clear serum by centrifugalizing. 1t
was found, however, that while the
centrifuge would separate to some ex-
tent the red cells, they were in such
shape that it was difficult to separate
the serum completely An important
quantity of antibOdies was left behind
in the red clOt, and the resulting pro-
duct was a cloudy rather than a clear
serum. With this process, however,
it was possible ordinarily to secure
only about SO per cent. of serum. I'm
der the new method it is possible to
secure as high as IA per cent. of clear
serum, which in actual test has proved
to be fully potent. This clear serum,
moreover, can be completely sterilized
in 80 minutes, whereas the old serum
had to be heated steadily for II hours
The new form of serum, as far as
the department knows, is not yet be-
ing made or put on sale by the COM
mercial serum laboratories AS this
process was discovered by the federal
government, anyone in the United
States is free to use it.

IMPROVED SERUM.
Specialists Find Way to Produce q
Clear, SteriIized Anti-HOg ChOl-
era Serum Free From Foot
and Mouth Virus.

A new method of preparing anti
hOg-cholera serum, which premits the
economical production of a clear ster-
ilized product, has just been described
| in the Journal of Agricultural Research
! of the department. 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 a point
that will absolutely kill any germs Of
foot-and- mouth disease and so yield
a serum that is absolutely safe even
/ if taken from a hog which might har-
Dor foot-and-mouth disease and yet
give no indication of being injected.
The method, as described by it's dis
coverers, Dr. Marion Dorset and R.
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 dedprinated og-cholera-im-
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
on centrifuge the red cells pack to-
gether and form a rather stiff jelly
! like mass. 1t is then possible to pour
off a clear serum, leaving behind the
red cells, which play no part in pre-
venting hog cholera and which, in fact,
simply tend to dilute the serum and
render its sterilization by heat imprac-
ticable To increase the yield of clear
serum the discOvererS added a small
that they obtained from 20 to "A per
cent of clear serum. The clear serum
thus obtained it was found could be
lheated 80 minutes at a temperature
of so degrees c. without changing it's
consistency or lessening in any way
it's effectiveness in preventing hog
cholera The heating to this point for
this time is more than sufficient to
kill any germs of foOt-and- mouth dis
ease which might accidentally be pres
ent Practical tests with hogs show
that probably all of the anti-bodies
useful in combating hog cholera were
retained in the serum and the red cells
extracted contained so few, if any, Of
these valuable bodies as to make the
residue of red cells useless in prevent
| ing the disease.
Before the clear serum was devel-
oped, many attempts were made to
sterilize by heat in a practicable way
the ordinary defbrinated blood. 1t
was found however, that heating the
old product up to so degrees C. result
ed in more or less complete coagula-
ton of the defbrinated blood and in
the destruction of the serum so far
as its commercial worth is concerned.
1t was found that the highest temper
ature that could be used was so de-
grees c., and it was necessary to keep
the old serum at this temperature for
II hours to make certain that the
virus of foot-and-mouth disease was
killed Heating serum at a steady
temperature over this long period in
ordinary practice is difficult and too
expensive.
Attempts also were made to make

Short Change Artists.

A couple of strangers attempted to
work short change racket ON several
merchants in Fox Lake recently, but
did not make the gag work very sue
ceSsful1y. The game IS for each to
purchase small article rendering 9
ten ana a twenty dollar bill in pay
ment. The fellow with the ten refuses
the change and asks for his ten back.
When the ten is brought to him he
places it with the rest of the change
and asks for twenty. If the the mer-
chant has been out late the night be-
fore and is just trifie sleepy he is
liable to give the man the twenty in
change for his own hard earned iron
men, However, all of the local mer-
chants were on the job and the men
failed to reap harvest there.

MILKS cows THRICE DAILY.
Farmer Young Increases His Dali,
Dairy Output by %
Per Cent.

The daylight savings system, under
which Imaginative persons think they
gain an hour a day by the simple ex-
pedient of advancing the clock sixty
minutes, has nothing on Farmer Ches-
ter Young's COWS. Farmer Young
whose dairy is near Newton, n j., has
found that by milking his stock three
times a day, instead of only twice
he is able to supply many more pat
rons than formerly.
Thlrty-five COWS, fortunately not
union members, have submitted to the
test every day for the last weeks, two
men operating scientific milking ma
as formerly, but also at noon. Of
course, the stock demands more food
than under the old system, but as the
milk production in this time has in
creased between % and 33 per cent.
Mr.. Young figures that he has netted
profit even after paying the bigger
bill. And, best of all, the COWS seem
to enjoy it.
