CHOLERA CONTROL

In the Mississippi valley there is farmer who has been raising pure-bred hogs for 15 years. During that time cholera has never visited his herd, al- though it has often caused trouble in his neighbours lots on adjoining farms. Moreover, he has never vaccinated a hog. Regarding vaccination as last resort he says that his freedom from cholera is due to the preventive and quarantine measures he has followed.
 To begin with this mans hog lots are situated back from the road. There are no streams through the lots. The loca- ton prevents germs being carried by running water, or by animals that might stray into the road He has observed that when an outbreak occurs in a lot bordering on stream, other outbreaks soon occur farther down the stream
 Sanitation is just as prominent in the preventive measures as is isolation. Lit ter and rubbish are not allowed to ac- and the charcoal formed aids in keep ing the hogs in condition to resist dis ease.
 Every day the feeding floors are cleaned and flushed off Coal tar disin- fectants are sprinlSled about the houses every few days. All the buildings and fence posts are then whitewashed or painted. A strict quarantine is main- tained on the farm. Dogs are not al- lowed in the lots.
 These precautions are sufficient to check the spread of the disease When such means are used vaccination is often unnecessary and cholera seldom present.

stover can be used very economically in the rations of almost all kinds Of live stock. They can be used in the fat tening rations of all farm animals ex- cept hogs, and should compose the larger part of all wintering or keeping rations for cattle, sheep and horses. Breeding herds of beef cattle or dry dairy cows can be successfully kept on rations com posed largely of these roughages. Flocks of breeding ewes do well on such feeds when some grain is added. Horses do- ing very light work or no work at all need little grain if given a plentiful allowance of clean, light straw or stover Under certain conditions, of course, the grain should be added to the ration, but COW it should be conserved as large ly as possible for human consumption The bulletin mentioned suggests various rations which are made up principally of these waste feeds.

WINTER SUPPLIES

A family of five, including two adults and three children under 12 years of age, under ordinary living conditions, should have stored for each month of the winter season the following food SUD- plies: One bushelSo of Irish potatoes, one half bushel of other root vegetables such as carrots, turnips and parsnips, 25e quarts of canned vegetables and 20 quarts of canned fruit and preserves. These fig ures are based on estimates by the United States department of agriculture, which adds that most of this should come from the perishable products of the many home gardens of this year.
 With these figures as basis, it is thought that almost any family may calculate it's requirements, taking into consideration the length of the winter season in any given locality. Thus, in the south, where food crops may be grown in the fall, the winter allowance may be less than for the far north, where one must count on supplies for several months longer.
 There is still time, says the depart ment, for a final drive in canning, pre- serving and drying. Tn using dried vege- tables, it may be assumed that a given quantity of dried vegetables is equal to four times its bulk of canned vege- tables; that is, one-fourth of a quart of dry string beans when soaked over night is approximately equal to one quart canned

Oats Not a Hog Feed


 Hogs fed a ration consisting of oats and tankage made slower gains and required more feed per pound of gain than those given corn and tankage ill feeding tests at the Ohio station. The use of oats is profitable only when the grain is much lower in price than corn. One lot fed nine parts corn to one tank age gained one and three fourths pounds day, and at 430 pounds feed for 100 pounds gain. while another lot fed oats and tankage in the same proportion gained only a pound apiece daily and required 5n pounds of feed for 100 pounds gain.
 Representative hogs of the two lots dressed 80.3 per cent and 761 per cent re- spectively. The pork from the corn-fed hog contained a larger amount of fat than that from the oats-fed hog. Because of the coarse. fibrous nature of oats, anil nal husbandmen advise against the feed ing of this grain to hogs except in small quantities, and then only when oats are cheap.

California Fruits

Remarkable efficiency in the market ing of perishable agricultural products is revealed in the annual report or the California Fruit Growers exchange, a growers cooperative organization which markets e9 per cent of all the oranges. lemons and grapefruit grown in Cali fornia. The exchange, during the E months ending August 51, shipped 15,492,- 990 boxes of citrus fruit at cost of 4ss cents box Members of the exchange received $336 ,0oO for their crops and not penny was lost through bad debts or other causes. The report, issued yes terday, adds that in the last IA years the business of the growers assoc1a- tiom has amounted to S226 6,100000, on which losses from bad debts and all other causes has been less than $S000, or about one-third of one-thousand of per cent. The total California citrus crop of last season amounted to 53,S30 carloads.
 The exchange is composed of 5000 grow CTS and acts as a clearing house for the bulk of the California crop. Growers pool their fruit which is then graded in 150 packing houses, and, under the direc- tion of the central office distributed through the organizations 70 sales of- fees to all parts of the country. The service is performed at absolute cost.
 The citrus industry has virtually been organized upon a manufacturing basis. For advertising in newspapers and other periodicals each box of oranges is as sessed 2I4 cents and every box of lemons 4 cents. Last year this netted fund of nearly s500000 for publicity work Ac- cording to the report, the growers look to advertising to increase the consump- ton of oranges and lemons and thereby ,n1r for r,if e c crops During the 10 years in which advertising has been done, the consump- ton of citrus fruits has increased 80 per cent, or four times as rapidly as pop ulation.
 The growers in the exchange have their own mutual Insurance compact They operate a supply company which last year purchased for it's members packing house and orchard supplies worth s5, 459,5H A large tract of timber land with sawmills and numbering equipment from which box wood is made is owned and operated by the growers. In order to dispose of the unmerchantable lemons a by-products plants has been construct ed which last year converted per cent of the lower grades into citric acid and other by-products. The interests of the growers are guarded by a traffic de- partment and legal department and other staffs of experts.
 The crops of oranges and lemons last year were the largest ever shipped and California provided 71 per cent of the lemons consumed in America. The bal ance were imported.
 In order to provide an efficient mar keting medium for California farmers who have planted vegetables extensively in response to the requests of the gov ernment the exchange Is temporarily opening it's marketing facilities to vege- table shippers.

HAIR ON Face
WHAT CAUSES IT

Nature does not produce coarse
bristly growths of superfluous hair.
They are caused by the unwise use
of so-called hair removers, which
merely remove hair from the sur
face of the skin, just like razor.
The only common-sense way to re-
move hair is to attack 1t under
skin. DsMiracle, the original san
itary liquid. operates on this prin-
ciple 1t alone contains certain
which give Il tho power
to rob hair of it's vitality. 1t does
this by absorption.
DeMiracle works equally well for
removing hair from face, neok, arms,
underarms or limbs to prevent 1t
from showing through stockings.
Insist on the genuine DeMiracle.
