Fastest Track Ever Built.

When the athletes gather for the
national track and field championships
of the A. A. u, which will be held in
San Francisco next August in conjunc-
ton with the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton, they will have the pleasure of
digging up the cinders on one of the
fastest tracks ever constructed. The
Frisco course is even faster than the
St Louis track and the courses at Sol
dier's field, Cambridge, and in Mon
treal, Canada. The st. Louis, Cam
bridge and Montreal tracks are con-
sidered the three fastest running
tracks ever built. Some great times,
therefore, should be hung up in the
different events.

Just as the happy husband of few
months was about to leave home for
the daily Office grind .his wife placed a
hand upon his arm.
Harry, DEAR" she softly said,
haven't you a lock of my hair some
where in your pocket?"
Il have, indeed, sweetheart" was
the prompt response of hubby, as he
affectionately embraced the sharer of
his sorrows and joys. Il have it right
here in the pocket close to my hearth"

NSIkE CLOVER IS
GOOD COVER CROP
Well Adapted to Low, Moist Soil
is WeII-KnoWn as Fa-
vorite Food for Bees.

Alsike clover, unlike our red clover,
is well adapted to low, moist soils.
also to dried up land. It should not
be sown alone. Six pounds of alsike
seed and ten pounds of red clover seed
sown to the acre will give large crop
of excellent hay, and larger yield
than if either were sown alone.
Red clover will seldom produce
crop of hay the third year, while
alsike will yield good crops from three
to five years if the land is in good
condition and the season not too dry.
Alsike clover is we'll known as the
favorite food for bees. The honey
made from alsike blossoms is said to
be of excellent quality. But its great
est value is for pasture. When once
firmly rooted it will make a sturdy
growth even If the season is hot and
the ground dry.
Hay farmers who have grown this
clover for some years consider it
valuable to mix with meadow grasses,
such as foul meadow and red top.
Yields of 81 to tons of hay have
been grown to the acre, and excellent
fall pasture may be had until late in
the season.
The second crop is said to cause
horses to slobber freely, and on this
account it is best not to sow alsike
in horse pastures. The seed may be
had from the agricultural stores. 1t
is thought best to try this clover

(By CHESTER q. STARR, Purdue Ex-
pertinent Station)
The anti-hog-cholera serum used in
the prevention of hog cholera is OBJ
tanned from hogs that have recovered
from an attack of cholera and have
been rendered very strongly resistant
to the disease. The modern serum
laboratory is mandatory in the full
sense of the word.
Healthy hogs are purchased either
at home or at some market; they are
vaccinated upon arrival at the serum
plant, and good care is taken of them
for three weeks. AT the end Of that
time they have fully recovered from
the effects of vaccination and are what
are termed immunes. At the end or
this time, the immunes are given very
large doses of very virulent hog-chol-
era blood. This blood is obtained in
the better serum companies by buying
healthy one hundred to one hundred
and fifty pound hogs, inoculating them
with cholera blood alone. These virus
hogs are killed as soon as they show
high temperatures and visible signs of
cholera. Their blood is carefully col
Iected in bottles or jars, the f1brin i'll
tered out and the resulting fluid is the
virus used for injecting into the i'm
munes. Large quantities of virus are
given each immune, 200-pound hog
receiving from one to two quarts of
this very virulent blood, depending on
the method used in injecting it. This
dose of virus renders the immune very
strongly resistant to cholera, and he
is now what is termed hyperimmune.
Ten days after the injection of virus, If
the hyperimmune is in good health, the
first bleeding is done. Since the tail
offers the only place available without
danger of bleeding to death, 1t Is Sc

the blood, flowing from the cut, is col

their fighting spirit. The socks
are to be black and red also, ac-
cording to an announcement :
made by Secretary Foster.
