Carrying Cholera Germs.

Carrying Cholera Germs.
The natural conclusion is that i'll
Communities where there is hog chol-
era, birds. such as pigeons and spar
rows, should be shot. People should
not so into each others hog lots. and
lin exchange work, they should be
careful to keep away from hog pens.
The only good dog on the farm when
hog cholera is about is a dead dog or
one that is tied up so that he can
not go to ~neighboring farms. Hog
houses where cholera existed should
be cleaned out and disinfected. New
stock should be ~Quarantined for three
weeks after purchase.
"A study OF reports shows that fifty
I per cent of hog cholera is spread from
carcasses of dead hogs which lay I'M
buried or unburned. 1t is a violation
of law to leave hogs that have died
of cholera in this manner, but the
law will not be necessary when men
realize the danger of spreading in
lection. Hogs should be buried at
least three feet deep or completely
! burned.

feed a competent veterinary or the
county agent should be notified at
once. You cannot afford to lose time
in ascertaining whethr or not your
hogs have cholera or some other dis
ease. If the ailment proves to be
! cholera, vaccinate at once. To those
who do not believe in vaccination,
wish to submit the following figures,
which are the result Of the work of
thirteen different men, ~vaccinating

Last Days Session.
At an extra session Saturday after
noon, voted by the farmers in at
tendance at Fridays meeting to make
up for sessions they missed on ae
count of stormy weather, the annual
farmers short course came to an end.
The meeting was featured by a !2rge
attendance and was one of the best
Of the course.
The speaker was Gordon w. Rand
lett, of Brookings, state leader of az
ricultural extension work in South
Dakota. He outlined the purpose and
plans Of the better farming movement
and o entirely the appreciation Of
all who heard him.
Great Educational Movement.
He said the agricultural extension
work is a great educational movement
and is bound to result in vast bene-
fits to the state and nation. The de
mand for extension work is spread
ing, he said. Better farming endea
vor, he explained, is taking form
along the following lines: county
agent work, short courses, boys and
girls club work, specialists Zone is
already employed in dairying in this
state), and work among the women
on the farms.
Mr.. Randlett said that work among
the women has not beer extensively
taken up in South Dakota as yet, but
that it will be in the neal future. He
explained that this department does
not mean solely instructions in cook
ing and sewing. but will be designed
to aid in solving all problems that
confront housewives on South Dake-
ia farms. .
The Snith-Lever Bill.
The speaker took UP the Smith
Lever bill and explained how it op-
crates. He showed that at the be-
ginning $4,000 was set aside for each
state and that each year this amount
is increased by a certain per cent.
If South Dakota keeps up its appor-
ton ment to meet that Of the federal
government, there will be 1874, 900 90
per year available for extension work
in this state at the end of the ninth
year. Mr.. Randlett said.
Near the close of the meeting a ris-
ing vote was taken on the question
of whether or not, in the opinion of
the farmers in attendance, the county
agent and extension association is
proceeding along the right lines,
Every man in the room stood up, and
thereby showed that he is behind the
better farming movement in its pres
ent form.

BE KIND TO YOUR HORSE
washington Times)

The Washington Humane Society
has sent out an appeal to the owners
and drivers of horses, seeking their
cooperation in making life more bear
able for these faithful beasts during
the hot weather. The following arc
the suggestions offered. and all Of
them are good:
Rest your horse frequently and see
that he has water often.
Do not let him stand in the hot sun
II he is required to stand for any
length of time, find shady place, at
least a place where he may have his
head in the shade.
II your horse is overcome by the
heat, get him as soon as possible into
cool, shady place, but in the open arr;
battle his head and rinse his mouth
with cold water. II necessary, apply
ice to the head and along the spine.
In the summer time the stable
should be we'll ventilated, and the
doors and windows screened, as the
horse is often kept from his nights
rest by being worried by mosquistoes
and insects.

With the British Army in France
September 5 (Via London, September
1.-THE British feel that their uphill
work in this latest offensive is over
with the exception of the taking OF
Ginchy. For more than two months
now their fight has been one to gain
high ground over the broad command
ing front. Guillemont places them in
possession of the last of the old sec
ond line trenches, and from the
Somme to Thiepval the Germans now
have been blasted out of their old po-
sitions.
This is not the only point in our
favor" said a British stan officer.
THE Germans chose their ground
when they built the line of the fortif-
cations, which they consider by their
own admission to be invulnerable
When the British first smashed thru
the Germans said that we were in a
sack. So we were in one sense. But
we had to make an opening in that
solid line of defense, as a start in our
plans. We knew the hardest work
would come after the great main at
tack. and this is so far accomplished
that il is the Germans now who are in
a sack
IF we prefer to end the summer Of
fensiye and walt for spring, when we
shall have quadruple the NUMBER OF
guns and so much ammunition that we
shall have to keep up daily battle OF
guns on four time the length of the
present front, with all the shell fire
