Brer since the lint daya of bicycles

of horses would become unprofitable.
■ Meanwhile the horae has kept lta place
among domestic animals and we now

the European war on us and so many
horses being killed in battle the near
future probably will see a greater
demand for horses than at any time
in the last century.
It is not advisable to breed a mare
having serious defects, but every

It Must Be Remembered That Serum

Different Methods of Apply

(Br DR. R. W. BTONDER, lowa Bfct«
College.)
Hog (holera serum is the only thing
known whloh will prevent or control
hog cholera.
Hog cholera serum is nothing more
or less than the blood of hogs which
have been immunised against hog
cholera.
There are two method* of applying
the serum, the single treatment and
the serum-simultaneous. The first con

serum proportionate to* the weight of
the hog. This gives an Immunity last
ing from three to six weeks. This
method never "hurts any. hog, even if
given in heavy overdoses.
The serum-simultaneous Is the same
as the single treatment with the ad
dition of a small quantity o{ virus or
blood containing the germs capable of
producing cholera. This gives the hogs
Immunity for life, except pips vacci
nated before eight weeks old.
Some losses have been reported
from the serum«lmultaaeoue treat
ment. They are the faults of methods
or materials rather' than the treat

and untested is the chief factor in
Injecting the Serum.
the failure of this treatment. Too
low doses, or improper application of
the serum are all causes of failure.
Kecords kept on 20,000 hogs show a
loss of less Han two per cent when
treated by the simultaneous method.
All were made Immune, some for
three years. /
Here are the facts In waging war
on hog cholera by the simultaneous
treatment:
Hogs can be made Immune.
If healthy when treated, and Jf re
tile, tested serum Is employed to
gether with food virus, there Is no
doubt that the serum simultaneous
treatment la a success.
Hog cholera serum In any process
will give good results on healthy hogs,
and better than nothing on sick ones.
It must be remembered that hoc chol
era serum is a a cure.
When serum is to be used, first get
all the pigs together In a pen so
they may be caught easily. Too much
exercise before injection Is not good
.for the animal.

DRY FARMIN9 TILLAGE
Very Muoh Depends on Farmer
and Equipment at Hand.
Medium dandy Loam, Free From
Hardpan and Clay Is Beet Adapted
—Works Up laslly and Helde
the Moleture Well.
While perhaps 320 acres or a half
section Is as much as can ordinarily
be tilled under dry farming methods
, by one man, very mucti depends upon
the man and equipment It Is a seri
ous mistake for anyone to undertake
to farm more than he can attend to
without slighting any of his work.
The soil best adapted to dry farming
Is a medium aandy loam, free from
gravel, hardpan and clay, writes F. A.
Randall of Idaho In Orange Judd Farm
er. It works up easily and holds mois
ture well. For Its proper cultivation
we need disk, moldboard plows, bar
rows, press drills and roller. The disk
plow Is used In sagebrush and mold
board plow for the older soils. My
plan Is preparing storage for water
Is deep plowing by summer fallow
method, close harrowing and continu
ous harrowing after rales. This keeps
the surfsce soil loose, freely admit
ting all precipitation and prevents rap
id evaporation. It also keeps the fields
very free from weeds.
The practical crops grown are wheat,
oats, barley, potatoes, alfalfa and peas.
PlQWlng must be deep. I plow nothing
less than 7 Inches, the large majority
of my farm Is stirred to a depth of
10 Inches at each operation. By so
doing I provide a deep reservoir for
water storage. Plowing to this depth,
of course, requires power and here 1s
where I differ In Judgment from many
of my neighbors. We have horse pow
er, mule power, gasoline tractors and
steam engines. I have tried all and
am thoroughly convinced that there la
no power equal to good mules.
Now, good plowing means something
more than deep plowing. Half the ad
vantages of deep plowing may be lost
by careless plowing. I Insist that ev-°
ery furrow turned Is never more In
width than the slse of the share. There
must be no cut and cover proposition,
but all dirt must be completely
turned. If the ground Is weedy or not
In good condition, I frequently plow
the field a second time.
I begin sowing winter wheat from
August IB to September 20. Spring
wheat is town Just as early aa It la
possible to get In the fields after th*
frost is out. The grain is drilled In.
;not broadcast, and nothing but tb*
press drill used. With It the seed is
sown at a more even depth and th*
surface packed over the aeed, giving
It « much better covering and aeed
bed. Diak and barrow are used to
puherlxe the aoll. From thra* to fiv*
harrowing* are given the Held, th*
number of operations depending on the
ground and the amount of rainfall. I
I do not use the disk anises th*
ground is hard, w**dy or sodd*d. For
ordinary harrow, the splk* or drag har
row Is always preferable. Th* w**d*r
Is another handy tool that com** Into
play whenever we*d* b*com* bother
some. The surface aoll I* worked up
into a mulch, uaaally from 1 to 2
Inchee deep, and mast be carefully har
rowed after every hard rain to pre
vent lu packing or forming a crust.
If th* fi*ld 1* vary dry I use th* roller
(or the purpose of packing the surface,
but under ordinary .condition*, or
whers th* soli contains any trac* of

surfsce packer Is a splendid tool to us*
on b**vy soli, but it do** littl* or no

at least thra* tlm«* after It 1* up. If
th* ground crusts after a rain, It la
neeessary to harrow, and if th* w**da

accessary to harrow. In tact, yon

SPREAD HOQ CHOLERA GERMS
Dieease Cemmunleeted to Healthy An-
Imala Only by Permitting Germs
' » to Be Carried to Them.
(By BR. B. T. SIMMS, Oregon Experl
'ment Station.) x
Hog raisers need to bi- *n tbe alert
to prevent the introduction and
spread of the dread disease into their
parts of the state.' Sine* the disease
is dhe to a germ of mlcroecopic slse
it naturally follows that It can be
communicated to well hogs only by
permitting the germs to be carried
to them. A knowledge of thsr differ
ent methods of carrying the germ
from Infected hogs to well hogs Is es
sential to prevention. Some of
theee methods of spread are aa fol
lows:
1. By direct contact with bogs suf
fering from cholera.
2. By carriers, that Is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera, but still
pass germs with their droppings.
I. By humans that have come Into
contact with infected hogs or prem-
Ises.
4. By dogs, coyotes, buxsards and
other carrion-eating animals that have
fed on the carcasses or Infected hogs.
' S. By stock cars, stock yards, etc.,
In which have been placed Infected
hogs.
*. By Infected water.
1. By slope, swill and garbage that
have been Infected with bacon rinds
or ham bones from hogs that had
been afflicted with cholera at slaugh
ter. *
Oerras will ordinarily die out In four
months in lot conditions, but are so
resistant that they sarvlv* the usual
curing and packing process u carried
on In the big packing bouses. After
they have once found lodgment In
th* bog there Is no remedy known but
hog ebolora serum. Growers should
therefore take every precaution to see
that germs do not enter their herds
by any of the foregoing means.

The thouaand miles- of highway

be traversed. Special appropriations
also will be Bought from the provincial
