anyone on the stand. As the Guests began to come in they all wondered what it was for.
 "'Take your Partners for the first Dance, cried the Fairy Queen.
 And then the Ferns on the Moss stand began to move, and right out i'll the front of the stand stepped the Fairy Ybab with her orchestra of Fai= ries and little Wood Creatures. They were all dressed in gowns of Ferns. and the Fairy Ybab waved long, big Fern for the others to keep time hX.
 But I must tell you about the cos tunes, for they were so beautiful. The Brownies all came wearing little suits of green and tall green hats. Every one was so surprised to see them in green for, of course, they seldom wear any color but their favorite brown.
 "The Elves wore costumes made of pine needles, and they made almost the greatest impression of all. The Fairies wore every color you can pos Sibly think of, so Fairyland was ablaZe with color.
 Last of all came the Butterflies Tn their very, very best. And you know the best suits and dresses of the But tertlieS are about as handsome as any you can find.
 'They all danced for a very long time until at last the Fairy Queen called out, Supper is ready. and we're going to have it around the Throne. Come gather around
 "Al the Guests hurried to the Fairy Queens Throne-but before they had a chance to get there-all of q sud den-what should they see before them but tables-countless tables which were nothing else but the Toadstool family who had lent themselves for the occasion.
 Around the tables all the Elves and Brownies, and Fairies sat on still smaller Toadstools which made excel lent seats. The Butterflies sat on the Tables-where they were not the least scrap in the way, and they liked to filter forth from one Toadstool to an- other and taste the different Flowers the Fairy Queen had scattered about
 "Yes. there was delicious Flower honey for the Butterflies, and every time they flew from one Toadstool to another the Fairy Queen would wave her wand and fresh Flowers would fall down-just like q storm of Flowers.
 For dessert the Butterflies had wen- derful honey from Wild Roses. And the rest of the guests had all the goodies they wanted-but at the very end of the Supper, the Fairy Queen said:
 Now for the Grab Bag '
 Just then an enormous black Bird flew down, carrying bag many times larger than he was, and after dropping it in a corner of the wooded grove, he flew about over it, blowing and pufiinl for all he was worth. The Bag seemed to get bigger every minute
 Enough" " said the Fairy Queen and the black Bird stopped blowing into the Bag and flew over to saucer of Worms and a dish of fresh Water the Fairy Queen had ready for hin behind her throne.
 Then she waved her wand and tolt all her Guests to try for the grab bag Such fun as they all had, and they got marvellous presents out of the Bag For the Butterflies there were Baskets made of Flowers holding very rare honey-which was the biggest surprise of all"

sultin@ profits largely depend upon successful hog raising. h Iowa, Mis- Souri, Illinois and other great hog raising states, the hogs follow the cattle; they eat after the cattle. Com bined 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 SD absolutely discour- aging as hog cholera. It's devastation is almost complete. With drove of 100 or perhaps 1000 prime hogs just ready for the market, he has almost the feel of the money-Sf, ,0o0 or S10, 000-within his hand. They are healthy and fat. Il sight good 10 look upon. Then hog on an adjoining farm ruhs 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 dozen strag glers Even with q good bank ac- 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 a thousand hogs may be swept away i1l hn 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 see 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 cost of 9 cents is good business, and when the government manufactures serum on 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 it should be by means of the Dorset serum, the United States in two years can be re stored to it's old place as the greatest meat exporting nation in the world The appropriation of half 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

 Iowa, has been waging
 great fight i'll behalf
 I of the American hog,
 which it seems passing IH strange, in view of the amazing array of facts which the senator has presented, has not been
 undertaken by anybody before. The American investment in the hog business represents some $700, 100000, the number of hogs on the farms last year being G1,0O0,000; yet there is no other animal which suf fers such tremendous loss from dis ease-through hog cholera
 It is estimated that the loss of port last year through this disease reached the enormous total of 95,000,- 0oo pounds, or ten pounds of meat for every man, woman, and child in the United States-a net loss of some $60.- 100000. 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- lieyed, by perhaps $20000,000 or $25,- ee00e0. while as far back as 1897 the loss was stated by the federal bu- reau of animal industry to be not far from S100,000000 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 drove of hogs it usually sweeps through it like whirlwind, killing in period of 15 or 20 days from 8 to 95 per cent of the drove. When the remedy, or rather preventive treatment is ap- piled, the loss is reduced to less than l per cent.
 In presenting these facts, Senator Kenyon was principally quoting our own department of agriculture, which, if it 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 S500,000 to enable Nhe 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, q serum developed by Dr. NJ 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 the human family. Doctor Dorset has patented his priceless process 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 practiced by the department of agriculture, and the more progressive of the hog raising states, presents one of the most in- teresting 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 il is a germ has been determined only by actual experiments in in noculating healthy hogs with the

blood of cholera diseased animals.
 The antieholera serum which is in- jeeted into healthy hogs to render them immune is obtained by taking Il naturally immune hog, or one which has recovered from cholera, and in- jeeting into it's circulation some blood from Il hog suffering from bad case of cholera. Outwardly this treatment affects the immune hog only slightly II does not give it cholera, but it makes the animal still more highly immune-hyper-imm 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 amount of blood thus obtained the anticholera 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 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 iection of some blood from 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 il,a t1 Dth S,Iff ing from hog cholera. All of which indicates the fact that q large amount of careful experimentation has been undertaken by the bureau of animal industry of the department of agri- culture.
 With such 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 golden harvest through the sale of their worthless and even dan gerous connections. In order to pre- vent the manufacture and sale of these fake remedies, 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 in badly afflicted droyes the treatment has saved 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- |
