The Shot-HoIe Borer.
Harry Weisenborn, living on the
Smyrna road, brought in a sawed off
section of cherry tree limb this week,
showing the destruction so quickly
wrought by shot-hole borers last sum-
mer. This 4-inch piece of limb is Is
inches long and is almost covered with
cherry gum which exuded from the
holes made by the pest.
OF the sudden work of the borer Mr.
Weisenborn said I'VE picked our
cherries in June, at which time the
trees seemed vigorous and all right.
But in August two of the trees broke
out as shown by this section of limb,
and the borer has been at work on
them ever since
This borer is particularly destruc-
tive of stone fruits, such as peaches,
plumbs, cherries, etc. If you have
similar trouble consult County Agent
Dolen. He has some interesting litera-
! ture anent the subject.
1t isn't often that a theft of corn
from a field or crib is reported in the
newspapers and it still more seldom
that a farmer who has been thus
robbed offers a reward for the arrest
and conviction of the guilty party or
parties. But we now have a case of
that kind H. w. Gilbert has offered
reward of 500 for the arrest and

Craver on Hog Cholera.
| We are in receipt of a letter from
Dr. ]. L. Craver. U. S. veterinarian, re-
siding in West Richmond in which he
says:
! considerable trouble at present is
being experienced by hog raisers with
breeding stock and small pigs. Many
brood sows which had been treated
several years ago, and some which had
actually passed through an outbreak
/ of cholera on the farm, are now break
ing down with the disease. This may
apply to only one or two sows in a
! herd but never the less it usually
I extends the disease to the majority of
the pigs, where they all run together,
If it is not detected at once.
| 1T is advisable at the present time
on account of the extensive outbreak
of hog cholera to keep close watch on
your brood stock, whether immuned or
not, and at the first sign of any being
| sick get a correct diagnosis and if
cholera is suspected treat them and
all small pigs, regardless of age or
size, in these cases even if they are
infected they respond quite readily to
treatment and the majority will be
saved if taken in time.
I'VE have always been taught that
immuned they are immune for life and
also that pigs nursing immuned moth.
ers carry temporary immunity. In
most cases they do but this theory
does not always prove true; this years
outbreak has shattered many theories
and practically done away with a
number of pet diseases invented to
side track hog cholera, which we still
pork industry.
Sale of Sick Hogs.
THE present outbreak in Rush
county is somewhat improved, but the
danger is not over yet. All fall pigs
should be vaccinated against cholera
