One hundred nine hogs treated af-
ter disease appeared, 35 died.
One hundred twenty hogs treated
after disease appeared, IL died.
It is not easy to find, on the other
hand, case in which deaths occurred
where hogs had been treated before
the disease appeared, or upon it's first
appearance.
In gathering his reports from
farmers, Mr.. Neil has received many
characteristic answers and these
answers accord with the above facts
taken from Mr.. Neil's report.
The Farmers Reports
A farmer near Redwood Falls says:
II didn't lose any hogs that were
well when vaccinated, and lost five
out of a bunch of sick ones that were
vaccinated. am convinced that we
must vaccinate in case Of cholera if
we expect to save our hogs"
A Milroy farmer reports: II am
well satisfied with vaccination. / had
16 hogs vaccinated and they were
pretty sick at the time, but I did not
lose one"
A farmer near Wabasso, who
speaks from a three years experience
with hog cholera, says: 'This last
summer | tried the single treatment
and it proved absolutely satisfactory.
/ had 65 hogs vaccinated and lost
only five of them and these were
badly affected at the time of vac
cination."
Another Milroy man says: 81 did
not lose any of my herd of 10 head,
and, furthermore, think they did
better after vaccination than they did
before, SO for my part I think Vac
cination is the only thing"
One of Walnut Groves farmers re-
ports: "Have 81 hogs now, all well.
After treating lost one that had
been treated and four that had been
too sick to treat. think the treat
ment was a complete success"
Another farmer writes: 81 believe
the expense has been offset many
times by holding the cholera in
check"
It is impossible to give the actual
number of hogs saved from death by
the campaign in Redwood County, but
when treatment before infection be-
gins reduces the rate Of loss from
| something like per cent to less than
L per cent, it is surrey time for the
man raising hogs to be over careful
before doubling the vaccination
method, and it should be remembered
that such campaigns would not be
possible without some one to plar
and execute them.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

Crowded out last week
A merry crowd of freshmen and
teachers, about forty-fve in all, went
out in three bob sleds last Friday
evening to Esther Smiths home.
They spent the evening in playing
games and pulling taffy. The chief
amusement was the fact that one sled
tipped over in the snow while re-
turning to town. The contents were
spilled of course.
The men of the faculty entertained
the ladies last Tuesday night with
a sleigh ride and oyster supper.
The Boys Club Of the high school
was well represented at the Y. M.
G. A. Convention held in Mankato
last Friday and Saturday Oliver
Steele, Wallace Stewart, Max Stev-
ems, Albert Mielcke, Andy Luscher
and Mr.. Jordan were present. Oliver
and Wallace went on to Mortified
to visit Carlton College to aid them
in planning for their entrance in that
school next September.
Remember the Latin play is being
worked up in splendid style. 1t will
be quaint and Interesting to an un-
usual degree. Watch for the date.
Fred Podoll visited high school last
Friday.
Stewart Mckay was out Of school
last week because Of illness.
Josephine, Majorie and Anna Lutz

Report Made Of
Fight Against
Hog Cholera Here
Only 3.6 Per Cent of Animals Treated
For Cholera Die; Report Made By
State Officials

Hog cholera has lost its terrors to-
many of the farmers in Minnesota.
The campaign waged against the di-
sease last summer and fall has shown
.conclusively that cholera can be held
in check.
Redwood County has. had this prob
lem worked out to the general satisfac-
ton of its people. Under the man
agement of j. E. Neil, county agri-
cultural agent, constant warfare
was kept up against the disease last
summer and fall with exceptional re-
suits.
In all 2259 hogs were given either
the double or single treatment. Out
of this number only SO hogs died, or
about 3.6 per cent. Considering the
fact that many of the hogs were al
ready i'll when the treatment was
administered, this is an astonishingly
low death rate. Where the hogs were
we'll when treated, the death rate was
reduced to an almost negligible fig
ure, of 1,347 well hogs treated only
IL died, Or about g of l per cent.
Of 982 sick hogs treated, II died, or
about per cent.
Only one conclusion is to be drawn
from this: that to get the best re-
suits from anti-cholera treatment
when there is cholera in ones neigh
borhood, with danger of infection,
one should have his hogs treated with
out waiting Or be ready to have them
treated upon the first signs of sick
ness.
Mr.. NeiPs Report
This statement regarding the treat
ment of well hogs and their immunity
against attack, is borne out by the
tabulated report made by Mr.. Neil.
Wherever treatment was administered
the hogs seemed to escape the di-
sease, though cholera was prevalent
in other parts of the county. On the
other hand, when treatment was not
administered until several days after
the disease appeared in herd, there
was nearly always a considerable
death rate. Reports from herds among
which sickness existed too long be-
fore treatment was administered rur
like this:
Eight hogs, treated after sickness
appeared in herd, number of deaths 7

EXPECTS MORE ARRESTS
In CLARK STATION CASE
Mackey Believes Greek and Turk Not
Only Men Connected with Hughes
Murder Mystery.

Additional arrests in connection with
the Clark Station, Va, murder mystery
case are expected to be made in New
York within the next few days. This
announcement was made last night by
Crandal Mackey. Commemorative at
torney for Alexandria County, Va, who
returned yesterday from the metrop-
oils.
While Mr.. Mackey would not dis
cuss the reasons for the additional
arrests, he intimated that others were
responsible for the double murder and
the fierce assault on Mrs. Matte a.
Hughes on January 10. Mr.. Mackey
still is certain that Michael Volidi and
Spiro de Bono, the Turk and Greek
under arrest in New York, are the
persons who slew Isaac Waldrop and
Nicholas Coffinas.
1t is understood they will fight ex-
tradition, but Mr.. Mackey feels GER
tain the governor Immediately will or
der the surrender of the prisoners.
and it is possible the prisoners will
be transferred to, Virginia this after
noon.

QUALITY AND VARIETY
In NEW DISC RECORDS
Fine February Offering. with Mid.
winter Song Hits
a-Plenty.

The announcement Of records by Nine
Eleonora de Cisneros. an American by
birth and native of the Empire State. is
certain to interest the American music
public. Nine. Cisneros has the proud dis
tincton of being the first American
woman to make her debut in the Metro
politan Opera House without musical
training abroad. She is a mezzo-soprano
of extraordinary talent. When one con-
siders the remarkable range of voice
from low G to c sharp in aIt-the diver
sity of roles she may sing gives her q
covetable advantage.
To New Workers Mime Cisneros is
known not only through her debut in
the Metropolitan Opera House. but also
through her very active participation in
the several seasons of opera conducted by
Oscar Hammerstein at the Manhattan
Opera House.
Morgan Kingston, the Welsh tenor. who
has just closed his operatic season. and
who. il is understood. will shortly appear
in concert, sings two popular ballads.
One of them, Tennysons Come Into the
Garden, Maud" with music by the COM
poser of THE Bohemian Girl"-MichaeI
William Balfe-needs no further recon-
mendatiOn. Coupled with this is Tosti's
Parted" Both of these numbers are
admirably suited 10 Mr.. Kingston's voice
and he sings them with all the feeling
and sentiment that they invoke.
Master ManOlitO Fumes, the twelve
year-old pianist, who has gained con-
spicuous recognition on both sides of
the water, has been engaged by the
Columbia Company. His first record
comprising Chaminade's "Arleuuine"
and The Whispering Wind" by VOL
ienhaupL This latter selection is, in
many respects, the best piano record
so far issued. not only from the stand
point OF Interpretation and beautiful
singing tone, but also from that of
scientifically perfect recording. He is
prodigy" but not in the generally
accepted sense of the word.
The list of recorded selections for the
month of February embrace many mid
winter song bits. Love Moon" from
Ivan CarylTs ''Chin-Chin'' as presented
by Montgomery and Stone in the big
Broadway success, is TO be found here
Also when You're Away" from The
Only Girl" Victor Herbert's latest tri-
umph and many other popular songs
OF the season.
There is also listed a particularly
pleasing recording by the Wellesley
College Glee Club.
Not the least important, though in
lighter vein. are the six double-disc
dance records. All doubts as to the
continued POPULARITY of dancing in
America have ben cffeCI1ally dissi-
pated by the fact that the demand for
dance music is steadily increasing.
The one-step is presented by four
most attractive numbers. The waltz
and the Seasons most popular dance
the fox trot-are admirably repre-
sented as well.
