Keep posted concerning the condi-
ton and health of hogs on your neigh
bors' farms, advises the department
OF agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor-
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the germs of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet of men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly in or
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
ly discovered.
If any hogs in the herd are found to
be "off feed or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble Is probably hog chol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one Of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
described in Farmers Bulletin 379 of
the department.
When the first symptoms of sick
ness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble. This is particularly true
of swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease to spread in
the herd do not temporize, but imme-
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board. Prompt administra-
ton Of the serum is essential to sue
cess.
Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought of such diseases as
lung plague" infectious pneumonia
"pig typhoid for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given to
hog cholera by uniformed men.

Great Damage Caused by the Chinch
Bug.
The department of agriculture states
that chinch bugs in go years have
probably caused loss Of $3.50, O00,O 900
to the American farmers. The bugs
are more effectively destroyed during
the winter months than later when
they have left their winter quarters
The burning of dry grass, leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields is the best method of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug is distributed gen
orally throughout the United States
except in the extreme West, and has
caused particular damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west
The greatest losses from the insect
have been in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when
full grown is about one-fifth of an inch
in length. 1t is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids III
the destruction Of the bug. This is
particularly effective to the north
ward in the Middle west, when the
grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences so
that it cannot be burned. Leaving the
ground bare of vegetation permits the
bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, which kills them. 1t is often
possible to clear out hedge rows and
along rail fences, piling the refuse to
one side where it can be burned later.
1t is most advisable to get rid of the
bugs before they enter the young

Hull, which has just secured its

handling freight on the English rail-
ways. The system practically means
the sorting of goods in warehouse by
simply pressing a button. Electrical
machinery has been invented by a
company with which Mr.. Marconi is
associated for dividing the warehouse
into a series of alphabetical sections.

It is not necessary to apply arsen-
