TAKE TEMPERATURES.

When vaccinating herds that are al
ready infected with cholera, the talk
ing of temperatures is of the utmost
Importance. An infected hog will
carry a high temperature from three
to five days before showing any signs
of sickness. Where cholera has exist
ed in herd for a week or longer,
three-fourths of the hogs may show a
high temperature, although to all ap-
pearances they may be perfectly we'll.
These hogs should receive a large dose
of serum-from so to 100 per cent in
crease over the dose for a we'll hog.
They do not need any virus, although a
dose will do no harm. All of these
hogs should be marked either with a
nose ring in the ear or by clipping
across the bristles with a pair of
shears. The man who does not have
time to do these things has no bust
ness vaccinating hogs. Not only will
heavy losses follow his work. but he
helps to discredit the value of the
serum treatment in his community.

CARE OF BROOD soWs.


Says George P. Lillard in Campbell's
Scientific Farmer:
Intelligence. expert knowledge, per.

with fondness for the work, are in.
dispensable to maximum success in

raising Is no exception.
A very eminent man was asked at
what age the education of a child
should begin. and his reply was. BE

You will readily make the applica-
tion. The profitable brood SOW must
bring two litters a year, In the neigh.
borhood of q dozen robust, healthy
pigs. and to do this she must be up to
the maximum in strength and consti-
tutional vigor. It being impossible to
produce such an animal in one genera.

In her ancestry. Starting. then, with
the carefully selected pigs that you In.
tend to feed and condition for brood
sows, your success is contingent on
the measure Of your intelligence, dill.
gence and preparedness.
Comfortable quarters must be pro.
vided. An abundance Of shade and
pure water are an absolute necessity
during the summer months. while
warm sheds or portable A-shaped
houses that will furnish ample protec.

IT WAS WORTH THE WAR.

However the war may result for Rus
sia, there seems to be a conclusion
among the leading journals that one
result already attained is worth the
cost of the war in blood and treasure.
Since the Punishment Of vodka Mos.
COW reports for the first month of the
ban a decrease of SAT- per cent In
criminal cases. In the county of Mos.
COW the decrease has not been so
large, though the proportion stands SO
to 160. Enforcement of the law, 1t is
asserted, Is harder in the country than
in the city. an opposite condition to
that which obtains in this country.
The Novoye Vremya, the leading
newspaper of Petrograd. and thus of
all Russia, commenting upon the re-
suits of the short period of prohibition
Of alcoholic beverages, says:
"The experiment of the last few
weeks has shown that If the treasury
loses something because of the ceas-
ling Of drunkenness, the people gain
enormous and priceless advantages.
From all sides comes kilograms
and letters describing the wonderful
transformation of life Of the people.
the extreme decrease of crime. Deten-
tion houses and jails. police courts and
Hofflces Of examining magistrates are
empty. Hooliganism in some localities
disappeared entirely, street begging
has been considerably reduced. Cities
and villages have assumed a quiet
appearance. Temperance has in.
fused modesty and serious dignity into
the conduct of the people. If we are
now more or less certain of the out
come of the war, we owe It first Of all
to the excellent order with which the
mobilization has been completed. This
order would not have prevailed had
the liquor shops been open. Recall to
mind how In the Manchurian war the
ireservists we're called to the colors
their march was accompanied by the
destruction Of villages. railroad sta
tions. and even towns, and it was nee
essary to subdue the rioters by armed

BUSINESS LARGE AND SMALL.

"A FERGUS county FARMER COutTlO'
utes the following to the Northwest
Stockman and Farmer:
At the meeting of the American So
ciety of Equity held in the city of
Lewistown there was introduced from
the platform of the Judith theater by
B. C. White. chairman, men who rep
resented both large and small busi-
ness. This meeting, taken from the
business standpoint, was, in the opin-
ion of the writer. one Of the most i'm
portant movements ever inaugurated
in Fergus county. There was evi-
denced at this meeting some hostility
toward the farming class and vice
versa. Now understand the writer to
be an advocate of cooperation, but not
cooperation as advocated by few Of
our doorstep agitators. Believing as
do, and am inclined to the idea that
a major portion Of my farmer brothers
are Of the same belief. in justice to all
organizations our prejudices should be
concealed until such time as we may
proclaim to the world that we are all
brothers.
With due respect to each of the
speakers presenting their sentiments
at the meeting, think that some of
the ideas advocated by different ones
there should be acted upon in a very
busineSslike and cOnsiderate manner
Otherwise discordant relations will be
the result. There was evidence that
some mistrusted big business and also
that others cared not for small busi-
ness. They must of necessity go hand
in hand. 1t is one of Gods laws that
they shall exist. Our commercial or
ganizations. likewise our farmers,
must join hands in a concentrated ef-
fort for the upbuilding of our great and
grand country. In justice to our boys
and girls to whom we shall soon con-
be conservators, we must consolidate
path behind us.
Why should big business not work
in harmony with small business
Why should the writer antagonize
large interests? Is not his great am.
bition success?
Why not, Mr.. Farmer, help big busi-
ness to build manufacturing plants.
packing houses, mills, creameries, etc.
Do not infer from this that I am for
allowing him to be too oppressive in
his demands. If such demands be
made. we shall in due time collectively
own all of the industries that may be
of such benefit to us.
Why not, Mr.. Businessman, show
mercy on small businesses and allow a
legitimate margin of profit? Why not
stamp the approval of your organiza
tion upon the petition Of the farmer
for legislation vitality efRecting his
business. more and better schools, tele
