COMPLEXIONS sleepy-lookin- g . -- States Department (Prepared by the United WNU Service. of Agriculture.) The objection of many farmers to having their swine herds immunized against hog cholera on account of cost comes principally from those who wait until the hogs are full grown before using the treatment, says Dr. T. P. White, of the division of control, bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. In sections where hog cholera is more or less prevalent year after year. Doctor White adds, the serum treatment Is the only safe method of .protection. In those localities the immunizing of the herd should be a regular practice just as castrating, docking, dehorning, and other common livestock operations. As in the case of those operations that are practiced early in the life of the animal, it is preferable to immunize early. In experimental tests and under certain field conditions pigs a few days old have been immunized against hog cholera. In general practice, however, opinion seems to favor immunization not long before or soon after weaning. Even at that period, when the pigs may weigh from 30 to 40 pounds, the amounts of serum and virus necessary to confer Immunity are much less than for grown hogs. he cost is correa lower, pig of that age respondingly quiring in some cases only a third of n the expense necessary to treat a Also the veterinarian hog. finds it easier to handle young pigs.

Even more Important to consider is the fact, not generally recognized, that a patch of raspberries, strawberries and other small fruits may be cared for easily on a small piece of ground in conection with chickens, a vegetable garden and even a cow, a combination which will help to make a and pay big family dividends in health and happiness as well.

Adding small amounts of cottonseed meal or linseed meal and alfalfa meal increased slightly the rate of gain and decreased the feed required per unit of gain as compared to tankage alone, but large amounts of cottonseed meal had the opposite effect v Timothy and alsike clover can be sown successfully up to October 1. t Trees may be used to good advantage on bits of land unfit for cultivated crop. . CHAPTER X Continued 2& I understand thoroughly, Elmer. youre forgiven everything all Well, except running away like a dog. Really, you act as if you are horribly afraid of something. I am, but I cant discuss it over the telephone. Tell you what Ill do, Nellie. Ill delay my departure and you come to dinner with me tonight Id love to, Elmer, but not tonight But I can go with you tomorrow night Im too busy to see you before then. Reluctantly Elmer agreed to her counter proposal and Nellie, hugely satisfied with herself, hung up and returned to the bank, where she wrote the following letter to J. Fitzgerald, acting captain of detectives, Los Angeles police department: Dear Captain Fitzgerald: With reference to the matter we telediscussed over the a I told when check that you phone, in favor of Doris Gatewood had been received at this bank and was being returned with the notation Signature of Indorser irregular: You will be glad to know that your action In conforming to my request and mailing anonymously to Mr. Clarke the police records and rogues gallery photographs of Colorado Charley has borne rich fruit. Within a few minutes after its receipt Mr. Clarke called at the bank and ordered payment stopped on the check. He was much disturbed. Shortly thereafter he purchased two thousand dollars worth of travelers checks here, so I realized he was about to leave the state. Immediately I made it my business to call him up and ascertained, without letting him know I was pumping him, that he is frightened and panicky. Evidently he has compromised himself, probably in writing, and now fears reprisals from the outraged and disappointed lady in the shape of a suit for breach of promise. My personal opinion is, however, that now they realize his suspicions are aroused, they will endeavor to extract as large a cash settlement as possible, guaranteeing no publicity in return. Of course we must protect him by catching them in the act of levying blackmail, and if Mr. Clarke fled the state we couldnt do that, could we? So I have managed to delay his departure forty-eighours. This letter will reach you via the same train that carries Mr. Clarkes rejected check back to the Los Angeles bank. In fact, it will reach you earlier than that, because I am sending It special delivery. Immediately upon receipt of it, please arrange to have the movements of this unsavory couple watched and report to me by telephone.

As soon as he has withpastures disease the restricted hogs can be treated and if any of them die from cholera or other infectious diseases they can be burned or buried, thus removing the danger that infection may be carried away. In the case of range hogs, however, cholera may reach the herd when the bogs are feeding in remote areas and when the condition is discovered, if at ail, it Is usually too late to treat the animals. In fact, the first warning the owner receives, as a rule, comes when he finds several dead hogs scattered here and there. Although, in some of the states mentioned, typical range conditions do not exist, the fact that hogs often run at large along public highways and on unfenced tracts Indicates lack of control over their movements, with resulting exposure to any cholera infection that may be present. Cholera-sichogs dying in remote or hidden places constitute a potential source of infection. Doctor White declares.
