of Rogue River. Ore. is on trial here
on a charge OF completely in the mur.
der of David Moorehouse, night
watchman at Paso Robles. His par
ents are here from Jackson county
Oregon, for the trial, and they have
implicit faith in their ability to show
their son was merely the victim OF
bad eompanionship.
Moore was arrested with Seth
Burt, alias Edward Langdon. 22. af-
ter Moorehouse had been shot by the
two men he found burglarizing a
Paso Robles store. Burt insisted
from the time Of his arrest that he
shot Moorehouse, and that Moore

that Moore was good boy, working

an injury in a runaway. After that,
he ran away to Medford and got into
trouble through his companion, a
youth regarded by authorities as a
brainy criminal.

AIM FOR BETTER SEED CORN
County Agents Have Directed consid-

Realizing the Importance of good
seed corn as an essential in increasing
production, and knowing that false
lected seed corn is best, county agents
have directed considerable effort in
seed-corn selection and testing cam
paigns. Three hundred and fifty-four
agents assisted 63,813 farmers last
year in the 33 Northern and Western
states in fall-selecting seed corn, and
more than million additional acres
were planted with fall-selected corn re-
sulting from work of the agents dur
ing the previous fall. Assistance was
given to 36,53S farmers in the testing
of seed corn, resulting in 946,563 addi-
tional acres being planted with tested
seed. The agents conducted extension
campaigns to encourage seed corn Sc
lection in the fall and seed-corn test
ing in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michi-
gan and Pennsylvania.

TREATMENT OF HOG DISEASES
AiIing Animals Should Be Immediately
Isolated In Clean Quarters
Disinfect Pens.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
AS soon as sickness appears in the
herd the unaffected hogs should at
once be removed to clean. disinfected
quarters, preferably without much
range, for by running over pastures
they may come in contact with con-
tagion. Their feed should be carefully
regulated and, if they have previously
been on pasture, should include some
green feed, roots, or an abundance of
skim milk.
The quarters in which the sickness
first appeared should be thoroughly
cleaned, all bedding and rubbish
burned, and loose boards and old par
titions torn out and burned. If the
pen is old, knock it to pieces and burn
1t. Disinfect pens and sleeping places,
using airslaked lime on the floors and
the carbolic-acid solution on the walls
and ceilings. Whitewash everything.
If hog dies from any cause the car
cass should never BIZ exposed where it
may be devoured by the other hogs or
by passing birds or beasts, but should
be burned at once or buried deeply and
the pens thoroughly disinfected imme-
diately. If possible, do not move the
carcass from the place where it falls;
but if necessary to do so the ground
over which it is dragged should be dis
infected. 1t is not known positively
how long the virus of hog cholera may
survive in the soil, but under favor
able conditions 1t is not unlikely that
it may live in the ground for several
months. Care should be taken to main
tain strict quarantine between the
sick and healthy hogs. The same at
tendant should not care for both lots
unless he disinfects himself thoroughly
after each visit to the infected hogs.
Dogs should be confined until the dis
ease is stamped out,
The treatment of hogs suffering from
cholera is not satisfactory after the
disease has become well established in
a herd. The prevention of an out
break by the use of antihog- cholera
vaccination should be relied upon rath-
er than the cure of sick animals.

is with the purpose of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada, especially Western Canada, pos
sesses, that attention is drawn to the
fact. The purpose is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in
