THE SERUM SITUATION

Hog cholera is usually most pre-
valent during. late August, .Septem-
Der and October, but this year it
has appeared a month earlier than
usual and in sections of the state
heretofore regarded as uninfected.'
It seems hard that we should
know the best methods of prevent
ing this disease and yet be unable
to put this knowledge to good use,
but the legislature at its last ses-
sion appropriated $4,000 year for
the next two years with which to
supply Minnesota farmers with Sc
rum, but specified a price which is
only about one-fourth of its actual
cost. This means a heavy loss on
all serum sent out, and practically
limits the output of the plant as it
must stop the distribution for any
given year when it has lost $4,000.
When serum was sold at cost the
plant was self-supporting and there
was no limit to the amount of Sc
rum distributed except the capacity
of the plant. Now that we must
sell at loss we must stop as soon
as we lose a certain amount each
year.
We have orders now on file for
as much serum as we can produce
during the next six months, and in
making our shipments are giving
the preference to sick herds. We
advise local veterinarians to pro-
cure" serum from commercial SER
UNI plants, but they are also unable
to fill their orders. -, $780, '','''

Property Versus Life.

To the legal mind, apparently,
the rights of property have always
seemed of more Importance than
human life. For hundreds of years
it was possible for a man brutally
to maltreat his child with less legal
risk than if he had poached a hare.
Gradually human life became more
valuable; but even today it fails to-
receive the protection that is ac-
corded ito property. It is no un-s
common thing to find reported in.
British newspapers cases in which
a drunken navy has kicked and
otherwise abused his wife, to re-
ceive no greater punishment at the
hands of the law than a paltry fine,
while the unhappy wight who;
driven by hunger, steals "a loaf, is
sent to prison. Nor do we need to
80 oversee to find such instances of
the worship of property. An excel
lent illustration of the workings of
the legal mind in problems of this
kind is to be found in a study of
ten Notices of Judgment issued by
the United States Department u1
Agriculture and giving in detail the
account of ten violations of the
Food and Drugs Act. These ten
cases deal with Charges brought
against the firm of Hawley and
Hoops, New York, who are in the
candy business. Hawley and Hoo Us
sell what is known as penny goods;
that is, the kind of candy purchas-
ed by the little tot who has been
given penny to spend. Ten diff
ferent specimens of ,Hawley and
Hoops penny goods were seized by
the officials of the Bureau of
Chemistry and analysed. All of
them were found to be adulterated
with arsenic and most of them
contained shellac. All of them were
being sold as chocolate candies, yet
the officers reported that some did
not even have the predominating
flavor of chocolate. In every case
the firm pleaded guilty. In nine
out of the ten cases NO penalty was
imposed, the " court suspending
Judgment. In the tenth case a fine
OF $50 was imposed. The case in
which a fine was imposed was the
one, and the only one, in which the
company had not entirely sold a
poisonous product to little children
but had misstated the net weight of
the package in which the arsenic
containing candies came! Selling
to little children as chocolate can
dy mixture containing arsenic
and shellac is, apparently, in the
eyes of the law. a trivial offense.
But selling to dealer package
marked five pounds that really con
tanned only four pounds fourteen
and five-eights ounces, that is a
crime! s .'..i 1t. .s@ II. ~ .#

PHOSPHATE'. PRODUCTION
LARGE ''
More Than 100000 Tons Mined
Florida Produced Nearly .
$10,000,000 Worth.

Phosphate rock, which is the
principal cource of one of the three
fertilizing elements necessary for
plant growth, was marketed in the
United States last year to the ex-
tent of 2,973,332 long tons, valued at
$11,675,774. This was slight de-
crease in both quantity and value
compared with the figures for the
preceding year, but the amount of
phosphate rock mined was greater
than in 1914, excepting in South
Carolina. In Florida the increase
was 8 per cent, in Tennessee it was
over ~ per cent and in the western
phosphate field it was over 10 per
cent.
Stocks of phosphate rock on hand
also increased in the two main pro-
ducing Southern States, Florida and
Tennessee. On the whole the in
dustry in the main southern phos-
phate field was active.
The production of phosphate
rock in Florida was 81 per cent 5l
the entire output of the United
States. The output of this State,
which at the present time leads in
the phosphate industry, was with
one exception, that of 1914, the
greatest in the history of the State.
The quantity marketed for the year
was 2,406,899 long tons, valued at
$9,4O6, 297-a slight decline both in
tonnage and calue compared with
1911. Tennessee furnished 14.2 per
cent of the phosphate marketed in
the United States in 1912, the total
production of the State being 423,-
33i long tons, valued at $1,64O,476
In South Carolina 1871, AGO long tons
was marketed, valued at $524,76O-
a considerable decline compared
with 1911.
In the Western States the pro-
duction of phosphate came from
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming and
amounted to 1852 long tons, a gain
of 1O.5 per cent compared with 1914
The value of the product increased
considerably, the average price per
ton being greater in 1912 than in
1911.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources
1872" by w. C. Phalen, giving, be-
sides statistics of production of
phosphate rock for the whole Coun-
try, figures showing the production
of the individual States for the last
five years. Tables showing imports
and exports of fertilizer materials

Tossing the Caber.

throwing the caber, than which there

by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one of the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests. The caber is a long section

the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing 1t raises
the pole to a vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end Of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such a way that the small end will
describe a half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber. having been
thrown in the manner described. lands

T% HE recent news of the serious Ill

pan, was a surprise not only to
the western world, but to the
inhabitants of the mikado's own realm.
Not until his condition became so
grave that nearly a dozen of the court
physicians were in attendance did the
public, even the citizens Of Tokyo,
know the mikado was indisposed.
Their first knowledge Of the emperor's
Illness was conveyed by an official
bulletin
The bulletin, signed by eight of the
court physicians, was in these terms:

Lungs Always Weak.

While Yoshihito was still child the
court physicians observed that his
lungs were weak, and while he was
still the crown prince came many re-
ports to the effect that he might not
live to occupy the throne.
Yoshihito's accession to the throne of
Japan took place July 80, 1912, but the
formal coronation ceremonies We're
postponed until the official term of
court mourning for the Emperor Nut
suhito should end, late in 1913.
Yoshihito Harunomiya, the one hun
dred and twenty third male successor to
the imperial throne of Japan, was born
Aug. 81, 1879. On his eighth birthday
he was nominated heir apparent. be-

was seen that no heir was to be ex-

The two elder brothers Of Yoshihito
died soon after birth
On being nominated heir apparent
Yoshihito received the decoration of
