Now if we met the commander-in.

". X. c. and Commercial club of Rapid
City ample time to complete arrange
ments. There is a movement in pro

Many Attend Cholera Schools.
Brookings.-About 125 farmers have
ing the summer, fall and winter as
conducted by the state live stock san.
itary board. The most recent school
was held last week at Madison. The
value of these schools to the South
Dakota swine breeders is almost in.
calculable, and the work of Hon.
Frank r. Cock, secretary of the board
and Or. G. G. Lipp, veterinarian at the
state college, who conducts the
schools. is certain to make for a great
saving in the breeding of hogs. South
Dakota farmers can ill afford to allow
hog cholera to rob them of $4,000. 600
worth OF hogs another season. The
method of conducting the schools is as
follows: First the class is organized
n the James of those in regular at.
tendance are taken to be sent to the
office of the live stock sanitary board.
Those who have attended all the SEES.
sions of the school farm or farms. At
each school DIR. Lipp has given a series
Of six lectures and a demonstration,
and farmers attending nave taken co
piOus notes. These lectures cover the
following points: The cause of hoe
cholera; mean by which cholera is
spread: the prevention of cholera with.
out the use of serum, through santa.
ton, quarantine, isolation, disinfec
ton, balanced rations, ETC., (as much
emphasis being placed upon p%reventa.
tive measures as upon ~vaccination):
symptoms of cholera; use of the Their
mometer in detecting infected ami
mails; post norton appearances OF
hogs dead of cholera; production and
testing of serum; production of virus;
difference between serum and virus;
under what conditions should serum
/; alone be used; wnen is it best to use
the double treatment; when is it best
to use the single treatment followed
by the double treatment; instruments
needed for vaccination; sterilizing o1
Instruments; ~disinfecting the skin;
best location for injection; and hold.
ing the hogs for injection. The lee
lures are followed by a demonstration
Of actual vaccination of hogs, with
instruction IN the proper care of the
animals after vaccination. Questions
n quizes are frequent. Four OF
these schools have been held this year
at Mitchell. Redfield, Aberdeen anG
Madison. They are absolutely free Of
| charge to those attending, there being
no tuition or other fees CONNECTED
with them. To make them fully eff
f~ective, it is expected that the county
agent, the Commercial club or some
other organization will give due pub
licity, furnish meeting place, and look
after the necessary preliminary de
tails. It is quite probable that one OF
more schools will yet be held this
winter, but the location has not been
announced. No farmer can afford tc
neglect an opportunity of attending
the lectures and demonstrations when
m of these schools is held in his vi.

tural Editor, State College.
