HOG CHOLERA
IN SOUTH MICH.
Worst Outbreak In Three Years
Reported

The worst outbreak of hog cholera in
the state during the past three years is
reported by the state live stock COM
mission as existing in six counties with
the probability that the disease will
spread 10 other counties in a short time.
The counties now affected are Shi-
awassee, Clinton, Lenawee, Barry,
Eaton and Saginaw.
Farmers generally are not taking
proper precautions TO guard against
this disease which until few years ago
was so costly in the state, according TO
III. II. Halliday OF the commission. Mr..
Halliday also declares that the present
epidemic is partially due TO the fact
that sufficient funds are not furnished
this department to carry on inspections
and investigations in the way that
they should be.
Anti-toxin for the purpose OF prevent
ing the spread of this cholera has prov
en- of great value to the farmers. Loss
es were reduced from 81, 600, 600 a year
to less than $4,000.
Every effort is being made to check
the disease at its present limits and
farmers are asked to Join in this move
by taking all precautions recommended
by the commission for checking the
spread of holera among hogs.

AWFUL CONDITIONS IN INDIA

New York Economic conditions In

years, according 10 a survey 10y the
American Baptist Foreign Missionary
society, made public here. The report,
prepared by Rev. w. l.. Ferguson, de-

Conditions in south India have

stations, besieged day and night by
throngs of hungry people crying for
food. were able to offer but slight aid,
the appeal was so great. Men and
women, through sheer weakness, stag
gered about like drunken people. Suf-
fering was intensified by lack of drink
ing water, while an epidemic Of chol-
era took great tolls of human life.
"Our missionaries provided relief to
the best Of their ability, and for
months over hundred children with

THE FALL CLEANUP.

The growing season is about over in
temperate regions. A few hardly flow
ers put forth their blooms, and the root
vegetables which frost cannot harm
still repose in the ground, but other
wise the garden is a thing of faded
stalks and tangles. This means the
time has come for the fall cleanup.
Into the fire should 90 all the old
flower and plants stalks, weeds and
rubbish which, if left around would not
only look unsightly but also afford
winter sleeping Accommodations for a
host OF bugs, slugs and plant pests
which would crawl forth in the spring
to begin their annual sport of beating
the gardner at his own game.
There is more leisure for this clearing
now than in the spring, when prepar-
alton OF the soil and planting absorb
the growers attention. Then, too, the
pests referred to do not wait the
gardeners pleasure when spring comes.
The early sunshine is their alarm
clock, and they are off and away before
the tiller of the soil has shed his winter
flannels or got out his spade. The
wise gardener will rout the foe from
his bivouac now, making his own COM
ing year easier, and saving his premises
from that most unpleasant and uu-
thrifty appearance which is presented
by an uncleared garden when the snow
begins to thaw.

He Dropped Her Hand
When the Bear Crowded

New York.-A young man and
a young woman were walking
along Ferris avenue in White
Plains holding hands and talk
ing Of the future, when they
heard something grunt and say,
"Woof! Woof ~ behind them.
"a pig" said the young wom-
an. "How funny pig should
be out at night !!
But IL didn't sound to the
young man like pig. He turned
and looked and saw big black
bear ambling along not more
than ten feet behind them. Both
he and the young woman went
home without further comment.
Since that time at least five
persons have complained to the
White Plains police that the
bear has interrupted their wan.
derings along Ferris avenue.
The animal appears to operate
along Cemetery road also. The
first two or three nights the
bear was alone, but three peo-
pie told the police that the anil
NAL had couple of little ones
along. Plenty Of tracks have
been found.
