ANIPAAl s
SPREAD HOG CHOLERA GERMS
Disease Communicated to Healthy An
imaIs Only by Permitting Germs
to Be Carried to Them.

(By DIR. B. T. sIN1Ms. Oregon Expert
ment Station.)
Hog raisers need to be on the alert
to prevent the introduction and
spread Of the dread disease into their
parts of the state. Since the disease
is due to a germ of microscopic size
it naturally follows that it can be
communicated to we'll hogs only by
permitting the germs to be carried
to them. A knowledge of the differ
ent methods of carrying the germ
from infected hogs to we'll hogs is es'
sential to prevention. Some OF
these methods Of spread are as fol-
lows:
1. BY direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera
2. BY carriers, that Is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera, but still
pass germs with their droppings.
8. By humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or prem
ises.
4. By dogs, coyotes. buzzards and
other carrion-eating animals that have
fed on the carcasses of infected hogs.
5. By stock cars, stock yards, etc.,
in which have been placed infected
hogs.
6. By infected water.
z. By slops, swill and garbage that
have been infected with bacon rinds
or ham bones from hogs that had
been afflicted with cholera at slaugh-
ter.
Germs will ordinarily die out in four
months in lot conditions, but are so
resistant that they survive the usual
curing and packing process as carried
on in the big packing houses. After
they have once found lodgment in
the hog there is no remedy known but
hog cholera serum. Growers should
therefore take every precaution to see
that germs do not enter their herds
by any of the foregoing means.

MAKE CONCRETE STOCK TANK
Directions for Making and Illustration
Of Receptacle for Water-Neces-
sity on Any Farm.

Here is little cross-section sketch
Of concrete stock tank completed
just recently. I made the forms, inside
and out, Of 1 by 6 inch matched
yellow pine boards, with two-inch
cleats about two feet apart, greas-
ing the forms with machine oil, writes
Ernest Heuer in Farmers Review.
Where we wanted the tank to stand
We filed in the ground with an eight
inch base of cinders. On this we put
up the outside form. Then we were
ready for the concrete.
The bottom Is eight inches thick Of
1-2-4 concrete. For tails and walls

NO PLACE FOR COUNTERFEITs
Difficulty of RepIenishine and Starting
Herds With Coed Animals Wor-
ries Dairy Farmer.

The development CT the increasing
demand for well-bred dairy cattle is
based upon the recognition Of the fact
that under present production condi-
tions, the counterfeit dairy COW has no
place on the pasture or in the feed
yard.
During the past few years, difficulty
in replenishing and starting herds
with good animals has confronted the

Concrete Water Tank.

After the bottom had become some
what stiff we put in the inside form
and began filling the sides. For these
we used richer concrete, 1-1h-3.
The whole tank is REINFORCED, as
shown in the sketch, with good hog
wire, No. 8, with stays six inches
apart. Around in the top put square
twisted halfinch steel rods.
After two days took off the form.
Then I mixed cement and water to
the thickness Of cream and with a
whitewash brush I painted the whole
tank two or three times over till all
holes and uneven spots were filed

Care of Calf After Weanina.

Make sure that the calf does not
get to the COW again, once it is sepa-
rated from her and put on the skim
milk diet, as it will tend to spoil, not
only the calf, but will cause the COW
to worry after the calf and reduce her
milk flow.

Leave Calf With Cow.

1t is a good practice to let the calf
suck the COW for about forty-eight
hours after birth, after which it should
be taken from it's mother. In the case
Of weak calf, however, it is better
to let it remain two or three days
longer.

WILL AEROPLANES STOP WAR
OrrViIIe Wright is Moved to say he
Likes TO Think So,
Anyhow.

Did YOU ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other The reason. as figure II out,
is aeroplanes 0ryille Wright writes

scouting work done by the flying ma

the opposition forces are doing
There IS little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge Of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow. tedious routine rather
than by quick spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected it to be a matter of few
weeks or. at most a few months. Today
1t looks as If it might run into years
before one side can dictate terms.
Now. a nation that may be willing to
undertake a war lasting few months

one that will occupy years.

FAVOR CORNELL
 TO GRAB FIRST
 IN TRACK MEET

New York May 10.-With the sew eral dual college track and field meets iSa turday furnishing keener and bet ter competition than has been the case in some time, indications point to the intercollegiate championship meet this season being the best ever held. Ex- perts would not be surprised to see several records go by the board when the college athletes meet on Franklin Field late this month.
 Although Cornell was rather hard pressed to defeat Harvard in the dual meet Saturday, the Ithacans are still athletics as .likely winners of the in .tercolegiate title. The up-Staters have a team made up largely of vet erans on which to rely, and in addt- ton they have one of the best per formers in college atheltics in Alma Richards.
 Richards will be a new man for Cor nell in the intercollegiate this year and students at the upstate college are looking forward to seeing him car ry off prizes in several events. He is a versatile athlete, as he showed at Camb bridge Saturday, when he cap
 tured first place in three events. He
 won the running high jump, running
 broad jump and shot-put. But Cornell will have Harvard to reckon with in. the interco coIIegiates and Yale showed a team at Princeton that
 may prove troublesome. Pennsylvania also has a strong team and Rartmouth likely to count well in the point scoring. Altogether, the Franklin Field meet this month promises to- be-~e even more closely contested than were the Penn relay championships.
