod of child's life, the infant win.
in most cases, become immune to the
disease with which heredity and en-.
vironment may threaten 1t.

When the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company. Akron, Ohio has completed the
two new factory additions II is now build
ing, its working force will be increased
to S,0O0 and places will be made for
1000 more workers. The additions will
bring +hc wording Moor space of the fac
tory to 100000 square feet.
These figures are used to graphically
summarize the growth of Goodyear from
nothing in 1898 to the largest single com
pany in the world engaged in rubber
manufacture today.
Akron, Ohio, with Its dozen odd rubber
factories and other industries is recog-
nized the country over as an indus
trial marvel. Its population has grown
from less than 10000 to nearly 100000
in twenty years. More tnan half of
Akron's heads of families are home own
ers. The rubber industry stimulated by
the enormous demand for tires for auto
mobiles and other motor vehicles, has
grown by leaps and bounds, and Akron
has grown with it, building up busy city
out of village and taking a commanding
place in American industry.
Akron pays a million and half dollars
month in wages The average monthly
wage earned by Goodyear employees, in
cluding men. women and apprentices, for
1910 was S53.9S; for 1911 was $574S; for
1912 was s6650. Among the 5000 Goodyear
employees, about $50 are women.
Goodyear Company officials declare that
the average for 1913 will ne still higher.

Once Cy De Vry almost met his
death at the jaws and paws of Nellie
when he entered her cage and looked
at her four new cubs This was in
1901. For five minutes the keeper
clung to the iron rods that formed
the roof of The cage while Nellie, in
a rage, leaped at him three times. An
assistant keeper heard his cries and
hurried to the animal house just in
time to drive Nellie into a corner of
the cell with a club while De Vry es-
capped.
Nellie is a good mother" said Cy
De Vry after the rescue, but cross to
men when she has cubs. There is
nothing like a good scrap to put you
on right terms with a lion, that is,
unless the lion wins.
Prince has eaten nothing since Nell
lies DEATH" he said, turning away
sadly.
One of the caretakeIs threw a
large, juicy steak into the cage. Prince
looked at it, paved it and then re-
sumed his mournful pacing of his cell

nose pass unnoticed as are the juicy

place where no one can disturb her
She shall have a monumental small

Nellie for years was the best known
animal in the Lincoln park zoo. She
was the mother of 126 cubs. For sew
eral years she had been blind and
gradually getting feebler with old age.
She was twenty-four years old Cy
De Vry, who has had charge of the
animals for twenty-five years, raised
Nellie from a cub
Prince was purchased from a circus
in Wisconsin on April 6, 1903, for ST.

Nellie. They lived in harmony and
happiness, the best of pals" for ten
long years Visitors used to smile as
they gazed into cage 4 at Nellie and
Prince stretched out on the floor side
by side, both curiously watching the
crowds, as they slowly passed along.
Now Prince is companionless. The
world is lost for him since Nellies
death, and he is cast in gloom. For
