PREVENT HOG CHOLERA AND
 INCREASE PORK SUPPLY
By Dr. R. M Cow, State Veterinarian.
 University of Arkansas

By Dr. R. M. Cow State Veterinarian,
 University of Arkansas
 Hog cholera causes more than nine ty per cent of all the losses of hsgs every year in the United States. con sequently. in order to conserve our pork supply. we must control the hog cholera
 fn the South. whore the temperature is more or less uniform severe out breaks of hog cholera may occur at any season ef the year, but usually it Is most vtrllsnt and reaches its greatest height during the fall and winter, soon after hogs are brought up after running on the range during the warm weather.
 It is vell knovl. however. that hog cholera occurs h herd only through the introduction of the specific germ that causes it. Hoss affected with cholera discharge the germs from their bodies through the waste ma terial and the secretions of the eyes and nose; therefore the manure bed ding little of all sorts. and the dirt In pens where sick hogs are kept con tain the germs of the disease. These germs may enter the body of healthy hogs by means of food. or drinking water and probably also through the wounds in the skin.
 Thus, it can be readily seen that hog cholera germs are easily carried to and found in public stock yards and railroad cars. They are found in most every farm in the state. where they will remain virulent for year or longer Any agency which may be- litter or dirt from infected cara stock cars or farms t1 well herds may be the means of injecting animals.
 To Combat Cholera.
 In order to save your hogs the best thing is to have them vaccinated with double treatment It Is we'll known fact, of course, that sanitary hog-iots will help keep down the disease and more consideration should be given to the sanitary conditions Of our farms for the sake of the health of all classes of livestock Nevertheless. vaccination of hogs should not be put of We know that this win pre- vent choleha and since the serum is very reasonable In cost. there is no excuse for not using it. The office of Che state veterinarian will cooperate with farmers at all times In this work and the county agents with the Ex- tension Division of the University Of Arkansas are always glad to teach the farmers how to use the serum. It is understood, however. that they will not vaccinate the hogs. but will be glad to show the farmer how to do the work Serum can be purchased at cost from the State Serum Plant at Little Rock.

 The very next day after our com pany arrived at the trenches it was our lot to be sent to the firing trench es-the front line. There we received our baptism of fire which took a toll of several lives at the beginning. These casualties were from sTliping and oc- casional bursts of shell fire. We soon began to retaliate. Our trenches were quiet then as compared with the Ger mans, for in our fire we answered them i've to one.
 But my first real thrill was when a British aviator downed two boche air. men. Our sporting Canadian blood bat that we all stopped firing to watch i the scrap. A number of casualties was the direct result of it, as shrapnei 1 bursting overhead showered steel in our faces. But still we watched the fght~and cheered them when it was over.
 The ~great fight" came close to me however, for the first time when my chuin, Les Newman, "got it" It hap pened few days after we had entered l the trenches. Les for. some time had been sharpshooting and in doing so exposed himself to the Germans who were sniping. In those first days of the war we had no 1oopholes. and it was necessary for us to get up over the edge of the parapet to fire effec- lively. He had just begun shooting to kill that afternoon when German ! "got him" through the head He died 1 two weeks later

ON THE RIGHT COURSE.

Twill you cooperate or will you ob- strGctT" There wasn't much chance to haggls over such proposition as that when put up to the striking ship yard workers by President Wilson in his statement to W. l.. IIatehes6n, president of the Brotherhood of Car penters and Jeiherh. It was a case where they eould not fail to under stand that they were haznpering the efforts of the nation in the great task of turning out new ships when ships are one of the eeantry's greatest needs.
 President Wilson we'll said ''No body of men have the moral right in the present circumstances of tic nation to stfiIzo until every method Of adjust thent has been tried to the limit. If you do not act upon this principle you are thdeuBtediy giving aid and com fort to the e.1effy. whatever may be your own conscious purpose" That the presidents statement was given due consideration Is evidenced by the announcement that the strike has been called off and that the man will go back to werk and leave the dispute to be settled by the adjustment board.
 This Is a most sensible decision and the only regfetlahie thing abent, it is that 1t was not tesorted to iii the first ysaee without causing the government 10 lose the benefit Of their work dur ing the several days the strike has besh underway. Thefe never should have been any strike and it is to be sincerely hoped that any others whd may feel dissatisfied with working conditions will frvfit from the course which has been taken by the ship builders. They are at last pursuing g sensible course.

which is less accurately tested but which may he used with a fair degree of certainty at close range. Of late very few German torpedoes have proved effective unless at fairly close range and it has become unusual for U-boat commander to make any at. tempt at merchant ship unless he can get within 5U0 to 500 yards.
 The Germans are now using two types of torpedoes. They may be de- scribed as short charge and full charge torpedoes. The short charge is the one used mostly against mer- chant shipping and is fired at 800 to
 600 yards. The full charge which has probably twice the destructive force and is better made is reserved foi men-of-war. It is fired at greater distance and is used less frequently
 than the cheaper torpedo.
 But the comparative immunity oi the American destroyer from torpedo attack-despite the loss of the Jacot Jones and the slight ,disablement oi the Cassin--is noteworthy in this con nection. The Germans hate the Amer. ican destroyers as one of their wors enemies in their most fertile field o action and there is scarcely an Ameri.
 can destroyer but has had one ol
 more, German torpedoes fired at her yet only twice have the torpedoe: found their mark. The Americans and the British will whom they are cooperating so sue cessfally in this game of hunting "tin fish, attribute their immunity to tn,
 mobility of the destroyer. The alert | ness of the American naval mel coupled with their well known keen ness for offensive tactics against thu submarine have been responsible fo 1 their slight losses. Sharp lookout and skillful manouvering enable then l to cheat the Germans so often.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Patriotism of the Farmers.

MT. Editor: Having read the letter of J. H. Cummings in your paper of the 18th. wish to differ with the gentleman on the question of bucolic patriotism. First, I wish to say that am not farmer and so do not write with any prejudice, but I have been a day laborer on farm and as such have kept my eyes open. Of course every careful reader of The Bulletin has known MT. Cummings sentiments in the past, before public opinion ex- pressed in the pages of your paper, compelled him, to change of heart and his present knocking at the pa- triotism of the farmer can only be ascribed to some lingering remnants of his former opinions. I do not be- lieve I exaggerate facts to any great extent when I say that, in proportion to the population, young farmers form as large a part of the nations forces as inhabitants of the city. But as that was not the main ground of Mir Cum mings' opinion of the farmer, I would say from a true knowledge of the facts that the price of farm produce has been forced up by conditions over which the farmer has no control. The price of tools and ether manufactured goods which the farmer needs has in- creased nearly 100 per cent. and farm labor has decreased nearly as much These conditions are caused to a great extent by the labor unions which by | their success in obtaining higher wages and shorter hours have drawn many farm laborers to the city and have forced the manufacturers to raise i the prices of their goods to a figure which makes it impossible for the far ner to make any profit unless he raises his prices in proportion. I dc not believe that farmers will claim exemption to any greater degree than any other class of people and I know several in this section of the country who have laid absolutely no claim to exemption and others who have vol untarily enlisted. The farmers are an absolute necessity to the nation and as such their patriotism should be immune from the attacks of rabid denouncers over whose patriotism hang grave doubts.
 Respectfully yours,
 F. H. TfTOLEN. Preston City. Conn.,, Feb. 1T, 1918.

GREATER EFFORT FOR SAFETY.

In view of the encouraging reports which have been made in recent years regarding the gradual cutting down of the death rate in the mines of the country, it will be with regret that it is learned that the bureau of mines announces that there were 2695 men killed in coal mining operations dur ing the year 1917 representing an in- crease of 470 over the previous year,
 This cannot be taken to mean, how ever, that there has been any letting up in the efforts which the bureau has put forth or that the mining compan- ies have been anxious to secure. but in this direction as well as in others
 as is shown by the large increase in the fire loss. this industry has suf- fered from the demoralization con- nected with the war. The life saving efforts have lacked the efficiency which characterized them before many af the employees and engineers wara
