 Discontinuance was the result. of an item in the Agricultural appro- priation act for the year beginning July 1, 1922, which reads as follows {: Provided further, That no part of this sum shall be used for the nanu- facture, preparation, or distribution of blackleg vaccine" Frequent re- quests for vaccine cont;nu.. to reach the Bureau of Animal Industry, however, ant applicants necessarily 're advised to obtain the vaccine from other sources. Sin'e the black leg vaccine is no longer distributed by the Bureau of An;ma.

OUR FARMERS CORNER
Roxbury Poultry Club

The Roxbury Boosters Poultry Club held their regular meeting Wednesday evening, Nov. 8, at the home of John Robinson, and in sum- ming up the records for the year we found that the birds owned by the members of the Club had produced over 10000 eggs during the past year. What is perhaps of more inn portance is that these eggs were sold for enough above the cost of feed to leave the members of the Club return of over $900. The checking up of the records shows that there is an average of 255 birds for the year and the exact number of eggs produced was 4O,O15. This is an average of 156 eggs per bird. The average of all the birds entered in the International Egg-Laying Con- test for the last ten years has been 160 eggs.
 Owing to the press of other busi- ness the election of officers was postponed until the December meet ing. Two new members have been added to the Club and next year the eight members of the Club will re- port upon nearly 600 birds. Based upon their returns this year, and the number of birds that they will keep next year, they have set their goal for $1,5O0. returns above feed cost. Many people in Roxbury and other towns will watch with interest their progress in attempting to reach this goal.
 The Roxbury Boosters Club was organized a little over two years ago by the Litchfeld County Farm Blu reau to demonstrate the possibilities of. profitable poultry production where intelligent management is practiced.
 The meeting held on Nov. 8, com pleted the second full year of work of the Club and the results have

Wide Interest in System
 For Fighting Roundworms

The system of swine sanitation, worked out in the laboratories of the United States Department of Agriculture and first put into farm practice in Mclean County, H., is attracting the attention of many farmers elsewhere. The intestinal roundworm, which this system seeks to eliminate, is now recognized as one of the most important causes of loss to the hog raiser. Practically all reports from localities where it has been used have been favorable.
 During the last 12 months the system was tried out in the expert mental work in Mclean County on nearly 10000 pigs of both fall and spring filters. In August practically all the pigs were in remarkably thrifty condition, and the farmers are enthusiastic over the returns ob- tained from the little extra care and labor expended. \

disease appear, in most cases will be able to have the disease cured by the removal of the cancer.
 There are certain definite facts that we know about cancer: We know that it is not communicable disease. We know that it is not caused by germs and is not spread from one person to another. It is not apparently hereditary disease. Occasionally cases occur in families, which seem to indicate a pre-disposi- tion to cancer; these are rare, how ever, and do not continue back through many generations.
 When cancer begins, the symptoms are very mild, usually without pain, and although noticed by the patient the symptom is not recognized as the beginning of a serious condition.
 In a nutshell, we might say that cancer is curable only by the public. It is necessary that individual pa- tients have the knowledge to suspect the disease early, then go to the sur geon who will see them during the stage when the disease can be oper- ated on successfully. Any one who says, "All cancers are incurable," is woefully ignorant as' to modern methods of surgery and medical pro- cedure.
 The object of surgeons and medi- cal men at present is to teach the public how and when to go to a doc tor in the early stage of the disease. Often when cancer begins, it is noticeable by being a small lump beneath the skin surface and it may remain for a few weeks in this stage after, being noticed by the patient. The hope of curing cancer lies in this period. At the beginning it is local condition and does not affect other parts of the body. Practically all cancers are at this time operable and statistics show that the majority of these operations are successful.
 After a number of weeks, and per haps two or three months, a certain percentage of cancers have become so we'll established that branches of the cancer tissue spread into the surrounding parts of the body This tissue not only replaces the normal tissues but, by its manner of growth, often surrounds and kills the normal body tissues. Most cancers in this stage are inoperable.
 Some cancers are external and others internal.
 External Cancers may start as a lump beneath the skin and others have as a beginning a scar, mole, wart or ulcer. Long-continued irri- tation on part of the body may be followed by the growth of cancer tissue, beginning at this point. Irri- tation of the lips by the old-type of ''ay pipes was long known to be a cause of cancer.
