Some Facts
Concerning Hog Cholera
Or. w. M. Burson, Professor of Veter-
mary Med, State Col. of Agriculture.

Hog cholera is an infectious disease.
It is caused by germs. These germs
are present in the blood and all parts
of the sick hog. The germs will live
il. infected soil for a long time.
Hog cholera may be spread by any.
thing that comes into contact with the
sick hog, the dead carcass or premi-
ses occupied by or contaminated by
sick hogs or their excrement
Hogs suffering from mild cases OF
hog cholera spread the germs far and
wide until death or complete recovery
takes place.
Wallow holes harbor infection for
long time. Disinfect them.
Hogs may become infected with
cholera by being fed on hotel and
restaurant garbage containing pork
scraps. If you must feed this mate
rial protect your hogs with serum.
Hogs fed on offal from slaughtering
develop cholera and many other dis
eases. This should be prohibited by
law
No breed of hogs are naturally i'm.
mune to cholera. All are susceptible.
Hog cholera serum win prevent hog
cholera, 1t will cure some cases in
the early stages of the disease. Early
treatment of sick herds gives best re.
suits.
The length of time treated hogs are
immune after treatment depends on
many factors, such as age, environ
ment, and method of treatment
Serum alone is simple to admins
ter, not apt to do harm and generally
produces only temporary immunity.
Serum simultaneous (serum and vi
rus) if carelessly or injudiciously adj
ministered, may do great damage
When properly used confers perma-
nent immunity
On infected premises disinfectants
should be literally used. Coal tar disin-
fectant. is cheap and effective. It
should be used in per cent strength
and applied to hog houses by means
of spray pump.
Whitewash containing per cent
coal tar disinfectant serves double
purpose. 1t deodorizes and disin-
fects
Good drainage is essential in all
sanitary work.
Rotation of hog lots and pastures
does much to keep the hogs healthy.

RUSSIA's HARD BLOWS.

There is no greater surprise con-
rected with the great European war
than the manner in which the Rus
sian army has risen from its long
sleep and is SCATTERING the forces that
are thrown against it by the Austro-
Germans. 1t reminds one of the big
drive which the Russians started two
years ago and which they had to dis
continue because of scarcity of ammu-
milton.
Despite all of the misgivings which
the world had regarding the Russians
as result of the unsettled conditions
in that country, the movements of the
army indicate that the old time morale
is with the troops, and that their Off
GERS are leading them along from vic
tory to victory with as consummate
skill as any officers of the entire war
have shown. That the Russians should
have come out of chaos into such com
nlete organization in such a short time
| is a great tribute to the recuperatiye
powers of the Russian army organiza-
ton.
For a great many months the world
had every reason to believe that Ger
man influences were dominating the
Russian fighting forces to the point OF
multiplying the morale of the army 1t
was said that the soldiers of Germany
and Austria were having daily confabs
with the Russians and that the friendly
spirit which was being built UP along
the firing line was coming Dangerously
near destroying the offensive spirit of
the Russian soldiers. 1t is unquestion-
ably true that the Russians were in
very bad fix until their leaders awoke
to the danger that was confronting the
army, as well as the country.
The visit of the commission from the
United States evidently had the effect
of satisfying the democratic leaders Of
the spirit which animates the Ameri'
can people in the present war. 1t
showed the Russians that the fight on
Germany is a fight against an autocra
cy that threatens the integrity of all the
democracies of the world. When the
Russian democrats realized what they
were up against their spirit began to
fight its way along the Russian
trenches in inducing the soldiers with
realization of the danger which they
and their country were facing.
Out of the plots and conspiracies of
the Germans to destroy the Russian
morale and out of a realization of the
menace, which negative army was
about to bring to the country, has
arisen the new Russian spirit. 1t comes
!
forth with new life and greater vigor,
like the quickened plant which comes
/ from dead grain. If Russia keeps on
inficting the terrific blows which her
army is now throwing against the enc
my. it will not be long before the Aus
trians will be ready to sue for the
peace which they are evidently want

MAY ENLARGE DISTRICT.
Commissioners Again Delay Action
on Black River Project.

After having virtually decided
Monday to authorize a drainage dis

in the limits originally proposed by
the petitioners, and to establish an
other district later to take care Of
others who want their property in
cluded, the county commissioners
Tuesday, upon protest of Mrs. Kate
L. Young, postponed final action un-
til next Monday.
Mrs. Young asserted that the adj
ditional land could be included in
the first district without delaying the
work and, if the commissioners are
satisfied on this point, it is likely
that they will incorporate all of the
property into an enlarged district.
This point is to be discussed at the
hearing next Monday.

FIRE IN BUSINESS
SECTION OF TEN|M0
THREE BUILDINGS AND CON-
TENTS DESTROYED IN
BIG BLAZE.

The biggest fire in Tenino since
| 1908, when the then just finished
new A. O. U. w. hall and most of
the business section of the town
were wiped out, says the Tenino
News, occurred early last Thurs
day morning when the Masonic Tenn
pie, the Central hotel and the build
ing between the two and the entire
contents were totally destroyed by
fire. The Masonic Temple was owned
by the local lodge, and the other two
buildings by T. F. Mentzer.
The fire started some time between
and 3 o'clock this morning in the
building between the hotel and the
Masonic Temple. The upper floor of
this building was occupied by the
hotel and the front of the lower floor
by Gene Fryou's barber shop, the
rear part being unoccupied.
The buildings were all wooden
structures and in about an hour they
were a mass of smouldering ruins.
But while it lasted the fire was hot
one, as all the plate glass in the
fronts of the buildings across the
street were shattered into small bits
or so badly cracked that they must
be replaced. A representative from
Fuller & Fuller of Tacoma, said that
at conservative estimate it will cost
$1,000 to replace it.
The Masonic and Eastern Star
lodges estimate the loss on lodge and
banquet room furniture and para
phernalia, and the building 5000,
with $4,000 insurance.
J. H. Harris, who occupied the
ground floor Of the Masonic Temple,
estimates his loss at $4,000, with
small insurance.
T. F. Mentzer's loss on buildings
is $4,000, and is insured for $4,000.
The loss on the hotel furnishings
is estimated at $1,000 with $500 in
surance.
Gene Fryou, whose barber shop
was in the building next to the hotel
Office, reports $500 loss.
D. d. Axtell of the Tenino Market,
which is located in the brick block
north of the hotel. says that $25 will
cover the damage done to sheds and
chicken coops in rear of the shop.
Damages to goods in the show
windows across the street are report
ed as follows: Campbell & Camp
bell, $3.50; Monarch Drug Store,
81; Hardware & Furniture Co.,
$3.50, and E. w. Flagg's jewelry
store, $50.

Drafted Man Demented.

A man, apparently demented, upon

words: "E. r. Foss, Los Angeles
City No. L." was picked up by the
local police early Wednesday morn
ing, wandering around Olympia in a
dazed condition. He was unable to
tell his name or anything about him
self, except to say he had been draft
ed and was looking for Camp Lewis.
Chief Cusack phoned the military
authorities at the camp and at their
instruction took the man to Camp
Lewis Thursday.

FARMERS ADVISED NOT
TO START DRUG GROWING
State College Recommends Cultiva-
ton of All Staple Crops.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
PULLMAN, Nov. 9.-Far m s
throughout the Northwest, attracted
to the financial possibilities apparent
in the producing of drug-bearing
plants by such items as belladonna
seed at SIS a pound, and the govern
ment bid for 10000 pounds of digi-
tails for use in the army and navy,
are in great number writing for drug
seed, and information on the growing
of drug plants, but in every instance
are advised by the school of phar-
macy of the state college to stay with
their regular farm crops regardless of
the skyrocket market prices for diff
ferent drugs.
Explaining why he opposes the
agriculturists in their desire to enter
upon drug production, DR.. P. H. Dir
slime, head of the school of pharmacy,
states that there now is a wartime
need for abundant crops of wheat,
livestock, dairy products and the like.
quite as vital as the wartime need of
drugs. From the viewpoint of the
war alone American agriculture
should not turn from the food crops
to drugs.
He says that in the producing of
drug plants special methods and spe-
cial knowledge are required, and that
the novice in drug farming would
likely fail; also that relatively
small acreage will supply even the
enlarged needs of the world, and
that any wholesale departure from
the food crops of farming to drugs
would overstock the market with
drugs, leaving the farmers with no
profitable market for their drug
plants.

COUNTY AIDS FARMERS
IN PARK ROAD PROTEST
Offers to Help Maintain Highway
Council Orders Conference.

A delegation of Gull Harbor farm
ers, backed by County Commission
ers Sans and Dodge, appeared before
the city council Tuesday evening and
protested vigorously to the regula-
tions recently enacted. prohibiting
the hauling of wood or heavy loads
over the roads through Priest Point
park.
Park Commissioners Blakeslee
and Jones upheld the rules of the
board, declaring it could not obtain
the money to KEEP the roads in repair.
Commissioner Sans then said that if
the city wanted help in maintaining
the roads, the county would furnish
it. statement which Commissioner
Dodge later endorsed.
Both the farmers and the commits
sioners objected to the regulation
barring the hauling of wood through
the park, Sans pointing out that
"a ton of potatoes weighs as much
as ton of wood" eff the council
should regulate the weight Of loads
to be permitted on the roads or the
width of tires, there will be no OBJ
jection," he added.
After considerable discussion. the
council instructed the street commit
tee and the park board to confer with
the county commissioners in an effort
to reach an agreement, and to report
to the next meeting.

ut has long been the honored Gus
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
full autumn of the year in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to us
as nation. That custom we can fol-

Thankful for Ability to Aid.
1--WE have been given the opportu-
nifty to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day of
our declaration of independence, by
taking up arms against tyranny
that threatened to master and debase
men everywhere and joining with
other free peoples in demanding for
all the nations of the world what we
then demanded and obtained for our
selves. In this day of the revelation
of our duty, not only to defend our
own right as nation, but to defend
also the rights of free men through
out the world, there has been vouch-
safed us in full and inspiring meas
ure the resolution and spirit of united
action. We have been brought to
one mind and purpose. A new vigor
of common counsel and common ac-
ton has ben revealed in us.
"We should especially thank God
that in such circumstances, in the
midst of the greatest enterprise the
spirits of men have ever entered
upon, we have, if we but observe a
reasonable and practicable economy,
abundance with which to supply the
needs of those associated with us, as
we'll as our own. A new light shines
about.us. The great duties Of day

"And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of spirit
we may look always to Him for guild
ance; that we may be kept constant
in the spirit and purpose of service /:
that by His grace our minds may be
directed and our hands strengthened,
and that in His good time liberty
and security and peace and the COM

and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from

Leghorns The Best Layers

Recent experiments conducted by poultrymen with the the De- partment of Agriculture show that Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than hens of the general purpose breeds, including Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons. Wyan- dottes, and Plymouth Rocks. This statement Is based on the fact that Leghorns eat on an av- craze about 55 pounds of food per head as compared with 70 to 85 pounds eaten by the general purpose breeds. At the same time they lay as many or more eggs, and the egg yield exceeds that of the general purpose breeds during the second and third laying years. Leghorns, therefore, are thought to be more profitable for tLe production of eggs only.

a strain of corn which will be practically weevil resistant.

a strain of corn which will be practically weevil resistant.
 In fact, weevils in corn can be prevented by husking the corn in the field. In so doing you will leave most of the weevils in the field. Moreover, corn when stored with husks on will be sub ject to about four times the amount of damage done through weevils, than unhusked corn.
 In husklng, have a division in the wagon bed; on one side put all the badly infested ears, and on the other put the sound ears. A box may be attached to the back of the bed to receive seed ears. In storing, put all the sound ears ln the back of the bin and those which are infested in front of the bin so that the latter will be used up first.

Pick Weeyil Resistant Corn

The best authorities are agreed that the best way to se- lect seed corn is to go into the field, since there is a great deal more to the corn than the ear. the stalk playing an important part in the matter. One thing that the farmers of Arkansas have to look out for is the weevil which usually destroys great quantities of corn in storage each year. l.. w. Osborn. Agrono : mist at the University of Arkan
 sas, says that seed ears which have tendency to be resistant to weevil can be selected as we'll as those that have the most desira- ble characteristics for the pro duction of grain. In picking seed corn which will be most re- sistant to weeyil, select ears with tight husks and we'll covered tips. If this is borne in mind, it will be possible in time to select
