No Cause OF War nov Seen In Case.

Washlngt gton--The possibility that
the sinking of the American steamer
Housatonic will become a serious fac
tor In the crisis with Germany appar-
ently was eliminated by evidence that
the attacking submarine acted within
international law. American Consul
John G. Stephens at Plymouth, report
ed that warning was given and proYi-
sion made for the safety of the crew,
which landed at PenZance, England.
Seems Like Frye Case.
AZ the Housatonic was carrying con-
traband, any controversy over her de-
, struction is expected to present no
more serious an issue than a claim for
| monetary damages. II the consups re-
port is correct, the case apparently
falls into the SAME category as that OF
the American ship William P. Frye, de-
stroyed with a cargo of grain early In
the war by raider after her crew had
been taken off.

SANITATION IN TIE CONTROL OF
HOG CHOLERA

Hog cholera is highly infectious
and contagious disease. II should
be handled and dealt with like any
other contagious disease. II is car
ried from farm to farm by running
water, by dogs and birds, and on
the shoes of men. Farmers and hog
raisers can do a great deal to con-
troll and eradicate this disease on
their own premises by the obser-
vance Of scrupulous cleanliness in
the care of hogs and by the adoption
OF simple sanitary measures, and by
good hog-farm management.
Cooperation with your neigh
bors and with the Experiment Sta
ton in their efforts to control hog
cholera, by the observance Of the
following simple sanitary measures.
Burn the carcasses of all dead
hogs.
Isolate and quarantine all sick
hogs and all new stock until they
show freedom from disease.
Any hog of feed should be quar-
antined and watched.
Clean and disinfect your hog
houses.
Scatter freshly Stacked lime about
hog houses and hog lots once .
week. Rake up the dung and spent
lime and use il TO fertilize your
fields. Lime is one Of the cheapest
disinfectants and one Of the best
fertilizers.
Provide clean, dry quarters for
your hogs. A good hog house does
not cost much.
Do not pasture your hogs by a
running stream. Hog cholera Is car
ried for miles by running water.

WARNING TO HOG OWNERS

After spending five days in Rock
castle and Madison Counties, I am
convinced that it would be a patri-
otto duty Of every farmer, or hog
owner, TO read, study and carefully
carry out the suggestions offered
below in the article on Sanitation
and Control Of Hog Cholera.
We can't afford to lose our hogs
they are too high and scarce. We
must have meat for home use and
for our soldiers, and for our friends
across the sea.
