SAVE The HOGS: They
WILL Be MUCH NEEDED
Some Facts About the Joe and Abuse
Of Hog Cholera servm-sanitary
Measures Are Necessary.

The cry OF the nation. and Of th.
word, today. Is for food and yet more
food: and anyone who can, in any
way. conserve and INCREASE the food
supply Of the people at this time is q
true patriot.
To suggest that We should save our
hogs, At any time. but more especially
IN the oountrys present crisis, may
seon QUITE uncalled for. or even r.
dIculous. However. there are ono OF
two points in this connection which
rfay BE- overlooked. and will bear
s.rcssins.
The first Is With reference TO the
use and abuse Of serum Serum. as
every hog owner knows. II O valuable
protective agent against hog cholera.
tho demand for which seems 20 b. on
the Increase; and from all accounts.
tho State serum plant Is having all
Il csa DO 10 meet the requests for Sc.
rum that come to II.
Tas Intelligent and judicions use o!
serum ia all right. and Is To be com.
mended but may there not be Some
hog owners who order serum when
not really needed. or order quantities
far IN excess of what they actually re-
quire at the time. II so. and We think
It not improbable II means a waste
Of serum. and Is probably deprivins
others Of rs use on account OF a tenn
porary shortage Of The supply thereby
oocaSiooed.
In inteiiisentiy conserving the sc.
rum supply. therefore. II means coli
serving and increasing the peoples
food supply In hogs.
On the other hand. the one who.
through tho wasteful use. or abuse, Of
serum, deprives some one else OF It's
use In trying 20 save his hogs. Is not
only not aiding conservation. but the
very opposite,
The second point Is. the adoption Of
strict sanitary measures In connec.
ton with hog cholera The man who
docs not effectuAiiy destroy his choi.
srainfected carcassee. but permits
them to lie around exposed To Be- the
means Of spreading infection to his
own still healthy hogs, and to his
heishbor's herds, Is surely not using
his best efforts to conserve and m
crease the hog supply. and. therefore.
the food supply OF the people In hogs
and hog products.
And the same may b. said with ~
gard 10 thorough disinfection Of chol.
era-infected premises. etc. In order to
destroy infection and keep II from
spreading and killing moro hogs with
Cholera
In other words, the man who uses
eyery eendeavor to save the lives of
hts own hogs. and those Of his neigh
bors. Is a patriot In the truest sense
OF the torn. as he Ia showing that be
- trying his best to conserve and IN.
crease the nations food supply in
hogs.
There are many weys In which we
can display our patriotism; and this
Is a most important one which should
not be overlooked BY our hog owners
at this time OF the country's stress -

WILL CANCEL OPTION
ON POTASH CLAIMS

Unless some action is taken with
in the mex few days the option on
six potash claims, in the heart of
the recent strike near Lovelock, will
not be renewed, according to J.. c.
Smith, one of the original locators
of the claims. The option, which
was let several months ago to II.
A. Swanson and associates, has only
a few more days to run.
According to Smith. inquiries
have been received from several
large eastern manufacturing con-
Germs, some of which have already
sent out advance men to look over
the property. Although potash ex-
perts are hard to find. and the hold
ers of the option have so far been
unable to make a deal, the original
locatOrs are of the belief that the
next few months will see an expert
sampling of the property, and a
proving up of the worth of the dis
cOvery which caused so much ex-
element in mining circles when
made a few months ago.-Reno Ga
