Beware Hog Cholera Cures.

Beware Hog Cholera Cures.
That there is not remedy known
which will cure cholera in sick hogs is
the opinion expressed by DR.. F. B.
Hadley in circular, Hog Cholera,
Questions and Answers" just publish
ed by the Agricultural Experiment
station of the University of Wisconsin.
Many, if not all, of such remedies on
the market today have been carefully
tested by one or more experiment sta
lions with the result that their use is
not being recommended.
1.-The favorable results which some
times follow the use of these patent
medicines or cures" says DR.. Hadley,
'should be attributed to the natural
immunity of the animals rather than to
any curative effect of the remedy"
Very many of the important ques
tons about hog cholera are answered
in this new circular, copies of which
residents of the state may obtain by
applying to the director Of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Madison.

Tonight is the regular night for the
u. G. T. entertainment, and h COM
mittee in charge has planned a Wash

ing hum-drum about it.
The hall is being nicely decorated
with flags and f%estoons, with pictures
of George Washington hung at inter-
walls on the walls. One of the pictures

exhibit there IL a great design OF the
seal Of the state agricultural college
done in the colored grains Of corn
| wheat, millet, fax and clover. The de-
sign shows a, setting sun behind a pillow
and an anvil with the" motto at the
top. Practice with Science" This mot
to seems to be the real idea sought in
North Dakota. The state experiment
stations are holding farming institutes
wherever a group of farmers "a be
gathered together, and with charts and
letureS they are showing the farmers
how to put the farm on a bookkeeping
basis. ~; ~ a, ~,

To the farmer who has been in the
habit of keeping books on his, farm
production by the old familiar system,
that All get is mine and when / have
spent 1t I lam broke. will be interested
to- see that the charts that have been
worked out in North Dakota show him
how to figure the rem value of the
land, the depreciation on tools, cost OF
horses, feed tools, interest and Incl
dentals SO that the farmer will know
what he has made at the end Of the
year and not guess at it, 49,
One chart shows the cost of produc-
ing a bushel Of wheat on the demon
Stratton farms for the eight years from
1905 to 1913. Thea highest cost per
bushel was SEC in 1910, and the lowest
was 36c in 1912. The average cost was
53c. The highest price per bushel was
received in 1909, when the price Of 93c
recalls the operations of Patten in the
wheat market. The low mark was Csc
in 1905. The profit per bushel was 47c
in 1908 and &c in 1910. The average
profit per bushel for the eight years
was 28c. -.
Another chart shows that unless a
certain number Of bushels per acre is
raised that the farmer loses money. In
the eight years on the state farms the
average acre yield of wheat to pay the
bare cost Of operation was 1927 BUSH
els. It Is oncluded then that In North
Dakota a farmer must raise eleven
bushels per acre to come out even at
the years end.
In North Dakota the ground is froz-
en- the first Of November, and remains
in old storage until the first Of April.
The amount of water that is retained
in the soil at the time 1t goes into win
ter storage determines the crop yield
the following eason This is proven
by charts that have been kept for the
last eight years. These and many 9th
er scientifically proven facts about
North Dakota are enabling the North
Dakota farmer to make his state "the
first wheat state, the third barley
state and the state which produces
about one-half Of the fax Of the Unit
ed. States.

orously to fill Wilson's shoes in a day
when the political epithet is almost as
extinct as the dodo.
Moreover, the peacefulness OF

He would see republicans and demo
Gratis playing billiards together, and
the wives Of progressives and repub-
licans shaking hands across the horrid
chasm at tea. That is a great change
from the days when the republicans
loaded up with a brick before discuss
ing politics with a federalist, and a
federalist whose daughter married a
republican referred to her with cold
ness as one lost forever
Washington would be very much
interested in the experiment Of allow
ing the common people to vote for
president. We believe his progressive
ness would lead him to view this with
| favor. In his day the legislatures
took care of the election Of presidents,
and if q plain bricklayer with dust on
| his neck had insisted on being given
a ballot he would have been run in
for disorderly conduct. Moreover.
the indignation Of the country over
the fact hat a little body of about
| fifty men insisted on nominating a
president about w years ago would
have surprised him very much. In
| Washington'S time presidents 5 were
nominated even more informally than
this. When q. bunch of congressman
had an afternoon off in the spring OF
the campaign year they stepped
around t., a tavern and chose a re-
liable man who would, be able to har-
monte all factions and make the
proper appointments.
In Washington's time almost every
one loved his country, but the. netgnbor
across the way had to shift largely
for himself. If he was a black mar,
he could whisper his wrongs into the
rain barrel and get the only available
answer. II he was a poor man. he
