SEASON FOR hoe
CHOLERA SPREAD.
South Dakota Expert in Animal
Diseases Gives Early Warn
ing for Prevention.

Bookings, s. D.-The stage Is all
set in South Dakota for the widest
outbreak of hog cholera since the year
1914, according to DR.. G. s. Weaver,
extension specialist in animal disease
at State college.
Outbreaks of this disease, according
to DR.. Weaver, are to be found
throughout the eastern part of the
state at the present time. The num-
Der Of outbreaks is larger than usual
at this time of the year, and the indi-
cations are that the disease will
spread widely this summer and fall. It
Is only possible that through some
peculiar and unforeseen circumstances
bad outbreak may be ayerted.
ut behooves every farmer to be on
the alert and keep close watch over
the condition Of the hogs in his neigh
borhood, as we'll as his own herd"
says DR.. Weaver, "and at the first sign
of trouble use every possible means to
prevent the spread Of the disease.
"All we'll hogs within a radius Of
two to three miles of the infected herd
should be vaccinated. The time to
vaccinate is while the hogs are well,
not after they are sick. Some few
hogs may be saved in sick herd, but
the vaccination of sick hog is al
most like vacinating sick man after
he already has contracted the small
pOx.

GOING PROSPECTING AT SO

Recently the news came that the
Oldest active mining prospector in the
world, Sam Conger, 80 years old, was
going back to the Rockies, determined
to make his last big strike.
Sam Conger," the story said, sis
the Grand Old Man of the Mountains
he has prospected in the Rockies
for more than seventy years. In adj
dition to locating many Of the best
paying gold and silver mines in the
state, he discovered Tungsten, the
rare metal Of Colorado. He is known
: evo'w old mining man. and despite
his eighty-nine years, Sam Congo
game TO the backbone, is going to the
mountains laden with pack, pick, pan
and shovel, rcsolute in the faith4 that
ne will make one more big strike.
It is not strange that Sam Conger
has gone back to Boulder county to
make his last ibg strike. It was in
Boulder county that he made his last
big strike with his discovery Of the \
Buckeye Lead in 1862, while the Bat
tie Of Ahtietam was being fought. In
the 20 years since he has been ham
mering away, delving into mountain
sides with his pick, or kneelinp ex-
pectantly above swift mountain
streams to wash the gold in his nan. q
in California, in Oregon, in New Mex
leo, in Arizona and he has studied
leads and veins and strata in every
mining section in Colorado. But Il
was always to Boulder county that he
returned to make the big strike. One
time it was the Caribou mine, later
sold to capitalists of Holland And
once after long prospecting in other
sections he came back to Boulder and
discovered the Poer Man mine where
the ore ran $4,000 to the ton There
were the Fourth Of July and the Di-
antha and many others. u Z:

CORN BORERS SPREAD FAST.
Experts Say Radical Steps Necessary to
Check Pest.

BOSTON. Oct. -11.-Corn-b -borerS have
been ravaging truck gardens of Greater
Boston TO an alarming extent and are
spreading rapidly according TO an am
nouncement made yesterday by the state
department of agriculture. They appear
to have acquired spreading pace of
about 20 miles year, despite the fact
that it has been believed they spread
only mt the rate of about six miles a
year.
1t is estimated that 81 per cent of the
beetS grown in Arlington are infested
with this pest while three years ago
there we're no b0rerS to be found in that
town. Thirty-two per cent of the celery
grown in that section Is infested. while
beans. rhubarb, spinach and other gar
den vegetables as well as many flowers,
have been attacked this season.
There are two brOods a year it is stated
by the department of agriculture. the
second. coming in August, being the
worst. The average female moth lays
900 eggs mt a time. which is the cause of
the am ting reproduction within single
year.
Extreme. radical and thorough meas
ures are now imperative. the state de
partment of agriculture declares, in or
der to stop nationwide destruction by
the corn-borer.

PLAZA SIGNPOST
MISLEADS TOURISTS
Indicates One Road for Hinsdale and
GuilfOrd, and Another Road for
keene and Bernardston

Attention has been called to The mis-
leading Information that Is given tour
lists by the signpost situated on the
plaza near the honor roll at the junction
of Vernon, Canal and Main streets. This
sign, which has been in that location a
long time, is understood by the villagers,
but to an outsider 1T is confusing.
The sign, which is elliptieal in shape,
is supposed to show the way to Hinsdale
and Keene on the one hand, and Giul-
ford, Bernardston and Greenfield on the
other. From an artistic point of view,
the sign is a success, but otherwise it is
not The upper fist is supposed to in
dicate the route to Hinsdale and Keene,
and the lower fist to the other towns
mentioned, but the town names are so
arranged that the upper fist, which
points to the last, is taken by tourists to
Indicate the road to Hinsdale and Gull
ford while the fist that points to the
west. is taken to indicate Keene and
Bernardston. Greenfield is placed at
the bottom as though the artist who
made the sign was in a dilemma as to
just where it should be placed on the
sign.
The Reformer has been informed that
many tourists have been led astray by
this sign, and it is pointed out that such
a direction post does not add materially
to the assets of the town, from the stand
point of the tourist. at least. 1t has
been suggested that if line of demarca-
ton be drawn vertically down through
the center with the two New Hamp-
shire towns painted on the east side and
the three other towns on the west side
with fists pointing in the proper direc-
tions. much misinformation would be
avoided.

FIRST MEETING
OF BROTHERHOOD
Centre Church Men Have Supper and
Listen TO Extremely. Interesting
Talk by Charles Bras0r.

An extremely interesting talk on con
ditions in China and the characteristics
of the Chinese followed the first supper
of the season by the brotherhood of the
Centre Congregational church last eve
ming. The address was made by Charles
Brasor, formerly of Br&kfleboro, who
recently spent a year in China, Korea
and Japan as a representative of the
American Express company, much of the
time having been spent IN China. About
80 members and guests of the Brother
hood attended the excellent supper served
by a committee of ladies of the church.
Mrs. NJ. J. Larrabee in charge, and all
remained to hear the instructive talk on
conditions in the Far East.
Following the supper, short business
meeting was held over which Lawrence
G.. Sherman. president, presided. An cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year was
held. and the following members were
elected unanimously President, Nor
man A. Howe vice president, George j
Knoll. jr. secretary and treasurer, Ar
thur l.. Clapp.
duced by Rev. DIR. III. r. Woodin. Mr..
Bras0r briefly sketched the history of
the Chinese race from the period of Con-
fucius down TO the modern era. He eX-
plained the importance of the treaty
ports in China to the European nations
and showed the comparatively negligible
power that China has over the territory
that has been usurped by the foreign ma
tions. Although there are a few wealthy
people in the Far East, as whole the
people are destitute, being without
money and wondering where their next
meal is coming from. Perhaps the most
interesting part of MIR Brasor's talk was
his description of the various character
iStics of the Chinese rs shown by their
little interest in politics, their religion
and various family beliefs and their Will
ingness to accept whatever fate has IN
store for them Numerous personal ex-
periences that the speaker had had in
various sections of China added greatly
10 the interest in the talk. The speaker
showed many colored drawings made by
him in China representing various types
of Chinese men and women and showing
the natives at their various occupations.

audience.

Pete is about a year old and Mr.
Gangler bought him of the Ringing
Shows when he was baby. Between 6
and { O'Clock last evening Mr.. Gangler
let him out of the monkey quarters in the
barn to eat his supper and after he had
eaten to his satisfaction be espied an
open window near the top of the barn.
He edged near a stairway and darted up
stairs to the hay loft. The hay was
about six feet below the window, but
the monk easily leaped to the window
and then made a long drop. at least two

few feet away from the barn.
That was the last that has been seen
of Mr.. Monk. but his owner believes he
has not strayed far away. He is per-
fectly harmless, and any child can ham
die him without danger. Mr.. Gangler
says. He shows his teeth by curling his
upper lip. but his owner says this is
characteristic of Java monks and is not
done as warning He has long
straight tail and on his neck is a collar
with ring attached. He is very fond of
fruit ~kWW
Mr. Gangler, whose telephone call is

little animal as soon as possible. be-
cause if he takes cold he is very likely to

without permission once before. but Mr..
Gangler had no difficulty that time in
finding him.
