HOG CHOLERA SERUM PLANT
Why Orders Received at Brookings
Could Not Be Filled,

The Experiment Station at Brook
ings has received many requests dur
ing the past month in regard to Sc
curing hog cholera serum. For the
information of the people, the ex-
| pertinent station is not manufacture
ing hog cholera serum. The rules
of the federal department Of agricul-
ture, under which the station none
is expended, will not permit of police
duty in the state. Experiments have
been conducted with the serum by
the station, and others will be con-
Quoted this fall. The station published
Bulletin No. 1873, which tells all about
the disease, symptoms. treatment,
etc. This bulletin is free on applica-
ton to the director of the station at
Brookings.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the manufacture
of hog cholera serum at the state in
stitution. The college was unfortu-
nate in losing its veterinarian, hence
a little delay in the manufacture Of
the r However, his successor in
forms me that the u is now
ready for distribution. Requests for
this serum will be filled in order.
South Dakota ought to have a
laboratory where all the different
kinds Of serum could be made at the
expense Of the state and sold to the
people at cost. This will come about
in time.
Some criticism has been made Of
The station throughout the state be-
cause it did not make this serum for
the people, hence this explanation.
The station is not negligent, and in
this connection I might state that no
experiment station in the United
States uses the federal funds for the
making and distribution Of hog chol.
era serum.-Professor James w. Wll.
con, Director Of Experiment Station.

And His Wife Laughed.

Suddenly" relates King Hyde, with
a yell, a tattooed giant rushed for
me, brandishing a club. What did I do?
l ducked. My wife laughed until the
tears rolled down her cheeks at my
shrinking demeanor.
"The big stick man didn't hit me at
all. but deftly whirled the club about
my head. yelling each time, 'Tuifete.'
which was my chief name-'The Sharp
Pointed Knife That Kills When the
club twirler had resumed his seat an
other orator arose, and l was informed
that thereafter the men. women and
mats of Matautu were all subject to
my wishes. I was given a wand for
my scepter. and I was king"
1t was then that the gentle Matau-
tuans tasted again the king-kava and
tasted it with the zest of fifteen years
Of abstinence. Hyde was let into the
secret that the religion Of the natives
permits them to drink the beverage

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
ON FILLING The S|LO
Recommendations for Packing
and Sealing.
Use COpH before IT is DRY
(By PROF. C. LARSEN, South Da,
kota State C%oIleqe.l

During the last few years silos in
South Dakota have increased very
rapidly in number. Silos mean in
creased prosperity. They result in
more and better corn. more COWS and
young stock and a cheaper and easier
way of feeding and caring for the
| stock.
There are now in South Dakota
about 1000 silos. We have approx
mately S0,030 farms in South Dakota
there should be a silo on every
farm. The many advantages of feed
ing silage warrant this statement.
!. <. =
DON'T CUT DRY CORN-It is a
mistake to let corn stand and get en-
tirely dry before the silos are filled.
There should be enough moisture or
juice left in the corn stalk to cause
the silage to pack without adding
any water, and to be in the right
amount for feeding purposes. True,
dry corn fodder is put in silos and
water added and in that way is Sc
cured a better feed than could be
LOU 4AolA tI0 uly I'LL oIdlho. IOuL
silage made by adding water is not
nearly SO palatable and nutritious as
is that made from corn while yet
partially green. When corn begins
to dent and the lower half of the
leaves and stalk wilt, then it is time
to cut it for silage.
:. :. .-
SEALING THE SILO-Considerable
silage is spoiled on the top because
no precautions are taken to prevent
1t. There are several ways in which
a silo can be sealed after it is filled.
The most ommon way is probably
that of tramping it down during sew
eral successive days after filling and
at the same time wet it thoroughly
with water. If this is not done the
| silage slides way underneath and
leaves several feet of space in which
the silage is not solidly packed and
which will spoil, Sc it pays to go into
the silo every day and tramp it down.
Another good way of sealing silos
is to run a load of straw through the
silage cutter and cover the top of the
silo with this. 1t should be thor
oughly wetted and tramped down. A
little oats on the top of this will
sprout and cause the surface to matt.
Some have advised covering the
surface with salt. This method is
quite effective as far as keeping the
silage is concerned, but IL enough
salt la added to prevent spelling the

drinks Of other lands, when too much
of it is imbibed it paralyzes the legs
temporarily.
To drink it the natives of Matautu
needed a king. Hyde was the handiest
subject. He was a stranger and his
elevation would cause no jealousy. SO
one morning ten chiefs with their ora
