WORK FOR COMING YEAR

The State Roads Commission is
busy with plans for road building
during the approaching spring and
summer. Several miles of highway
will be built in Frederick county but
exactly what roads will be improved
is a question.
1t is certain that two miles of the
highway from Frederick to Washing
ton by way of Buckeystown will be
constructed this summer. The con-
tract for this work has already been
let to the M. J. Grove Lime Company.
The link will extend from the Ford
Furnace bridge oveA the Monocacy
river beyond Licksville to Dickerson.
One mile will be in Frederick county
and the other mile in Montgomery
county. This will give Frederick a
new automobile routd to Washington,
the only gap being small stretch
of highway on hill south of Dicker-
son. This road will be about half
mile shorter than the present route
by way of Ridgeville.
Surveys are being made on several
other highways. While nothing def
mite can be learned it is understood
that two miles of the Georgetown
pike extending from Urbana toward
the Montgomery county line; one
mile of the Thurmont- Graceham road
two miles of the Libe1ty-New Windsor
highway; and two miles of highway in
Middletown valley will be constructed
this summer in addition to completing
several miles of highway that were to
have been constructed last year but
were held up by squabbles over the
ght-of-way.--Post

HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAKS

This disease was reported to exist
on II premises during the month of
February. One of these was back
yard outbreak;13 were classed as pri-
mary, and 4 as secondary.
Baltimore, Cecil and Prince George
counties were tied for the doubtful
honor of having the most outbreaks,
three being reported from each couh-
ty. Washington county, accustomed
to leading the procession, could do no
better than to tie with Montgomery
county for second place, each having
two outbreaks.
Dorchester, Carroll, Wicomico and
Qusen Anne reported one each.
Of the primary outbreaks 8 were
apparently due to the feeding of gar
bage, table scraps, etc., to the in
PRODUCTION of new stock, and in two
instances no history was obtained on
which to base the source of infection.
One farmer fed table scraps to his
hogs. They took sick and it was two
months before diagnosis was made.
In the meantime the sick hogs were
permitted to run at large, and car
casses of the animals that died were
not buried. Results, the disease
spread to two other farms, making
total of three outbreaks. Another
little job for the trench diggers.
Two parties from different counties
went into an adjoining State and pur-
chased pigs at public sale. They
made two mistakes. First, they
bought pigs regarding which they
knew nothing. Second, they failed
to comply with the State law in bring
ing the pigs across the line. Had
they been willing to observe the law
they would have been compelled to
have had the pigs vaccinated before
they brought them home. And while
the two outbreaks may not have been
avoided the losses would undoubtedly
have been much less. Results, 40 pigs
lost. Could radical Judge have in
flicted heavier penalties
One farmer was told that garbage
was an excellent feed for his hogs.
He was not warned of the danger in
feeding the product, nor did his infor-
mant tell him that it took ton of
garbage to make 40 pounds of porkl
About the time the pigs on this place
were taken sick, number of pigs
were sold to an acquaintance several
miles away. Results-two outbreaks.
More work for the vaccinators.
Two parties were hauling garbage
for the reason that they thought they
were getting cheap feed for their
hogs. Results-about3, 500 pounds of
pork buried. If those parties again
try feeding garbage to their hogs it
will be necessary for them to haul out
Sc tons to make up for their losses
from these outbreaks. Did the gar
bage prove cheap feed?
One farmer admitted that pork was
purchased occasionally but insisted
that none of the. bones, rinds or scraps
were fed to the hogs. Indeed not, they
gave them to the dogs. The hogs on
the premises that were properly con-
fined did not develop the disease. But
five little pigs having the run of the
premises, could and undoubtedly did
partake of the lunch provided for the
dogs. 1t was these that broke with
the disease. Is Sherlock Holmes
needed in this case?
One party bought pigs that he knew
nothing about from a dealer because
they were cheap. Results-38 pigs
lost. "Them pigs is gone forever"
