Do not keep pigeons or allow them
to alight on your premises.
Keep away crews and buzzaTrns.
Quarantine all new hogs brought 20
your place until you are sure they
are free of diseases.
Do not allow patent-medicine man
on your place, for you do not know
how recently he has visited sick

Disinfect your wagon and your own
shoes and clothes after hauling hogs
to stock yards or railroad loading
pens.
Avoid every possible way OF carry
ing infection to your hogs.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" is an old saying
but in this case It is everything.
Cause Of Disease.
Hog cholera is caused BY germ
that exists in the blood. II is an or
ganism apparently so small that the
most powerful microscopes do net
show it. However, 1t is easy 70 DEM
onstrate its presence by inoculating
a small part of the blood from sick
hog into a well one. which produces
the hog cholera.
Hog cholera Is a disease which
seems TO be stopped TO a degree by
the frosts of winter. although frost
cannot be said to stop a case after
It has taken hold of its victims. How
ever, II seems to prevent the rapid
spread OF the disease. The result Is
that in spring time the affection IL
as a rule at the lowest ebb, but In
creases rapidly from that time until
fall.
Hog cholera does not seem to affect
any particular breed of hogs more
than another, but generally the
careless farmer Is more apt to have
the disease among his hogs than the
careful one.
The fact that hog cholera Is
carried not only by hogs them-
selves, but by birds. dogs. streams
and even on the feet Of men going
from one farm to another. shows how
necessary It Is that the campaign Tor
eradication of the disease be thorou11
aud that farmers exert their M
efforts to assist In tbs work.

Those who are familiar with the de-
iightful old, brownstone houses of the
Dutch settlers in the northern coun-
ties of New jersey will have little

agreeable feeling that there s ample

good rule to follow. The hydrangea

back severely in the early spring, as
its buds form on the new growth and
bloom late in the season.
Sow early celery seed in flats" to
be transplanted to hotbed and later
to cold frame for early garden crop.
Early self blanching is an excellent
variety.
Make some cold-frames. They
should be made to hold window sash

desired length. No manure is needed,
as the heat from the sun through the
glass is sufficient later in the spring.

Even if you have only an acre or
two of land or even smaller plot
you can, by practising some intensive
methods of culture, get a large supply
of stone-fruits, such as cherries,
plums, apricots, peaches, also cur
rants, gooseberries, ETC.. for family
use. The fruit need cost but little
more than your own labor.
The owner Of the small suburban or
village lot will not wish to plant many
apple trees, except the dwarfs, for
their large growth precludes any
other use of the ground. Plums and
cherries, making smaller growth, do
not prevent the successful culture OF
some combination crops. For in
stance, a very good place for the
strawberry bed. also the raspberries,
blackberries, currants and gooseber-
ries, is between the rows of dwarf
trees and trees which bear stone
fruits. There are other ways of util-
izing small areas for getting the fam
lily supply of fruit with little work.
One is to set a few plum trees In
the poultry yard and occasionally jar
the trees, so that the curculio will
fall off for the chickens to eat.
You will want mostly the European
plums that are Of the high-quality
dessert class for family use. the
green gage family is best, and the
finest of these Is the Refine Claude.
If these dessert plums were reliable
bearers you should plant no other
kind. for they are best for canning,
but there are others that can be de-
pended upon for large crops OF plums
of fair quality, and perhaps the best
of these are the Damsons, Bradshaw.

If you are In the peach belt you
will want to grow some sweet cher
ries for the family; Windsor and
Napoleon are as good as any. II you
are not in the peach belt, plant only
the sour cherries. Montmorency ana
English Morello are sufficient. Inc
Champion peach Is one OF the best
for YOU to plant, as 1t is of finest
quality. early and hardy. The high
est elevation and the driest portion
of your place is best for your trees
They will grow more healthy and live
longer on rather light and not over
rich soil, but will do very well on any
well-drained available land. Soil that
is sufficiently rich to grow a fair crop
of corn is about right for your trees
Plant them when you are ready and
fertilize afterward, according to the
needs of the crop you grow between
the trees. Pillow, harrow and furrow
deeply about twenty feet apart Tor
the above-named trees. You can
plant any time before the leaves get
much of a start.
II you do not care to plant other
crops among the trees, for intensive
culture fifteen feet apart each way
is advised. 1t is better to grow some
crop between the trees and to keep
the soil well titled and fertilized. Inc
crops to grow are the ones the ramlly
desire. whether they be vegetables or
small fruits.

In the dining room there is a plate
rail, ten inches wide. Under the
plate rail and built in the chimney,
which conveys the smoke from the
heater in the cellar and the kitchen
range, is a china closet with glazed
doors. The interior walls and ceilings
throughout the house are papered,
and the trim is stained with asphalt
tum, giving it rich, brown tone.
In the principal bedroom there is
second fireplace that adds to the
attractiveness of that room.
The floors throughout are of North
Carolina pine, while the trim is of
cypress. There is one bath, a laun-
dry in the cellar, a hot and cold water
supply and the house is lighted with
electricity. The electric fixtures are
in old brass, square tubing.

condition are the haphazard methods

seems to be just right for gooseber-
ries, especially the English va
rieties. Currants also thrive
fairly well In partial shade,
and the Cherry and White
grape are the best table currants.
Cuthbert and Golden Queen raspber-
ries, which are the best of the reds
and yellows for the family fruit gar
den, will do well in a little block of
plum trees. Both the trees and rasp-
berries make good growth. There is
no reason why just as good straw
berries cannot be grown between
trees that bear stone-fruits and the
dwarf apples and pears as elsewhere,
for the first five or six years after
planting the trees. The roots of the
trees, up to that age, do not inter-

the hands for a few minutes before
putting them into the horses mouth
on cold mornings. 1t is a good plan
to have the horses teeth examined
now, as the animal may suffer severe
ly from toothache in the winter time,
this being a frequent cause of rest
lessness and boiling.
Don't forget to provide salt for
both the COW and the horse. There
are devices on sale by means of
which cake of salt may be attached
to the side of the stall and kept
clean.
Be sure that the horse is sharp
shod before driving him over icy
roads A neglect of this precaution
may result in running a good animal.
When the horse comes into the
stable after being driven over muddy
roads, the legs and hoofs should be
carefully cleaned
Provide an abundance of bedding

If the family COW is kept in a cold

as well as the horse.

fere with the growth of the straw
berries, and the trees grow better be-
cause of the culture of the straw
berries between them.
Between the trees is a good place
to grow nearly all the garden vege-
tables, also potatoes and sweet corn.
In some way, keep the space between
the trees cultivated UP to the time
they come into full bearing; then, if
you have no permanent crops between
them, as bush fruits, continue to cul-
tiyate the trees alone. and fertilize by
sowing cover crops between them

Lime may be applied after blowing

the fall, to be followed by the spring

THE POPULAR SYMPATHY.

Judging from the tone of the public
press, the sympathIes of the American
people are with England, France and
Russia in the present war in Ersope, but
this does not mean that the people OF
this country are ,prejudlced against the
Geamans. The feeling is rather against
the war itself and Emperor William is
blamed for the war. While the war was
begun by and between Austria and
Servla, it lis thoroughly believed that If
Emperor William had used his personal
power that the war could have been pre-
vented. Austria is a great nation and
Servia is small country, and in such
cases the trend of popular opinion goes
to the weaker party.
So far as England is concerned the
feeling is that England did its best to
prevent war and that when Belgium
was invaded by Germany, it was COM
PEELED in honor as we'll as by treaty to
defend TINT country's neutrality.
As to France, the whole world has a :
ways felt that Alsace-Lorraine was a
case OF pure robbery by Germany from
France in an hour of temporary weak.
ness while the seizure of tue Danish
provinces of Schleswig- Holstein was a
similar lawless proceeding. These acts
have been accepted by the world as
significant of the aims and seIfishness of
the German monarchies for the last fifty
years.
AS to Russia and Austria they are no
better and havs been taking what they
could get without much regard to right
or wrong for century. Russia however,
made friend Of the United States dur.
ing the civil war. which friendship has
always remained.
We are not arguing for or against any
of these countries, but only speaking of
some of the facts which are the causes of
the present sympathies Of our people.
But 20 far as we have been able to
read, there is no feeling against the peo-
pie Of these warning nations. We have
too many Thousands Of good German
American citizens living among US to be
prejudiced against the German people;
and this 10 also true Of the thousands Of
