Cement is coming to be used more
and more for construction work on
the farm. This is only in keeping with
progress made in concrete construc-
tion along other lines. A great many
objections are made to concrete as a
suitable material for silo construction.
Besides a number of others, the fol-
lowing are some of the most common:
Concrete walls allow mold and decay
around the walls, are affected by the
acid Of silage, and they cannot be
built to keep them from cracking and
thus leak air. Observation of concrete
and stave silos standing side by side
shows that the freezing is no greater
in one than the other. BY coating the
walls with wash of neat cement or
tar pitch they can be made perfectly
air, water and acid proof. If properly

George Johnson narrowly escaped
death last Friday morning, when he
was attacked by a COW. He was re
moving the calf to a near by shed
when the COW became enraged and
made an attack on him. In trying to
escape, his arm became entangled in
a strap with which the cow was tied
and the animal gored him severely
about the head and shoulders. Mr..
Johnson is able to be up and about,

TO KEEP ENSILAGE
IN COLD WEATHER
Blanket or Old Carpet Spread
Over Top Retains Heat and
Keeps Out Cold.

During the extreme cold weather
last winter many complaints were
made by farmers on account of the
ensilage freezing in their silos. Some
of the silos had a ring of frozen en-
sllage a foot or more thick and sew
eral feet high all around the inside.
Then, when they wanted to remove a
door, they had to pick the ensilage
away, which was quite a job.
> To overcome this freezing, measures
must be taken as soon as the frost
appears in the silo. BY digging the
ensilage away from the walls and
piling 1t In the center helps to some
extent, as there is more heat in the
center. When extreme winter sets in
1t is good plan to keep the ensiiage
lower at the walls and throw all froz-
en- ensilage in the center. Then spread
thick blanket or old carpet over the
top.
This covering retains the heat and
keeps out the cold air, thus making Il
much nicer to feed.

nization. Other conditions being equal.
the more virulent the virus, the more
potent will be the serum. Nothing but
the strongest virus possible should
ever be used Strains of virus that
will produce fever and fatal sickness
In seven to eight days are much pre-
ferable to those that require an incu-
baton of eight to ten days. The usual
amount of virus injected at one time,
when injected into the veins Of the
immune, is six cubic centimeters for
each pound of body weight. If less
than this is used, the serum will be
apt to be low in potency. The first
and second bleedings are of stronger
potency than the third bleeding. In
practice, equal parts of first, second
and third should be mixed for the
proper production of serum. Not more
than six cubic centimeters of blood
at any one time should be bled from
the hyperimmune for each pound OF
body weight. The method of bleeding,
whether from the tail until clipped too
short for further use and neck at the
final bleeding or from but one bleeding
at the neck as practiced by some serum
companies, will not produce any differ
ence in the potency or in the amount
of foreign bacteria, provided that
proper methods of sterilization are en-
ployed
No virus should be used that is bled
from hogs that show LESSONS of other
diseases other than acute cholera.
Each virus hog should be carefully ex-
amined after bleeding. The amount OF
bacteria, and especially the number Of
pathogenic bacteria, is due to the meth
DDS of sterilization used. Each hog
should be carefully cleaned and disin-
fected, the tail or neck shaved and
sterilized before bleeding, and all bot
ties or jars should be sterilized. All
Of the preparation and bottling should
be done in clean quarters free from
any dust, and no vessels used that are
not sterile.
The potency test may be misleading
through the use of pigs that are from
immune mothers. These pigs may re-
tain enough immunity that they will
remain well even though the serum is
low in potency. That is one of the
reasons why check pigs are used, to
show the natural immunity of the pigs.
The pigs should also be of the same
herd or litter and treated alike.
Under the provisions Of the new hog
cholera control law in Indiana, Purdue
university is charged with the testing
of all hog cholera serums and so-called
cures that are sold in the state. All
of the different serums exposed for

the cures have been tested. The great
er majority of the serums hav9 been
found to be potent, but no cure has

The anti-hog-cholera serum used in
the prevention of hog cholera is OBJ
tanned from hogs that have recovered
from an attack of cholera and have
been rendered very sstrongly resistant
to the disease. The modern serum
laboratory is a mandatory in the full
sense Of the word.
Healthy hogs are purchased either
at home or at some market; they are
vaccinated upon arrival at the serum
plant, and good care is taken of them
for three weeks. At the end of that
time they have fully recovered from
the effects of vaccination and are what
are termed immunes. At the end OF
this time, the immunes are given very
large doses of very virulent hog-chol-
era blood. This blood is obtained in
the better serum companies by buying
healthy one hundred to one hundred
and fifty-pound hogs, inoculating them
with cholera blood alone. These virus
hogs are killed as soon as they show
high temperatures and visible signs Of
cholera. Their blood is carefully col
lected in bottles or jars, the fibrin fill
tered out and the resulting fluid is the
virus used for injecting into the i'm
munes. Large quantities Of virus are
given each immune, a 200-pound hog
receiving from one to two quarts of
this very virulent blood, depending on
the method used in injecting it. This
dose of virus renders the immune very
strongly resistant to cholera, and he
is now what is termed hyperimmune.
Ten days after the injection of virus, II
the hyperimmune is in good health, the
first bleeding is done. Since the tail
offers the only place available without
danger of bleeding to death, 1t is Sc
lected as the place for bleeding. A
small piece Of the tail is cut off and
the blood, flowing from the cut is col
lected in bottles. After certain guam
tity is collected, the amount being
governed by the size of the hog, the
tail is tied to prevent further bleeding,
and the hog released. A week later
the hog can be bled again. One week
after the second bleeding, third bleed
ing is done. At this time the serum
from the hyperimmune is becomingles
potent and the hog is rehyperimmu-
nized by fresh injection of virus. At
ter the tail is clipped too short for
further use, the hog is killed and all
of the blood is collected. In some
plants that are close by packing
house one bleeding is done. The hog is
killed at the time of the first bleeding
and the blood collected. The carcass
is inspected and passed for food if the
tissues are normal.
After the blood is collected in the
bottles the fibrin is filtered out, the

terial they should not crack any more
than does other concrete work. There
have been failures in all types Of silos,
but it is safe to say that the percent
age of failures is less in concrete silos
than in most other types. That they
are a success has been demonstrated
beyond a doubt by those built not only
in this state but other states as well.
Silos of this type are known to have
been used successfully for IL years
without the least sign of deterioration,
or loss of silage through spoilage.
The common causes of failure In
concrete construction are: ~ INSULT

and gravel, co too lean mixture or
insufficient amount of cement used,
(D poor mixing Of cement with sand
and gravel, 60 poor placing of mix.

ALSIkE CLOVER IS
GOOD COVER CROP
Well Adapted to Low, Moist Soil
is WeIl-knoWn as Fa-
vorite- Food for Bees.

Alsike clover, unlike our red clover,
Is we'll adapted to low, moist soils,
also to dried up land. 1t should not
be sown alone. Six pounds of alsike
seed and ten pounds of red clover seed
sown to the acre will give large crop
of excellent hay, and a larger yield
than if either were sown alone
Red clover will seldom produce
crop of hay the third year, while
alsike will yield good crops from three,
to five years if the. land is in good
condition and the season not too dry.
Alsike clover is well known as the
favorite food for bees. The honey
made from alsike blossoms Is said to
be of excellent quality. But its great
est value Is for pasture. When once
firmly rooted 1t will make a sturdy
growth even II the season is hot and
the ground dry.
Hay farmers who have grown this
clover for some years consider 1t
valuable to mix with meadow grasses,
such as foul meadow and red top.
Yields of 3A to tons of hay have
been grown to the acre, and excellent
fall pasture may be had until late In
the season.
The second crop is said to cause
horses to slobber freely, and on this
account 1t is best not to SOW alsike
in horse pastures. The seed may be
had from the agricultural storeA II
is thought best to try this clover

serum cooled and bottled. 1t is then
placed in a refrigerator to wait for the
testing. This is done by trying the
serum with pigs and also in the best
plants by archaeological examina-
ton. The potency of the serum is
tested by taking some pigs weighing
80 to 70 pounds that are not immune
to cholera, injecting some of them
with hog cholera blood alone and the
others with varying amounts Of the
serum along with the hog cholera
blood. The pigs that receive no serum
are termed check pigs and should die
from cholera within from five to four
teen days. The pigs receiving serum
should remain healthy. If the bacteri-
illogical examination shows no bacteria
that are liable to produce blood poison
ing or assesses and the potency test
is good, the serum of that particular
bleeding is labeled with the serial num-
Der Of the test and placed on the mar
ket.
In the main, this is the process of
manufacture of anti-hog-cholera Sc
rum. The varying results with different
serums that can be observed in a COM
munity are due to difference in the
care and intelligence used in the man.
