HOG CHOLERA BAD,
URGE FARMERS TO
YACCINATE HERDS
State and Counties Combine
Efforts to Check Spread
of Disease.

Reports from various sections
throughout the state indicate that
hog cholera in virulent form is
rapidly spreading. Presence of the
disease has been reported in nearby
counties. and in several instances
entire herds have been wiped out.
Farmers IN Kosciusko county where
the menace has appeared have post
ed their places with mo trespa ssing"
signs. They are also placing buck
cts of dlsinfectants at front gates
and requiring every person entering
the premises to disinfect the scles
of their shoes, the feet Of horses
and wheels of conveyances. It has
also been agreed TO tieup dogs which
are capable of transmitting the dis
ease by running at large.
Veterinarians strongly urge the
immunizatlon or herds by vaccina-
ton in advance of the disease.
Burning Of all debris from lots,
sheds and barns is advised and lime
should be used literally over the
floors, with a strong solution OF dis
infectant syraped over the interior
surface of buildings. All carcasses
of dead animals should be burned
Immediately and not permitted to
lie around for dogs and buzzards TO
feed from.
Another precaution advised is
minimizing OF visiting and exchang-
ing OF work on farms where the in
lection is found. Diseased animals
should not be sold, shipped, hauled
or trucked over public highways or
removed from premises. This point
is particularly stressed since it is a
violation Of state laws 10 sell dis
eased animals. purchase of feeder
hogs from the stock yards at this
time is also a dangerous practice.
According 10 reports the disease
is active in certain sections of Elk
hart county. With a view Of stamp
ing it out, veterinarians are ad-
dressing meetings of farmers sug-
costing effective means Of combat
ting the menace.

BETTER POTATOES
FOR MARSHALL CO.
Certified Seed Increases Yield
% Bushels Per Acre Over
Last Year.

Residents Of Marshall county are
rapidly realizing the value of i'm
proved seed potatoes since there are
more than 100 plots in the county
where improved certified seed Is
growing beside native homegrown
stock
These demonstration plots are the
result of the efforts OF County Farm
Agent V. V. Clarke, who obtained
1000 bushels of certified northern
grown seed last spring for distribu-
ton among growers of Marshall
county.
Asked 10 estimate the compare
tive value Of the experiment, Clarke
hesitated, but expressed the opinion
that the increase in Yield would Gg-
ure around % bushels per acre.
which would give an increase OF
more than $500 bushels per acre.
as a direct result OF the use of this
variety OF seed stock. With the
price Of potatoes soaring around SO
per bushel, it is manifestly obvious
that the cost Of maintenance Of the
office OF county agent pays big divi-
dends even with a secondary crop
like potato.
Clarke declared he did not expect
TO import any more seed for two
years, since hill selection from the
crop already growing certified seed
would be cheaper than TO pay the
high price which will be demanded
next spring.

October Farm Facts

Farm blowing is especially valu-
able for heavy and weedy soils. The
action OF the winter freezing Will be
found beneficial on the soil and the
blowing seriously checks the weed
growth.
II is well worth 20 go over all
farm implements now and rub them
we'll with kerosene oil and smear all
polished parts with vaseline. The
value or adopting the suggestion viii
be appreciated next spring.
There is only one thing that brings
a rat 10 your place, and that is the
desire for food. II one will make
certain that the corn cribs grain bins
and feed boxes are ratproof. they
will not stay long, and the premises
will be kept free from rodents
There are still a number OF farm
ers in St Joseph and adjoining cOun-
ties who do not test and weigh each
cows milk. But on those farms there
Is one month when each COW should
be thoroughly tested and her value
as a MIXED determined, at least ap-
proximately. That is In October,
when the COWS come in off the pas
ture and a long period OF heavy
feeding is ahead.
II young calves were neglected
and their horns allowed 10 grow, 1t
is a good plan 10 have them de-
horned now that warm weather is
past. The stock will soon be spend
ing much Of their time in the sheds
and stalls and damage TO each other
can be done with horns, besides the
menace TO human life.
Rapid growth can be put on hogs
this month. The tang Of frost whets
their appetites. Ii is wise 10 re-
member that feeding corn alone is
poor business. But the grain sup
plemented with tankage and some
green stuff, such as pumpkins or
root crops, makes almost an ideal
ration and one that will not only
put on fat quickly. but make bigger
framed hogs.
II is not generally known that
fresh, ripe tomatoes can be provided
long after frost. This apparent i'm
b ...I,.Dty Is accomplished by pull
ing up the tomato vines that have
well developed green fruit and
hanging them up in a room where
it is dry and fairly warm. The fruit
will ripen slowly and TO perfection.
