Cholera Prevention, Plan.

Vermillion.-Aog cholera may be
largely prevented by sanitary meas
ures, asserted DR.. c.. C. Lipp. of the
South Dakota State college, in an ad'
dress in this city. DR.. Lipp stated
that farmers underestimate The value
of quarantine, disinfection and santa
ton as preventives of the disease, III
they are acquainted with the causes
of cholera and the means by which
the. disease is spread most of them
will be able to figure out for them
selves many of the available means
for preventing it. First, it is neces.
sary," said DR.. Lipp, that there be
better sanitation in hog yards; the
pens must be dry, light and we'll ven
tilated; the feeding floors must be
clean; the wallow must be sanitary.
and the pigs must be fed a Aealthful,
balanced ration. Sanitation must be
preserved by disinfecting the hog
houses; by keeping the hogs free from
internal and external parasites, and
where cholera is present, by destroy
ing all carcasses by burning, and by
burning all the trash in the yards.
As to quarantine, there is a great nee
essity for taking such measures as will
prevent the germs from being intro
duced on to a farm. This includes
the isolation Of hog yards and houses
away, from railroads, highways
streams, etc. Sick hogs be lso-
lated and quarantined away Aom the
rest of the herd, and every ~precaution
taken not to visit a farm where there
is cholera. Do not allow visitors from
such a farm on your farm.

HOW TO PICK DAIRY COW.
Some Advice Given by Prof. Larsen,
: of State College.

Armour.--Any old COW will no
longer do as a dairy producer, out she
must be an animal built for that par
ticular kind of work, otherwise she
will be led at a loss. This idea was
urged by Prof. c. Larsen. Of the state
college. in a dairy train address and
demonstration at Armour. In picking
a dairy COW he suggested choosing n
that has a form closely related to
the work she has to do He said:
~ A dairy cow must have a
strong constitution, as indicated by
large lung capacity, full Il deep
heart girth, fellow, loose ii and a
.clean-cut appearances: CD large and
efficient capacity for holding and di-
costing food, indicated by a deep. vide
and long barrel, and loose. mellow
skin. 81 good blood circulation, in
dictated by large, branching and long
milk veins, large and numerous milk
wells, long and we'll developed
e%scutcheon and loose, mellow skin;
az a strong, nervous system, indicated
by healthy, lean and bright appear
ance, by prominent, stralgh1, open
iointed backbone and a wide forehead,
and 90 large udder capacity. indicated
chiefly by the fore udder extending
well forward and the hind adder at
tached high between the thighs. The
udder should also be wide Il level.
The thighs should be fiat and wide
aDart. with great width over hips, pin
bones and rump. In addition to these
factors a dairy COW should have SYM
metry and beauty of form.
Prof. Larsen pointed out the fact
that South Dakota farmers should en-
gage in dairying because this state IS
especially adapted to that business, be-
cause
/. By feeding field crops to DAIRY
COWS about S35 per COW per year can
be saved in labor connected with mar
keting and transportation.
2. The dairy COW preserves the
richness of the land by maintaining
sol fertility
3. Dairying produces human 0
the year around. Cows consume in
winter field crops produced during the
summer. Cows should freshen in the
fall.
4. The dairy COW will change 81
worth of Dakota feeds into ~ worth
of produce.

Washington, d. C.-The United
States government has made public its
note to Great Britain announcing that
It could not admit either the right OF
ton In placing an embargo on all COM
mercial intercourse between Germany
and neutral countries.
"To admit it." says the communica-
ton, would be to assure the attitude
Of unneutrality toward the present enc
mics OF Great Britain which would OBJ
viously be inconsistent with the SOL
emn obligations of this government in
the present circumstances, and for
Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and set
at naught the principles for which she
has consistently and earnestly con-
tended in other times and circum-
stances"
The note reviews at length the legal
phases Of a blockade Of belligerent ter
ritory and virtual blockade of neutral
coasts. In conclusion. the United
States states it's expectation tina Great
Britain after having considered the
possibilities OF serious interruption
of American trade" under the order
will take the steps necessary to avoid
them, and in the event that they should
unhappily occur will be prepared to
make full reparations for every act
which, under the rules of international
law. constitutes a violation Of neutral
rights"
The American communication inter-
prets the circumstances under which
Great Britain claims to be justified In
adopting retaliatory measures toward
her enemies as merely a eason for
certain extraordinary activities" by
her naval forces, "and not an excuse
for or a prelude to any unlawful &C.
ti0n."

Assessing Thesher Hard Job.

Pierre.-One of the features of as
sessment work which county auditors
meet with was told by al auditor
from one of the eastern counties at
the late meeting in this city. A
threshing machine was owned jointly
by four men, one living in n town
ship, the other three in another town
ship. The assessor in the township
the one man lived assessed the
outfit at $1,000 as company property,
against the company, which would
give an assessment of four hundred
dollars against each Of the other three.
These three men came before the
board Of commissioners and asked an
abatement of that amount OF tax az
they had included their interests IN
the threshing outfit in their general
personal assessments. On their claim
the county board, to prevent double
assessment, allowed each a rebate OF
four hundred dollars III personal prop
erty assessment. When the auditor
came to deduct this amount from heir
assessments, he found that the high
est personal assessment against either
of the three was $125, and h puz-
zled him was how he could take S40O
assessment from S12o, and yet leave
either of these men any assessment on
other personal property which they
listed as belonging to them.
Will Sell 5000 Acres.

auditor and the superintendent OF
school in the county where the LANDS
are located, and the personal inspec-
ton of these officers has been given
to the matter, in each case the lands J.
being listed at the price at which tha
lands viii be sold.
