TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

Governor Pleasant has called a
special election in Lafourche to
ill vacancy i'll the office of clerk
of court Of that parish to come off
May 3. There are several other
vacancies to be filed seven or
eight III the LEGISLATURE that
the people Of Louisiana will have
some election work to do to fill
these positions. The trouble,
however, IS not on this score but
over the expense Of these supple
mentary elections. Many com
plants have been made as TO the
cost; and the indications are that
public sentiment is willing to
change the plan of filing the va
cancies by appointment instead Of
elections. II has been even sus-
gested that in ease of an extra ses-
sion it might be advisable to
change the law on this point.
This idea should not be encour-
aged, and any extra session called
should be limited to the specific
purpose of Strengthening out the
tangle over the farm bank loaas.
It would hefmost unusual to bring
in any other issue and especially
over which there may be a if
ference Of opinion. and if is ny
no means certain that the Icgps-
Iature would be willing to aban-
don the democratic doctrine Of |
the election Of all officials. The |

chased hogs should not be introduced
into a herd known to be free from
the disease until they have been tu-
berculin tested. The intradern1al
method of applying tuberculin tests
have been tried on hogs and given
excellent results. A farmer wish
ing to make certain that his swine
are free from the disease should avail!
himself of this test, which is described
in the bulletin. Unfortunately few
hogs with the disease ever show the
presence of tuberculosis by outward
symptoms. In fact, in slaughter
houses, many hogs, which are found
on post mortem examination to be
tubercular, seemed to be the finest
animals in the droves. As tubercu-
losls frequently attacks the hogs on
farm where there are tubercular
cattlefi the tuberculin test should be
applied to all the cattle on the place
and all tubercular animals among
them should be isolated or DESTROYED
at the time of disposing of the hogs.
A farm may be stocked, rapidly
with healthy swine after the total
slaughter of tubercular lot. The
early age at which the sow may be
bred, her capacity for breeding twice
a year and the plural number of her
offspring are forceful arguments for
the total destruction Of every dis
eased drove of hogs and the breeding
up in clean, healthy quarters of a
sound, healthy drove in its stead.
1t behooves hog raisers to see that
their skinned milk has been properly
heated before they feed it. Legisla-
tion making such heating by cream
cries compulsory affords simple and
easy way of greatly reducing hog tu-
berculosis.
A serious outbreak of tuberculosis
among hogs in Switzerland was over
come by boiling all of the separated
milk before feeding it to the subse-
quent litters of young pigs.
The Bureau Of Animal Industry is
endeavoring to locate infected farms
or at least infected localities, and tc
ascertain the direct cause of the
spread of the disease in these dis
tricts. Owing to the number Of
hands through which hogs go before
reaching the abattoirs this is moi
easy, but it can be and is being ac-
complished. Already, through coop.
Grafton with the state authorities, 2
large number of infected farms have
been definitely located. The condi.
tions on these farms have been in
vestigated, the source of the disease
determed, and methods for its sup.
preston recommended. Both the bu.
reau and state officials have been
workings with these ends in view
When hogs have been found to be
tubercular when slaughtered under

farm from which they came has been

empowered by law to quarantine any

looks for the source of infection. This
