INDIAN FIGHTS, FURS, ALFALFA
Signs of an Awakening in Old Wor-
 cester County, Massachusetts

Worchester county some years ago made a record as the place of the most Indian fighting, and that established two important facts-that this wide strip of Massachusetts between New Hamp- shire and Connecticut and Rhode Island was highly prized by the wise Indians for it's game and agricultural resources. For many years after that the white people provided the world with more furs than any other country in the world, and for many of the same years and since Worchester county was the greatest farming county of New England. Dis couraginS evolution of the diary business set it back some in that line. but it has all the time been going on as a big county in steel and other manufacturing. All that means 1t Is still the biggest coun- ty of It's size in the world.
 But the Alfalfa club Is not satisfied with all these records, says the Wor- chester Telegram. It proposes to en- large the county some more. and is going about 1t with the vigor which indicates that mer heve not lost the ambition which was here even before the white people came. Out of the Alfalfa club with. its city and town membership springing ideas has come the Worchester county Improvement League and Alfalfa club. which evidently carries somewhat the

Christians and Momammedans, the Occident and the Orient, and will have to spread civiliza- tons and order in country where an alphabet for the mother tongue was in troduced only three or four years ago and where there is still no grammar. The Hinterland, after 700 years of Turk ish rule is wild waste.
 The incidence of the Albanians, says von Zubovits, is another factor For cen turies he has done as little as he could because he knew that, soon or late what ever he had accumulated or made would be taken away from him. He lets half his land lie untitled. Where he does cultivate, his blow goes only a couple inches deep. Furthermore declares the captain, the London conference in a step motherly way included in the new Alba nian all swamps and rocks possible of inclusion. He continues:
 How, then, shall this little land bear all the heavy burdens which will impose themselves upon it's creation into new state? How will 1t pay its official and army, how build streets, bridges, schools AiON VIII II pay us lpd1l or Slo,puu.Vpu. All will be peaceful as long as any of the $15,o00,o0o remains, until the day when the word will come: Now. Skiperdor (Alba- nian), pay taxes Then I would like to see how anyone can squeeze single penny out of a Malisser."
 So far from expecting to pay taxes. the average Albanian expects to receive money and cattle from the new ruler. Von Zubovits details conversations with different natives. All look forward glad ly to the coming of the prince, who is to support the army, in which all men will be soldiers. He will also support all soldiers parents wives and children. The Albanians expect also that the ruler will give them 10000 sheep. which they can slaughter as they please, being obliged only to return the belts to the prince. He is to send their money to them, so that they will not have to go to Durazzo to get it.
 The prince will be confronted also with the problem of making orderly justice take the place of the vendetta, which is in full bloom.

They laughed and asked me whether the new judges were to live above the clouds. If they stay on earth our bullets will surely reach them they said. They will find out how far they can go with us

STORMY DAYS ARE IN PROSPECT FOR
 ALbAN|A'S RULER Prince of Weld Will Find Personal Danger in New
 Sovereignty FACES AN ALMOST
 IMPOSSIBLE TASK Must Reconcile Mortal Enemies, Christians and Mohammedans. Has Had No Previous Ex- :. perience in Ruling

Berlin, March 14.-(Special.) )-Observers of Balkan politics see stormy days ahead for the Prince of Weld, that former major of a German infantry regiment, who has been called to rule the Alba nians. But 3S years of age, his life here tofore has not touched upon affairs of state nor broadened beyond the daily routine of an army officer, and the social prerogatives that attach themselves to members of the petty royalty of the lesser European municipalities. He was not even head of the house of Weld, but the second brother.
 He does not even know whether he is real royalty in his new position. It is true the Albanian delegation that prof ferred him the throne of that torn and troubled country addressed him as Ma jesty' and King" but the powers agreed only to recognize him as Prince of Albania" Certainly he will find rude reality and personal danger in his new sovereignty.

The members from and sized each other up, and scattered of what areas they shall proceed in the spring to put into shape for raising the most alfalfa. The land Is all cold now, and the ice crop is nearer the harvest now than alfalfa, but each man knows where the land lies on which he has set his hopes for making the most of the new grass grow. By groups they have laid it out by towns. and they are getting ready to show that their respective towns have the resources for the best result in alfalfa and the incidentals of milk, butter and beef These are the lines indicated by the improvement sec ton of the league.
 That kind of league suggests com petition in effort, just as is recognized in a baseball league There Is m immense amount of work involved. but there are men in the league capable of doing that work. The result should be an increase of the salabe farm products by nearly 50 per cent fin the next year. and- in five years the output should surely be doubled. In other sections of the country the Al- falfa leagues have done a good deal to that end. but Worchester county has the best foundation to start with, and 1t will not be slow about taking the lead in this new movement

CAL0MEL UNCERTAIN
 AND DANGEROUS

Calomel often makes you feel worse after taking it. Try Dod- son's Liver Tone next time. Most people who take calomel to cure constipation, find that even if it does give relief for one day that two or three days later they are sicker than ever. That is one of the after-effects of cal omel. Calomel is also very dan- gerous, as it often causes saliva tion.
 This is the reason why Hester ly Drug Store will not guarantee calomel to be harmless. But they do guarantee Dodson's Liv- CT Tone to be a perfect remedy that safely takes the place of Icalomel. Dodson's Liver Tone relieves constipation and bilious attacks by stimulating and ton ing-up the liver to do it's best work. It is a vegetable liquid with a pleasant taste and is harmless to children as well as grown people. It livens up the liver by natural methods, does not act so strongly as to weaken the body, but is safe and sure just the same. You can buy a large bottle today for fifty cents with the assurance of your mon- ey back if it fails in your case.

GOOD RESULTS FROM AN
 Tl-HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Treatment Given by Demonstra- tiOn Agents in South Cutting Cutting the Loss From
 This Disease.

Washington, D c. Oct. 2-The treatment of hogs exposed to the risk of contagion from hog cho- lera with anti-hog cholera serum has saved all but 2.27 per cent in the Southern States, according to reports received by the U. s. Department of Agriculture from local agents engaged in demon- stration work in this section.
 These reports show that the county agents inoculated, in the year ending June 30, 1914, a total of 34,636 hogs that were in good health at the time, but were exposed to the disease. Of this number only 787 died. This loss of 2.27 per cent is regarded as highly gratifying evidence of the value of the preventive treat ment with anti-hog cholera ser um.
 Although many authorities do not recommend this treatment after the hog is so sick that signs of the disease are plainly visible, the agents in many cases took a fighting chance" The results would seem, on the whole to have been very satisfactory. Including the sick and well ami mals, a grand total of 41,974 hogs exposed to the disease re- ceived the serum. Of these, B. GOA, died, a percentage of loss of |7.15.
 In considering these figures, scientists point out that the work was done under ordinary farm conditions, and not by trained experts in laboratories. In addition, a very large number of hogs were inoculated by vet erinarians or by farmers them selves. In these cases no figures are available to show the exact results of the treatment.

The Prescott daily news., 1914-10-02

Department experts also point out, however, that inoculation alone is not sufficient and does not remove the necessity for sanitary and other precautions ]; for example hogs should be fed for a few days after the treat ment on cooling laxative foods. They should be removed to un- infected and clean pens where there is plenty of shade, and'care should be taken to free them from lice <and worms. Since many hogs are worm infested, the following formula, which has been used by local agents throughout the South with con- siderable success, is suggested by the Kentucky Experiment Station:
 Santonin-21a grains.
 Areca nut dram.
 Calomel-1 grain.
 Sodium carbonate-1 dram.
 This is a sufficient quantity for each 100 pounds of live weight. The dose should be given in slop in the evenings, after the hogs have been with out food for from 12 to "A hours. The following morning each hog should receive a tablespoonful of Epson Salts.
