Canvassing Board in
Session Today

The official canvass of the votes at
the primary election in Fremont
county on Tuesday is being made to-
day. and the result should be known
late tonight. The board. which con-
sists of Justice of the Peace T. j.
Prescott OF South Canon, .Justice Of
the Peace L. L. Freeman OF Howard
county and Clerk Jonathan Seaman.
met in the commissioners room at
the court house at O'Clock this morn
ing and began count of the ballots.
AS it is estimated that less than POO
votes were cast in the county, the
board could complete It's work laie
this evening.
Although there were nine precincts
in the county that sent in no outside
returns of the voting on Tuesday. the
result of the balloting for nominations
on the county ticket are pretty well
known, and the figures from the miss
ing precincts is not likely to upset
the conclusions thus far formed. All
nine of the delinquent precincts have
a small vote, and probably will not
alter the alignment on either of the
tickets.
The principal contest is between
Schuyler and Nicholson for the Re
publican senatorial nomination. The
vote for these men in Fremont county
and the state-atIarge is very close,
and it appears to be -"toss-up" who
will secure the prize. Twenty-three
out of the So precincts in Fremont
county give Schuyler 339 and Nichol
son 229. 1t IS an even bet which
of them will win in this county.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA

When cholera begins in the herd
the hogs do not all become sick at
once. but only one or two will refuse
to come up to feed with the herd
They viii remain in their bed and
when driven out their backs may be
arched and they may appear cold and
shiver. The balance of the herd may
remain apparently healthy for sever
al days. when others are likely to be
found affected in about the same way
as those first attacked. As the disease
progresses the sick hogs become gaunt
or tucked, up in the flank and have q
weak staggery gait, the weakness be-
ing most marked In the hind legs.
A short hacking cough developes
which is particularly noticeable when
the hogs are disturbed Eyes are in
famed and show whitish discharge
Constipation which il commonly pres
ent in the early day of sickness. is
generally followed by diarrhea- As
the disease reaches its heigh.. red or
,urplish blotches are likely to appear
on the skin of the ears. of the belly,
and OF the inner surfaces OF the legs
Sanitation is one Of the best means
to keep the disease from starting In
the herd. With the object 10 assist
ing the farmer to protect himself the
following suggestions are offered:
Hog houses, lots and pastures should
be located away from streams, high
ways and the houses and lots should
be arranged so that they may be
cleaned and disinfected readily. Wal
low holes and cess pools are germ
and breeders and these should
be drained and disinfected often, or
else filed in or fenced on.
The disease may be controlled and
very easily by vaccination
1t is not safe TO wait until the hogs
are sick to vaccinate, as the treat
ment will not cure the disease. The
will prevent the disease
though, and render the pig perma-
nently immune. II is urged that the
people around Canon City follow DR.
Stout's recommendations, and that
vaccination for immunity be carried
out.
Bury or Burn the Dead Animals
Too much, care cannot be exer-
cised in properly disposing OF the ami
mails that die on the farm. II an
animal dies there is surely a cause.
and IL that cause is contagious. and
the animal is dragged out on the hill |
side. river bank. vacant lot or dump
ing grouds, severe epidemic may be
started. All animals that die on the !
farm, as well as the entrails removed I.
from animals at butchering time |
should be properly disposed OF by
burning or burying with quick lime.
away from streams and low places
Unless disposed Of in this way they
serve to attract buzzards. crows. mag !
pies. dogs and flies. which carry and |
pread the disease germs.

After seeing this body of fifteen OF

but be impressed with the fact that
each one Of them is trying to do in
a national way what he thinks the in
dividual farmer wants done. The
problems which these men are con-

bought the cows were willing to pay
the higher prices because they knew
what they were getting. There was
no risk in the purchase because the
facts were known. 80
The average farmer in North Da-
kota, who nilks cows, THINKS he
knows what his cows are doing
thinks he knows which are producers
and which are only boarders. BUT
HE DOES NOT! This is proven by
many men who thought they knew but
who started testing and weighing.
They found their errors in judgment
many times.
The cow-testing association is big
asset in any dairy community. It
has several big values for the dairy
man: Increases the values of the
cows; makes it possible for every
man to know the relation of feed to
milk production; shows up the board
er COW; gives every man the oppor-
tunity to understand balanced rations
which are generally no more costly
than unbalanced feed; makes it pos
sible to buy and sell comparatively at
increased profit; makes it possible to
use better sires at less cost than the
present use of scrubs.
How many farmers are there in
North Dakota who KNOW that each
of their cows produces DO pounds Of
butter-fat per month? And if each
one does not produce that much it is
near the boarder class.
The most important part of cow
testing association is the manager and
tester. 1t is entirely in his hands to
make OF break the organization very
soon. He must be a good, all-round
man, who can go into the kitchen as
well as the barn. Important ako
is thorough knowledge of feeds and
feeding, for he is not only a tester but
an adviser on feeds as well.
