(By Associated Pressl

Sacramento, Oct. 3.--The attention
Of Professor Gordon II. True Of the
state university farm at Davis has
been called to the fact that an IN
usually high percentage Of tubercu
losls in hogs has been noted by pack
ers in recent killings. f. l.. Wash
burn Of the Western Meat Company,
San Francisco, declared that the per
centage of condemnation Of hogs for
tuberculosis has run between 8 and 9
per cent in one week and : Per cent
IN another.
Regarding this condition and er-
forts to check the spread of the dis
ease among swine, Professor True.

division at the University harm, said:
"This condition would seem to be
due to the feeding Of raw skim milk
from tubercular cows. At time like
his, when pork products are so high
nd milk products SO valuable, it seems
he utmost folly for dairymen to take
5he chance Of feeding raw milk from
Questionable herds to their hogs
Il would Suggest that a special ef-
ort be made to secure the practice
IF pasteurizing or boiling milk that
fed to hogs. The freedom of Cali
o1nia hogs from tuberculosis would
automatically raise the price Of hogs

Grapes Profitable.
During the past few years it has
been proven that grapes are one OF
the most profitable fruits that car
be raised in this valley. Grape cul.
ture does not require much capita,
and the vines are not long in coming
into bearing. Thompson Seedless anC
Malagas are the principal varieties
grown in this valley. The grapes are
shipped early in June, thereby having
the entire country for a market, al
though the most of them are shipped
to the eastern markets. 1t is possible
to ship Muscats east and have then
arrive in good condition.
Among the vegetables that have
proven profitable are asparagus ant

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, November 16, 1917.

The early hours of this day are not
propitious for large activities, but in
the Afternoon Saturn and Uranus rule
strongly for good.
Uranus indicates the growth Of Sc
cret enterprises, whether in govern
ment or private affairs. The planet
is in a place making for the sort of
extreme caution that may overreach
its purpose.
This planet, which is supposed to
rule the intuition and to affect the
subliminal mind, is read as presa ging
many wierd occurrences that will lead
to the serious study of psychic phe-
nomena.
Under this rule of the stars events
will change with a startling sudden
ness and fear will spread. owing to
the reign of a planetary law which
brings about the unexpected astonish-
ing and extraordinary.
Saturn appears to be friendly to all
who have interests in the ground,
whether they be agricultural or min
ing. This sway is likely to benefit men
in the trenches and those who work
In subways.
The old again come into their own
with the beginning of the new year.
which will call many men and women
back to active life from retirement.
An aged army officer will gain fame.
The lunation of the fourteenth, in
the sixth In square to Uranus, is be-
lieved to denote trouble with some de-
partment of the government and to
augur new problems for the President.
There is a most menacIng sign for
aviation. presaging accidents, but at
the same time promising progress in
invention.
The death Of a financier's son or the
son OF man who has a place in the
Sun Is foreshadowed.
Persons whose birthdate It is have
the promise Of n fairly happy year,
but they must not take any risks. The
young will have love affairs.
Children born on this day will be
gifted, free and generous. in all prob
ability. but these subjects of Scorpio
are not often successful in making
money.
