jection and the number of bleedings that are obtained before rehyperimmu nization. Other conditions being equal the more virulent the virus, the more potent will be the serum. Nothing but the strongest virus possible should ever be used. Strains of virus that will produce fever and fatal sickness in seven to eight days are much pre- ferable to those that require an incu bation of eight to ten days. The usua amount of virus injected at one time when injected into the veins of the immune. is six cubic centimeters for each pound of body weight. If less than this is used, the serum will b. apt to be low in potency. The frs and second bleedings are of stronger potency than the third bleeding. IT practice. equal parts of first, secont and third should be mixed for the proper production of serum. Not more than six cubic centimeters of blood at any one time should be bled iron the hyperimrnune for each pound O, body weight. The method of bleeding whether from the tail until clipped toe short for further use and neck at the final bleeding or from but one bleeding at the neck as practiced by some serum companies. will not produce any differ ence in the potency or in the amount of foreign bacteria, provided thai proper methods of sterilization are em. ployed.
 No virus should be used that is bled from hogs that show lesions of other diseases other than acute cholera Each virus hog should be carefully ex amined after bleeding. The amount of bacteria, and especially the number of pathogenic bacteria, is due to the meth ods of sterilization used. Each hog should be carefully cleaned and disin- fected. the tail or neck shaved and sterilized before bleeding, and all bot ties or jars should be sterilized. All of the preparation and bottling should be done in clean quarters free from any dust, and no vessels used that are not sterile.
 The potency test may be misleading through the use of pigs that are from immune mothers. These pigs may re- tain enough immunity that they will remain we'll even though the serum is low in potency. That is one of the reasons why check pigs are used, to show the natural immunity of the pigs. The pigs should also be of the same herd or litter and treated alike.
 Under the provisions of the new hog cholera control law in Indiana. Purdue university is charged with the testing of all hog cholera serums and so-called cures that are sold in the state. All of the different serums exposed for sale in the state and a great many Of the cures have been tested. The great CT majority of the serums have been found to be potent, but no cure has been of any use in either curing or preventing hog cholera. All serums tested by Purdue university are recom- mended to the state veterinarian, who issues a state permit, under which each serum is sold. At any time this permit can be revoked through the serum not being up to the standard.

serum cooled and bottled. It is then placed in a refrigerator to wait for the testing. This is done by trying the serum with pigs and also in the best plants by a meteorological examina- ton. The potency of the serum is tested by taking some pigs weighing SO to 70 pounds that are not immune to cholera. injecting some of them with hog cholera blood alone and the others with varying amounts of the serum along with the hog cholera blood The pigs that receive no serum are termed check pigs and should die from cholera within from five to four teen days. The pigs receiving serum should remain healthy. If the bacteri- oloeical examination shows TO bacteria that are liable to produce blood poison- ing or abscesses and the potency test Is good, the serum of that particular bleeding Is labeled with the serial num- Der of the test and placed on the mar ket.
 In the main, this is the process of manufacture of anti-hog cholera se- rum. The varying results with different serums that can be observed in a com munity are due to difference in the care and intelligence used in the man. ufacture. The potency of the serum is governed by the virulency of the virus used. the amount of virus in-

Locality Attracts Animals.

A locality that is curiously stunned by plants but favorite with animals is mentioned by Prof E. F. Gautier. A hill of rock salt near Jelfa. Algiers, more than three hundred feet high and nearly a mile in diameter. has no plant life except in the alluvium of a few sink-holes. and the salt-impreg- mated clay about it Is equally bare. Animals. on the other hand. especially hawks. doves and other birds. exist in great numbers. making the rock their home and breeding places, though obliged to seek food at distance.

need to throw of all heavy winter conditions and prepare for the new life of spring.
 It is best to gradually drop off from the winter foods, as too sudden a jump may prove serious. Biliousness and various kindred ills may be com pletely routed by careful diet and the free use Of green vegetables.
 Nature provides us in the early spring with just the food we need. Let tuce, cress. dandelion and spinach are invaluable if we expect to keep in a good state of health.
 The dandelion contains taraxacum, the tonic which is in many doctors prescriptions. This acts directly on the liver, stimulating it to a healthy action.
 The liver is one Of the most impor- tant organs in the body and must be kept free to work its process of elimi- nation. When it is clogged and slug gish the whole body is out Of order.
 Dandelions also add bulk to the food, scraping up the digestive tract; thus poisons which cause autointoxi- cation, constipation and rheumatism are removed from the body. The di- gestiye tract needs flushing and often a more heroic treatment. as we treat drain pipes which become clogged.
 Cowslips are another early spring vegetable which does not need to be shipped in, and then later we grow our own spinach and pepper grass in the vegetable garden. which should be part of every small or large garden.
 How much pleasanter it is to eat a nice crisp plate of lettuce than to take nasty-tasting pills or medicine. The addition of oil to any of the salad greens makes them more valuable. as oil is healing. lubricates the tissues and stimulates the action of the liver.
 People who do not like olive oil have undoubtedly been turned against it by being served with an inferior quality. oil should be sweet and nutty in taste and have most appetizing odor.

room. dining room and kitchen. so ar. ranged as to open one into another. Separate from these are two bed. rooms. a very small hall, and bath room
 The most important feature of tEe floor plan is the large living room, II by 20 feet, together with its large bay window and magnificent fireplace. A built-in seat is planned for the win dow directly in front of the fire.
 The dining room is fl by 12 feet 1T size with a double window and two single windows for light Between the two single windows is built-in combination sideboard and buffet. The woodwork of both these rooms is de- signed to match.
 There is heavy baseboard. crown molding which joints the walls and ceilings of each room. and plate rail in the dining room, all built to match in one general design. The plate rail is a continuation of the cornice at the top of the sideboard. The dining room walls are laiG off in panels sep arated by stiles made to match the moldings.
 The woodwork in the two rooms helps very much both in decorating and in the furnishing, by adopting the builtin furniture idea that has been so elaborately worked out by archi- tects. In this way furniture fits house because it grows in place as it is being built. Designs usually are cut out by machinery in factories and shipped in the knockdown. so that car penters put the different parts togeth- CT across the ends or in the corners of rooms where they are meant to go.
 The kitchen is a model of neatness and perfection in arrangement when taken together with the pantry, the ice box and the rear porch.
 A wall space at the side of the eel. lar stairway gives the proper backing for the sink and kitchen cupboard, with its workable top, which is next to the large window where there is plenty of light. A great deal depends on the laying out of details to make kitchen work easy and attractive. Dark kitchens are not tolerated in these days of white enamel and plenty of daylight.
 This bungalow kitchen is as careful ly arranged and as thoroughly wei! built as any other room in the house, and it is about as attractive, especially at meal time
 Besides other kitchen conveniences there is stairway to the cellar that is wide enough for shelves to hold jars of fruit and ether eatables that may be easily reached without going into the cellar. The cellar stairway door, like other kitchen details, is planned to open the right way for con. yenience

ALSIKE CLOVER IS
 GOOD COVER CROP
Well Adapted to Low, Moist Sail -Is Well-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 a larger yield than if either were sown alone.
 Red clover will seldom produce a 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 3k 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. It is thought best to try this clover SOW one-third alsike and twothirdf red clover to the acre the coming spring and note results

 The little bungalow in the picture has rustic porch built with cobble stones and cement mortar. The floor of the porch and the steps leading up To 1t are smooth concrete with water proof finish, the same as the walk leading in from the street. But rus tic effect is given by the front porch wall and the two solid square but tresses at the corners.
 The porch is rooted by two over hanging projections that are support ed by brackets. The size of the porch is 10 by 16 feet inches, which is quite liberal, even for a bungalow porch. It makes room for considera- ble comfort, which is utilized by pro- viding seats, easy chairs, etc, for use in summer time.
 There is a good cellar the full size of the bungalow, which is divided into compartments by cross walls. The laundry is under the dining room be cause of the rear outside entrance to the cellar at the side of the back porch, also the ground slopes away at this corner, so that deeper windows are used.
 The main part of the cellar is well underground, because the bungalow was designed for a northern city. Lo- cal conditions would naturally make a difference in building the cellar, but to retain the real bungalow effect the ground should be graded up in front to almost meet the clapboards, as shown in the drawing
