GERMS OF CHOLERA
ALWAYS ACTIVE IN
SYSTEMS OF HOGS

1t Is not an uncommon occurance
to hear some farmer take the stand
that hog cholera is not a contagious
germ disease, but disease of the di-
gestive tract, brought on by improper
feeding. An argument offered to back
up the statement is that cholera is
usually most prevalent in the early
fall soon after hogs are put on a
ration of new corn.
Scientific investigation has long
since proved that cholera is caused by
germ life. However, feeding and care
play an important part in the degree
to which animals may be susceptible
to the disease. 1t might be safely
stated that the germs of animal dis
eases are nearly always present where
animals are kept in large numbers,
just as the disease germs of many
contagious Affections are constantly
present in the human system. When
the protective influences which nature
has provided to resist bacterial inva-
sion Of the vital organs become brok-
en- down from any cause, germ life
is always ready to grasp the oppor-
tunity to gain control.
In Constant Danger.
Hog cholera has become so wide
spread in recent years that there is
constant danger of an outbreak. When
the animals get off their feed for any
cause or become exposed to cold and
damp, the blood becomes sluggish, the
germs enter the system and the dam
age is done
The feeding of new corn may really
become factor in causing an out
break of cholera, if the hogs are at
once put on full feed. During the
summer many herds are allowed to
run on pasture, with very little sup
Elemental feed. AS soon as the new
corn is ready feeders begin to crowd
the grain to them with the result that
the entire herd is thrown off their
feed At this point if cholera germs
are present it is an easy matter for
the disease to gain a foothold and
many animals may be lost.
Healthy animals are naturally resist
ant to disease, and an important step
in disease prevention is to maintain
this good health. Much loss at this
season of the year may be avoided by
putting the animals on full feed grad
ually.

STUDY STALKS
IN SELECTING
CORN FOR SEED
Farmers Find Many Consid.
erations Necessary to Sc.
cure Good Results in Fol.
lowing Years Crop.

In the next two weeks, farmers who
expect to gather their seed corn early
from the stalks, will do we'll to make
preliminary examination of the field
FARMERS who make a practise of Sc
lecting seed in this manner, have
found that it pays to spend consider
able time in the field before harvest
ing time.
Corn breeders have long since
learned that the ear does not always
determine the characteristics of the
following crop, and that consideration
must be taken of the whole plant. The
type of the stalk is most important in
selecting the seed from the field, and
attention must be paid to the hang of
the ear and it's size.
1t is desirable to select ears from
large strong stalks, of good average
height, say seven to nine feet. Such
stalks should be thick, and strongly
rooted, and carry a thick foliage of
long, wide blades. More attention is
being paid each season to the forage
properties of the corn plant, owing
to the increased consumption of silage
and shredded fodder. 1t is we'll
known fact that ears selected from
such stalks will in part at least, repro
duce the characteristics of the parent
plant.
Should Point Down.
The ear should hang on the stalk at
convenient height for the huskers to
reach without effort. Instead of stand
ing in an erect position, the ear should
point downward when mature, bend
ing abruptly from the shank. To the
casual observer, this might seem to
be a point Of little Importance, but
such is not the case. Nature has COW
cred the ear with hVsks to protect the
germ life within from moisture and
early frosts. When the ears are point
ing down, rain and dew run off with
out causing any damage, but when
the ear stands erect, some of this
moisture may penetrate inside the pro
tective layer of husks causing rot and
mold to form. Another result is that
the accumulated moisture, retards the
maturing of the ears, and an early
freeze may injure the grain very Sc
riously.
Following the knowledge that like
produces like corn breeders, by select

AS the corn begins to show signs of
maturing. it will prove profitable to 20
through the seed plot and mark stalks
that meet the requirements. Then as
soon as the ears are ripe enough thew
can be gathered quickly In this local
1ty it is desirable to gather the seed

UNLESS Edgar 1liff brings about

the way Alfred Bavis, president of
the board of works responded to an
article written by Mr.. Iliff yesterday
relative to the West Richmond dump
situation.

of issuing bonds to the amount of
$35. 900 to buy that dump. If we had

Mr.. Bavis said that he knows that
nine-tenths of the citizens of Rich
mond are upholding the administration
in refusing to issue the bonds and
raise taxes, and that the same people
would bitterly fight any attempt to do
this.
II believe they should be given the

make that a point of the election in
November. We can put special bal
lots in Richmond, and citizens can
vote on the bond issue. If they want
it and the higher taxes which will be
a consequence, it would then be on
their own responsibility"
