HOG CHOLERA AND
HOW TO CONTROL TT

There are two principal meth
DDS of preventing hog cholera !;
one by the use of serum, and the
other by taking care to avoid the
methods of spreading the disease,
which are here outlined briefly.
Hog cholera is spread by fail
ure properly to dispose of the car
cases of dead hogs. Buzzards,
dogs and other animals feeding
upon these carcasses can carry in
lection to other premises. All car
casses should be burned or buried
Immediately, and buzzards should
be destroyed in communities
where they are not protected by
law. In communities where these
scavengers are thus protected, the
law should be repealed and the
birds destroyed.
Another very common method
of spreading hog cholera is walk
ing through yards or fields where
sick hogs are kept and carrying
the infection on shoes and cloth
ing to other premises where
healthy hogs are confined. 1t
should be remembered that dis
charges from hogs infected with
cholera are very infectious, and
the owners should not 60 or allow
any of their help to 60 on prem
ises where there are sick hogs.
Neither should they allow their
neighbors to 60 among their hogs
when cholera exists in the com
munity. Healthy hogs should be
cared for by persons who have
not been where the disease exists,
and no one else should be allowed
near the healthy drove.
Cholera may be spread by
streams receiving drainage from
infected premises, by buying. hogs
from premises where the disease
exists, or from public stock yards,
or by failure to isolate newly pur-
chased hogs until their freedom
from disease has been ascertained.
These three matters deserve care
full attention.
When cholera exists in a neigh
borhood every hog owner should
establish a strict quarantine on
his individual premises. When
the disease exists on adjoining
farms hogs should be protected by
injection with anti-hog cholera
serum.
The sudden death of one or two
hogs should lead the owner to sus-
pect cholera. If upon examina-
ton of the carcasses cholera
LESSONS are found, all healthy hogs
should be moved at once to new
lots or pens until they can be in
jected with serum.
A farmer finding cholera
among his hogs should at once ap-
| ply to the Veterinary Division,
Clemson College, for serum,
which is to be had at actual cost
Of manufacture, and should Sc
cure the services of his county
farm demonstration agent, who
has been instructed in the use OF
serum.
1t is the duty of all citizens to
see that the State law relative to
prompt disposal of carcasses is
strictly enforced.

CLEMSON'S HANDSOME
Y. M. G.. A. BUILDING
Association Structure Now Being
Built at Agricultural College
Will Cost $75,000, and Will
Rank Among Finest In
Entire South.

uSC uOI Ill VI CllO COAGAo oS1AoSA
at Clemson College there is being
reared a magnificent structure
that, when completed, will become
an important factor in the social
and religious life of the student
body at the States agricultural
and mechanical college. 1t is the
building of the Young Men s
Christian Association, one of the
first association structures in the
South, and one of the finest col
lege association buildings in the
country. It is costing $4,000 and
was made possible by the generos-
ity of Mr.. John D. Rockefeller,
who donated $4,000 on condition
that 5000 more should be forth
coming. The College trustees ap-
propriated $4,000, which left
$4,000 still to be raised. This
sum was made up by the loyalty
and contributions from cadets,
faculty, alumni and former stu
dents.
Work on the building Is pro-
crossing we'll and the contract
calls for completion before Jan
uary /, 1915. The work is not be-
ing done by the college, but by
contract. The successful bidder is
Mr.. Thomas w. Cothran of
Greenwood. The architect is Prof.
R. E. Lee, head of the division of
drawing and architectural engi-
neering at Clemson. It is a coin
cidence that Prof. Lee and Mr..
Cothran are both graduates of the
class of 1896, the first class to Tin
ish at Clemson College.
The building is to be in the
Italian Renaissance style of archi-
lecture, of vari-colored texture
brick, with colored tile inserts,
terra Gotta and limestone trim
mings and red tile roof. The Ill
terror finish will be of yellow pine.
1t is to be two stories in heigh
with a basement and mezzanine
floor. It will have a frontage of
12O feet and will contain about
$4,000 square feet of floor space:
1t will be heated by steam and
lighted by electricity.
The basement will contain a
large room, 8b by "a feet, suitable
for basketball games, wrestling:
exercising, banquets and social
gatherings. Adjoining the hall
will be a kitchen of ample size
with modern equipment, a quick
lunch room and private dining
room. This will be fitted up in
rathskellar style and will appeal
to both students and members OF
the faculty. A store for the sale
of cold drinks, candies, ETC., To-
Gated in the center of the base
ment, completes this feature.
Space is provided for three
bowling alleys and for spectators.
Two Of the alleys will be installed
at present.
Bathing facilities will be To-
Gated in the basement and will
consist of locker room of ample
size, shower baths and swimming
pool. The pool is to be 21 by &c
feet, a standard size which will
permit of official records in swim
ming and other aquatic sports
1t will be finished throughout
with ceramic tile.
The main toilet for the building
will be located in the basement
adjoining the locker room:
The mezzanine floor will con.
tain spectators galleries, storage
space for the store, q large room
for college publications, a com.
mittee room, locker room fol

A Stored Spot.
Clemson College is a unique
blending of the old and the new,
of the historic with the now. Just
across the road from the cadet
dormitories, which every session
house over 800 young men, and in
sight of the new electric power
station that day or night beats as
the industrial heart of the COM
munity, is the white columned
mansion of the illustrious John
G. Calhoun. One can almost pic
ture the great statesman, as with
hands behind him he PAGES the
avenues of cedar and oak, putting
into form those matchless ideals
of patriotism whose fulfllment he
never lived to see.
About 30 yards to the rear Of
the mansion is queer little one
story room structure with COL
umned porch to match the man
sion. This was the "study" of the
great statesman, and here were
written many of his great ora
tions. Under this little study,
which is about 20 feet square, is
dug a deep pit in which ice cut in
winter was stored for summer use.
How the seasons must have
changed, for only during one or
two winters of the 20 which the
writer has spent in the cup coun-
try" has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to justify such ample
storage.
In the old mansion are many
historic relics, including a chair
used by Gen. George Washington,
and a seven-foot mohair-covered
lounge on the back of which is
carved the American eagle. 1t is
said that the engraving on our
coins was copied from this carv-
ing.
The old mansion with its his
toric memories, the peer of the
Hermitage, Mount Vernon and
Monticello, is priceless State and
national asset, and should be a
perennial source of inspiration to
succeeding generations of young
South Caroiinians who are priv
ileged to live for four years in the
shadow of it's historic walls.
Many are wont to ask why the
college does not bear the name Of
Calhoun instead of the name of
his son-in-law, Thos. G. Clemson.
The answer is that nowhere does
it appear in the records that Mr..
Calhoun ever wished or planned
the erection of an industrial and
technical college on the old home
stead. The complete story of Mr..
Clemson's part in the founding
of the college is too long to be told
here.
A Vast Plant.
The college tract contains over
1900 acres. On the property
there are % principal public
buildings, 70 dwellings and 81
minor buildings. The college has
in its employ 401 teachers, officers
and laborers. It's inventoried
property is 81, 1927 ,72s.57. The Of
fcers of the college send out year
lv over $4,000 letters and over
435,oOO other pieces of mail mat
ter, most of which give agricul-
tural information.
In addition to the parent sta
ton, the college maintains two
branch experiment stations-one
near Summerville and the other at
Florence. One more to be stu
ated ir the sand hill section of the
State, Just as soon as funds will
permit, will complete a system
representing the principal soil
types of the State.

A PEN PICTURE OF
CLEMSON COLLEGE
Works for Welfare In Many
Ways.

Picture a county estate of 1900
acres, with stately buildings
placed at elevated points to form
great irregular circle of half a
mile In diameter. Inclose in this
circle q beautiful grove of native
oaks, threaded by smooth drive
ways and paths and cement side
walks. Turn to the north and for
q background outline against the
sky at a distance of 90 miles,
range after range of mountains,
the home of the Highlands, Of
Caesars Head, Whitesides and
other lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge. Think of these mountains
as in summer clothed with YER
dure, standing out black against
the horizon, and in winter often
white with snow. Take for the
southern boundary river of In
dian lineage and follow in its
sweeping crookedness the swift
and turbulent Seneca as it twists
this way and that to mark the
confines of the estate. And to this
setting add broad expa yes of
river bottom lands green with
corn, steep hillsides sinuous with
level grassy terraces and cool pas
lures with winding brooks and
graceful shade trees and you have
a picture of Clemson College, not
colored to suit the canvas of an
artist, but as seen every year by
nearly a thousand young South
Caroiinians who seek, amid these
surroundings, an education that
will prepare them for self-respect-
ing, self-supporting citizenship.
