The South Dakota State college vet
Urinary department. performs large
service to THE state in the prevention
of animal diseases along threesdistinct
'sines: "a educational, such as class
work, farmers meetings, newspaper
articles and answers to inquiries by
farmers; t29 sadiagnostic examinations
upon specimens sent in by farmers;
and (3) the production of hog cholera
serum.
Practical instrnctional work In All
NAL diseases and control is given to
the students in the college, the school
of agriculture, and the dairy short
course the object being to teach the
students the importance of disease
prevention and the best methods for
its application. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the value to South Dakota in
having nearly 200 students carrying
this sensible instruction each year to
all parts Of the state to be applied not
only ON their own farms but on the
farms of their neSghbors as well, and
not only during a single year but. dur
ing a period of years.
Or. C. G. Lipp, head of he depart
ment, and his assistants, have led dis
cussions of disease prevention at farm
meetings during the last few years
with great results. In n county
alone a series of meetings were held
for three days. and it was demon
.strated by the figures collected that at
least $4,000 was saved to that one;
county in one year by the informa-
ton given to the farmers. The de.
partment acknowledges the valuable
service rendered by the newspapers
and farm papers of the state in spread
ing broadcast helpful information re-
1atiye to practical farm veterinary
topics.

college receives annually hundreds Of

charge in order to determine what
disease, if any, caused the death OF
the animals, SO that the owner may
determine upon proper measures for
preventing further losses. This ser
vice has saved the livestock breeders
OF South Dakota many thousands Of
dollars and forms no inconsiderable
part of the daily work Of the college
veterinarians.
During the past few years g total
of 100000 cubic centimeters OF
/ serum were produced BY the depart
iment-an amount sufficient to save
10000 shoats OF 100 pounds each
This serum was available to the farm
err Of the state at the actual cost Of
production. While this serum was
being produced, an up-to.date serum
laboratory was also being established.
This laboratory is now practically
completed and equopped with all the
latest and best devices for the pro-
duction of high quality serum at low
cost.
The South Dakota State college is
the only institution which has a vet
Urinary department engaged in this
work. 1t is the only institution main
tanning other courses in the state with
which veterinary work has any con
nection. The value of the livestock
OF the state and methods OF disease
prevention are advancing at rapid
rate. Farmers and stockmen are daily
bringing their livestock problems to
State college for assistance. The
work as it is now conducted in the
veterinary department cannot be cur-
tailed in any manner without a dec:d-
ed dindrance to the Development Of
the livestock industry In the state.
With a larger appropriation to further
develop its ability to assist in the
prevention of animal diseases, Its
field Of usefulness would be greatly
enlarged and he saving to the state
would amount to many times the
funds necessary for this purpose.

and Second street s. w. From the
corner of Maple street and Fifth ave-
nue. S., two blocks west to the corner
of Fifth avenue and First street S. w.
This is the proposed work for the
Third ward and will require fifty catch
basins. all Of which we estimate to
cost SIS, 700. 100.
In the First and Fourth wards, we
propose the following: From the
Of G.. avenue and Eighth street
N. E., one block east. From b. ave
u and Eighth street ~ b., one
block east. From the corner of First
avenue N, and Tenth street E., two
blocks west on First avenue N. From
the corner Of Kemp avenue and Elev-
enth street E., one and one-haH blocks
west on Kemp avenue This will re-
auire twelve catch basins and we es-
innate the cost of all to be $4,7OO.OO.
The present contract between the
city and the Offerman Construction
company does not provide for any
catch basins for the First and Fourth
wards. which leaves the system use
less until such time as they are pre-
vided. Il have therefore proposed to
install thirty catch basins for this e
sewer at aan estimated cost og s$2j4oO,
The present contract between the
city and the Offerman CONSTRUCTION
company does not provide for chang
ing the old outlet on Maple Streets,
to connect with the new sewer an
southeast w5tertown. Therefore Il
have planned. on making this change
at the corner Of Maple street and
Eighth avenue S., at an estimated
cost of $2,710.o0.
1t becomes necessary at this time
to repair the old sewer outlet at the
south end of Maple street, due TO
the washing ont OF the cement base
and .abuttment, which, with the clean
ing ssof the channel. we estimate to
cost S 100000.
