There is only one method known at the present time that" can be depended upon as an absolute safeguard. 1 refer tothe heat ing of serum to 60 C. for 30 minutes, as recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry. The man who-uses any hog cholera serum that has not been heated 1y this Government-recommended process, takes a" needless risk. Unless the serum is refined it contains solid, matter which has no protective value, but causes the serum to be ab sorbed very slowly.'

Tfrese articles should be read by every farmer interested In rais ing a maximum corn or cotton crop. QNE reason why farmers should use more two-horse cultivators is that they take a full row every time and thus save one-half the labor, bill. But another equally important reason is that they can be adjusted and adapted to all conditions of soils' and crops, to cultivate deep or shallow, level or bedded..- . ' -a ;r. s. ) -.VSy A farmer can ftow buy a two-horse wheel cultivator which will use anv kind of spring-tooth, shovel or disk attachment that he may prefer. For example suppose he purchases a rid ing disk cultivator and finds it useful to; round off and pulverize the seed beds before planting. ; As soon as the corn or cotton gets large enough to. cultivate, these disk gangs can be taken off and four, six or eight shov els attached in their place. These will serve if or ; the first one or two cultiva tions and can then te replaced .by sweeps or, by spring-tooth gangs. By paying just a little more for these ex tra attachments, a farmer is prepared to cultivate his crop . anv wav. he time! insnrincr immediate and full Dro- l If 1 fuAMfl illA WA.SV lMlAAfAH 1 - V .. -.

For example, in a disk cultivator, the disk gangs can be set ta throw? the dirt toward or away from the row, to throw more or. less dirt, and to leave, the surface "level or bedded. With the "shovel gang at tachment, the shovels can be twisted to throw the dirt either wav or set straight and leave the surface level; they can be set to penetrate deep or .shallow, or placed close together or farther apart according to .width of rows. i. The two-horse cultivators have some , other important adjustments which make them very desirable.. The wheels" can be placed ; at any distance apart depending upon the width of rows. This is usually, accomplished by. what is known as' a telescope axle: that is, the axle is in -two pieces and the ends opposite the -wheels can' be forced in or .out of a socket, sleeve casting, or pipe. The single trees on all two-horse cultivators can be. attached at varying heights, depending upon the- size of team: - that is, to do the1 best work with a large team, set the single trees higher than for a smaller team.: " The tension on the gang lift springs on most cultivators can be varied, de pending - upon the weight of .the gangs.'. Disk gangs are heavier than shovel gangs, ' consequently these springs tniist be tightened in order to permit the gangs to be lifted out of the ground easily.

Our problem of serving the public has all at once assumed a new and weightier aspect. Extraordinary demands on tele phone service by the Government have been made and are being met. Equipment must be provided for the great training camps, the coast- deiense stations must be linked to gether by means of communication, and the facilities perfected to put the Government in touch with the entire country at a moment's notice. ...'1 . . In planning for additions to the plant of the Bell System for 1917, one hundred and thirty millions of dollars were apportioned. ; This is by far the largest program evet undertaken. - But the cost of raw materials has doubled in a year. ; Adequate supplies of copjper, lead, wire, steel and other essentials of hew equip ment are becoming harder to get at any price, for the demands of war must be met v Under the pressure of business incident to the war, the telephone using public must co-operate in order that bur new plans to meet the extraordinary growth in tele phone stations and traffic may be made adequate. - ' , .

All riding cultivators should have a balancing lever or "some adjustment by which the weight of the driver on the seat and the'tongue are properly balanced so that, when the gangs are raised, the neck yoke will not. fly up and strike the jaws" of the horses. Of course the seat can always be moved forward or backward in order to per- mit the operator to handle the gangs easily with his feet. This adjustment may- sometimes be used to balance the cultivator also. - In buying a two-hgrse cultivator of either the walking or riding type, the farmer should keep' all of these . ad justments in mind and take advantage of them if possible . i J F.
