HOG CHOLERA CONTROL

For the benefit of the many farmers of this territory who have suffered losses from hog cholera and especially for those who have vacinated their hogs and suffered losses even after doin this, I am printing the following from the U. s. official Bulletin;
 Through work of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Unit ed States Department of Agri- culture 5,500,000 hogs were vaccinated against cholera lin the last year, and average loss es in cholera infected herds were reduced to less than l3

per cent by the use of antihOg- cholera serum. An increase of 16S counties working for hog cholera control is considered notable, there being 467 count ies in the country now engaged in this work, besides IT States in which activities of this char acter are conducted.
 Representatives of the Feder- al department visited 15,560 farms for the purpose of mak- ing investigations, diagnosing disease, and giving advice re- garding control and eradiction. Just 2,236 cholera-infested farms were cleaned up and dis infected under the direction of the Federal specialists.
 In order that only the best antihOg-chOlera serum may be used in actual field work, rigid inspection of all serum is nec- essary. During the last 12 months, of the 271,402, ,530 cubic centimeters of serum pro- duced in licensed establish meters were destroyed as unfit for use. Similar inspection of hog-cholera virus was also con- ducted for simultaneous use with the serum.
 The Government says that they can and do controll the cholera where the vaccination and medicine therefor is per feet. Bear this in mind.

Dear Mother
These men were disarmed
searched and sent to the rear.
About daylight we began tc
meet whole companies and bat
talions Of prisoners trotting a.
long under the guard of one, or
maybe two American M. Ps. By
noon every road was covered
with them, marching along at
the double quick, as if eager to
get out Of the range of their
own guns, which were by this
dropping shells in the
roads. Seemed as if Jerry was
to blow up his country
men, as punishment for being
captured.
All that day we hiked, not ev-
en- hard tack now; over shell
torn highways, thru pitted fields
with dead men and hors-
es, plunging into woods stripp-

Joy life again,
But it was too good to last.
Our relief came one night, and
the next morning our division
was withdrawn for a rest. But
we were rockies no longer; we
had fought side by side with the
veteran divisions, and made
good in the first All-American
drive Of the war, during which
$1,000 prisoners and hundreds
of guns were taken. We had
helped dust the Hun from the
place, where for four years, he
had thought himself secure.
This was the battle of st. Mihiel.
