CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
IN THE NORTHWEST
Where Disease Has Not Yet Ap.
peared It Is Possible to Pre-
vent Its Introduction.
(By J. W. KALKUS. Washington Expert.
ment Station.)

By J. W. KALKUS. Washington Expert.
ment Station)
During the last year there has been
a comparatively large number Of hog
cholera outbreaks in the northwest.
The condition. of course, will continue
to increase unless every hog owner
does his utmost to suppress 1t. Where
the disease has not yet occurred it is
possible to prevent Its introduction.
The disease is due to infection, and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
infected regions being added to the
herd; the infection may also be car
ried on the clothing Of human beings,
by birds, dogs, coyotes and in streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that the hogs begin dying
suddenly and rapidly.
When an outbreak occurs 1t is we'll
to Immediately call veterinarian, pre-
ferably one who is employed for this
purpose by the state. II the disease
proves to be cholera 1t is advisable to
Immediately separate the well hogs
from the sick ones, and isolate them as
completely as possible. All carcasses
should be burned or deeply buried and
covered with quicklime. All pens,
houses. utensils and feeding troughs
should be thoroughly disinfected with
one part crude carbolic acid to thirty
parts Of water.
There is at the present time on the
market a serum which, II properly
made and injected. saves large per-
centage of both the well and sick hogs.
and II the serum can be obtained it is
highly recommended. 1t should be
administered by competent veteri-
marian.

acres were planted In q special plat
for seed. to be used for the main
crop the following year. This plan was
followed for u years with q potato
which it was said would degenerate
and ultimately run out; but that po-
tato continued to improve during all
that time.
Several years ago Prof. E. R. Ben.
nett. a specialist in potato work. be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success in potato pfoduc-
ton: but he wanted to take up and
further improve the stock. Out OF
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and planted them in q
field by themselves. and when the po-
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all of them by hand and kept the
product Of each hill separate. All
hills that did not have 20 tubers Of
uniform size. without knob. crack, or
rough end. were discarded. No hill
was selected unless it came within
these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how
ever. to make about two hundred
pounds. and these we're planted the
following spring. When harvested it
was q most marvellous row OF pota-
toes. BY pursuing this method it is
expected that we will soon have a
potato that will make rs perfect tu-
bers to the hill.
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
as we have been in the habit Of Sc
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes. we would now have no breed Of
Shorthorns. II we used only the culls
and scrubs to breed from, our breeds
Of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles Of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen.
Grated In the past is that the potato
growers Of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings un-
der the erroneous impression that
such methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes In the field,
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance of the top.
A large. perfect top, with several
stems OF good shape and size, can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under 1t. and Of more uniform quail
ity and size. than a hill with single
stalk or one with small weak ones.

iae natural home Of the potato is
the mountain valleys Of South Amer
aca- Where natural conditions are fa-
vorable for the growth of q plant,
there 1t win reach the highest degree
of perfection. In the mountain valleys
of parts Of the West are found con-
ditions Of altitude. soil and moisture
naturally favorable to the growth of
the potato, with an almost entire alb.
sence OF harmful freezes and bac-
terra enemies.
In providing suitable soil for DO
tatoes, the question naturally arises,
How shall We perfect and husband
fertility! Live stock is the real basis
Of success in avery agricultural dis.
trict in the wsrld. The feeding Of
Erains and grasses on the farm re-
places In the soil the vegetable matter
which produces the humus and fur
nishes the nitrogen that keeps up the
fertility Of the soil. 1t is utterly i'm
possible to grow good potatoes with
out an open, porous soil.
Nothing but the legumes-alfalfa or
clever are good-should be used as a
Foundation crop. The writer grows
alfalfa or clover-sometimes both
frr three or four years previous to a
pstato crop. The soil is broken up
IN the fall quite deep. Fall plowing
is beneficial for the reason that It
puts the soil in better condition to re-
ceive and store heat from the rays
Of the sun than spring plowing. In the
spring the soil should be worked over
with q disk Of q spring toothed har.
row until 1t is thoroughly fined. It Is
very importan, that the soil be well
fined and firm ed In order that the
root system of the young plant may
be able to secure plant food as quick.
ly as possible.
OF all the factors in potato growing
seed selection is by far the most i'm
portant. Some years ago the writer
undertook to improve and develop q
potato along the same lines that he
follows in improving his Shropshire
sheep and Shorthorn cattle. using the
best method OF selection and giving
the seed plat the best possible culti
vatitn and care in order to obtain uni

Amount Of Feed.

A COW should have enough feed to
satisfy her appetite, the proportion Of
coarse feed to grain being adjusted to
her actual needs. In q general way,
roughage should be fed according to
her size, allowing two pounds hay per
100 pounds weight. when hay is the
only roughage fed. When silage is
used, feed one pound hay and three
pounds alage for 100 pounds weight,
and the balance Of needed feed should
be supplied in concentrates. Roots
may be fed for grain at the rate Of
ten pounds of one.

Decorative Motifs
For Hand Embroidery

FASHION has devised any number OF
II effective decorations for the present
STYLE Of clothes, which may be done
quickly with hand embroidery, giving an
exclusive and individual appearance to
otherwise simple and plain dresses. Two
such suitable motifs for introducing
slight bit of color, or merely design on
crepe or ratine fabrics are shown on TINS
page. No. 1850 is single rose motif
from large design intended for a bureau
scarf or table runner. The rose in half
this size, as well as large may be used
in the corner of soft turnover collars;
for sash or scarf ends; and may be re-
peated at some distance, to make vest
and sleeve ends of blouse. The outline
and running stitches are combined, with
only few solid dots of embroidery in the
middle of the conventional flower.
The other motif, (1446S) is a wild
carrot blossom, with seed stitches, and
| loops for the graceful leaves. Coarse
mercerized floss or silk may be used, as
preferred.
Prune SoufNe
Wash, soak and cook one-half pound
of prunes. Drain and cut into small
pieces. To the beaten yolk OF four eggs
add three tablespoonful of powdered
sugar, flavor with vanilla and add the

THE ONLY SOLUTION. {

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. ....s #...-, ri
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otner things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. l
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries, nor do sympa-
q .
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
Velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human.

balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward 1t.

JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES.

The Detroit Informer comes out in
defense of President Wilson and
thinks that the Anti-Segregation Dele
cation which presented a monster
petition bearing the signatures of TO-
600 Afro-Americans acted hastily.
The 1nformer further says that
there 'are other questions of more
Importance pending engrossing his
(ther President's) attention than the
appointment of members of the race
to Office ........-... -.
THE APPEAL believes that it is al
ways right to protest against wrong
and injustice and the time to protest
is when the wrongs and injustices are
being perpetrated. The President is
the head of the Nation and he does
not need the assistance of single per-
son to stop segregation. It would not
matter if every member of Congress
objected to his decision, single word
from him would stop it instantly.
THE APPEAL has read the petit
ton, Mr.. Trotter's speech as chairman
of the delegation, and all the matter
pertaining to the petition and there is
not one word about the appointment
OF Afro-Americans to Office The OBJ
ject of. the petition is to end a con.
dition Of affairs which is a disgrace
to country which calls itself a Chris
tian democracy. ~..&
The Informer seems to be very
much worried about appointment to
office but that is of little consequence
in comparison to the greater question
whether caste is to be introduced into
this country and if Afro-Americans are
to be appointed to Office with the un-
derstanding that they are to segregate
their employees THE APPEAL does
not hesitate to say that colored man
who would accept any appointment
with such conditions attached would
be lower than the vilest reptile that
crawls upon the earth.
1t is of course proper then that
President Wilson should give the
Afro-American representation in presi-
Dental offices and that matter should
be taken up later, but the matter now
IN hand is segregation and that is the
matter to be handled first.

ton of inequality and wrong are fight
