HOGS Ill"
FROM VACCINE
CHOLERA PREVENTIVE REACTS
ON THE ANIMALS.

Brookings, Oct. 22.-Several herds
of hogs in the state which were re-
Gently vaccinated, have taken sick as
a result of vaccination. The owners's
faith in vaccination has in each in
stance received a serious setback.
1T is hard TO explain to an owner
of such herd that the loss of his
herd was not the result of careless
ness on the part of someone" says
DR.. G. s. Weaver. animal disease
expert in the state colleg extension
division. "Anti-hog cholera serum is
tested by government inspectors and
every effort is put forth by the manu-
facturers to produce patent prod
uct, but with the best of care, for
some unexplained reason, these So
called breaks may occur. Although
anti-hog cholera serum is nearly al
ways dependable, it is well to re-
member that no method of vaccina-
tion against hog cholera is perfect.
Hogs should be vaccinated If they
are in any way exposed to hog chol-
era. The feed lots may be infected
| or the neighbor's hogs may be sick
| In many cases the hog cholera is car
ried on the farm by the feet of some
animal or man. Hogs may carry the
| disease. The owner of the hogs will
have to use his best Judgment as to
| the exposure of his herd"

REPUBLICANS ACTIVE
IN PIERRE DISTRICT
CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON AND
OTHER CAMPAIGNERS LOOK
ING AFTER INTERESTS
THEIR PARTY

Pierre, Oct. 22.-The political at
mosphere is being stirred these clos
ing days of the campaign. U. S. G..
Cherry, the democratic candidate for
the United States senate, has been
making his tour of the western coun-
ties OF the state, with league of ma
tions as his leading platform issue.
but while endorsing that theory he
is certain that the solemn covenant
should be changed in several partic-
ulars, and states that if he is elected
he will be pledged to the changes he
feels are needed in the document.
One of the criticism of his talk is
that he insists that the league must
be endorsed to keep the country out
of war, and that the same argument
was put up four years ago, but the
forecast of the present may not have
any further effect than did that of
four years ago.
The republicans are doing their
share, Congressman Royal Johnson.
making a series of talks in the CEN
trail part of the state. Congressman
Johnson devotes a large part of his
talk to the matter of waste and ex-
travagance as practiced' in France as
he saw it while serving with the for
ces in France, and backing his state
ments by the evidence gathered in
the investigations on charges of such
handling of funds.
C. N. Leedom of Kadoka, and AL
vim Waggoner of Philip, are holding
series of meetings in the central
part of the state in which they dis
cuss state issues principally and ma
tional issues incidentally. They held
a meeting at Fort Pierre Saturday
night, Blunt Monday night and Agar
Tuesday night and report good meet
ings at all these places.

helped each other husk, may be re-
sorted to by the farmers in Mime
haha county in their efforts to get
their corn in. Refusal of many of the
itinerant workers to accept the prof
fered wage of six and seven cents a

left the latter in predicament that
must be solved.
According to County Agent j.. III
Hamilton, he could use nearly 20C
corn pickers in this district. Many

less, according to the information Il
Mr. Hamilton.
The stand of corn is SO good il
Minnehaha county that corn picking
is an opportunity for good money
each day at six and seven cents, the
latter figure being paid where there
is no elevator. With the presen
price of corn, it is not possible fol
the farmer to pay over six and sever
