certain sections. The reports to DR..
Hoskins indicate that there has been
little tendency for the disease to
spread in those few cases where It has
appeared this year. This is without
doubt due to the promptness with
which a diagnosis was made, treat
ment was applied and sanitary meas
ures were taken to prevent infection
Of herds on other farms. eff sickness
among hogs is allowed to go dnnotic-
ed, the presumption being that it is
not hog cholera, inestimable damage
may be done through the unconscious
spread of the Infection" Doctor Hos
kins says. "The longer treatment is
delayed, the smaller the percentage
of hogs that can be saved by the ad-
ministration of serum. This has tee,i
amply demonstrated in the last few
years. The prompt quarantining of a
farm where cholera is only suspected
will frequently prevent unnecessary
spread of the disease. If the trouble
turns out to be something beside hog
cholera, no particular harm has beer
done. A far greater loss might re-
suit from allowing farm to go un-
quarantined, because the presence CT

many cases some obscure disease mas
turned out to be hog cholera not dis
covered until infection nearby mas be-

BIG DITCH SYSTEM PROPOSED
Would Drain Crow Lake, Deepen the
Crow River and Give Belgrade
Sewers.

A big ditch project that contem-
plates the drainage of Crow lake
through Crow river and a series of big
bitches, has been started by the filing
Of a petition by Henry M. Hendrick-
son and others asking for a judicial
ditch between Stearns and Kandiyohi
counties.
The project is not fully outlined in
the petition but it is understood that
Crow lake, which is now only a big
marsh not suited for boating, swim
ming or fishing, will be drained and
that several changes will be made in
the south fork of Crow river by deep
ening, widening and Strengthening
that water course.
A large amount of land will be re-
claimed by the project and it is under
stood that Belgrade will be given an
opportunity to install proper sewer
age system. 1t is understood that the
bitches with latterals will be nearly
40 miles in length.
The court will be requested to- set a
date when hearing can be held on
the necessity Of the ditch and the
proper engineering steps taken.

WILL DESTROY BAD WEEDS

Quack grass, Canada thistle and
sow thistle, the most troublesome per-
ennial noxious weeds in Minnesota can
be eradicated by ysproper and thorough
tillage. This tillage should begin as
soon as the crops are off the ground,
because the weeds smother best il
very hot weather. If it is possible to
find time to give extra cultivation DIR
ing the harvest season, a few days
spent in fighting the weeds then will
be rewarded highly. On land with
quack grass it is well to cut the crop
as early as possible. AS soon as the
crop is out of the way, the land should
be plowed six or eight inches deep to
bury the quack grass just as deeply as
possible. This plowing should be done
by the middle of August or earlier.
Following the plow with the disc har-
row, going over the land twice week
if time will allow, and keeping it
worked thoroughly until the middle of
September, when fall rye at the rate
of two bushels an acre may be sown,
frequently insures a clean field for
next year. The fall rye starts grow
ing promptly and crowds the Gnack
grass badly. After the rye crop is
harvested and the following year, if
the quack grass is not entirely de-
stroyed, the land should be plowed
early again and kept cultivated thor
oughly through the fall season. A
crop Of corn is good to follow the rye.
Canada thistle and SOW thistle can be
handled in much the same way, so far
as the first blowing is concerned.
Many roots of the Canada thistle will!
be killed if the land can be replowed
in the fall of cultivated with SPRING
tooth harrow, bringing the roots to
the surface just before the winter
freezes begin. Early bare fallowing
the land the next spring and planting
it to corn will give an opportunity to
complete the eradication Of the this

PAY LONG DELAYED VISIT

Mr.. and Mrs. Tony Minette re-
turned home the latter part of last
week from a visit with the latter's
parents at Conway, Mo-, says the
Long Prairie Argus. They were
accompanied on the trip by Mrs.
Minette's sister, Mrs. Will Santers, of
Sauk Centre. Neither of the ladies had
seen their parents in % years, and
succeeded in executing complete sur
prise by going home unexpectedly. On
the return trip Mrs. Santers left the
others at st. Louis, and returned to
her home, the Minettes visiting with
relatives in Port Washington, Wis,
Mr.. Minette's birthplace. He found
many Of his old friends there although
he had been gone for 81 years. They
also made short visits in Minneapolis
and ST. Cloud before returning to

Many old-time friends in Sank Cen

western Cotton Belt) railroad, died
Of kidney trouble, followed by paraly-
sis, at his home.
"He had been in poor health for a
year, but his condition was not con-
sidered serious until about a week
ago. Last Monday, after suffering a
stroke of paralysis at his summer
home at Mullet Lake, Wis, he was
brought to St. Louis on special train.
"Britton had been president of the
Cotton Belt since April %, 1912. Be-
fore being promoted to that position
he was for IL years vice-president
and general manager of the road.
"He was born in Ovid, N. Y, Nov.
29, 1850. He began his railway serv-
ice as telegraph operator in 1868
and served several roads in various
capacities before he became general
superintendent of the Cotton Belt in
1899. He was made vice-president
and general manager a year later.
