Cattle Serum Perfected.

Paris.-The method by which Pro-
fessor Vailee and Professor Carre
hope to effect permanent iinmunlza-
tion OF cattle against the foot and
mouth disease was described To the
Academy of Sciences in Paris. The
method consists OF simultaneous or al
ternative injections of serum obtained
from affected cattle which have re-
covered and of virus from diseased an
iInals. Previously the serum projected
cattle only for a fortnight. It was de
clared, hut the addition of the virus
caused cattle TO. generate resisting
element against the disease.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The hay crop even when the labor
supply Is normal. causes more worry,
anxiety, and disappointment than any
other crop. Tie time for harvesting is
comparatively short. Other crops re
Quire attention a the same time. And
the weather is to be reckoned with.
A great deal of labor is wasted every
year during hay harvest, say special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture, not because OF actual
idleness on the part of the workers,
but because labor is expended unnec-
essnrily on operations that do not
utilize It TO the best advantage II an
old method can be superseded by
new one that will enable the same
number of men to accomplish more
work In the same length of time, or
fewer men to accomplish the same
work in the same length OF time, 1t
will mean more hay saved, more
profit TO the farmer and a better CON
dition for The country
Shift Burden from Man to Horse.
Although there is scarcity of man
labor, there are still plenty OF horses
on most farms, and herein largely lies
the solution Of the problem. on farms
where considerable hay is grown
methods must be adopted by which the
greater part of The heavy labor is done

general use of certain types of labor
saving machinery. some of them not
no common in the East which have
been thoroughly tested and proved
satisfactory in the western part of the
United States. The small hay grower,
however. need not make. n very heavy
investment In new haying apparatus.
for ky rearranglng the working of his
crew and using little more horse
labor Tor the hard work he can add
considerably to the efficiency of his
crew
Heee are some suggestions made by
the specialists for avoiding of labor
In haymaking.
DO not run two or more mowers
close together. II the front mower has
any trouble that causes II to stop, all
of the mowers usually wait while re

Denver, June S.-One man was
death and the lives OF 200 passengers
were inperiled when the engine and
first baggage car OF Chicago. Burlng
ton X Quincy passenger Irain No. 303
crashed through flood-weakened
bridge over the Platte river near
Union. Colo.
Elmer c. Snedeker, the fireman, was
the lone victim of the wreck He was
thrown from his seat In the cab into
the swollen torrent and swept down
stream, clInglng to log He caught
hold OF tree down stream and for
several hours rescuers heard his cries
AS they sought franticalIy for means
nf resculng him. When they reached
him he was dead.
The prompt and courageous action
of the engineer, George A. Fouts is be-
lieved TO have averted one of the worst
railway disasters in the history of the
state. The train was travelling at 81
slow rate of speed across the trestle
when he felt the structure begin To
sway and sag. Keeping to his seat he
and stopped the progress of the train.
The engine plunged into the stream
head foremost and was completely sub
merged. The first baggage ear re-
muined with tile front end stuck In
The river, only the safety chains con
Meeting II with the second baggage ear
keeping 1t from slipping under the
water.
Fouts leaped MS the engine struck
the water. Swimming with difficulty
in the swirlug water. he al last sue
cecded In reaching the bank Of the
stream where he was pulled to safety
by passengers.
The haggugrnnn in the first car was
rescued from Inside the car as II bal
anced precariously on the brink of the
river.
Fearing the weight of the locomo-
tive ana the baggage car. coupled with
the pun Of the lorrential waters, would
drag the other coaches into the river,
the members of the crew hammered
