hyperimmune hogs. In short time the demands
for serum from farmers the State increased
beyond the capacity of this meagrely equipped
building, and in 1912 an additional appropriation
was made, which resulted in the erection of
new and modern laboratory at a cost of $11 ,0OO
This laboratory, which should meet the demands
of Kentucky swine raisers, has capacity of
100000 cubic centimeters of anti-hog cholera
serum per week, or a sufficient amount of serum
to inoculate $4,000 forty pound pigs. We might
say the insurance of $4,000 worth of healthy
porkers at a nominal cost of $1,000 to the farm
ers. Farmers pay the cost of production for the
serum, l. e., one cent per cubic centmeter.
The laboratory proper is so arranged and
equipped that all serum is handled in one room
in separate containers from that of the virus
and every possible equipment has been installed
to prepare a highly potent serum. With such
laboratory, and the cooperation of the veterin-
arans Kentucky should make good record in
handling this problem The administration of the
serum is confined to graduate veterinarians and
to those nongraduate men who prove efficient
in this work. Only experts allowed to

This method consists in injecting the same
amount of serum as recommended in the serum
alone method, but in addition small amount of
hog cholera virus (blood of hog suffering from
cholera) is injected, before the hog is released,
in the opposite thigh opposite side of the
neck from which the was injected. Severe
transitory effects may follow the use of this
method and occasionally very susceptible pig

state laboratory for the production of anti-hog
cholera serum. Just few years ago the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry invited the
Experiment Station authorities of the various
states to visit the government laboratory at
Ames Iowa; first for the purpose of familiar
izng the state authorities with this dis
covery, and indirectly to have them go before
the legislature of their respective states in behalf
of the swine industry. Their policy was right.

evolution and growth of some of these labora-
tories have been remarkable.
Anti-hog cholera serum is the defbrinated
blood or blood-serum obtained from immune hogs
highly immunized against the disease by repeated
injections of hog cholera virus. The blood is
drawn from the tails of hyperimmune hogs

THE COMBINATION METHOD

The Combination Method consists in first us
ing the serum alone, followed by the injection
of serum and virus in ten or twelve days. This
method has the advantage of preparing the ami
NAL for the serum-simutaneous treatment and
practically removes all danger of loss following
the simultaneous treatment. 1t should be
used especially in valuable herds where the loss

BIG SNOW BLOCK
ADE IN SOUTH
COLORADO, WYOMING AND UTAH
UNDER DEEP SNOW
BLANKET.

The Cheyenne, Wyo., Tribune of
Dec. 9Th, gives an account OF the
great snow storms that visited Col
orado and Wyoming last week. 1t
was the worst in 80 years in Chey-
enne, and the snow was so deep in
the streets that it was impossible to
deliver market products until late
in the afternoon, and then light
wagons had to be hauled with four
horse teams. The railroad company
made no attempt to move street
cars, and eight west bound passeng-
er trains on the Union Pacific were
stalled few miles east of Cheyenne
and four of the trains were for SO
hours marooned within the city lim-
its, unable to move either way. Most
of the passengers remained on the
trains and were kept from suffering
by extra engines that forced their
way from the city to supply heat
and food. The snow blockade was
complete on other lines as we'll. A
number of Italians in the city had
never before seen snow and were
greatly interested in the novel sight.
The weather was not cold. The roof
of the Burlington depot collapsed
from the weight of snow. Hun
dreds of shovelers were required to
raise the blockade, which also ex-
tended into Utah.

MORE BROS. STORE BURNS
At WIMBLEDON
$4,000 Blaze Destroys Large Hard
ware StOre-Origin Unknown.

Wimbledon, Dec. Fire of un-
known origin totally destroyed the
large More Brothers hardware store
this morning. The fire was discov-
cred at o'clock and then had such
a headway that it was impossible to
check the flames or save anything of
value.
The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, $4,000 on the stock and
100000 on the building. 1t is
thought that spontaneous combus-
tion from mops used in oiling the
floors started the blaze. The loss is
fully covered by insurance.
The building was double store
structure, two stories high, of brick
construction. The fact that the
building was equipped with fireproof
windows prevented the flames from
spreading to nearby buildings. The
large machine shed used by the firm
located near the store, caught fire
several times, but the flames were
put out and no damage was done to
the machinery stored there. A frame
store building adjoining the burned
structure was saved.
This store was one of the largest
and finest equipped in the state.

left at o'clock in the morning, and
there was no trace of fire at that
time. Harry Hammond, an employe
of More Bros, who lived on the Sec
ond floor Of the building, lost all his
furniture, household goods and cloth
ing, the family barely escaping with
their lives.

After carefully considering the
advantages of the various places
available for the rest room to be con-
Quoted in this city for the use of all
women in the county tributary to
Jamestown, by the recently orga-
nized Country Woman's Club of
Jamestown, the two front rooms on
the second floor of the city hall have
finally been chosen as the most suit
able and convenient, these rooms
having been decided upon in place of
the basement of the Elks hall, the To-
cation first proposed. The Rest
Room in the city hall will be opened
for use on Saturday, Dec. 13. The
officers of the Country Woman's club
together with Miss Vietch, who as
representative of the. North Dakota
Better Farming association is assist
ing in the efforts to better the con-
dition of the women on the FARMS"
found that there would be an un-
necessary expense in fitting up the
large Elks basement, erecting par
titons and covering the floors, as we'll
as the noise and keeping the base
ment entrance clear in the winter.
The two rooms on the second floor
Of the city hall will have all neces-
sary conveniences for the women
and children-chairs, tables, cots,
toilet, etc.
Saturday, Dec. 13, at the opening,
tea will be served in the afternoon,
and all the women in the county,
whether members Of the club or not,
are cordially invited to attend.

for Smith, Messrs. Combs & Ritchie,
that the statute does not necessar-
lily provided for the presence of de-
fendant at a trial in court, in cases
of misdemeanor. Also that the

defendant had been found guilty,
and that as there had been no trial
Of his case, he had not been found
guilty. AL
The court decided in favor of the
county. largely on the ground, it is
understood, that no bond had been
furnished but cash bail had been
put up instead, and that the defend-
ant had never asked for a refund.
Until this was done the county holds
the money on the order of the court;
that the suit of ]. S. Smith was an

COUNTY REPORT ON
BETTER FARMING
BRIEF STATEMENT OF ASSOCIA.
TION'S WORK FOR SEASON
OF 1913,

superintendent A. F. Borchert,
Stutsman county's representative of
the North Dakota Better Farming
association, has made a brief resume
of the work done in Stutsman coun-
ty during the past season, the report
to be included in a general annual
report for the entire state, of the N.
D. B. F. A. The report follows:
Our county has sixty-four town
ships, and we have reached all in
our work, although in some town.
ships little work has been done. We
also have some co-operators in
Barnes, Kidder and Logan counties.
We have one hundred twenty fields
of alfalfa, and already have assur-
ance of 500 acres more in 1914.
This year we were instrumental in
helping save $500 buahels of seed
corn, which means approximately
$4,000 acres of corn from home
grown seed in 1914. When the re-
suits of the boys corn contest are
taken into consideration, the great
value of this becomes readily ap-
parent. Home grown seed corn is
absolutely necessary here for sue
cessful corn growing.
We have done work in planning
and assisting in the building of five
hog houses, four hen houses, eight
barns, two houses, two machine
sheds, one corn crib and eight silos.
In 1914 we expect nine more silos;
there are now fourteen.
We are assisting in getting stock;
have seven farmers now for whom we
are procuring bulls. !.
Have helped in beautifying home
grounds with fruit. trees, driveways
properly planned and buildings taste
fully aand5 economically arranged.
We plan ,homastaads SO US to save
ground and labor, thus eliminating
unnecessary walking.
This year Marquis wheat was in
;troduced, the yield being Ave and six
bushels per acre greater, and eight
to ten days earlier than other wheats.
In 1914 the acreage will be greatly
increased.
More discing behind binder and
plow is being done. Earlier, better
and deeper plowing is also becoming
a fact. Some stacking, too, was done
this year; more is promised for next
year. ..,..
Our clubs, whose number will be
doubled this winter, are a satisfac-
ton to their members. One club
has built a telephone line; another
will build up community ice house,
also a scale at a convenient place on
the road to their shipping and SELL
ing point.
Our corn contest brought to light
a boy who was able to grow 81 BUSH
els of corn per acre; 80 per cent was
ripe Sept. 9th.
The boys in the county corn con-
test are using Minnesota No. %.
Many farmers will use this for their
crops in 1914.
The pork production contests
show what is possible under North
Dakota conditions. A new contest
ant has eight pigs, two hundred ten
days old, averaging two hundred If
ty-six pounds each. This was pro-
duced at large profit by using green
crops.
Our assistance in supplying serum
and its proper use, has practically
eliminated the hog cholera IA our
county. Carcasses were properly
buri.i or burned. ...

Prize Fight Titles HopeIessIy Mixed
-Ritchie Real Champ.


There is only one unqUestioned
prize fight champion at the present
time. That is Willie Ritchie, king of
the lightweight division. In the other
classes there are claims and counter
claims.
Arthur Pelkey claims the heavy
weight championship because of his
victory over Luther McCaTty. Gun
boat Smith disputes Pelkey's title and
with good reason.
Discussing the middles is a hope
less task. McGoorty, Gibbons, Klaus,
Dillon and even Papke lay claim to
premier honOrs and not one has
enough bulge to be handed the I'M
disputed crown.
Johnny Kilbane is the recognized
featherweight, but the draw he
fought with Johnny Dundee did not
strengthen his position. From all &C
counts, Dundee actually put up the
best battle This is indicated, too, by
the fact that promoters are offering
fights to the New Yorker, but the
Cleveland lad, though champion, has
not been sought after.
Johnny COulOn, pride Of Logan
Square, is bantam champion, &C
cording to the record books, but Kid
Williams of Baltimore claims he can
lick John any day in the week. There
is little chance for COulon to lose his
title in a ring. After putting. off his
scheduled fight with Williams be-
cause of Illness, COulon has at last
definitely cancelled the engagement.
A series of elimination bouts in all
classes, such as determined the
heavyweight championship when
Luther McCarty won it from Jim
Flynn and Al Palzer, is about the only
way out. There is a chance for some
promoter to make a nice bunch of
change and at the same time do a
