His voice was so low, so tender,
that Mrs. Curtis ground her teeth in

ebbing away.
Tonnibel walked swiftly to Doctor
Johns side and slipped her hand into
his.

Yes, oh. yes, sir, do, indeed, sir"
she cried. "But--but-"
"Then you'll stay" the doctor told
her in a voice low-pitched and stern.

Uriah

doctor, "and you. Sarah, I'll ask you

the room. 1t took but a few minutes
for the officials to explain to Doctor
PendIehaven that they had been trail

was wanted for a crime in Syracuse.

gases which are almost us dangerous

during the recent war. In this in
stance, one Of the farm workmen
entered a 50-foot silo which had been
half filled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not

to enter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously Is not
to wedge the silo doors into place un-

farmers follow the practice Of plac.

amount Of corn Is cut and deposited
in the .silo. This prevents free cir
culation Of air through the silo which,
in turn, operates to favor the accumu-

ERADICATION Of
BARBERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun as Control
Measure Against Loss Of
Grain by Black Stem Rust.
BUSHES THRIVE EVERYWHERE.

Stream Banks and Fence Rows

tPrspsssa b. The unitsd States Department.
The job Of eradicating the common
barbery has proved to be a much
more extensive one than was antici-
spated BY the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture at the outset Of
the campaign in April, 1918. This
campaign was begun as q control
measure against the enormous losses
sof grain from black-stem rust. In
years Of moderate rust epidemics. the
reduction in the yield Of wheat alone
has amounted to $4,000 900 bushels,
while in 1915. the year Of very So
we're epidemic, there was reduction
in yield Of 10000, 900 bushels In the
United States alone.
Bushes Grow Everywhere.
In the grain-growing districts Of the
upper Mississippi valley, where the
campaign has been carried on, 1t was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants In the
towns and cities. This was disproved
during the first year Of the campaign
by the finding Of 170,430 bushes on
1.1G6 rural properties. About $4,000
Of these were scattered widely over
1877 properties, showing that all coun-
try bushes are not confined to the
farmsteads, hut had been spread to
woodland, pastures, stream banks, and
fence rows by the distribution Of seeds
by birds.
With these facts in mind, the cam
paign was more vigorously pushed in
1919. AS soon as the survey Of most
cities and villages was completed, q
farm-to-farm survey Of certain definite
areas was begun. The results in 1918
were as follows: 3SS, 900 bushes were
found on 14,1OO city properties, while
100000 bushes were found on 4,6O0
farms. OF these last, 1850, 600 bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul,
tivation on 1900 properties.
f During the calendar year 1920 eff.
forts were concentrated upon the farm
to-farm survey. A resurvey Of cities
and villages in the counties surveyed
was carried on at the same time. II

,plements, clothing Of Iaborers. and
even in running water. Sanitation will
cut down the danger, but 1t is not an
absolute preventive. Unless the farm
er has taken the precaution to have
all Of his herd immunized with serum
and virus, an operation which should
be done by veterinarian or a spe-
cially trained layman, there is always
possibility Of the disease breaking ont
Unexpectedly.
The farmers protection lies in the
fact that usually only one or two mem-
bers Of the herd are affected at first,
and he should be on the watch. One
or two hogs will refuse to come up to
feed with the herd. They will remain
hidden in the nest, and when driven
from the bed their backs may be
arched and they may appear cold, and
shiver. The rest Of the herd may re-
main apparently well for several days.
when. others are likely to be found at
fected in about the same way as those
first attacked. As the disease pro-
crosses the sick hogs become gaunt or
tucked up in the TANKS, and have q
weak. staggering gait, the weakness be-
ing most marked In the hind legs.
II the lungs are affected there may
be cough, which is particularly mo-
ticeable when the hogs are disturbed.
The eyes usually are inflamed and
show a whitish discharge, which may,
cause the lids to stick together. Con-
stipation. which is commonly present
in the early days Of the disease, 10
generally followed by diarrhoea. As
the disease reaches Its height red or
purplish blotches are likely to appear
upon the skin Of the ears, Of the
belly, and the inner surfaces Of the
legs.
Some Of the symptoms mentioned
may be present in other diseases, but
the owner should remember that
cholera spreads rapidly through a
herd and no time should be lost in
calling veterinarian to diagnose the
disease and administer the proper
treatment. If the disease Is cholera
heavy losses can be averted only by
prompt administration Of hog-cholera
serum.
Autopsy should be performed upon
hogs which die Of any disease. Indica-
lions Of cholera are described in the
bulletin referred to. The most impor-
tant thing is to be prepared and to
act promptly.
Locate hog lots and pastures away
from streams and public highways.
and do not. allow hogs to run on free
range or highways. nor to have ac-
cess to canals or irrigated bitches.
Do not drive into hog lots after
driving on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
