GRAIN TO THRESH
SEED CORN SCARCE

Pierre, Oct pa million and a
half ceres of small grain yet in the
shock, waiting the coming of thr esh-
ers, is the estimate of Doane Rob-
inson, of the state historical society
after a ten DAYS tour of the eastern
part of the state. That this can be
all saved before snow is considered
hardly possible, unless the fall
weather should continue to a late
date. He also estimates that there
will be a hundred million bushels of
soft corn in the state this fall, with
not anywhere near enough live stock
to feed it to. The seed corn pro-
blem in his estimation is a serious
one for the northwest for next year,
and he urges every farmer who has
raised any corn which is mature
enough for seed to make every pos
sible effort to secure it in shape for
seeding, with all the indications that
every bushel of corn which is good
for seed will easily bring five dollars
next spring. Out side his state
ments. seed men are now offering
$3.50 a bushel for all seed corn
which they can secure this month
which gives assurance to the pos
sible price for next spring. The
agricultural college holds that corn
which matured before the early
frosts, while it may shrink in the
drying. will vet be fertile seed corn.
AS the late rains keep the corn
stalks full of moisture even after
the husks begun to dry the cobs
were filled with moisture, and in
drying will show shrinkage even in
case of good seed corn.

rooters, came to Miller last Satur-
day for a return game with the To-
Gals and returned home with the
small end of a 10 to 2 score, The
game was called at 2:30 o'clock on
the field in Coqulllette's addition.
fhe day was ideal for football and
the side lines were crowded with
enthusiastic spectators.
The game opened with Miller de.
Tending the south goal, and in the
first few minutes of play Faulkton
succeeded in driving Miller down
the field within a few feet of her
goal. In the next play a local man
was downed back of Miller's goa
and Faulkton was given two points
on the PLAY. Before the end of the
first quarter Miller made a touch
down and kicked goal. In the Sec
ond quarter the ball seesawed back
and forth across the field with
neither side scoring. Miller made
a touchdown in the 3rd and also the
4th, but failed to kick goal in each
instance.
The teams were apparently quite

INQUEST ON BABY
FOUND ON TRACK
COrOner's Jury Thinks Body
Dropped From Train

County Coroner Wallis held an
inquest Thursday on the remains Of
the baby found on the G. & N. w.,
railroad track west of town. The
testimony developed the suppositIon
that the body had laid upon the
track three or four days. 1t was
discovered Wednesday by a man
walking on the track between Miller
and Rec Heights.
The testimony of section men on
the railroad, and others who had
examined the track for a mile or
two was taken. ard the coroner's
jury composed of j. w. Helhbridle,
G. H. Carroll, Thos. Teller, found
that the body of the infant had been
dropped from an east bound train,
on Sunday or Monday by some per-
son unknown-probably some man
with a grip in his possession.
This conclusion was arrived at be.
cause the coarse sheeting found
along the track was a mile or so
east of where the baby was found.
The sheeting, or bed clothing, dis
coiored by blood. was not that of a
Pullman. but was probably taken
from some hotel or boarding house
where the birth had occurred. If
this surmise is correct. these clothes
together with the body of the
strangied infant, were probably
taken onto the train in a grip, and
while it was still dark. about
600 o'clock. were cast out If the
moving train, the body first. follow
ed shortly by the bed clothing.
Possibly the origin Of this crime
could be traced to some town within
a 100 miles or so west-but in all
probability no one will ever pay any
further attention to it.

PROTECT HOGS
FROM CHOLERA
Recommendations From Experts
on Hog Cholera

Don't assume there has been less
hog cholera this year than last. that
this arch enemy of the farmer has
been vanquished. He is only sleep.
ing. Here and there through the
land spasmodic outbreaks Of chlorea
are appearing. The green corr sea.
season is at hand, when the digestive
apparatus of hogs is disturbed and
they become more subject to an at
tack of cholera.
Hog chlorea is like fire. It's visits
are u%nannounced and unexpected.
You pay insurance money to pro-
tect you against fire loss and you do
not wait until your buildings start
to burn before finding an insurance
agent. You anticipate the POSSIBLE
ity Of such a loss and protect your
self with an insurance policy.
Several years ago the annual hog
cholera loss vas n to stagger the
human mind. The loss mounted
way up into the millions of dollars
annually. Scientists began to de-
vote their time to study and they
discovered that hog cholera was a
scourge similar to typhoid fever in
the human body. and that it was
caused by the existence of a germ
in the blood of the hog. The germ
was shown to be easily transferred
from M point to another. subject
ing every head in the neighborhood
for miles around to the disease.
While scientists succeeded in discover
ing the nature of the cholera germ,
all they know is that it is a living
organism capable of growing and
reproducing within the system of
diseased hog. They discovered that
this organism could not be killed by
ordinary antiseptics, that it lived
for many months in refuse around
the ward. in fact. they learned that
it was a most elusive germ to fight.
After many experiments it was
found that the only way to beat this
germ was to render the hog immune
from its attack by the process of
vaccination as human beings have
been rendered immune from the at
tack of smallpox. and as they are
now being rendered immune from
typhoid by vaccination.
Thus developed the hog cholera
serum.
Hog cholera virus is blood from
diseased hogs containing the active
virulent hog cholera germs. The
injection of just the serum is a pre-
ventitive measure which renders the
hog immune for about a month or
six weeks. The proper injection of
virus and serum at the same time, is
known as the double treatment and
renders him immune throughout his
life.
The only way to insure against the
attack of hog cholera is the use of
good serum and virus. and that
serum is not a cure for sick hogs.
but a preventive which should be
given to hogs before they are expos
ed to the disease. The time to vac
cinate hogs is before they are sick.
1t this cannot be done, vaccinate as
early as possible after they show
signs of sickness. The earlier they
are vaccinated the smaller the loss
will be. Serum Is The Best Insur-
ance.

South Wants Belgium Farmers.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 2T.-At an Inn
migration conference here n OF the
principal questions was that of meth
DDS of encouraging Belgian farmers 20
locate In Georgia.
This Is not the beginning of such a
movement in Georgia nor In the south.
II was started several months ago,
with the result hat there are now sew
eral colonies of Belgian truck farmers
in southern Georgia. Similar move
ments have been started In other
states. notably in North Carolina,
where there are one or two colonies or
Belgians.
This demand for Belgians is due to
two causes-first, the south entertains
a profound sympathy for the Belgians
in the plight the war has brought upon
them; second, the great need of the
south is for farmers, capable of doing
Intensified farming. to settle upon
waste tracts of uncultivated farm
lands in Dixie.
There are now in Georgia at least
two concrete propositions which will
be made to Belgians.
One is the settlement OF a tract Of
some LOO acres OF farm land In
Lowndes county. Upon showing that
families desiring to settle on this land
are reliable people 1t Is stated that all
financial arrangements will be made
for them. including transportation.
Part of the land is wooded, and Bel
CLANS settling there will be paid for
clearing this land. There is a COM
munity store. at which credit will be
extended to those filling lands on this
tract. Options will be given on these
lands at their present price. There Is
a similar plan for settling a large tract
of land in Jones county, near Macon.
where fifty farmhouses lave already
been built.

Colonel Reber says that San Diego,

There is need of more aviators for
army work. The machines can be
turned out whenever necessary. To
furnish pilots in event of war is the
difficulty.
The law under which the aviation
corps has been organized provides that
army a~viators must be l~ieutenants, I'M
married and less than thirty years OF
age. except that twelve noncomInis-
stoned officers may take up this work.
But the number Of lieutenants who
meet these requirements Is limited.
Whether the army will take up the
matter of dirigible balloons Is q ques-
ton. General Scriven from the state
ments which he made last fall before
the house committee on military ar
fairs does not believe much in them; ne
prefers the aeroplane. Other officers.
however, favor the Zeppelin type of
dirigible. while still others believe in
the nonrigid type. At present there Is
no money available for dirigibles for
the army.
The navy, however, has placed a con-
tract for a small dirigible of the non
rigid type. This Is approved by those
familiar with the situation, who think
it would be d mistake to attempt 20
build a large dirigible under present
conditions.
