HOG CHOLERA AND
HOW TO CONTROL 1T

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
fcction 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law should be repealed and the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 un ,..~~J ..n cloth
ing to other premises where
healthy hogs are confr ed. 1t
should be remembered that dis
charges from hogs infected with
cholera are very infectious, and
the owners should not 90 or allow
any of their help to go on prem
lses where there are sick hogs.
Neither should they allow their
nelghbors 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 Il 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 It 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 carcasscs is
strictly enforced.

RAGGING GRAPES.

Grapes can be grown in almost
any section of South Carolina.
After the grapes have set, they
should be sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture (see circular No. 25 is
sued by Clemson College,, and
then be baggcd to protect them
from disease, birds and bees. Bag
glng also prolongs the ripening
season ani after ripcning the
grapes will hang on the vines for
Il longer time without spoilinp.
Strong Manila paper bags (sizes
No. 2 and No. y should be used
so as TO resist the weather and the
sharp beaks of birds.
The bag should be slipped over
the bunch and pinned or wired
closely about the stem. 4 pin hole
IN the bottom of the bag will
drain off the rain water.
An inexperienced hand can put
on 800 bags a day. and an eXpe-
ricnccd worker 1000. 1t will pay
you to bag your grapes.

The enrolment has grown from
446 students in 1898 to 834. Orig
inallv there were but two courses
of study-now there are I3. In
addition to these regular degree
courses, there is a four weeks
course for farmers and a one-ses-
sion practical agricultural course
extending from October l to June
for men over IS.
Public Service.
But the trustees Of Clemson
College have not only organized
an efficient system of fertilizer in
spcction and analysis, by which
the farmer gets value received
from the tax he pays. and built
and maintained a great agricul-
tural and mechanical college, but
they have gone step farther than
is required by their compact with
the people and have sought to re-
turn to those who pay the tax in
the shape of direct service, all that
could be spared over and above
the cost Of operation and build
ing. The public service has grown
as the fertilizer tax has grown,
now reaching an annual total of
over 100000.
Clemson College, with its plant
we'll developed. its patronage as
surcd and ovcrllowing, its lines Of
public service popular and eff
cicnt. has behind it ii. crcditable
record of achievement. and before
it future bright with the prom
isc of usefulness to South Caro-
lima.

A Stored Spot.
Clemson College is unique
blending of the old and the new.
Of the historic with the now. just
across the road from the cadet
dormtoricS. which every session
house over 500 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 columncd
mansion Of the illustrious John
{. Calhoun. One can lmOst pic
turc the great statesman, as with
hands behind him he PAGES the
avenues of cedar and oak. putting
into form those matchlcsS ideals
of patriotism whose fulfillment he
never lived to see.
About 80 yards to the rear of
the mansion is queer little one
story room structure with col
umncd 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 ''up coun-
try" has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to Justify such ample
storage.
In the old mansion are many
historic relics. including chair
used by Gen. George Washington,
and a sevcn-foot mohair-covercd
lounge on the back of which is
carved the American eagle. 1t is
said that the engraving on our
coins was copied from this cary
ing.
The old mansion with its his
toric memories. the peer of the
Hermitage, Mount Vernon and
Monticello, is a priceless State and
national asset. and should be a
perennial source of inspiration to
succeeding generations of young
South Carolinians who are priv
ilcgcd to live for four years in the
shadow Of its 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. &. 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 MIR.

of the college is too long to be told

BY JUDGE HENRY NEIL
(Father of Mothers Pensions)
Mrs. Gardar had the vote at last.
The whole state appeared to be re-
joicing because Illinois had given
women the right to vote and Mrs.
Gardar, born and educated in Chi
cago, was among those raised to citi-
zenship by an act of the legislature
passed in the last few days Of a fren-
zied session.
Besides the vote. Mrs. Gardar was
in possession of four small children
and a husband, The husband was
some of the time in the asylum. He
was magnificent man so far as ply
steal parts go, but he was possessed
of the opinion that he was heir to the
throne of the German empire. He
had written book about it and had
all the evidence to prove to any rea-
sonable person that Mrs. Gardar and
the children should be living in a Ber-
in palace.
Being heir to the throne and being
called by his duty to the German peo-
pie, he of course had no time to work
FOR a living. Mrs. Gardar, like some
others, thought he was a bit crazy
and the officers often locked him up.
The children and their mother were
always in poverty. They we're the
alleged benefciaries of professional
charity. Many good jobs of scrubbtng
and washing dishes in cheap restaur-
anst were obtained for Mrs. Gardar
by the thoughtful charity people. One
charity lady even had Mrs. Gardar
work in her basement. leaving the lit
lie Gardars to run at large.
Often Mrs. Gardar was late at the
charity lady's house and the kind
charity lady lectured her on prompt
ness and threatened to have the chill
dren removed to an aswlUm. if their
mother was not more punctuaL
Things were going from bad to
