Wayside Markets Become
a National Institution

Millions of motorists have been
reading signs like this: Beets, peas,
squash, apples and honey, fresh eggs,
80 cents, and seeing these signs have
bought. Small farmers everywhere
have put. up these little roadside
markers where each year increasing
thousands have purchased fresh prod
uce. These wayside markets are be-
coming national institution, bring
ing back the direct touch of farmer
and consumer, says the Illinois Farm
er. Probably some middlemeD and
retail groceries are displeased. but
the consumer likes 1t. For nine
months in the year the consumer
must meet the demands of the mer-
chants in the large cities, and there
fore will have scant sympathy with
him in this problem. This is growing
into an immense business and the con-
sumner Is rejoicing In his ability to
get really fresh vegetables and eggs
without having to pay any number of
persons for carrying them from the
farm to his door.

Infection May Be Carried
From Contaminated Places
to Clean Yards.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
1t is positively known that the in
lection of hog cholera may be car
ried from contaminated sources to
clean premises, from the sick herd to
the healthy one. Though some of the
means of conveying the disease are
still obscure, there are several we'll
known channels of infection. Against
these the swine owners may readily
guard in protecting their herds. :.
The most dangerous factor in the
spread of this disease, say veterinary
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is the con-
tact of hogs sick with cholera with
susceptible hogs, that is, hogs that
have not been immunized. Sick hogs
should be kept apart from the re-
mainder OF the herd and should be
well fenced in, thus eliminating the
danger Of their escaping and mingling
with healthy though susceptible hogs.
On the other hand farmers should
keep all hogs protected against roam
ing hogs by having hog-tight fences.
Ways Infection Spreads.
The introduction into the herd of
new stock hogs coming from either
small local stockyards or from local
sales has carried cholera to entire
herds in many instances. These small
assembling and loading yards become
contaminated with cholera and the dis
ease, as a rule, goes with the hogs
purchased there. There is the same
danger in buying hogs at public sale,
as well as in borrowing for breeding
purposes and in returning hogs from
fairs or other exhibitions. Unless
the home herd carries immunity
against cholera, new stock hogs
brought to the farm should be kept
by themselves well removed from the
others for at least p days. The
lending and borrowing of breeding
stock should be done with great pre-
caution to avoid the spread of cholera.
The failure of swine owners to
burn or bury the hogs that die on
their premises has resulted in many
an outbreak of hog cholera. This is
the factor that enables the dog and
the buzzard to carry cholera infection
to other farms. All diseased animals
that die on the farm should be prop
erly disposed of by either burning or
burying deeply.
The feeding Of table scraps and
garbage to nonimmune hogs is dam
gerous practice from the standpoint
of cholera infection. Such feed may
contain trimmings, rind and bones
originating from cholera-infected pork,
and the virus of the disease may be
conveyed to the herd.
The stock-food peddler and the hog
buyer going from farm to farm, and
from one hog lot or pen to another,
are still regarded as potential factors
in the carrying of cholera infection.
These men go to many places in the
course OF the day and may tramp
through infected premises. There is
always possibility that the virus of
cholera may be carried in the mud
or manure on shoes, hoofs of horses,
and wheels of wagons.
Small streams brooks and canals,
In which cholera-sick hogs wallow be-
come contaminated and the infection
carried by the current may attack
susceptible hogs having access to
these waters. Hogs not immunized
should be kept away from such
streams.

Steve Brodie-the Steve Brodie who

mill with umbrellas-scores and hun

Agricultural Notes

A pint of formaline will yield many
bushels of oats.
Poultry need direct sunlight and
good ventilation to keep in best health.
Each for all and all for each" is
the biggest sermon outside of the
Good Book; and it spells cooperation.
Years teach us more than books"
but books will teach us more in fewer
years. It's a wise farmer who reads.
In the constant cultivation and crop
ping of our soils the organic matter is
burned out, and used up. Manure
goes far toward replacing this loss.
Concrete fence posts of unusual
shapes can be built by the use of
special metal molds. These are pro-
duced by several manufacturers.
Potatoes keep best in storage at a
temperature of from "a to SO degrees
Fahrenheit. They are one of the
easiest vegetables to store. Good ven
tilation is an advantage.
Store credit costs more than bank
credit because storekeepers are
equipped to handle merchandise and
not credit; bankers are equipped to
handle credit and not merchandise.
A good, workable mortar for ma
soary construction on the farm can
be made by mixing one part portland
cement to six parts sand, to which is
added one part hydrated lime.

Prevent Spread
Of Hog Cholera

- y
While other possible means Of trans
mission may be enumerated, those
mentioned are considered the chief
ones. If these factors are guarded
against, much will be done to prevent
the spread Of cholera and to reduce
losses. However, since it is difficult
matter to safeguard against all these
dangers, the safe and positive method
to follow in sections producing many
hogs is that of immunization of the
herd. This done as yearly procedure
will remove all anxiety as to the safe
ty of the animals. 1t should not be
forgotten, however, that sanitation in
the raising of swine has much to do
with the health and thriftiness of the
herd.

LIME AND POTASH ESSENTIAL
FOR PROFITABLE CLOVER CROP

large quantities of potash and If
large crops are removed the soil Is
soon exhausted of the available
potash. Experiments have shown
that Is to so pounds of muriate of
potash to the acre usually meets the
requirements of clover. Sometimes
100 pounds may be needed.
Where the soil has been properly
inoculated with nitrogen-fxing bac-
terra it is not necessary to use nitro
gen fertilizers on clover. The plant
has the ability to obtain it's nitro
gen from the air through the aid of
these bacteria.

Plant Forage Designed
for the Silo Nearby

In planting forage designed for the
.silo, a few details should be kept in
mind. First, it should be grown as
close to the silo or point of feeding as
possible, because silage is bulky and
should not be hauled any farther than
necessary. A crop that is grown on
rich soil under favorable conditions
is generally of better quality than one
grown on poor soil. Quick growth has
less woody fiber and is more digesti-
BILE and palatable; therefore, the land
should have enough fertilizer to make
a rapid growth.

CITY May CALL
VOTE ON BONDS
Commission Considers
Financing Further
Improvements

The proposition of submitting ad-
ditional bond issues for extension
of the city's sewer system and ad-
ditional street paving will be con-
sidered at a meeting Of the city
commission to be held some time
this week. If a decision is reached
to vote bonds for these purposes the
propositions will be submitted to
the voters at the same time as the
bonds for the municipal airport.
The commission will be unable to
comply with many requests FOR paw
ing extensions unless additional
bonds are voted, and improvement
Of the systems, which would
eliminate the discharge into the
city resaca, would also necessitate
voting of additional bonds, it was
stated at the meeting Of the COM
mission Friday. The city engineer
is now working on estimates on the
proposed improvement pro-
gram.
No estimate has been made on the
amount of the bond issues which
may be presented { o the voters.
Members of the city commission
stated Friday that il il is necessary
to vote further bonds for this pur-
pose it would be advisable 10 pre-
sent them 10 the voters when the
airport bond election is called,
thereby eliminating the necessity
for two bond elections.
