ANTI-H0G CHOLERA
SERUM TO FARMERS
Department of Agriculture Been
Endeavoring for Years to Pre-
vent Spread of Disease.

The United States department of
agriculture has been engaged contin-
uously for more than 25 years in en-
deavoring to discover some method CT
preventing or curing hog cholera AS
Is now quite generally known. these
experiments of the department finally
resulted in the discovery Of a serum
that will prevent the disease when
properly prepared and administered.
The results Of these experiments of
the department Of agriculture were
brought to the attention Of the author
tiles in all Of the states. and as re-
suit approximately 80 different states
are engaged in the distribution Of anti
hog-cholera serum to farmers.
This work has undoubtedly resulted
in a great saving to the indigidual
farmer, but it has not resulted Ia the
eradication or noticeable diminution
Of the disease in the country as a
whole. The department of agricul-
ture believes that with this serum to
use as a basis, countrywide cam
paign, looking to the elimination or
control Of hog cholera should be un-
dertaken. Congress has recognized
the importance OF such work by an
appropriation Of $4,000. This appro-
priation authorizes the department Of
agriculture to demonstrate tho best
methods Of controlling hog cholera
and the work thus authorized has al
ready begun, although. owing to the
small amount of money available. 1t Is
necessarily restricted to few local
tiles.

WHEN BUYING SILK STOCKINGS
Easy for Purchaser to Assure Herself
She is Getting Real Article I'M
ttations on the Market

There IS no doubt about silk stock
ings being the chosen hosiery Of the
well dressed woman. The wise shop
keeper, however. selects a good quail
ity of Silk stockings, for she knows
we'll that cheap grade cannot wear
any length OF time. Among the cheap
grades of silk stockings there are
many which are not really silk at ais
tussah silk, spun silk and even wood
fiber, for instance. being sold under
the stamp of pure silk. One can dis
tinguish stockings of wood fiber by a
hard feeling in the stockings, as If
they had been knitted from a tightly
twisted yarn.
Vegetable silk is made from wood
tiber or from raw cotton. Artificial
or vegetable silk burns like cotton
that is, with practically no ash
while silk resembles the wool fiber,
boiling up or bubbling, forming a
Iumpy sort and giving forth the odor
of burned hair. BY pulling few
threads from the top Of a stocking,
one can determine whether she is re-
ceiving the silk she Is paying for or
cheap substitute.

Millet Hay Not a Safe Feed.

AS a result of extensive investiga-
tions, the North Dakota experiment
station decided that millet hay when
used entirely as coarse feed Is in
furious tu horses. 1t produces an In
creased action of the kidneys, causes
lameness and swelling of the joints.
produces an infusion of blood into the
joints, and destroys the texture of the
bone, rendering it softer and less te-
pacious so that traction causes the

Panama.-Complete reorganization
of the subsistence and commissary de-
partments in the Canal Zone, with
Capt. Frank o. Whitlock. United
States Cavalry, in charge, was begun
Monday, after Col. George w. Goethals,
chairman of the Panama Canal Com
mission, had suspended John Burke,
manager of the commissary depart
ment, and w. F. Shipley, chief clerk
of the subsistence department, and
had relieved from duty Lieut.. Col.
Eugene T. Wilson, chief of the sub
sistence department, at his own re-
quest. Both departments will be
placed on a permanent organization
basis Immediately, and as result
many clerks will be dismissed.
Colonel Goethals took action against
these officials on the receipt of the
report of Special Agent Nye, who had
investigated the charges against
Burke that he had accepted gratuities
in connection with the purchase Of
supplies. Colonel Goethels declared
that the investigation would be vigor-
ously pushed, in an effort to bring the
guilty persons, if there are any such
to justice.
Heavy Deposits For Burke.
In announcing his decision Colonel
Goethals read a list of the deposits
made and Of the properties purchased
by Burke during his term as manager
of the department, aggregating many
thousands of dollars, and said that he
would give the suspended official every
opportunity to show his innocence in
the transactions whereby Luria G Co..
of Hamburg, deposited 1886; J. L.
Sales, of Colon, $4,000. and De Leon
& Co., of New York, $4,000 to his
credit in indianapolis banks.
These firms were large sellers to
the commissary department and the
amounts in question were traced to
Burke's accounts.
Protests His Innocence.
Colonel Goethals then informed
Burke that in view of the facts he
must suspend him Immediately. He
asked Burke If he had statement to
make, and Burke, leaning over the
table toward Colonel Goethals, declar-
ed with much emotion:
81 can look you or any other man in
the eye and tell you am innocent.
You have not found one thing in the
record of the Secret Service man that
varies any from my previous state
ments. c
Il want to say right here that |
have never taken a cent of money in
my life and | will go before any court
for vindication."
Shipley was suspended for Gin
competence" Lieutenant-Colone Will
son declined in the absence of the
records of his Office to explain many
purchases involving Irregularities, and
was relieved from duty.
Colonel Goethals said he regarded
him as only careless and negligent.
Colonel Wilson requested clemency on
account of Ill health.

improved during the Last twenty years
Until the sheepmen OF the west be-
came recognized as specialists in NUT
ton production. treacherous fiuctua-
tions we're matters of almost daily
occurrence. There are records of de-
clines OF fifty cents per hundredweight
in prices within an hour. The large
western shipper was obliged to fore
stall such ruinous conditions. This
was done by establishing feeding sta
tions on the railway lines tributary to
Chicago from the west Most Of these
are owned and controlled by the rail-
road companies. The large shipper
consigns his sheep to some one of
these feeding stations and then awaits
the advice of his commission firm as
to the number of sheep and the time
he shall send them to market.
A shipment OF say twenty thousand
sheep is thus distributed over period
of a week or ten days instead of all
being dumped on the market on the
same day. Since from sixty-fve to
seventy-five per cent. of the sheep
reaching Chicago market are sent first
to the feeding stations. 1t can readily
be seen how much they aid in prevent
ing market Cutting. The record run
of sheep on the Chicago market for
one day is about $4,000 and a run Of
10000 is considered very heavy, but
were 1t not for the feeding stations it
is claimed that there would frequently
be days when the run would be nearer
100000 head.
