Advice to Potato Growers

Washington, April 3.-This is the
season Of the year when the farmer
should pay particular attention to seed
potatoes, cautions the department of
agriculture, and the use of high grade
seed would increase the returns by
many millions of dollars.
A conservative estimate of the in
crease that might be expected from
the use of high grade seed is certainly
not less than 10 per cent. Such an
increase based on the average pro-
duction of the past five years would
amount to over 81, OO0, 900 bushels, hav-
ing an approximate value of $21, 000,-
coo. OF the many causes which oper-
ate to produce a low average potato
yield in this country, pure seed is an
important one. The American potato
grower pays too little attention to his
seed potatoes.

Import Argentine Corn

Chicago, April A report vas cir
culated in grain circles here today
that Argentine corn in large quanti-
ties would soon be put on the Chica-
go market for the first time. Local
elevator men are credited in the re-
port with having negotiated for the
purchase of 100000 bushels of it, the
shipment to start before April Is.
There was much discussion of the
probable effect.
The shipments would take an all.
water route to Chicago, coming by
way of Great Lakes, in time for de.
livery on May contracts here.
Although Argentine corn is no nov.
city at ports on the Atlantic and the
gulf, the bringing of it to Chicago
would be almost as much of a revolu.
tion in traffic as the celebrated carry.
ing of Goals to Newcastle.

Explains EStray Law

Helena, April 3.-No authority in
the law is given to stock inspectors
to take into their possession cattle
which have come into the hands of
ranchmen or farmers as t~respassers
and which they are holding under the
provisions of sections 2091 and S805,
Attorney General E. M. Kelly advises
D. w. Raymond, secretary Of the state
board of stock commissioners.
"Their jurisdiction in the matter
he says, would only go so far as to
Investigate the question of whether a
larceny of livestock had been commit.
ted. This would not give them au.
thority to take possession Of the ami
NAL, however, or to ship it as an es'
tray. Section 1920, which refers to
the shipment Of estray cattle, deals
only with stray cattle found in herds
belonging to other shippers or round
up associations at the time the ship
ment was to take place."

Mr.. McGaughey says most of the

ties OF Sheridan, Valley, Hill, Blaine
II Cloutaau, where good lands are
still open for settlement. Few of the
new corners are going into Fergus or
other counties along the line of the

cally all the good land available has
been taken.
Mr.. McGaugley says the Great

now has seven exhibit cars touring

Made Millions In Lumber

Pasadena, CAL, April 4.-Frederick
w. Weyerhaeuser, the multi-million-
aire Minnesota lumberman, died to-
day at his winter home at Oak Knoll,
aged 70. Mr.. Weyerhaeuser was
stricken ten days ago with a severe
cold. Threatening symptoms devel-
oped and several times he sunk to the
verge Of death. but rallied and yester-
day appeared to be all but recovered.
Weyehaeuser's climb to wealth was
only discovered by the people of the
nation when it had become a ques-
tons as to whether he was richer than
John D. Rockefeller. The exact amount
of his riches is not known. He start
60 in the lumber business at Rock
Island, ILL.,, in the early COS.
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser dominated the
lumber industry in the United States
during the years prior to the doctrine
of conservation of national resources.
Weyerhaeuser acquired some of the
largest and most valuable timber and
mineral holdings in northern Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. In the
last 20 years his interests increased
SO rapidly that ven bankers close tc
him in a business way were unable
to keep track of his vast holdings. He
entered the Pacific coast field and the
Southern lumber field on a scale that
made wealthy me- gasp. The organi.
cation of $4,000, 900 and $4,000, OO0
Ger to handle individual timber
and mineral products became com
monplace. Only an executors ap'
praisement can accurately total his
wealth.

Foreign Nations viii Exhibit

Washington, April 6.-To date
t~wenty-nine foreign governments had
signifed their intention of participat-

countries which heretofore have been
liberal exhibitors at expositions,
namely, Great Britain and Germany,

if the governments of these two coun.
tries do not relent at the last moment
and recall their destinations, there
will be thousands of British and Ger

Guard Against Hog Cholera

1t is not at all unlikely that in 1914
hog cholera will be prevalent in every
county in the state and that the total
loss will be enormous. II the owner
is prompt to recognize cholera, and
equally prompt to take action, his loss
will be nominal. The hog raiser must
recognize these two facts:
THAT if hogs are dying from an
apparently contagious disease the
chances are one hundred to one that
they have cholera.
2.-That reliable hog cholera serum
administered to healthy hogs will alb
solutely prevent cholera.
thousands of hogs die each year Ee-
aus their owners have heea led to
believe that contagious pneumonia"
or "hog influenza" or "hog typhoid" or
some other imaginary DISEASE is thu
cause of death. Pay no attention to
such advice. Hog cholera kills a
thousand to every one killed by any
other disease, and we could almost
make the statement that cholera is
the only contagious disease in Mon
tana.
The state experiment station at
Bozeman has published a circular on
hog cholera, giving the symptoms.
methods of controlling an epidemic of
cholera, how to administer serum, etc.,
which will be mailed free on applica-
ton. The station also keeps a supply
of serum for emergency cases.
If hog raisers this year will prompt
ly report hog cholera cases to the
state veterinarian at Helena or the
experiment station at BOzeman, and
avail themselves Of the aid and advice
the state stands ready to give, it is
entirely possible to keep the losses
for 1914 down to a low figure.
Look over your hogs regularly. If
any are loft their feed" take them
out of the herd at once and watch
them closely. II they do not recover
soon, and others get sick, treat the
whole herd with serum at once. Keep
posted on the health of your neigh
bors' hogs, for hog cholera in a farm
ing community is "e%verybody's bust.
ness" and remember that there is no
cure for hog cholera and no proven
tative except hog cholera serum.-Dr.
