HOG CHOLERA INFECTS 20
FARMS NEAR MONTROSE

Twenty farms around Montrose have
reported infection of hog cholera, ac-
cording to the Montrose Press. DIR.
C. F. Harrington of the United States
department of agriculture is now in
that city working with DR.. w. L.
Brown, the local veterinarian, trying
to control the terrible disease which
almost ruined the hog industry in the
San Luis valley until the ranchmen
got together and paid high price for
an expert to stay with the job until the
farms were cleared of the cholera. so
far as known there is absolutely no
cure for the disease, but it may be pre-
vented by inoculation, something like
blackleg in cattle. The doctors are
urging the farmers of Nontroae coun-
ty TO inoculate their herls and 70 pse-

FLU EPIDEMIC HITS LIVE
STOCK IN THE EAST

Montrose Press
Reports from the east are TO the
effect that some sort of disease or
epidemic similar to that which has
been affecting people, has been at
taCking live stock. Contemporary
with the Flu in human beings, cattle,
horses, and sheep have been having
what is thought to also be the Flu.
Reports locally are to the effect
that a similar disease in live stock is
similar to the Flu in persons. There
is high fever, difficult breathing and
the disease often leads to pneumonia.
There is said to be a preventative
by vaccination, and local veterinarians
are busy with the serum, several hun
vaccinated hcreabouts.
While there have been a number of
cases of this peculiar disease among
live stock in this section, the number
of fatal cases are small, just few
hundred succcumbed.
The disease is infections just the
same as among humans. 1t is unlike
ANYTHING else in the list of animal
diseases, but it may be a form of
hemorrhoidal septiccmia. 1t is stated
that some of the old-time stock dis
eases are appearing in new guise and
that the new disease may be some old
one in a new guise with new symp-
toms. However, it is known as live
stock Flu for want of better name.
Doubtless within a short time vet
erinarian experts will make a report
on the new ailment and tell the pub
lie what it is.

RUSSIAN THISTLE USED
FOR cow FEED

The Russian thistle, considered one
of the most noXious weeds in New
Mexico, is now declared by many
stockmen in that section TO be Of value
as stock feed. Some farmers in San
Ia Re county already have put up
large stacks of from five TO fifty tons
to be used for wintering stock this
season. Its value as a feed was dis
covered during the last two years Of
drought when it was the only thing
which stood between the stock of the
region and starvation. The caunty
agricultural agent of Santa
f. County is urging the building Of
silos TO be filled with Russian thist'Cs,
which it is also reported make excel

garten sewing cards which are per-

worsteds, are interesting and instruc-
tive. An economical way to procure
such cards is for the father or mother
to cut squares or oblongs out of
cardboard, lightly trace an apple,
ball, or some other object on one of
the pieces and then perforate the out
lines every half inch, making the
holes as large as the head of a pin.
These outlines can then be sewed by
the child in bright colors, working up
and down in the holes. Be sure the
outlines of the object to be sewed are
large, as small objects are too trying
for young hands and eyes.
