HOG CHOLERA.
sc N FTER HOGS have been ex-
~ posed to the cholera and the


~ posed to the cholera and the
germs have entered their
systems, the only method Of preyen-
tion consists in the injection of hog
cholera serum" says Dr. b. Il.
e. Simms, veterinarian at the Oregon
Agricultural College.
But If the methods Of spread are
kept in mind great many outbreaks
may be prevented by not allowing
the hogs to be exposed to cholera.
The following are some of the rules
that should be observed.
BE suspicious of every sick hog.
Never allow any hog that is stick to
remain with the well animals.
BE sure the hogs do not have a
chance to drink infected water. If
there is an outbreak of cholera any
where in the neighborhood, do not
let your hogs get to stream which
passes through one of the infected
ranches.
Always quarantine any new hogs
which are brought on the ranch for
at least three weeks. This Is espe-
cially true Of animals which have
been shipped in freight ears. II Is
some trouble to keep these hogs
separate but they are always danger
Gus.
Bury or burn the carcass of
every animal that dies on your
ranch, If this is not done the car
ron eating animals may come direct
ly from the carcass of hog that
died Of cholera to your ranch and
thus bring in the infection.
'As far as is possible see that
your neighbors burn or bury all
carcasses, especially those Of hogs
which have died of cholera.
DO not feed hotel or kitchen
slops which contain raw bacon rinds
or ham bones.
When your neighbors' hogs get
SICK let them alone. You probablv
can not help them but Il you 20
around where they are, you are
very liable to collect some of tbe
germs on your feet or clothing and
thus infect your hogs. Never al
low any one who has been around
sick hogs to come into your lots or
handle your hogs"

LICENSED, SOUND AND PURE
BRED STALLIONS.

FARMERS may know exactly the
4 breed and quality Of stations
offered for public service in
Oregon, since the owners are re-
Quired by law to have them labeled
by the State Registration Board.
Every stallion is labeled either as
pure-bred, cross-bred, non-stand-
ard. grade or mongrel and his de-
gree of soundness is certified by the
Board. Unsound horses, unless hav-
ing stood for public service prior to
1912, cannot get license Of any
description.
Farmers and mare owners are
protected by a guarantee in the two
vital points OF breed and sound
ness" says Professor Carl N. Ken
nedy, horse specialist at 0. A. c.,
who is secretary Of the Board.
"They should patronize only the H.
censed stations, and should demand
that stallion owners comply with
the law, since It is their guarantee.
"On the other hand the horse
raisers should show their preference
for good stations. The good ones.
those that produce colts that stay
sound and bring good prices, are
themselves sound, pure-bred and Ii
censed by the Board"

FORTUNES IN POTATOES.

A HEAVY demand for disease
~ free potatoes Of standard var
iety and desirable type, and
not single source Of supply in the
entire United States, is the situation
that confronts the potato grower.
In some parts of the country, how
ever, such seed can be grown,
while in other parts, including some
of the heaviest producing sections
of the entire country, 1t is impossi-
BILE to grow seed Of this kind, and
1t must be imported from those
parts where II can be grown, or else
the industry will have to be aban-
doned. Among the places in which
seed of the desired quality can be
grown, Oregon is one Of the best
and most convenient to markets.
Herein lies the opportunity Of the
Oregon potato grower. Seed Of such
variety as Burbank, or other stand
ard variety, that is produced in this
state free from insect and disease
pests, may, II properly inspected and
passed, bring price considerably
above the market price OF potatoes
for food purposes. California grow
ers have standing offer Of a bonus
on such inspected potatoes, and they
would rather get the potatoes in
Oregon than anywhere else, because
Of conveniece and nearer approach
to their climatic conditions.
Let growers who have land upon
which potatoes have not been grown
prepare and plant II to as good
seed as can be had, after being
thoroughly treated with formalin.
and crop Of potatoes that should
meet the demand will probably be
produced" says Professor Jackson,
Of the Plant Pathology department
OF the Agricultural College. "By
practicing crop rotation using those
crops that are non-hosts to the po-
tato disease fungi, and by continu.
ally selecting seed in the fields and
treating 1t with the standard fungi
eides, the crops should be kept free
from infection and up to the stand
ard OF the varieties grown. The
Agricultural College will be glad to
cooperate with growers"

HOME GROWN SEED SUCCEEDS.

The vigorous seeds sprouted with
such uniformity and strength that

CLEANING UP THE TRASH DE.
sTROYS MANY INSECTS.

IN TWO adjoining Willamette Val
n ley gardens large crops Of peas
were grown, The owner OF one
cleaned up the vines after they had
ceased bearing, and the other did
not. The one who did was surprised
at the number Of half grown garden
slugs found just under the surface.
He left the pulled-up vines on the
row until they dried out, and then
set them on fire, plling other trash
and weeds on the blaze. It seems
that all slugs and their eggs were
completely destroyed. The other
gardener is undoubtedly harborlng n
fine crop Of pests for his next gar
den crop.
NEARLY all truck aud garden
crops are attacked by the slug"
says Professor A, L. Lovett, Of the
o. A. G. chronological department.
They also feed on the foliage Of
our bush fruits, Cleaning up Is the
best control measure, but traps Of
bits OF sacldng, boards or damp
straw are useful when left about
the field The traps serve as raj
lying points for the slugs, and may
be visited IN the morning and the

Dr. James E. Grant, heroic ships surgeon of the f1l-fated Empress of Ireland. is a classmate of pr. Joseph H. Beaudry, one of the day surgeons at the emergency hospital. Dr. Beau dry was offered a ship-surgeon's as signment but turned it down to settle in Bridgeport. Dr. Grant took the of fer. which turned out to be the as- signment on the s'death ship
 pr. Grant was a product of the 1urn- ber regions of British Columbia. son of a lunber1nan in that section and himself working in that section during vacations running a donkey engine. He was married shortly before senior year to a boyhood sweetheart of the same region and. after a. little preliminary work, intended returning there for his 1ife's work. Following graduation, he served as an interne in the Montreal General Hospital. At McGin Univer- sity. he was we'll liked and made the track team as a runner.
 1 Dr. Grant was hurled into the water after he had been pulled through a. porthole of the sinking vessel. He was picked up by a life boat and, as clothes, saved several lives by prompt medical service.
 The pathetic picture of brother searching for brother was the tragedy of pr. Charles F. Lindsay of the Union Metallic Cartridge Go. who hurried to the scene from this city following a report Of tic disaster Dr. M. A. Lind- say, a pathoIogist of the Nova Scotia government, had taken passage on the vessel and it was practically sure that he had gone down with the ship. On the wind-swept docks of the Canadian city, hope gone, the search went on. The searcher had not seen his brother for years and one great fear was that he would not be able to identify the body.
 So fearful vas he that this would Joe the experience due to the changes brought to his brother in recent years, that she carried recent picture in his hands so as to make identification cer- tain. Even when the body was found. he did not feel sure and it was not until several had compared the cold face with the photograph that he was certain he has found his dead brother

CrowelI was the first witness called to the stand by Prosecuting Attorney C1ttus King He recounted how, as they were walking along the street car tracks. waiting the approach of a car to take them back to Bridgeport, they were suddenly struck and hurled many feet Mrs. Johnson was picked up fatally injured and carried into a near by house where she expired few moments later.
 Other witnesses were Mf. and Mrs. Frank B. Field, 10 Franklin street, Hillside avenue. and John.
