ed when the va~ccinating is done, Is a
frequent cause of loss. Syringes and
needles must be boiled and kept free
from foreign germs.
The hogs should not be taken up
from a muddy yard or filthy pen and
vaccinated Immediately. Neither
should they be placed in such pens or
yards for a day or two after vaccinat.
ing.
The site OF injection on the inside
of the thigh must be thoroughly dis
infected before the injection is made,
and wiped again with d~isinfectant
after the needle Is withdrawn. Failure
to follow these directions are frequent
causes of serious losses.
Fifth:-Serum Is not stored on ice
as it should be. When 1t Is received
at the express office 1t should be call
ed for at once and used as soon after
its arrival as possible. When kept, II
only for several hours, it should be
placed in a dark cool place. A cool
clean cellar will do very well.
Sixth:-Serum should be poured
from the bottle into a teacup or
tumbler that has been in boiling water
for fifteen minutes. The cork must
not be laid down but replaced at once.
The cup or tumbler holding the serum
must be protected from dust and for
eign particles by keeping it covered
with a small square Of clean surgeons
gauze.
Seventh:-Serum when potent Is a
safe preventive against cholera. If
careless methods are employed In its
collection or handling, undesirable
germs of various kinds may easily get
into it and cause results Of a most
highly unsatisfactory nature.
The veterinary department at State
College Is advising farmers to employ
their nearest reliable graduate veterin-
arian to do the v~accinating. Expert
ence has demonstrated most complete
ly that this is the best means for Sc
curing the best results, because the
veterinarian Is supplied with the nee
essary s~yringes and appreciates the
importance of the above causes of fail
ure more than the farmer does.

WHY vAccINATED HOGS SOME
TIMES DIE

1T Is true that farmers sometimes
suffer losses in their herds after vac
cinating with hog cholera serum"
says DR.. C. c. Lipp, the State College
veterinarian, land these losses may
vary from one or two per cent to as
much as fifty per cent, and even more,
but it is frequently unjust to blame
the serum for such heavy loss. A
small loss Is to be expected, which
should not exceed several animals out
OF every hundred vaccinated." In reply
to the query as to how he would &C
count for heavier losses than that
when serum is used, Professor Lipp
says:
"In order to explain these heavy
losses and help place the blame where
it properly belongs, the following prob
able losses may be enumerated:
Frst:-The presence of hog cholera
should be positively diagnosed. Entire
herds OF hogs may show evidence Of
an apparently contagious disease that
Is not cholera. Vaccination in such
herds will not stop the losses, and may
result in placing the blame on the
serum used.
Second:-The serum may not be OF
sufficient potency. This should rarely
be the cause of loss when properly
tested serum Is used.
Third:-Through ideas of economy.
the dose OF vaccine may be too small.
1t is most unwise to economic ON the
size OF the dose.
Fourth:-Improper methods employ

LET TIERS TO THE EDITOR
That Problem Again.

MT. Editor: WniIe there may be an infinite number of solutions to prob lem, only one can be correct, and that Is the one which will stand the test of proof. After all, the proof of the pud- ding is not in the eating, but in the digesting of 1t. While there are some good points in the attempted solution of M w. B.. 1t contains two palpable errors that on analysis his mathemat- ical eye will see.
 What an article should be sold for to obtain profit of 10 per cent. when the operating expense is 22 per cent, is not triffing elusive conundrum but a practical question every merchant who is doing a sane and safe traffic must daily decide. M. w. B.'s first error lies in his setting out to derive his expense of operations from one base and his profit from another, when it is obvious that both must come out of the same base-namely, the selling price. This leads to a second error in his computation shown in his paren- thesis ($1 divided by ,78) which he assumes produces s1.2s2. Either of the above errors is fatal to a correct answer and if M. w. B. bought an article at $1 and sold 1t for $1.41 he would get only about ' per cent, while he is figuring for To-

MAY BRING VETO.

If the members of congress have their way there will be a good sized building boom instituted throughout the country with government build ings as the particular structures which they favor. The house continued to add to the public building bill until it reached a huge sum for a time when the determination and cry for economy was so plainly and loudly heard but the senate took no lesson from their action and proceeded with calm de- liberation to add twenty million more to tho appropriation bill needed to se- cure these political gifts. The bill left the house diseredited both by the ap- office department and as if to make sure of it's being pushed into the ridi- eulous class, the senate promptly add ed more than enough te build one of the largest battieships, which congress has been told the country needs. but which there Is a decided opposition to-.
 What action the president viii take on this raid upon the treasury remains to be seen. Predictions are being made that it will draw forth his veto. It is surely against his policy and the policy of the administration to dis tribute so many costly buildings through out the country in such small places and with such disregard for re- quirements. The bill is in such shape that a veto is justified though the bills advocates should be in sufficient num- bers to pass it over his veto. Time has been spent on working up this meas ure which could far better have been devoted to needed legislation.

The Cats of the White House.

MT. Editor: Today one of The Bull letin's Condensed Te1egrams says:
 .The White House cats will have to find new homes after March 4 next. Mrs. Wilson wife of the preside elect, dislixes cats and will not allow them to continue with the new admin istration.'
 Now it strikes me that Mrs Wilson should give the cats to General Rosalie Jones as a bodyguard, she who though of military tactics. you know, recently climbed a fence for safety and to show her courage, when the naughty boys dropped mice at her feet to impede her hiking near Washing ton: she who seemed to think that even a tight fitting skirt couldn't pro tect her. and who acted like some brave (?j woman who don't know how to swing a broom or a rolling pin to defend themselVesi
 With the presidential cats gone, what could be more bef1tting for the new first lady of the land" to do than to have a young bull moose in bronze stationed near the entrance to the national mansion to scare all cats away and suggest at the same time how the Wilson's got into and the cats out of the. White House. Taft ought not to be compelled by the Kindness of his heart to hike the cats off with him to Yale. where the students might give them another hazfng.

THE COAL SITUATION.

One of the welcome announcements to all househoiders and the poor in particular is the reduction in the price
 of coal. For two months the price of
 this necessity has been at the top
 notch and it's drop indicates better
 condition in the coal market, cause
 for thanksgiving and stimulates a hope for still further action downward. Ma ture has played an important part in
 thwarting the coal barons this winter
 and to the Inildness of the weather to
 a large extent Is due this reduction at the present time. as consumption
 has been diminished below ordinary
 requirements and production has been
 allowed to show a material increase.
 Now that the supply has increased
 so that it is more than able to meet the demand, production should not be
 allowed to decrease. but on the other
 hand it should be pushed for the pur-
 pose of creating a sufficiently large wherewith to take care of the
 period of non-p production caused by
 strikes or other troubles which are blamed for the coal shortage. The
 coal situation has gotten to the point where the consumer considers him. self hopelessly in the grasp of the barons and their arbitrary control of prices. There needs to be an adjust ment of the coal business whereby 1t can be handled with a regard for the law of supply and demand. The past winter has been an example of the disregard for the consumer which such great supplies waiting to be tap ped and would not if the economic 1 laws were allowed to operate natur- ally

THE RAILROAD CONFERENCE.

Added interest is created in this end of the state by the appointments made by Governor Baldwin as delegates from Conn to the New England gail road conference. Two corners of the state are represented by Hon. George M. Woodruf of Ltchdeld and Hon. Costello Lippitt of Norwich. Half of the states have had their delegates ap- pointed by the governor and men who are well qualified to consider the mer- its of the important question before them have been selected. It must be realized by those upon whom the re- sponsfbfiity is being placed that they have a task set for them which re- Gszdres much thought and consideration and that they have an opportunity to render 8 great service not only to their own respective states but to all of New England
 The problems are common ones and their best solution is to be gained by aiming for joint action and legislation which this conference should ts able sary for concerted steps and this con ference while not intended to dictate can offer many valuable suggestions on the basis that the interests of the six New England states are alike and the best results can be accomplished by uniform legislation. Not only to the legislatures but to the railroad companies will the result of the de Alterations be of value for future guid- ance.

INTERVENTION NOT WARRANTED

Deplorable as is the state of affairs in Mexico, conditions have not reached such . stage that this country would be warranted in intervention. No such step is intended if it can be avoided, though preparations are underway for the placing of large forces at advan- tageous points in case they should be needed at quick notice. No civilized nation can approve the acts which have been committed in Mexico City. but they furnish no basis for this coun- try to send an army of invasion into occurred in the capital seem horrible to us yet they are in accordance with Mexican precedents.

MEASUREMENTS POLICY.

Presfdent-elect Wilson has stirred up much criticism and anxiety by his determination not to announce the members of his cabinet until he does so to the senate. This is within his rights and is saving those who are going to make up his official family, if he has made up his mind as to who they will be. from getting Into any political entanglements before they are ready to take up their work.
 This action on the part of MT. Will son is in line with his Eeticence con cerning matters pertaining to the pres fdency, but it is not without prece- dent. The Boston Transcripts says: Contrary to the belief of many who are disposed to criticise, the president elect for guarding wefl'dni cabinet se- cret, MT. Wilson is adhering to a pres .dentiaI custom followed by many of his predecessors. It is only in more recent years that the names of the cabinet officers have been hung tip on the line for public inspection weeks in advance of their nomination. So determined was President Grant to keep his selections secret that Mir. Borie of Pennsylvania, who returned to Philadelphia immediately after the inaugural ceremonies. first learned that he was to be in the cabinet as he stepped off the train and saw his nomination as secretary of the navy in a Philadelphia evening paper"
 However closely Mir.

OVER HALF OF ALL SICKNESS CAUSED
 BY CLOGGED UP WEAKENED KIDNEYS
Hundreds Are Suffering With Kidney Trouble and Don't Know It. Backache, Bladder Disorder and
 Rheumatism Are The Result

It is a well recognized fact a4l-o4.s physicians today, that the greater part of all sickness can be avoided by keeping the kidneys working properly.
 This Is even more important than for the bowels to move regularly, because the kidneys and bladder are the nlterers and sewers of the body If you suffer with pains in the back or sides, bladder or urinary disor- ders, lumbago, rheumatism, dizziness, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, nervousness, tired and worn-out feeling. or any of the many other symptoms of kidney trouble, don't neglect yourself anoth- CT day and run the risk of serious complications. Secure an original package of Croxone. which costs but a trifie, take three doses day. for few days, and you will be surprised how entirely different you will feel.
 Croxone cures the very worst cases because it removes the cause of such
Norwich bulletin., 1913-02-25

troubles. It soaks right in and cleans out the kidneys and makes them filter out all the poisonous waste matter and uric acid that lodges in the joints and muscles, causing rheumatism; soothes and heals the bladder and quickly effects a cure.
 It is the most wonderful remedy ever made for the purpose. You will find it entirely different from any thing you have ever used. There is nothing else on earth to compare with it. It matters not how old you are or how long you have suffered, the very principle of Croxone is such that 1t is practically impossible 10 take it into the human system with out results.
 You can secure an original package of Croxone from any f1rst-class drug store, such as that of Lee and Osgood Co. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone fails to give the desired re- suits the very first time you use it.
