CROWS CARRY HOG CHOLERA.

A South Dakota farmer troubled
with hog cholera recently wrote Prof.
J.. w. Wilson of the state college con
corning danger Of crows carrying the
disease from place to place. The let
tel and It's reply are given herewith:
We have a large place here with 400
hogs on hand at present, 50 the danger
from cholera is very real to US. The
crows are quite numerous and very
bold. as no one seems to think It
worth while to modest them. In the
meantime they fly over miles Of coun-
try every day. alighting in fields and
feed lots wherever food is offered. We
have over 90 acres OF alfalfa with pas
lures and feed lots somewhat extend
ed SO that the crows have abundant
opportunity to walk over the ground
where the hogs feed. They are near
" always there and they are just as
likely to visit yards where hogs have
cholcr9, 80 they might easily carry the
diseaAe.
Whist I write to suggest Is chat you

spaln's Pieeonhoie Cemeteries.

A rather ~curious-and to Il ideas
somewhat unpleasing-custom obtains
in Spanish cemeteries. All around the
burying-ground a building is erected
whose design can only be compared
to that OF a nest Of pigeon holes, often
seen In post offices and similar insti.
tutions. Each pigeonhole is a tomb.
When a person dies his relatives hire
a pigeonhole for five years. and the
remains are placed inside. The end Is
then sealed up with mortar and a
memorial tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease of the pigeonhol may be re.
newed at the end OF the five years. but
IL 1t is allowed to expire the tomb Is
unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant. Need.
less to say, the plan has some good
points. The space taken by the pig.
eonhole cemetery Is comparatively
small. al Is the cost OF burial. Pic.
turesqueness Is. however. c~onpicuous.
" absent; nor is sentimental grief
catered to, as It would be impossible
to 80 and mourn at the grave Of q per.
son buried in q pigeonhole SO high up
that q ladder was needed to reach It.
To such as prefer the old,fashioned
graves the central space Of the ground
Is offered. but the ~pigeonholes are the
most popular.-The Wide World.

become very shy and those not killed
if everyone were shooting ut them.
The damage they do to corn when It
first comes UP in the spring is constd-
cradle, but now the danger of their
carrying hog cholera Is the Worst
count against them. In talking with
neighbCrs the general opinion has
been that q state bounty would be the
best way to meet the annual danger.
Thanking you In advance for any
thing you may see fit to do for the
pork producers Of South Dakota, and
hoping your efforts may be crowned
with success, l remain, etc.
Reply by Professor Wilson:
I agree with you in your statements.
! would include also the barnyard
pigeon that flies for miles daily, and
the sparrow which / think is also y
migratory bird. Most states have laws
protecting these insectiyorous birds.
and the only question in my mind Is
whether the crow does more harm than
he does good. was raised among tie
tlO"5 anu kHON lHcH iaul.o d "Sli .
you describe them. l have watched
them dig up corn a. it was planted.
and what puzzled me most was how
these birds know where to dig. |
have seer them dig the corn up after
it was through the ground in order to
get the kernel.
OF course. hog cholera, being a germ
disease, can be carried on the feet OF
birds and animals. A neighbor who
has hcg cholera in his herd is a poor
neighbor if he walks onto my place
without changing his shoes.

SECOND WEEK OF DE-
GENDER.

The Sphinx County Farmers 1nsti-

ty Farm Improvement association are
cooperating in holding a short course
and agricultural roundup at Redfield.
South Dakota, the second week In
December, dates S-13 inclusive.
In addition to the regular institute

Of the state college for lectures dur
ing week. As a special attraction,
Prof. N. E. Chapman, OF the Agricul-
tural College of Minnesota, has been
procured for a couple of lectures and
demonstrations on poultry. He will
tell how to make the hens lay, the
eggs hatch, and all the ms and outs
of the poultry business.
To give extra interest to this meet

will be held in connection with It.
Liberal premiums will be offered on

SCRATCHING ALFALFA FEED
TO AID termination

lege, Bookings, S. D.
J.. A. S. of Brule county, makes the
following inquiry:
Can you tell me where and at what
price the Preparation Machine, men.
toned in Bulletin 1873 (Alfalfa as a
Field Crop in South Dakota) can be
secured?"
me, in which you asked about a So
called Preparation, a cut of which is
shown on the back OF Bulletin 1873.
This particular machine was not
made In America and I think no
American company has ever attempt
Our purpose in using the machine and
describing it in Bulletin 1873 was not
so much for the sake of the practical
make of the machine, although 1t is
or less satisfactory, but rather
to direct attention to the fact that the
legumes. such as alfalfas, possess
seeds with hard coats. We desired to
furnish some information. further, to
show that the scratching of such seed
coats would probably solve the prob.
.em of increasing their terminating
ability.
Unless some American manufactur.
.r shall undertake to make some kind
Of scratching machine. exactly STINT.
lar or somewhat like the preparation.
the best plan for the present may BIZ
to rub the seeds between two layers OF
sand paper. This can be done more
rapidly than might seem at first by
lacking a large piece OF sand paper to
a fiat table and then by rubbing it Off
into a sack of other receptacle with a
board having a second piece of sand
PAPER tackled over 1t. Such an opera.
ton scratches the seed coats slightly
and accomplishes much the same pur.
pose as is accomplished by running
the seeds through the so-called Pre-.
parator. Moreover, 1t is altogether
practicable for small alfalfa growers
and farmers to treat the quantity OF
seed which they may want to use in
such a manner !.
Another method for treating alfalfa
and sweet clover seed. which has been
found successful, is to soak it for 30
minutes In concentrated sulphuric
acid. This plan has been especially
described In a bulletin of the New
York, Cornell Experiment Station. 1t
consists merely in being sure that the
seeds are immersed for one-half hour
or a little less in any receptacle con.
tanning concentrated sulphuric acid.
Obviously, such acid must be handled
in a glass Of earthenware receptacle
or at least in some material which
will not be Immediately acted upon by
the acid. Moreover. %sulphuric acid
must be handled with care. 1t will
ruin clothing and W q small amount
Of it may cause a painful burn. It
cannot be used too cautiously around
children and stock.

A GOOD COUNTRY FAIR SYSTEM.
Bv PROF. j. w. WILSON,
Brookinoe, S. o..

1t has been our pleasure to become
acquainted with the management OF
various county fairs. Primarily these
furnish a place where the farmers OF
the county could bring their products
and ompare notes, and, If necessary.
exchange seed. However, some of u
associations have broken away from
this idea and in place are operating
along other lines.
One fair in particular ! desire to
mention, where the management has
succeeded in making it a success, and
that fair is the Clark County Fair. All
exhibits must be from Clark county.
All race horses must come from Clark
county. No high kickers or shows OF
any kind were OF the grounds. I
never saw as much interest taken In
any horse-racing as there was at this
fair. Each fellow drove his "
