sulting profits largely depend upon successful hog raising. In Iowa, Mis-. souri. Illinois and other great hog. raising states, the hogs follow the cattle; they eat after the cattle. Com nined they bring the farmer a good revenue. With hog raising left out, the cattle in these states can be ! grown only at loss.
 Probably no blight or disease with : which the farmer has to contend, and he has many, Is so absolutely discour- ] aging as hog cholera. Its devastation | Is almost complete. With drove of loo or perhaps 1000 prime hogs just ready Tor the market, he has almost the Feel of the money-S1 900 or S1O,- 1 OO0-withln his hand. They are healthy and fat, sight good to look upon. Then hog on an adjoining farm rubs shouts with one of them, through the fence, and before the week Is out half the hogs of the drove are infected, and the chances are that in another week, instead of 100 hogs, there will be less than a dozen strag-
 
 count, il takes some nerve for this particular farmer to start all over again; the chances are that he will quit the hog business.
 All the precautions of sanitation and cleanliness may be of little avail in combating cholera. An entire drove of thousand hogs may be swept away ha
 of a farmland who has visited some distant farm, while dogs, turkey bug zards, crows, etc, may transmit the disease.
 There are just two things to be done; first, stop the sale of fake and dangerous anticholera serums, and sec ond to supply hog raisers with the Dorset serum. Hog raisers are will ing to pay the cost of inoculation. The trouble has been that there is not enough serum to supply the demand, and the farmers have used danger ous substitutes. To insure a S15 hog by inoculating him at a cost of 25 cents Is good business, and when the government manufactures serum on a liberal scale, this cost will be consid- erably reduced. With hog cholera un- der control, not only would we have more pork. but more beef. If hog cholera can be abolished. as 1t should be by means of the Dorset serum, the United States in two years can be re- stored to its old place as the greatest meat exporting nation in the world. The appropriation of half a million dollars in the Kenyon law for the stamping out of cholera is an authori- zation to do the most practical work possible toward increasing the nation- al meat supply.

 "A little premature, Douglas" h,
 sneered. I'm sorry to break up thi,
 love-making scene, but l couldn't die
 when l knew how much it would mean
 to you, Molly!"
 To his amazement neither answered
 him. Jack put his arm about Molly
 and drew her closer to him. Jim Davis ran toward him. his fists clenched.
 "Get out, you blackguard." he roared, making a vicious swing at the other.
 His fist seemed to pass right through Douglas. And still there was the loving smile on Molly's face. And while Jim Davis looked at them in consternation everything faded, and he became aware of an intense and un- endurable pain that gripped his body and wrung 1t as if in wise.
 He opened his eyes and the light of day almost blinded him. He was ly. ing under the wreckage. It had all been dream. Near him was the girl whom he had seen, pinned under the beam, but not severely hurt. She was free above the knee, and it rested lightly upon her leg, without pressing there. Still, to escape was impossi- ble.
 Jim Davis rolled toward her, and every motion was like the plunging of knives into his body.
 He tried to lift the beam. but of course, could moi. Ani suddenly fresh outcry from near by, and a sense of intolerable heat, startled him. The wreckage was afire from the en- zine. The flames were creeping near CT. Men were working frantically to remove the injured, but there was hardly time.
 A burning cinder lit on the girls dress. Jim Davis picked it up with his free hand and pushed it away. He knew now that he was paralyzed from the waist downward.
 Help mel" pleaded the girl again, in terror.
 The flames were circling about them. A trick of the wind had sent a shower of sparks across the spot where they lay, and the wrecked cars on the other side of them were blazing. And then two men rushed through the smoke and grasped him.
 'Not mel" said Davis. There's a girl there-under the smoke. Get the beam of her leg"
 As the girls choking cry came to | their ears they released the gambler | and plunged into the smoke. Davis | them anxiously. Would they | They strained with all their | night at the fallen beam, while the red | sparks whirled about them. and the | smoke covered them. And Davis | more eagerly than he mad i ever watched anything in his life.
 Suddenly. with a mighty heave, the men got the beam away. Davis saw hem grasp the girl and carry her to safety. And then with a roar the lanes swept over him.
 Perhaps with that act of abnegation he gambler made atonement for his nisspent life. In that last moment he understood that it had been granted iim to visit his wife in the spirit, to earn and understand. But instead of bitterness there was only joy in his leart that Molly was to be free.
 So. smiling at the last throw of fate, i'm Davis yielded up his body to the lanes.

before. The American investment 1T
 the hog business represents some sIO0,
 Voc,OO, the number of hogs on the
 farms last year being 6l,OO0,00O; yet
 there is no other animal which sui
 iers such tremendous loss from dis ease-through hog cholera.
 It Is estimated that the loss oi
 pork last year through this disease reached the enormous total of 95,OOO,. OoV pounds, or ten pounds of meat for every man, woman. and child in the united States-a net loss of some S6G, OO,Oc. Moreover. this great loss is by no means exceptional. The loss for the year following the one thus estimated will be greater. it is be- heved. by perhaps S20OOO.O 900 or S25,- OOO,eO, while as far back as 1897 the loss was stated by the federal bu- reau of animal industry to be not far from S10O,OOO,0OO for that year.
 The strange thing is that the cause of hog cholera has been definitely de- termined and specific, an almost in- fallible remedy. has been discovered, but that little has been done toward applying it.
 When hog cholera strikes a drove Of hogs it usually sweeps through it like whirlwind. killing in a period of 15 or 20 days from S5 to 95 per cent of the drove. When the remedy, or rather preventive treatment is ap- piled, the loss is reduced to less than per cent.
 In presenting these facts, Senator Kenyon was principally quoting our own department of agriculture, which, if 1t has done anything. has studied the American hog; so that his author ity may be considered exceptionally good The Iowa senator won out handsomely, for congress passed his bill appropriating SJO0.OOO to enable the secretary of agriculture to pro- ceed with the stamping out of the dis ease. and the work has been begun with enthusiasm by the department of agriculture.
 An absolute preventive has been found for the universal hog cholera, a serum developed by Dr. M Dorset, practical scientist in the depart ment of agriculture, which as surely prevents cholera in hogs as the bet ter known serum in typhoid or the vaccine of smallpox. or antitoxin of diphtheria prevents those diseases in the human family. Doctor Dorset has patented his priceless prUcess and has presented it to the people of the Unit ed States. It has been tried out with the most gratifying results.
 Control of hog cholera by the use of the Dorset serum, as pract1ced by the department of agriculture, and the more progressive of the hog-raising states. presents one of the most in- feresting examples of the results of | scientific research. The hog cholera | germ is so small as to be invisible un- | der the most powerful microscope. | That it is a germ has been determined |; only by actual experiments in in- | healthy hogs with the

blood of chOlera-diseased animals.
 The anticholera serum which is in-
 Jected into healthy hogs to render
 them immune is obtained by taking naturally Immune hog. or one which mas recovered from cholera. and in- lecung into its circulation some blood rom hog suffering from bad case or cholera. Outwardly this treatment anects the immune hog only slightly 1: II does not give it cholera, but it
 makes the animal still more highly immune-hyper-immune. This hyper Immune hog is then bled several times from its tail and finally from the carotid artery which results in the death of the animal. From the large i amount of blood thus obtained the 1 anicholera serum is made, and when this is injected into an ordinary hog It renders it cholera proof without, however. affecting the animal. The Immunity lasts only a few weeks, but an interesting and highly important phase of the work whereby the hog is made immune against cholera for the rest of its life consists in the in- jection of some blood from a cholera sick hog.
 This double injection, then, keeps the animal from having hog cholera and at the same time makes him per manently immune. The same results are affected, if the hog immediately after being innoculated with the serum, is exposed to other hogs suffer- ing from hog cholera. An of which indicates the fact that a large amount of careful experimentation has been undertaken by the bureau of animal industry of the department of agri- culture.
 With such a devastating disease as hog cholera prevalent throughout the entire country it follows that many remedies and of late many hog cholera serums have appeared upon the mar ket. The frauds and grafters have reaped a golden harvest through the sale of their worthless and even dan gerous concoctions. In order to pre- vent the manufacture and sale of these fake remedies, a bill has been introduced prohibiting the interstate shipment of any hog cholera serums which are not approved by the depart ment of agriculture.
 Where the government serum has | been used, however, the records show | that the percentage of loss is almost | nothing-less than l per cent. Even i in badly afflicted droves the treatment has saved a large proportion of the hogs and has many times paid for it. self.
 Not only does hog cholera cause the direct loss of a billion pounds of pork but beef production is tremendously and directly affected thereby. In many states the cattle industry and the re-
