How Hog Cholera Is Being
COmbatted.

Washington, D. C.-The De.
partment of Agriculture during
the past year, has been conduct
ing campaigns in Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Nebraska to con.
troll the contagious disease of
hogs known as "hog cholera"
by means of anti-hog- cholera
serum and farm guarantees.
In one county (Pettis county
Missouri where there was a
loss of IL per cent in 1911 and
25.9 per cent in 1912 Of all hogs
raised, there was only loss of
AT per cent up to November
1918. This decrease was due
TO the use of the serum, which,
although not used there by the
departments agents until Au-
gust, 1913 materially reduced
the loss. About $4,000 hogs
were raised during the past
wear and Of the 10000 that died
of the hog cholera only about
1000 we're lost after the active
use of serum and quarantine
measures we're inaugurated.
In every country where these
measures were employed, even
though begun after the disease
has continued it's ravages for
some time, there was less loss
from hog cholera than in either
of the preceding years.
In addition to its great func-
ton as preventive, it has been
found that the anti-hog- cholera
serum would cure a large pro-
portion of : hogs in the early
stages of the disease and rem
der them immune after recovery.
However, If hogs are not treated
by this serum, from IS to 100
per cent of all affected herds die.
This serum, so far as is known,
is the only thing that will pre-
vent the disease.
OF hogs actually sick when
treated, the departments in
spectors lost but % per cent
during the past summer. Of
we'll hogs in diseased herds, 2.8
per cent died after being inocu-
lated with the serum. q
In an infected herd there is
always a certain proportion Of
hogs that are well.
The inspector examines the
hogs when he arrives, takes the
temperature of all hogs In the
herd and separates the sick from
the well. The temperature is an
indication of the sickness. The
temperature of the sick hog.
unless the hog is near death,
will run above l04 and some
times as high as 1919 or 1852 F.
Some States are engaged in
the manufacture of serum to
Ire this disease. This serum
requires special treatment to
preserve its quality and quail
fled man to produce it. Suffi
cient serum to treat an average
100 pound hog costs about &c

cents at a liberal estimate. The
treatment is by hypodermlc in
lection.
The Department initiating its
campaign against the devasta-
ting hog disease has only been
able to commence in a few of the
districts where the cholera was
the most widespread and where
the active cooperation of the
State was offered in enforcing
the ordinary quarantine meas
ures etc..
The object of the Department
has been to endeavor to control
the disease and if possible, to
eliminate if from the country.
To secure this end the best eff
forts of the farmer himself are
necessary. The campaign
against this devastating sick
ness during 1913 was planned in
the TERRITORY selected along
three lines.
/. The education and organi-
cation of the farmers in the dis
tricts selected, to be carried out
primarily by the State College
2. The enforcement of SAM
tation and restrictive reguIa
by the State Veterinarian.
3. Active supervision by the
Bureau of Animal Industry of
the Department and the inocula-
ton of diseased herds and ex.
posed herds with the anti hog
cholera serum.
A county in each State was
selected as a unit and the method
of work in that county was,
briefly, for the State College to
secure the cooperation of intelli
gent. active farmers in each
township in the county. These
men we're called volunteer as
sistants and they were to keep
in close communication with the
Departments inspector station
ed in that AGRA, keeping him in
formed on conditions and secur.
ing statistics concerning the hog
industry. In this manner con-
ditions were pretty well learned
in the territory under inspec-
ton. When an outbreak of hog
cholera was reported the De-
partment's inspector went to
that outbreak and saved all the
hogs he could by treatment with
serum. AS the disease is very
easily transmitted, he then pro-
tected all herds in the immedi-
ate vicinity by incubation. The
idea was to form a zone of i'm
mune animals around the infect
ed center.
Hog cholera is caused by a
germ that exists in the blood. Ii
is an organism apparently SO
small that the most powerful
microscopes do not show it.
However, it is easy to demon
strate its presence by inoculatng
a small part of the blood from a
sick hog into well one which
produces the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is d disease which

(By FRANK G.. MENKE.)
Robert G. Folwell stands out today
ao the most remarkable coach in the
history of football. He went to Wash
ington and Jefferson college, where
the enrolment is only $50, and built
UP team in 1913 that scored BAT
points, that won nine out of ten games
and held the great Yale eleven to a
scoreless tie in the tenth game. This
year he is back with even a more
wonderful team.
His 1914 team has ripped the hide
off of the Yale eleven, the same Yale
team that was heralded far and wide
as the best Yale team in ten years.

the accomplishments of each pale in
to insignificance in comparison with
what Folwell, former University of
Pennsylvania player, has done.
Why shouldn't Yost, Stage, Haugh-

INJURED. "The fiends are about to hurl
their hot spears down at the leopards :"
But just then a great shouting was
heard beyond the edge Of the pit, and
Boola and all the Kafrs fled.
AT the top Of the pit Captain Duncan
Jones appeared. With him was Uncle
Steve.
Duncan" Edith cried, in great Joy.
Careful, Edith" her father called.
Don't move"

white people call great sport
And thus it came about that Edith
at last met the wild man. for Doctor
Wayne was now brought into view.

dragged the wild man forward. Faith
err! 1t is Your Edith
But the wild man, the man without
fear, was still without reason. He
was still man with clouded memory
of the pasta man whose recollection
of his former self was zero. So he did
not recognize his daughter He spoke
to her as to a stranger, thus:
Maiden, fear not. They will cast
us both into the pit with the leopards.
But be not afraid. Thou shalt not per-
ish, no more than l. The ieopards will
hurt thee not, maiden, for they and
their kinds are my friends"
Edith clutched him nevertheless in
hysterical fear.

father, this is terrible!"

ners who had reached the village as
| their advance heralds.
Sandili would meet the traders and
urge them to hasten to the village and
save the white girl from horrible
death in the pit. For the heart of San
dill was really a white heart in black
| body.
Meantime, to the edge Of the deep
pit the Katirs dragged the wild man
and the maiden-the father and the
daughter. One look down into the
pit puzzled Edith. She could see no
leopards. She wondered where the
blacks kept the beasts which she was
/ to confront.
She screamed with fright as they
gave her father push that forced him
to leap down into the pit. And terror
took possession of her as she found
herself suddenly seized by men with
rope. This rope they tied about her
and then
Father, save mel" she cried, as they
lowered her into the pit.
When she felt the ground under her
feet she freed herself from the rope.
And then for the first time she saw the
leopards. The beasts were in an inner
recess-just within an iron-barred door
that would presently be lifted by Kafirs
hauling on chain at the top of the
pit.
Edith turned to the wild man with

plan to bring back her fathers memory
and cause him to recognize her She
went very close to him and put her
arms on his shoulders and said:

eyes. l am the exact image of my
Look closely!"
The wild man stared seemingly into
her very soul. Then memory swept
through his brain-an overwhelming
food of thoughts.
"Mollie!" he cried "You are my
wife, Mollie!"
NO." she corrected, JOY ringing in
her young voice. 81 am Edith-your
daughter Edith"
All this time the Kafirs at the top
of the pit were waiting for the coming
of Boola. Boola, at the moment, was
hunting high and low for his favorite
wife, Sandili. Where could Sandili
be? What had become of her? Boola

where to be found. Boola beat half
dozen of his lesser wives and COM
manded them in terrible voice to find
Sandili forthwith or suffer whipping
on their bare backs with lashes made
of hippopotamus hide.
In the pit the wild man, who had so
suddenly regained memory of his past,
was still dazed by the flood of recollec-
tons.
81 am Edith, your daughter" the girl
insisted.
Heaven is certainly good to us-my
Edith" Doctor Ware now said. But
stand back. See! Boola has arrived
up there. They are now opening the
door to let out the leopards."
Slowly the iron-barred door rose
and out from the inner recess and into
the main pit came six leopards.
Edith fattened herself against the
wall of the pit in mortal fear, watch
ing her father, who stood between her
and the loopards with his arms uplift-
ed in commanding gesture.

her that Duncan mad already gone
forth to the Caves of the Hundred
Lions in the hope of intercepting the
wild man before he left this rock
mansion for the day.
Edith, with the healthy appetite of
youth, consumed the breakfast that
the Kafirs put before her, then waited
and waited. And still Duncan Jones
did not return. Uncle Steve was writ
ing letters home.
I'm going to that cave myself, "
Edith told herself
She ordered the Kafirs to saddle a
horse. And presently she rode out of
the camp, leaving Uncle Steve still
busy with his correspondence.
She rode through the jungle in di-
rection which she supposed would
bring her to the Cave of the Hundred
Lions. She was riding, instead, toward
the village of Chief Boola
At water hole she dismounted. The
horse drank, and SO did Edith. Then,
at the approach of thirsty lion, Edith
ran and her horse bolted-in opposite
directions.
On and on Edith ran, till she saw a
Kafir village. How could she know that
this was the kraal of Boola, the col
lecGa,r of wives and wild animals? Be-
fore she was aware that she was on
hostile ground she had entered the viii
lage.
The first black she encountered was
none other than Sandili, the favorite
wife of Boola-the exceedingly jealous
wife of the king of the tribe.
What want you here?" Sandili
asked in English. For she had learned
English from the European traders
who came annually to buy the animals
in the pit and whose arrival was ex-
pected this very DAY and hour.
Before Edith could answer, Boola
and lot more of his wives appeared.
Also many Kafir warriors came from
their conical huts up and down the
village street" All crowded now
around the white girl to see what
their chief would do with a woman
whom he could add to his collection of
wives without paying for her SO much
as a single COW.
BY this time Edith was, of course,
terribly alarmed.
Let me go!" she cried Historically,
as Boola seized her by the hand and
dragged her toward the hut where
dwelt the main body Of his harem

And the jealous Sandili gritted her
ivory teeth in rage. For the jealous
wife knew that Boola meant exactly
what his words implied, namely, that
the white girl must remain and be

Astonished Minister.

The proud father had come up from
the country to see his sailor son on
board his ship. He had never seen
battleship before, and accordingly
marveled thereat. Just as he caught
hold of the two ropes which hung over
the side to assist sailors to the deck,
he was somewhat surprised to hear
changing of bells-the eight bells
of seamen's time. AS he stepped on
deck he met the officer of the watch.
He saluted him and said, timidly:
