Warns Buyers of

he number Of hogs purchased and

feeding purposes has increased con.
siderahlv trom ye&r to year, accord

are bought from yariJus sources,
some Of them locally from farmers,

All sources more than half q million

farms.
Following the severe outbreak Of
hog cholera i'll the fall of 1926, there
were moved from officially super
viSed stuckNards to farms, for re
stocking purposes, 400,55j hogs in
SiN months. Some losses have been
experienced 10y farmers in the pur
chase OF stockrr hogs. In animals
shipped from such stockvardS the
losses from various swine diseases
have ranged from ) to per cent.
Hogs purchased at storkyards where
Federal inspection is maintained are
treated against hog cholera before
shipping and the losses from that
disease consequently have been
low.
Cholera Danger Great
The danger of losses from hog
cholera is greater III the hogs pur
chas"d from local dealers and at
public sales. The feed lots, stock
pens and wards through which these
hogs are handled locally are usually
infected and & large portion Of the
animals handled there have not been
'EmuniAcd against hog cholera. The
possibility Of hogs contracting the
disease at these points must not be
overlooked.
All buyers of feeder hogs bring
ing such animals on their premises
should have absolute Knowledge. no
matter from what source they pur-
chase, that the hogs have been
treated against cholera. In tn" alb
sencc Of proof that they have been
SO treated, hogs bought locally
should be given the preventive ser.
um treatment as soon as they reach
destination. Under no circumstance

placed with the original herd on

arate for at least II days, regardless

RARE STONES GIFT
TO SMITHSONIAN
1900 in Collection of Late
Col. RoebIing, Builder of
Brooklyn Bridge.

The finest private mineral collec-
ton in the world, gathered by the late
Col Washington A. Roebling, builder
of the Brooklyn Bridge. has been pre-
scented to the Smithsonian Institution
by his son, John A. Roebling.
The gift is accompanied by an en-
dowment of $4,000 to insure its
maintenance.
The collection contains almost 1900
mineral species-almost all known to
science.
The collection contains number
of rarities. such as a 64-carat black
diamond from South Africa. 1t is
perfect crystal and is believed to be
one of the largest black diamond
crystals known.
Among the cut stones there is a
310-carat perdiot from the Island of
St. John. in the Red Sea. 1t is
supposed to have adorned the image
Of a saint in an Austrian church for
some three centuries. A wine-col-
ored topaz from Brazil weighs 90
carats. An exceptional alexandria of
80 carats from Ceylon shows green
in sunlight and red in artificial light.
Tourmalines Group Rare.
The finest group of precious tour
malines ever taken from Mesa Grande,
Calf. adorn the Roebling collection.
Maine contributed its finest purple
apatite. A rare 4-carat cut blue
euclase from Brazil is exceptional in
color and size.
Mineral collecting was the constant
hobby of Col. RoeblingS exciting and
varied career. During the Civil War
he built suspension bridges for the
Army across the Rappahannock and
hn Ghnvanr11oa1, Ac,n nhc IL n
captive balloon he was the first to dis
cover and announce that Gen. Lee was
moving off towards Gettysburg. With
his own hands he helped drag the
cannon up little Round Top at Gettys-
burg, the maintenance of which on the
second day of the battle helped turn
the tide in favor of the Union forces.
Brooklyn Bridge Undertaking.
On the death of h is father in 1869
he took over the building Of the
Brooklyn Bridge. None of the plans
of the Brooklyn Bridge were fully
drawn up at the time of the elder
Roebling'S death. The plan and con-
Struction were almost entirely the
work of Col. Washington Roebling. It
is considered one of the greatest
engineering feats of the century.
During the following two years he
spent more hours in the compressed
air of the caissons than any other
man, and in 1872 was brought up un-
conscious and on the verge of death.
His health was broken, and thereafter
he worked out every step in the con-
struction of the bridge from his sick
bed.
During all this time and in his sub
sequent busy years as an engineer
and manufacturer, Col. Roebling found
his keenest pleasure in the study and
collecting of minerals. The collections
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-01-03

became almost part of his life. On
the cover of book on minerals re-
ceived a month before he died Col.
Roebling wrote, with reference to his
collection: "W. A. r. has to give abso-
lutely, June, 1926. 1t cost me $3.50, 900
and contains all the rare minerals in
the world"
