Tells of Blackleg and
Wavs of Its Prevention
prepared by the United State. Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
ImmunizatiOn by vaccination Is the
only practicable and effective means
of protecting animals against black
leg and eventually Kidding pastures of
the infection, says the United States
Department of Agriculture In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1855, prepared by DR..
John r. Mohler, chief of the bureau of
animal industry. This disease, which
is found in all climates and attitudes
In practically all parts of the world,
is the cause of great losses In this
country, particularly in the great cat
tie raising and feeding sections of the
West.
In the new bulletin all Of the. impor-
tant information on this disease has
been brought together in concise form.
The nature of the malady and the
characteristic symptoms are so de-
scribed and compared with those of
other diseases that there can be little
danger of confusion. Cattle, especial
ly young animals from six to eighteen
months of age, are most susceptible,
but sheep and goats also are subject
to It,, and in exceptional cases hogs
have contracted it. Man. horses, dogs,
cats and fowls appear to be immune
from the infection. Improved animals
seem to be less resistant to it than
common or low-grade stock. Spring
and fall are the seasons of greatest
prevalence, bat blackleg may occur at
any time of the year.
Medicinal treatment has been found
worse than useless as animals sick
with the disease are sure to die. and
the longer they are kept alive the
greater the danger of injecting others
in the herd. Those sick with black
leg should be killed and burned or
buried deeply in quick lime. Protec-
ton against infection is afforded by
vaccination, and there are number
of reliable preparations on the mar
ket. Formerly the Department of
Agriculture manufactured and dis
tributed blackleg vaccine, but. as re-
suit of an act of congress. this distri-
button was discontinued beginning
July 1, 1922.
Copies of the bulletin may be had.
as long as the supply lasts, by writing
to the Department of Agriculture.

Certain Minerals Quite
Beneficial to All Hogs

A healthy hog doesn't need lot of
drugs in his feed or water, but certain
minerals are necessary, and the most
successful breeders keep these minerals
before their hogs at all times. Wood
ashes, or charcoal, lime ana salt are
used by many of the most successful
breeders. The charcoal can be made
very easily by burning cobs. Rake up
the cobs into pile and fire them.
When they are well charred sprinkle
salt over them, then quench the fire
with water The charred cobs may be
raked into pile and the hogs will
help themselves.
Where self-feeders are used and salt,
lime and charcoal self-fed, the charcoal
need not be salted, but simply grind up
the charred material. If your pigs run
on good pasture and get plenty of good
buttermilk or skim milk they will not
need so much of these minerals, but 1t
is we'll worth while to have them be-
fore them anyhow. They need seme
of them to supplement and balance any
ration.

A New York collector recently bought
a rare copy of the Bible, known as the
Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed
from movable type. He paid $6O,ooO
for 1t. Now this claim Of being the
first book printed from movable type
has been disputed by the Hollanders.
The Germans claim Gutenberg Invent
ed the art of printing, but in the flower
city of HARLEM, Holland. there stands
on the Groote Markt statue OF Eau-
rens Roster, another inventor of the art
of printing. 1t is quite possible that
two different men hit upon the idea at
the same time, but then the Chinese
could print ten centuries before the
birth of Christ

Back In the days when the money

Governor Taylor was candidate for

Santonin Mixture Will
Ranish Worms in Pigs

The presence Of cough in pigs is
generally due to worms, and steps
should be taken Immediately to re-
move the cause when a cough Is
noted. Animal husbandrymen at the
Iowa State college recommend treat
ing coughing pigs with mixture of
eight grains Of santonin, two drains
Of areca nut, two grains Of calomel
and one dram of sodium bicarbonate.
This dose is suitable for 10O-pound
pig. Reduce the dose or add to 1t as
the size of the animal indicates.
After the dose Is administered. see
that the pigs are removed to a clean
pasture and are given clean quarters
throughout. Do not leave the pigs In
the old pen, as 1t is almost sure to be
infested.

WHITE OUT TOPUT
 KHAN FROM KANSAS
In Seeking Independent Nomina'
 ton for Governor
By The Assoclnted Press,

By The Associated Press
 Topeka, Kan, Sept. 20.-By his slogas, Free Kansas from the ku Klux Kan" William Allen White, In his statement issued today in con- nection with the filing of his inde- pendent candidacy for governor, de- clared "I am in the race 10 stay and win." "The Issue in Kansas this year is the Kan above everything,f the veteran Emporla editor asserted, adding that Klan has become a na- tional menace.
 He attacked Ben S, Paulcn and Jonathan NJ. Davis the republican and democratic gubernatorial nomi- nees respectively, charging that the two major parties are lied in the race for governor by men who had Kan support in the primary and who will not disavow that support today"
 Mr. White referred to his petition ss the largest independent petition ever filed for any office in Kansas"
 "None of these petitions came from my home town or county" he said. T wished honestly to test sen- timent."
 "The Ku Klux Kan is found in nearly every county" he said. It represents d small minority and is organized for purpose of terror. Its terror is directed at honest, law abiding citizens, negoes, Jews and Catholics. These groups in Kansas compose more than one-fourth of our population. They are entitled 10 their full constitutional rights. They menace no one.
 They are good citizens, law-abid- ing, God-fearing, prosperous, patri- otic, yet, because of their skin, or their race or their creed, the ku Klux Klan in Kansas is subjecting them to economic boycott, to sociaI ostracism, to every form of harass' ment. annoyance and every terror that a bigoted minority can use.
 And the leaders of two majol parties in this state lift no hand tt defend these people. xxx.
 q want to be governor tos fret Kansas from the disgrace of the kl Klux Klan. And l want to offet Kansans afraid of the Klan ant ashamed of that disgrace, a candi date who shares their fear ant shame. X XX.
 Kansas with high intelligence ant pure American blood, of all states should be free of this taint of big otry and terror. X xx.
 'sThe thought that Kansas shoult have a government beholden to thl hooded gang of masked fanatics, ig norant and tyrannical in their ruth less oppression, is what calls me ou of the pleasant ways of my life iEt this distasteful but necessary task I cannot sit idly and see Kansas be come a byword among the states.
 T call to my support least of those who are oppressed by the k Kiux Klan. We must have no claS issue here. l call to my suppol rather, fair-minded citizens of ever party, of every creed, to stop th oppression of the minority of ou people"
 Tt is a nationwide menace, thi Kan. It knows no party. It know no country. It knows also bigotr. malice and terror. Our nation; government is founded on reaso and the Golden Rule. This Kian preaching and practicing terror an force. Its only prototype is the Sc viet of Russia So l feel that al walking the path of duty in soir into this race"
