According to Eugene H. Grubo,
the famous potato expert, this coun-
try next year will have to raise
100000 more bushes of potato S
than it did this year.
Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson has quarantined this coun-
try against potatoes from England.
Scotland, Ireland, Germany. Aus

because the potato canker is preva-
lent in these countries. That means
that American poSato growers will
have to get busy and supply the de-
ficiency that will arise on account
of this lack of importat' on.
What this means to the potato
district like Montrose county, whi~h
is rapidly evesoring into one of
the best in the state, may wei be
realized. 1t is necessary, however,
for farmers to take heed to the
warning which was sounded by Mr..
Grubb on visit to Montrose a week
ago. It will be remembered that
at the time, Mr.. Grubb stated we
should be very careful to select ssed
free from disease, if poss Bile, for
planting in the valley or extremely
deleterious results would result to
the district.

HORSES AND MULES.
Money-Makers for the Richfield
Farmer.

S. D. L. Ross took 6 young mules to
Twin Falls, this week, and sold them
for $1,000. He raised the mules on his
farm northwest of town, the farm he
sold to j. S. Mcintyre. He came here
to raise stock, intentionally choosing a
place on the outskirts of the tract so
as to have free open range for pasture.
A crop of horses or mules natures
rather slowly, but it brings in lot of
real money wnen it is turned off, and
for years past there has been a clam
orous, high-priced market for all good
stock.
1t is noticeable that many farmers on
the Richfeld tract have been going in
to the horse business extensively this
year. The showing of colts at the
Richfeld day fair was large enough and
good enough for many county or dis
trict fair 4hat made live stock one of
its star attractions.

The band meeting called for Mon
day night was not able to accomp-
lish much, as no definite answer had
been received from the city coun-
Gil as to what could be done in the
purchase of instruments by the city.
1T has been privately agreed. if the
Recorder is correctly informed, that
the city will if possible purchase
enough instruments to form the nu-
cleus of a permanent band-all the
big horns, the bass drum, and
enough others so that even without
anyone furnishing his own ms rd-
ments band could be maintained
that could play muse. The COM
mittee appointed at the fist meet
ing to select instruments, recomend-
ed the purchase of smaller number
of Instruments outright, rather than
general contribution to the band
which If supplemented by individual
contributions would leave the horns
with a disputed title-but in the
hands Of the players who might fesl
like holding them for what they had
in them. II the city gives anything

Enough of those who were first
mentioned as willing to take parts
in the band, have signed up to in
sure good organization if the city
buys the seven instruments that
were recommended by the commit
tee. Others are ready to sign up
and buy horns of their own, so that
the band can be considered as a

week, the proposal to admit boys
and young women was temporarily
negatived, and it was agreed to-
admit only men and boys above 18
years of age. 1t will come up for

| lots. The germ of hog cholera may
be readily carried in small amount
of dirt on the shoes.
3. Do not put new stock, either
hogs or cattle, in lots with the herd
already on thefarm. Newly purchas
ed hogs should be put In separate
enclosures we'll separated from the
herd ON the farm and kept under
observation for three weeks, because
practically all stock cars, unloading
chutes and pens are infected with
hog cholera and hogs shipped by
rail are therefore apt to contract
hog cholera.
4. Hogs sent to fairs should be
quarantined for at least three weeks
after they return to the farm.
5. If hog cholera breaks out on
a farm, separate the sick from the
apparently healthy animals and
burn all carcasses of dead animals
on the day of death. Do not leave
them unburned, for this will en-
danger all other farmers in the
neigh borhood. Dogs, crows or buz-
yards may transport particles Of
flesh from dead hogs and thus car
ry the disease.
6. If after the observance of all
possible precautions, hog cholera
appears on your farm, notify the
state veterinarian and sel ure serum
for the treatment of these not al
fected. The early application OF
the serum is essential.

As Preventative Measures.

When hog cholera appears in the
neighborhood observe the following
precautions;
Do not visit your neighbors' pens
or enclosures, nor allow any un-
authorized person to go into your
pens or enclosures. Keep your dog
tied. Confine your hogs to small,
dry pens or enclosures, in not over
ten to fifteen in bunch. Disin-
feet troughs and pens daily with
percent solution of creolin or car
bolic acid. Hogs recently purchased
for breeding purposes should be
kept isolated for at least fourteen
days before being placed with other
hogs. Hogs sold for breeding pur-
poses should be Grated and express
ed and not allowed In stock yard.
Intelligent prevention is much
more satisfactory than treatment.
Do not allow hogs to run all over
your place as is customary in the
fall of the year, especially If chol-
era is present in your community
Dust from the public highway may
be infected. Keep your hogs away
from bitches and canals This is
very important, especially If it has
run through an infected place before
reaching your own. Feed good,
wholesome feed. If your hogs are
in good condition they are less likel,
to contract the disease. 1t would
be we'll to give mild physic oc-
casionally in order to clean out the
system.
Beware of hog cholera remedies.
Many remedies have been given as
sure cures" but as yet no cure
is known.
Taken from report of Bureau Of
Animal Industry.
L. Do not locate hog lots near
public highway, a railroad or a
stream. The germ of hog cholera
may be carried along any one of
these avenues.
2. Do not allow strangers or
to enter your hog lots
and do not go into your neighhors'
