that accounts of good actions. un-

Timely Comment
By John Hendrick Bangs

Tho postmaster general OF the
United States has issued plea
for government control of the teie-
graph and telephone system of the
country, and has suggested that
these most important branches OF

in keeping with the notion that has

Special instruction relative to the
prevention and control of hog cholera
will be given during the course for
farmers at State College, Jan. l to IL.
Farmers will be taught what precau-
lions to take in order to prevent the
disease from entering their herds;
and how to prevent the spread of the
disease In case their hogs become af-
flicted. This will include instruction
In the proper methods of isolation
and quarantine.
Special attention will be given to
the disinfecting Of hog and hog quar-
ters, and the proper disposition of
cholera carcasses. Due consideration
will be devoted to the use of serum,
and various methods of protecting
healthy and infected herds.
. This course should prove most help
full to farmers who raise hogs, and
should be a means Of reducing the
$3.000.0 900 loss Of swine in this state
from hog cholera alone. This will
also give farmers an opportunity t.
visit the serum plant at the State
College and see tlrst-hand what pro-
cesses must be effected in the pro-
duction of serum. The course is free.
