 A very common inquiry from farm CTS is in regard to inoculating hogs as protection against cholera.
 Hog cholera has been a great men, ace 10 the hog industry This disease may not be dreaded if care is taken to keep out infection as well as possible and then use hog cholera serum as soon as the disease gets within two miles of the place where hogs are maintained. There are two methods of applying the serum, the one being called the simultaneous method and the other the preventive. The simui- taneous method should never be used where there is some doubt of the ex- istence of hog cholera in the district. IL consists of injecting preventive serum as well as the living virus of the hog cholera and rapidly over.cok. ing it with the antitoxin Often hogs are thought to be infected with choI- era when some other disease is pres ent. In such cases the simultaneous treatment is extremely dangerous be- cause it introduces the disease to a

that is to do these things? We might enumerate them here:
 First, easy keeping. something that means much to the breeder, the grow CT and the feeder
 Second. quick and early develop nent. We have no time any more for Q nos to put in a couple of years growing bony framework on which to put the fat layers.
 Third. prolific breeding qualities. The SOW that will drop a litter of ten pigs every time is worth three times as much as the SOW that will farrow five pigs about every other time. Of course not every SOW is a ten-pig ami. nal.
 Fourth and fifth. we want animals that are Of a quiet disposition and wig. orously healthy. We don't want a breed of hogs that will put on pound of flesh in the morning and run it of in the afternoon We want animals that will resist ordinary hog ailments, and we would be greatly pleased if someone would develop a breed of cholera-immune swine.
 Of course. there is no perfect breed of swine. but there are numbers that are very popular with practical hog growers. Pick out any one of the better breeds, stick to that one breed and try to pay more attention to the selection of individual sows and boars. Watch the SOW whose filters develop rapidly. Get rid of the SOW whose lit ters grow slowly and whose pigs are chicken killers, fence breakers and persistent rooters. Pay particular at tention to the sow whose filters are a little larger than the average.
 If you have any scrub hogs get rid of them. Tine razorback is ali right in his native canebrakes, but he has no place on a farm. All these things will help in reducing the cost of growing hogs and will mean more money for the grower.

STALLION SHOULD BE
 BROKEN TO HARNESS
Animal Should Be Worked Pro- vided Driver Gives Him the
 Necessary Attention.

Many farmers have written to the Kansas State Agricultural college to know if it is advisable to work stall lions.
 Yes, all stallions should be worked; {; that is, provided the man who works them understands them and knows how to give them the proper care" is the answer given by pr. c. w. Me Campbell, secretary of the live stock registry board and assistant profes- sor of animal husbandry in the col lege.
 "A stallion should be broken to har- ness in the winter before he is two years old,' says Doctor McCampbell. As few are broken at this age the man who usually buys stailions faces the problem of breaking them after the horses have reached maturity.
 Several precautions must be ob- served when breaking a stallion. First, the man must be a thorough horse man, and second, he must remember that while the horse is big he is usu- ally soft and cannot stand a great amount of hard work until he becomes accustomed to it.
 Tn breaking a stallion it should be borne in mind that he should have only a few hours light work every day for several months, but after he has once become accustomed to work, he can, with proper care. do a full days work out of breeding season, and at least half days work during the breeding season"

farm butter from the same farmer. at two cents above retail market price. every month in the year and glad to get 1t.
 Never attempt to keep summer butter for early fall prices, because fl will not keep.
 Al slilk should be separated as soon as taken from the COW. This can be done by passing it through the separa- tor. but it is net as good as 8 device which divides the milk into many fine streams and then allows it 10 flow over a wide surface in thin sheets with plenty of ice to keep the surface cool.
 If nothing better can be had. milk may be aerated by placing the cans in trough of cold water and dipping the milk with long-handled dipper and pouring it back into the can until it is thoroughly cool.
 Never cover milk while warm, in the cans. as it will produce a musty odor.
 The milker who will thump a COW for squirming under the attack of flies. ought to be hoisted out Of the barn on the toe of the dairyman' s boots.
 In some states, the law is that all milk after July 1 must be pasteurized before leaving the creamery In Den mark milk Is pasteurized at all times.
 Need not expect COWS to keep up the milk flow during the tail-end of summer. unless you have plenty of soiling crops to feed. Dead grass does not produce milk.
