and FIreside. In Washington county,
MINI, lives James Blank. young
farmer. whose experience should be an
encouragement to other young farmers.
But his real name isn't Blank.
This young farmer, leaving home and
parents. came to this country from
sweden ut seventeen years Of age. For
nine years he worked as a farm hand
for the best farmers In the country.
Practically all Of the nine years we're
spent In the employ Of two farmers.
After nine years Of apprenticeship as
a farm hand he had saved sufficient
money so that he was able to buy a
small farm equipment and rent a
farm. AS with many other young
farmers. the time Of changing from
hired man TO tenant was that OF his
marriage.
After three years he bought for 5000
the 100 acre place which he was then
farming as tenant Since buying the
original place he has bought another
forty acres. Now he owns 160 acres.

on the farm. Deducting this leaves
the young farmer worth $1,000
During the year OF 1914 this farmer
made $3.50 as his labor income. In
other words. he had 81 go for his own
work above farm expenses and 8 per

SAN JOSE SCALE CAMPAIGN

We are glad TO see the good citi-
Gems Of Berea up in arms ready to
fight the San Jose scale. There are
vet some who do not seem TO be able
90 realize the harmfulness OF the
pest and just how much damage IL
will do us right here in Berea, say
ing nothing about the adjacent
neighborhood. Monday last there
was a good showing in interest on
the part of number who turned
out 10 the demonstrations on the dif-
fcrent streets of our town, where
the actual work Of pruning and
spraying trees infected went on.
This work must not stop at this. We
are only getting our eyes open
slightly. We cannot afford to pass
this by lightly. We are neighbors
and we must show ourselves neigh
borly by treating our fellows as we
would be treated. We do not like
10 be treated shabbily, neither
should we bestow such treatment on
our good neighbor.
With this little introduction to
the methods of determination Of this
pest let us all feel it our duty to
he active in this campaign. Every
loyal citizen should call up one or
all of the committee as appointed by
the Citizens and Farmers Meeting
of the 26th of February or our
County Agent Spence, all of whom
are willing TO advise and aid you
in removing your difficulties with
the San Jose Scale pest. Don't be
careless about this matter. We are
in dead earnest about it and your
cooperation is urgently solicited.

SANITATION IN THE CONTROL OF
HOG CHOLERA

Hog cholera is highly infectious
and contagious disease. IL should
be handled and dealt with like any
other contagious disease. II is car
ried from farm TO farm by running
water, by dogs and birds and on the
shoes of man. Farmers and hog
raisers can do great deal TO control
b and eradicate this disease on their
own premises by the observance Of
scrupulous cleanliness in the care
of hogs and by the adoption Of SIM
pie sanitary measures, and by good
hog-farm management.
Cooperate with your neighbors
and with the Experiment Station in
their efforts 10 control hog cholera,
by the observance Of the following
simple sanitary measures.
Burn the carcasses Of all dead
hogs.
Isolate and quarantine all sick
hogs and all new stock until they
show freedom from disease.
Any hog Off feed should be quar-
antined and watched.
Clean and disinfect your hog
houses.
Scatter freshly slaked lime about
hog houses and hog lots once a
week. Rake up the dung and spent
lime and use it to fertilize your
fields. Lime is one Of the cheapest
disinfectants and one OF the best
fertilizers.
Provide clean, dry quarters for
your hogs. A good hog house does
not cost much.
Do not pasture your hogs by q
running stream. Hog cholera is car
ried for miles by running water.
Give your hogs vermifuge IL re-
move worms. A good vermifuge
consists Of:
Santonin ............2h grains
Areca nut ............f drachm
Calomel ...............2 grains
COdium bicarbnate. 2 drachms
This preparation can be obtained
from any pharmacist. Another
good vermifuge is a pint OF turpen-
tine to barrel of slop. Starve all
animals forty-eight hours before
giving the vermifuge.
For lice, use any of the coal tar
dips or spray your hogs with an
emulsion Of crude oil or kerosene.
Feed properly balanced rations.
Avoid all patent medicines. These
are worthless as remedies for hog
cholera.
Do not visit farms on which there
is hog cholera, and do not allow
strangers in your hog lots. Man Is
responsible for % per cent OF the
outbreaks Of this disease.
Keep birds and dogs away from
your hog lots.
Do away with filthy hog wallows.
To provide pure stock water, put
a barrel of lime or five pounds OF
cOpperas in the pond.
II you need hog cholera serum, or
II you feel in need of further ad-
vice regarding the care OF hogs, ad-
dress your County Agent, Spence.
