HOG CHOLERA sERlJM

A new method of preparing anti-hog
cholera serum, which permits the eco
nomical production of a clear steril-
lied product, has just been described
in the Journal of Agricultural Re-
search of the U. S. Department of Ag-
Ticulture. The advantage claimed
for the new method is that it makes
possible the production of an anti-hog
cholera serum which can be quickly
sterilized by heat to point that will
absolutely kill any germs of footand-
mouth disease and so yield a serum
that is absolutely safe even if taken
from a hog which might harbor foot
and-mouth disease and yet give no in
dication of being infected.
The method, as described by it's dis
coverers, DR.. Maron Dorset and X. r.
| Henley, of the Biochemic Division,
Bureau of Animal Industry, consists
in adding a slight amount of an ex-
tract from ordinary white navy beans
to the defibrinatcd hOg-ChOIera i'm
mune blood which has been the form
of the serum used in the past The
addition of this bean extract causes
the red cells of the blood to agglutin-
ate and when the mixture is whirled

gethCr and form a rather stiff ely
like mass. 1t is then possible to
pour off a clear serum, leaving be-
hind the red cells which play no part
in preventing hog cholera and which
in fact simply tend to dilute the ser
Tim and render it's sterilization by heat
impractiCab.e. To increase the yield
of clear serum the dscOverers added
= small amount of ordinary salt and
found that they obtained from 70 to
"A per cent of clear serum. The
clear serum thus obtained it was
found could be heated for 80 minutes
at temperature of so degrees Cent?
grade without changing its consist
cncy or lessening in any way its eff
fectiveness in preventing hog cholera.
The heating to this point for this time
s more than sufficient to kill any
germs of fOOt-and- mouth disease which
might accidentally be present.
The new form of serum, as far as
the department knows, is not vet be.
ing made or put on sale by the COM
mercial serum laboratories. AS this
process was discovered by the FEEDER
al government, any one in the United
States is free to use it.

WEATHER AND CROPS.

Nearly 10000 persons, largely
successful farmers, are now aiding
the u. S. Department of Agriculture by
furnishing information, demonstrate
ing the local usefulness of new meth

ing and reporting on conditions in
their districts-by helping, in short,
in almost every conceivable way to
increase the knowledge of the De-
partment and to place that knOwl-
edge at the service of the people.
This army of volunteers receives no
pay from the Government. Many of
these cOoperatorSaare actuated solely
by a wish to be of service to their
neighbOrs. Others take part in this
work because of their own keen in
terest in testing new methods, or in
trying out for themselves crops either
new to their own sections or import
ed from foreign countries through the
Departments plant explorers.
1t is estimated that at least one
farm out OF every twenty is working
in some way with the Department of
Agriculture and thus has become a
center of advanced agricultural in
formation for its community. In ad-
dition to the farmers who work di-
rectly with the Department of Agri-
culture, there are thousands of others
who render a similar valuable ser
vice to the scientists and field work
ers of the State agricultural colleges
and experiment stations.
With such a large number of farm
ers willing to work with the Depart
ment and the colleges and test out
their recommendations it. is clear
that significant change has taken
place from the day when the average
farmer was decidedly skeptical about
scientific agriculture and slow or I'M
willing to give attention to the recon-
mendations of what many used to des-
ignate as book farmers"

DRAINAGE DISTRICTS,

Commenting on the improvement
to be made north of Oskaloosa, the
Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
"A $4,000 contract has been award
ed at Oskaloosa for a drainage 'un
dertaking. which will reclaim much
land and drain the water into Skunk
river. Perhaps it would be more ad,
vantageous, if the drainage opera
lions especially where the rivers OF
the state are concerned were planned
by state board of some kind, which
would take into consideration not
merely one comparatively small local
ity, but the stream and the neighbor-
ing territory as a whole, Too often
such districts are planned along the
lines of the least resistance, and
some of the things that ought to be
done are left undone, because some
of the interested parties are in oppo'
sition. 1t is as where a sewer sys'
tenn is planned piece meal in a city
and is then added to and enlarged in
the same fashion, instead of being
planned as a whole, and in such a
manner that any number of unites can
be left to the future, and that addi-
tions can be made without in any
fashion interfering with the general
plan or with any work that may have
been done in the past or may need
to be done in the future"

The LOUD DRIVER.

The development of the automobile
has brought about new conditions,
especially at church services, thea
tres and other public gatherings. The
late arrival with his loud mouthed
car is a disturbing element, and we
believe if he realized how much of
a nuisance he was he would change
his habits.
Except on rare OCCASIONS it is not
necessary for autoists to get out at
the entrance. or right under the open
window of the auditorium and then
have the driver stop the proceed
ings inside until he starts his car
again and takes it to a parking place.
Why not stop half block or more
away and walk the little distance?
Other drivers always want people
to know they have a car and honk
and honk to the annoyance of every
body else. Others seem to delight
in running past churches and hos
pitfalls with their cut-outs wide open.
We are glad to say that these peo-
pie are in the minority of the car
owners, but We believe if they would
be little more thoughtful, they
would increase the popularity of the
automobile and make friends of all
who wish to hear a sermon, an ad-
dress, or an opera. Think it over.

right to accept the nomination A
paramount public duty forbids it.
This paramount public duty was not
alone that the insurance investiga-
ton should proceed, but that it
should not be colored by any sugges.
ticn of political motive
Hughes was not a candidate for
the republican nominations for cover.
nor in 1906, but he was the choice OF
the convention. He was not a candi.
date for denomination, but he was re.
nominated. The party leaders were
ready to throw him overheard, but a
message from Roosevelt changed their
intention. Hughes had made such
record that his reputation would
have submerged the party. Roose,
welt knew it. The New York bosses
whom Hughes had estranged hated to
recognize it, but they had to.
In 1908, New York presented the
name of Hughes before the republi.
can national convention. Hughes
had not asked an Endorsement, nor
was he a candidate. He did nothing
to advance his candidacy.
The appointment to the supreme
court of the United States of course
came without solicitation. 1t was
one of those inevitable choices
which occasionally are made.
And finally it is matter of pres
ent day knowledge that the republi-
can nomination for president has
come to Hughes without effort on his
Fart, without positive knowledge that
he would accept the nomination, and
without advance work being done in
his behalf even by self-constituted
committees.
This is not an accidental series of
condolences. 1t is part of Hughes
political doctrine. On Oct IS, 1907,
at the beginning of his public career,
Hughes said:
ITO me public office means a bur-
den of esponsibility-a burden of in
cessant toll at times almost intoler-
able-which, under honorable condi-
tions and at the command of the peo-
pie, it may be duty and even a
pleasure to assume, but it is far from
being an object of ambition. l have
not sought, nor shall l seek, directly
or indirectly to influence the selec-
ton or the vote of any delegates to
any convention
Hughes has followed this motto
without deviation and his career is
one to make a professional politician
throw up his hands in despair"

MAHASkA REPUBLICANS.

Little interest will attach to the re
p lblican county convention to be held
on Saturday, July l, as there are nc
contests in Mahaska county. Dele,
gates, however, should not overlook
the important fact that at this con
vention delegates are to be chosen
to the state convention to be held in
Des Moines on July 10. At this state
convention the republican committee
of the state is to be selected.
So far as known the only candidate
for Sixth District member of the
State Republican Committee is Mr.. f.
c. Huebner of Abba. Mr.. Huebner
has been chairman of the Monroe
County Central committee and has
made a fine record in office. He is
well qualified and deserving of the
recognition, and will fill the higher
position in good shape.

GOOD DIRT ROADS.

Discussing the meeting OF the 'TTax
Payers League" in Knoxville, the Elk
press says:
I'VE are in hearty accord with the
Taxpayers League in its conviction
that good dirt roads are at present
the only feasible and practical Iowa
roads; but this paper cannot think
that the way to secure them is to dis
card all skilled engineering assist
ance. We don't care what you call
it-you can cal lit board of public
works instead of a highway commits
sion, if you like-but it does not APP
pear reasonable to The Express tC
improve the Iowa dirt roads in a
systematic manner without some
state supervision And in each
county or in each district of some
reasonable size-maybe two or three
or four cOunties-it surely is wise to
employ a trained and experienced
constructing engineer to superintend
roads, bridges, culyerts and other
public work. We need engineering
assistance-nOt to tell us that we
need expensive hrd roads nor to
construct them-but to give us what
we want in good earth roads at the
least expenditure of money and time.
Engineering if properly done is an
economy instead of an eXtraVa gance.

American ports are better suite

American ports are better suited
by nature to handle the largest liners
than any of the old world ports. At
New York, San Francisco, Seattle
and Tacoma, it is possible to dock
boats as large as the Aquitania and
Imperator at any stage of the tide,
and in Boston such boats can pro
coed to the wharves at high tide. In
natural advantages the busiest of the
European ports do not compare fav-
orably with these and a number of
other American ports
