HOG CHOLERA CAUSED
BY VERY SMALL GERM
Dangerous Factor in Spreading
Disease Is Sick Animal.
AiIment Cannot Always Be Diagnosed
With Absolute Certainty, as Symp-
toms Are Not uniform-Pre-
vention Is Best.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The real cause of hog cholera is
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. 1t may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health of the
animal, such as improper feeding. in
sanitary conditions of hog lots, damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding troughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the introduction of the germ into
the herd and the organism Is always
present In the bodies of sick hogs and
is thrown off In the feces and urine,
the most dangerous factor in spread
ing the disease is the sick animal.
1t may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from neighbOring herd,
by the purchase of new stock not
showing symptoms. by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase of hogs which APP
parently have recovered.
The symptoms are not constant and
uniform, therefore the disease cannot
always be diagnosed with absolute GER
tainty. Animals suffering from intes-
final troubles, indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re-
semble those Of cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-
gether; have temperatures CLOS to 107
degrees f. or higher); are consti-
pated; the feces often streaked with
blood; characteristic odor is pres
emit; and after the third or fourth day
diarrhea develops. AS death approaches

Action AGAINST Rats.

1t frequently happens that losses of
young chickens attributed to the depre-
dations of hawks and to other causes
are due TO rats. There is no more
destructive pest about the poultry yard
than these. Coming like the thief In
the night, and usually leaving no WIS.,
ible marks of their ravages, they es-
cape, in large measure, the relentless
hunting down that they deserve. Not
only are they destructive to young
chickens, but they prey upon the egg
supply throughout the year.
The United States department of ag-
ricuture points out that anyone, by
care and industry, may free his own
premises of these rodents but that he

renee of the trouble unless he can Sc

therefore, that wherever possible the
destruction of these pests be COM

The same, effort, It is pointed out,
that is made by individuals working
Independently If organized on COM
munity basis will be less costly and
more effective. The department has
worked out and tested definite plans
for the destruction of rats, in COM
mon with other rodents, and informa-
ton concerning the matter can be had
by writing the department.

Separate sick animals from the herd

hogs against cholera. 1t is a proven

Proper feeding, plenty of exercise,
clean pens and an abundance of sun
shine will do great deal toward pro-
tecting hogs from cholera.

Eggs Before Candle.

The u. 3. department of agriculture
Issues the following statement as to
how good eggs should look before the
candle:
A good fresh egg should have a
small air space. The yolk should not
be very plain. There should be no
black spots or rings. Sometimes the
eggshell will have fine cracks In 1t.
This is commonly known as o "check"
egg, and should not be shipped with
first-qunlity eggs, as 1t rots very
quickly.
Blood rings are. partially incubated
eggs and show a distinct ring Of blood
on the yolk. They are classed as UNI
At for food and should be rejected.
Cause: A fertile egg In which the
development Of the germ has proceed
ed until blood has formed but the en-
bryo has subsequently died. Ring for
nation is not present while the en-
bryo is alive, although blood spots or
veins may show.
Mcldy eggs generally have cracked
shells and show black spots before
the candle. They are unfit for food.
Cause: Field nests or wet nests
Holding eggs In damp places, or de-
stroying shell mucus BY washing, or
allowing eggs to become wet, thereby
enabling mold spores to enter tho
| pores of the shell and grow in1ide the
shell. Mold can also enter through
cracks In the she'll !

HENS THAT HELP ENEMY.


Every hen that does not lay
except for a little while In the
spring consumes more than she
produces.
Such hen not only does
nothing toward winning the
war, but actually aids the en-
envy.
In times of peace and plenty
the Stacker hen might be toler-
ated. but she must be handled
ruthlessly now.
Go over your flock carefully
and continuously. Eliminate
until you have got rid of all ex-
cept the good egg producers.

EXHIBITS IN ONE COUNTY.

An interesting county fair,
made up of u community exhi-
bits, was recently held In
county in the Middle West.
There were no races or side
shows. The 10000 people in at
tendance spent their time for
two days in visiting and in
specting the exhibits and In
wholesome recreation under the
supervision of an expert recrea-
tional director from a neighbor-

feet of floor space, and $1,000

housed in vacant buildings on

OF Lgriculture.) :
The extra labor required to
keep weeds under control Is prob :
ably the greatest economic loss
which they cause. Labor is too
much needed for other lines of
farm work and should not be
used in fighting weeds IL they
can be eradicated In any other
way. Yet weeds must be con-
trolled If maximum crop yields
are to be secured. In this re-
spect sheep can aid In the farm
labor problem. They will eat
most weeds, and on any farm
will greatly reduce the amount
of hand labor needed to hold
weeds in check In pastures and
grain fields. Keep sheep and ar
range your farm so they can
help In the fight with weeds.

and reducing the number Of lemons
to 8, It was found that the same bulk
pf poison mixture was obtained for
approximately 81 at current prices.
The molasses used was cattle mo-
lasses, obtained at a beet-sugar fac
tory for about 5 cents a gallon. Al
falfa meal has such swelling power
when plenty Of water Is added that
the Is pounds makes approximately
the same amount Of poison mixture
as % pounds Of bran.
Must Be Used at Once.
1t has been found that In warm cli-
mates the poison bats prepared with
alfalfa meal must be used almost inn
nediately, as they sour If kept until
the following day. Another objection
able feature is that the meal is usu-
ally so finely ground that 1t cannot be
distributed without considerable waste
by the use Of an end-gate grain seeder,
such as employed in some portions Of
the country In distributing the bait.
The greatly lessened expense Of
fighting grasshoppers by the use Of al
falfa meal mixture induced Nebraska
farmers to combat the pest much
more theoretically than they would
have done If the more expensive bran
mash formula had been used.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well. what a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy 1t is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations. gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 { The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get g quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside-bathing before break fast

Artist With Barnes Circus Registers For Service Here, and Writes

There are plenty of people with a perfectly good writing wing who can hardly recognize their own name af- ter the attempt to put it on paper, but Alfred A. Pilgrim, with Barnes circus, does not belong to that lot for two reasons-first, he has no writ ing wing; second, he can write his name better than any of you. Alfred is legless, he is arnaless-just how he got that way we do not know, but we do know that he is happy, carefree fellow and some scribe.
 Pilgrim made his way in rolling chair to the county court house this morning and registered for military duty. Members of the local board were wondering how young Pill grim was ever going to sign his name to his questionnaire. He showed them. Holding the pen within the grasp of the short stub near his shoulder, he placed his name on paper instantly and in grand style the best scribe in the house.
 Pilgrim lives in Los Angeles, and is an expert penman. He says he expects to be drafted into the army for that reason.

LLOYD BR0s|Ous
 DIES IN ACTION

It is with general regret that our people learn of the death in France < of Lloyd Brosieus, which occurred the latter part of July. For a short while only he was with the shoe de- partment of s. Heinemann, but en- listed with the Marines from his Fhome at Carthage, Mo-, and was sent to France last December. He had written a friend, Miss Corinne Mos by of our city, just few days before his death, that he had spent his birthday, Easter Sunday and Christ mas day in the trenches, but hoped by those next memorable days to be at home in the good old United States. It casts a gloom of sadness over all when the news reaches us that our brave American boys have gone over for. the last time, sacrific- ing their lives for our freedom.
 The following letter to Crossland Brosius, a brother of Lloyd Brosius, who was killed in France, is in re- ceipt of letter notifying him of the death of his brother. The letter lis from comrade of Lloyd's, and the letter was forwarded to Miss Co rinne Mosby of this city, the friend mentioned.

 Dear MT. Brosius:
 No doubt you have already been notified of Lloyd's death. Being a very close friend of his and having heard him speak of you on many different occasions, you would like to hear more than just the plain not ifications from Headquarters. Lloyd was hit while making an ad- vance at the head of his section He died before he reached base hospital. He was buried in woods, the grave being well marked. have the exact location according to our Graves Registration Bureau.
 It may seem hard to give Lloyd up, MT. Brosius, but there is one conso- lation that he met his death as every true American would have ltr-on the Battlefield going Over the Top. There were four of us who were al ways together and am the only one left. It makes one feel real badly to think that all these men must go out in such tragic manner.
 Please tell the young lady whom Lloyd was so fond of that she can Ia proud of her hero. There never was a finer young man or a better soldier. He had the making of a good officer and was a credit to the corps. If I can be of any further assistance do not hesitate in writing me. I remain
