There were sown in the Frankfort
nursery twelve seed beds 24x4 feet,
with the following species: Chestnut,
red oak, black walnut, pin oak, yellow
poplar, shell bark hickory, sugar ma.
pie, white ash. Each spring and fall
sees the capacity of the nurseries very
materially increased.
The varieties which have been
planted in the nurseries have been
with the exception of some species
with which 1t was decided to expert

tive Kentucky trees of special COM
mercial Importance. Just what num-
Der of seedlings will be available this
fall for distribution and sale it is i'm
possible at this time to determine on
account of the earliness of the season.
The seed beds were very materially
increased within the year. One fea-
ture of the nursery work at Louisville
was the planting of one-half bushel of
apple seed. 1t is eventually expected
that the Louisville nursery will be
able to furnish apple stock of stand
ard variety to individuals around the
State and that the orcharding which is
becoming a feature of agricultural
work in Kentucky will in this way be
materially assisted. Also the nursery
is experimenting with varieties Of wal.
nuts, chestnut, pecans and other nut
trees which produce commercial or
chards.

Precautionary Measures To Be
Employed At Time Of Vaccinating
Hogs.

A~AAPAOl ~ At ANN Va VaSSALldtAuk
Hogs.
When shotes or pigs are heavily
infested with worms, vaccination
may result in considerable loss.
Hogs that are excessively fat are
not as good risks for vaccination
as animals in medium condition.
Farmers must provide proper
care of hogs before and after
treatment to reduce the risk to a
minimum. Many of the undesir-
able results following vaccination
are due to the condition of the
hogs, or to the surroundings I'M
der which they are kept. These
factors are in a majority of in
stances under the control of the
owner.
The following points in hog
management should be carefully
considered;
Ascertain beyond a doubt
whether or not cholera is present
in the herd.
Animals stand the excitement
and shock of vaccination better
if the intestinal tract is empty:
if free from parasites; if in medi-
UNI flesh; if kept cool during the
operation and confined in clean,
disinfected stall, bedded with
straw while awaiting the injec-
ton of serum.
The point of incubation must
be thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected. The animals must not
be allowed access to dirty, filthy
wallows before or after treat
ment. 1t is impossible to clean
a dirty hog with a small amount
OF antiseptic so that serum can
be injected with any degree of
cleanliness. Assesses are most
often the results of the filthiness
Of the hogs and not to any fault
of the operator who employs pro.
per precautions with his syringe
and serum.
There must be a clean, dust
free enclosure for the hogs at the
time of incubation.
Following vaccination hogs
must be kept in clean quarters
for at least two days. Dirty
wallows should be avoided. A
good plan is to keep hogs IN a
well bedded stable. The feed
should be laxative in nature.
Losses sometimes follow vacci-
nation in the winter months be-
cause animals are placed in damp,
filthy quarters.
Great care is employed in pre-
pairing pure, potent serum.
There is little risk in injecting
good serum into hogs that are
properly prepared for the oper'
alton and properly cared for fol-
lowing it.
In summing up the factor:
which contribute to Irregularities
it has been observed that in 6
great many herds the owner is
negligent in providing the carr
necessary before and after treat
ment, especially those essentials
herein mentioned.
