What results have fcodn accomplished.
Again, I would appeal to prery
one that are members of the Asaoci- 1

run down and thereby allow this ev 1
cellent organization to die out, and [
lend discouragement to its faithful
superintendent who fins willingly labored
with it since its organization
without the hope of reward so far
&b our labor here is concerned.
Le'a all encourage her by being
faithful members and keeping up
our subscriptions, and it ia my hope
hhaat otters will Join In this work.
We have been fortunate this year 1
even with the great storm that we
had no great deal of suffering. This
.winter has been fairly mUd, and no
great drain on its treAaury or funds. *
However, we mav have a bad. J

The Department of agriculture Is
trying to eliminate tho danger to
cattle from poisonous plants on national
forest ranges. Of these
plants, larkspur loco weed, death
camas. and water hemlock, are the
moat poisonous. Larkspur does
the most harm, because it is so
widely distributed and is particularly
bad for cattle. Ordinarily, horses
will not eat larkspur and sheep pan

DEPARTMENT CONDUCTING
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THE HOG CHOLERA ^
Washington D. C., Mar. 12.?The
Department of Agriculture, during
tho past year, has been conducting
campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iow&
and Nebraska to control the
contagious disease of hogs known as c
"hog cholera" by means of anti-hog- ?
cholera serum and farm quarantine?.
In one couqty (Pettis county, Missou 1
rl) where thero was a loss of IS per 0
cent in 1911 and 25.6 per cent in 1
1912 of all hogs raised, tnero was c
only a loss of 14.7 per cent up to ^
i November 1913. This decrease r
was due to the use of the serum, E
; which attaougfc., not used there by the c
Department's agents until August, ,
| 1913, materially reduced the loss. c
, About 60,000 hogs wore raised dur- (
{ ing the past year and of the 10,000 (
, that died of the hog cholera only ;
about 1,000 were lost after the ac- j
r tive use of serum and quarantine
n ensures were inaugurated.
In every county where these f
measures were employed, even f
I though bgun after the disease had ,
. continued-its ravages for some time ,
there was 1cbj? joss from hog cbol- (
J era than in either of the two preced!
ing years.
In addition to its great function
1 as a preventivo, it has been found \
I that the anti-hog-choleTa scrum J
1 would cure a largo proportion of j
hogs in the o&rly stages of the dlaj
ease and render them Immune after
.. recovery. However, if hogs ate not ,
f treated by this serum from 75 to ,
b 100 per cent of all affected herds
P die.,This serum, so far as is known,
is the only thing that will prevent
the disease.
r Of hogs actually sick when treat"
ed, the Department's inspectors lost
bnt 26 per oent-during the past sum
mer. Of well hogs in diseased
herds. 2.8 per cent died after b??ng
treated and of hogs in exposed herds
less than 1 per cent died after being
inoculated with the serum. In an
infected herd there is always cer
tain proportion of hogs that are well.
The inspector examines the hogg,
0 when he arrives, takes the tempera0
tare of all hogs ip the herd and sop0
arates the sick from ttfe well. The
