There has been a demand for aged

not been lively as seller would care to

in placing bids and shippers at times
have been away from the market en-

this week to dispose of some stock
rather than hold over on an uncertain
market. The number of lamb sales this
week above the SO mark has not been

decrease of 1,763,OOO in the number Of

Senators in Fair Way to Get
Money For Hog Cholera Fight

appropriation to wipe out the scourgo.
Congressman O'Hair of Illinois, is one
of the most active. Congressman
Haugen Of Iowa, as ranking member
of the republican minority on the
house agricultural committee, also
should have much to say in the fight.
That the department of agriculture
is experimenting in the fight on chol-
era is shown by the following official
statement issued today:
The department of agriculture dur.
ing the past year has been conducting
campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska to control the con.
tagious disease of hogs known as hog
cholera by means of anti-hog cholera
serum and farm guarantees. In one
county (Pettis county. Missouri,
where there was loss Of Is per cent
in 1911 and 25.6 per cent in 1912 Of
all hogs raised, there was only loss
of 14.7 per cent up to November, 1913.
This decrease was due to the use OF
the serum, which, although not used
there by the departments agents until
August, 1918, materially reduced the
loss. About $4,000 hogs were raised
during the past year and of the 10000
that died of the hog cholera only
about 1000 were lost after the active
use of serum and quarantine measures
In every county where these meas
ures we're employed, even though be-
gun after the disease had continued
its ravages for some time, there was
less loss from hog cholera than In
either of the two preceding years.
T,, % - f,,r
preventive, it has been found that
the anti-hog cholera serum would
cure large proportion Of hogs in the
early stages Of the disease and render
them immune after recovery. How
ever, if hogs are not treated by this
serum, from IS to 100 per cent of all
affected herds die. This serum, so
far as is known, is the only thing that
will prevent the disease.
OF hogs actually sick when treated,
the departments inspectors lost but
rs per cent during the past summer.
OF we'll hogs in diseased herds, 2.3
per cent died after being treated and
of hogs in exposed herds less than one
per cent died after being inoculated
with the serum. In an infected herd
there Is always certain proportion
of hogs that are we'll.
The inspector examines the hogs
when he arrives, takes the tempera-
ture of all hogs in the herd and
separates the sick from the well. The
temperature is an indication Of the
sickness. The temperature of sick
hcg, unless the hog is near death. will
run above 104 degrees, and sometimes
as high as 1O7 or 1oS degrees, Faren-

OF AGRICULTURE
is IMBUED WITH IDEA THAT
SERUM WILL CURE.
IBY ELISHA HANSON. !

Washington, d. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Kenyon of Iowa and Senator Pomer'
enc Of Ohio, by joining forces, appear
to be In fair way to get an approprla-
ton large enough to check the raw.
ages of hog cholera this year, If not
to stamp that disease out entirely.
Monday afternoon the Iowan and the
Ohioan made their set speeches in ia
vor of the Kenyon bill appropriating
S1,000,000 for the eradication of hog
cholera. During his remarks, Senator
Pomerene said he had first introduced
bill appropriating 100000 but that
after he had studied the subject more
closely, he had become convinced the
amount asked by Senator Kenyon was
none too large.
In twenty-six states in this country
last year, according to Senator Pom
creme. the losses from hog cholera
mounted up to over $55,000,O00. In
Iowa alone the losses were about $l5,-
100000. Missouri lost over $4,000, 900:
Kansas wore $5,000,O00 and Illinois and
Nebraska each over 100000. Ohio
lost close to 100000 worth Of hogs.
In each of twelve states the losses
ranged from $1,000,000 to $15,0OO,000,
and only in those states where few
hogs are raised were there slight
losses.
Both Senator Kenyon and Senator
Pomerene urged immediate action in
the fight as cholera is combatted more
easily in cold weather than in warm.
They pointed out that if congress
waits for the agricultural appropria-
ton bill to make it's hog cholera ap-
preparation, much valuable time will
be lost, as that bill will not be report
ed from the house committee for sew
eral weeks yet, and it will be May In
all likelihood before it becomes law,
if it does that soon.
Heretofore the department has been
handicapped by insufficient funds and
by lack of cooperation on the part OF
states in the fight waged on hog chol-
era Secretary Houston this year re-
commended an appropriation of but
100000 for the entire hog cholera cam
paign, including the erection and
equipping Of serum laboratory. Since
making that recommendation, Score
tary Houston has conferred with Sen
ators Kenyon and Pomerene and it is
probable that he will revise his esti-
mate upward A strong fight is being
made in the house to get sufficient

operating in Wichita, was exposed
while giving his materializing seance

Roche kindly donated the services OF
the detective for the exposure at the
request of the Pinkerton company

The men and women who had been
going to Doctor Curtis rooms night az
ter night to see and talk with their de-
parted relatives through Aber at dol

The utmost confusion prevailed while
the rays of the flashlight revealed the

SCHOOL PUPILS GUESTS At FAIR.

With spring comes the closing of the
rural schools and the scattering of not
onlv the pupils but the teachers. Early
in the wear the Delaware State Fair
Association sent to all the schools in the
State, letters asking for the number of
pupils and teachers in each school. The
Fair Association hopes to have as many
of the children of the State as well as
each teacher, for their guests on Tues
nav, September Sth, and in order to in
sure the timely delivery of these tickets
it was necessary to commence the work
of the distribution very early.
State Commissioner of Education Wag-
ner gave his approval to the plan of the
Fair Association and the responses have
al been attended to as promptly as they
ere received. The secretary of the
Fair Association, however, regrets that
many of the teachers have ignored the
letter entirely. failing to return the post
card which was enclosed and thus cutting
the pupils in their school off from the
OppOrtun " to receive free ticket and
also from the opportunity to compete
either as individuals or as schools for
some Of the valuable prizes. Even now
the literature and tickets may be sent
out, it is however, too late to enter for
the Photographic contest.
If the teachers whose cards have been
received will send their addresses up to
August 10th. TO S. H. Wilson, Jr.,
secretary Of the Delaware State Fair,
Wilmington. he will see that their own
personal admission ticket is sent to them
direct and not to the address of the
school. And Of the teachers tickets
will be mailed on August 10th.
