Hog Cholera.

The following is by DR.. L. L. Lewis
of the department of veterinary medi.
cine at Oklahoma A. and M. College,
Saltwater:
/. There is in Oklahoma no dis.
ease of hogs that spreads from farm
as an epidemic except hog cholera.
2. The type of the disease and
symptoms are not the same in all out
breaks. In mild outbreaks one-half
of the hogs may recover, and those
that die may linger two or three
weeks, while in severe outbreaks
practically all die in a week after
showing sickness.
8. The actual cause of hog clolera
is not known, but it is known, but il
known that the cause, whatever ii
may be, may be carried from farm to
farm, by people on their clothing, by
crows, buzzards, hogs, etc., and by
running water.
4. That an infected farm should
be quarantined and the owner should
stay away from his neighbors' farms,
and that everyone should stay away
from an infected farm.
S. That there are a great many So
called hog cholera cures but they do
not seem to be worth very much.
6. That vaccination is a means of
preventing hog cholera and that the
immunity produced by the use Of
serum will last for a few weeks.
Z. That hogs that recover from
cholera, or that have gone through
an outbreak Of the disease, are very
valuable for breeding purposes, as
they are immune to the disease.
8. The hogs well cared for and
free from parasitic troubles are less
likely to contract cholera than hogs
kept in insanitary surroundings.
Q. When cholera first appears in q

WANTS MORE EFFICIENCY
oostm aster General Burleson Making
Plans to Eliminate All Dead
Timber in Department.

Washing ION, June 22.-Postmaster
ieneral burleson has completed plans
.hich he expects will reduce Uncle
SANS bill for delivering mail from 10
% 20 million dollars annually and in
crease the efficiency of the service
about Is per cent. In putting the
postal service on a business basis, he
proposes to cut off enormous ex.
penses entailed because the depart.
ment has been used as much for po-
litical as business purposes.
Several days ago he started out a
squad Of efficiency experts, with or
ders to investigate twelve or fifteen
big postoff1ces and to ascertain just
where the money is being wasted.
Agents have already reported that
thousands of men and women are
drawing salaries who are not needed
and who are an actual impeachment
Many of these men and women have
been on the payrolls for twenty, thirty
and forty years. Getting their jobs
first through politics, they have stayed
on the payroll, though their services
have deprecated annually.
The first cut was announced several
weeks ago, when Otto Praeger, the
Washington postmaster. announced
that he proposed to dismiss fifty-three
men and women June 30, because
their services are not needed in the
local office Mr.. Praeger reported that
the work these fifty-three were sup.
posed to 30 could be done easily by
the other clerks.

community not only the hogs of the
infected herd should be vaccinated,
but all hogs on surrounding farms
should be treated. This will place q
barrier against the most common way
the disease spreads.
10. There are a lot of things to be
learned about hog cholera and its
control, but if good use is made of
what is known, there will be fewer
losses from this cause.

clay" Walking

Some of these nights or Saturdays,
when our streets are crowded with
pedestrians and the autos and motor
cycles are out in force, some awful
fatality will be recorded in this city.
Recently the writer had occasion to
notice some good people come out of
a picture show on the south side.
There were several grown people
and several children of various: sizes
in the party. It was Saturday night
and the streets were full of wheeled
vehicles of all sorts, moving at all
sorts of speed. This party ambled
leisurely, and stragglingly across the
street-just missed the corner OF the
court house square-and hit the side
walk on the west side near Norfleet
& Ream's. The older ones in the
party seemed wholly Indifferent to
autos or motorcycles, and the children
lodged about the best they knew. 1t
seemed so careless and perilous that
we feel like calling attention to such
conduct. Nobody was hurt; but sew
eral might have been-seriously,
fatally.
No one who owns or operates an
auto or motorcycle, or who drives a
good horse wishes to hit or hurt any
one; and speaking generally they are
very careful-there may be excep-
tons, but they have rights on the
broad streets-that is what the streets
are provided for; but they have no
right to run their machines on the
sidewalks-they were provided for
foot travellers.
Now, in all cities where travel con-
gests at crossings, policemen are sta:
toned to direct the stream OF foot
travellers square across the street
from corner to corner, and if any one
persists in trying to 90 obliquely or
"slaunch ways" across he is prompt
ly arrested for clay walking" The
writer has himself been warned by a
policeman for thoughtlessly and hur-
riedly doing this very foolish thing.
The temptation to do so is often very
great; and it is always when the crush
or crowd is greatest that the tempta-
ton is greatest. But that is the very
time when it is perilous to do so.
Butler is not so thronged with people
and vehicles that we need police
man on each corner Of the square,
not yet; but there are times when it
would be wisdom to put one on each
corner and thus save some one in
jury or life, and at the same time ed
ucate the careless. And while we
make no apology for the reckless and
over-speed.limit driver, we do say
they are more careful to observe the
rules of the road and streets than
the pedestrians are. Not long since
we saw a little four year old baby
girl with both hands and its mouth
full of candy knocked down by an
auto which passed over the child;
but fortunately the child so fell that
the wheels did not crush it and it
came out uniniured. 1t was no fault
of the party driving the machine, and
it was just luck that the life of the
little one was not crushed out. The
point is that foot travellers should
be taught not to Gay" walk, and
auto drivers to obey the rules govern
ing them as to caution and speed. X

protesting that his assertion was that
while there are Democrats fully com

ton had been offered to William A.
Wall. engineer and surveyor with, Of
fees in the McCandless building, but
that the city fathers could not see
their way clear to make the salary
sufficiently high to meet the demands
of Mr.. Wall:
Whitehouse made an effort to de-
fend himself before the supervisors
taking exception to the remarks OF
Supervisor Wolter, who stated that
city wagons were idle while valuable
dirt was being carted away for pri'
yate use. Wolter maintained that
this dirt had a high value for street
use. Whitehouse insisted that at NO
time were the wagons of the city and
county. not in use and pointed out
that the carting away of dirt by pri
vate parties was a big saving to the
: city and county. His efforts, now
ever. proved useless.
