CONTROL HOG CHOLERA Some Facts Given in Waging War on the Dread Disease. lt Must Be Remembered That Serum ls Preventive, Not a Cure-Two Different Methods of Apply ing Are Described. (Bfr DR. K. W. STONDER, Iowa State Hcg cholera serum is the only thing klo'.'n which will prevent or control j hog cholera. Hog cholera serum is nothing more o< less than the blood of hogs which h$*e been immunized against hog cJteiera. There are two methods of applying the serum, the single treatment and th? serum-simultaneous. The first con sists merely of injecting a quantity of Disinfecting Site of Injection. 'sarum proportionate to the weight ol 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 seniir.-sinultaneous Is the same as the single treatment with the ad dition of a Email quantity of virus or blood containing the germs capable ol producing cholera. This gives the hogs immunity for life, except pigs vacci nated before eight. weeks old. Some losses have been reported from the serum-simultaneous treat ment. They are the faults of methods or materials rather than the treat ment. Poor serum of low potency and untested is the chief factor in Injecting the Serum. the failure ot this treatment. Too low doses, cr improper application of the serum are all causes of failure. Records kept cn 20,000 hogs show al loss of less than two per cent when] treated by the simultaneous method. All were made immune, some for three years. Here are the facts in waging wari on hog cholera by the simultaneous | treatment: Hogs can be made inmune. Ii healthy when treated, and if re-| ole, teste 1 serum is employed to gether with good virus, there is no doubt that the s?rum simultaneous .treatment is a success. Hog cholera serum in any process ?will give good resulcs on healthy hoz3, and better than nothing on sick ones. It must be remembered that hog chol era serum is a preventive, not 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. Injection may be on Inner side of A rear leg or in armpit; either spot must be cleaned carefully, using first "warm water and soap and following 'with alcohol or a three to five pei -cent solution of carbolic acid. All vessels and instruments must 3>e sterilizeci before use end the on erator's hands should be cleaned, dis infected and kept so. STANCHIONS FOR THE CALVES Youngster Will Not Worry About Neighbor Getting Part of His Meas and Will Drink Slowly. Harmful results are frequently brought on in young calves by their drinking milk too rapidly and too much at a time Feeding small quantities and often, which is the natural plan, is the way to avoid trouble from this source. I Where several calves run together stanchions for feeding may contribute to less rapid drinking, for with stanchions the calf is not worrying about one of its neighbors getting part of his mess and is thus encouraged to drink more slowly.

SQUASH INJURED BY BORERS Whole Patches of Vegetable May Be Destroyed by Insect in Few Days -Plan of One Farmer. Some years the Hubbard squash vine is badly injured by the squash borer. The moth lays her eggs on the outside ot the vine, and in a few days the eggs hatch into small grubs. These immediately bore their way into the stalk where they live un seen and for a time unsuspected. For a while the vines grow well; then as thp borer continues feeding on the inside of the stalk, the vine withers and dies. Whole patches of squash may be destroyed by these borers in a few ??ays. In 1914 one farmer made tests of early and late planting, The early plantings were begun tn April and continued into May. Sweet oorn was used as a companion crop, with the early plantings to furnish shade for the squash vines, but every vine ex cept one was destroyed by the borers In all the early plantings. He made late plantings of seed from June 1 to July 20, which was the last planting of the season. In order to hasten the development ot the plants as an offset to late plant ing, separate hills were prepared. Holes were dug from eight to ton inches deep, which were filled with rich soil thoroughly mixed with chick en manure, but he left saucer-like depressions as an aid to watering the plants in dry weather. This plan proved very serviceable, as no rain fell during six weeks of midsummer. The plants had to be watered fre quently to keep them vigorous. Notwithstanding the drawbacks of late planting and a dry season, this crop, of Hubbards was among the best he had ever raised. Hardly a vine was attacked by the borers. The period of squash-moth flying was over before the plants were above growod. ONIONS LIKE COOL WEATHER Plant Will Stand Much Heat After Making Good Start-Will Not Keep Unless Properly Ripened. Onions grow best in relatively cool weather and require an abundance of moisture during the early stages of growth. However, they will stand con siderable heat after they have mada a good start, and ripen better If the weather is relatively dry at the time they mature. This makes them an Important crop in central and northern latitudes, where the weather of spring is cool and moist, and a dry period normally occurs in August or In. early Septem ber. However, the season must be sufficiently long for the onions to ma ture before the autumn rains set in. or they are likely never to ripen prop erly. Unless properly ripened, onions will not keep. For northern localities it is sometimes necessary to use only the earlier maturing varieties. The above statements refer to the growing of ripe onions. Green onions reach edible size in a comparatively short time, and caD be grown during the normally cool and moist weather of early spring in central and north ern latitudes. As a commercial crop, they are of minor importance com pared with ripe onions. SILAGE CARRIER IS USEFUL Labor-Saving Device Can Be Used to Great Advantage by Farmer When F zed ls Not Too Large. If you have put up a good strong silo and your feed yard is not too large, you will find the silage dis tributer illustrated herewith a very useful and labor-saving device. This overhead silage carrier is described in bulletin No. 145 issued from the New Idea in Silage Carriers. Nebraska experiment station. The arm must be well guyed and strong-' ly pivoted. The feed bunks are placed in the form of a semicircle so the silage may be dumped directly Into them from the carrier, as the arm is swung around. Either hay carrier or litter carrier track may be utilized for this purpose. FEEDING THE YOUNG POULTS Coarsely Ground Corn Mixed With Milk Makes One of Best Feeds for Young Fowls. One of the best feeds for young poults is coarsely ground corn mixed with either sweet or sour milk, or the corn might be baked in a cake and then moistened with milk before feed ing. One should determine as to whether he wishes to utie sweet or sour milk and then continue to use the kind de cided upon as it ls not advisable to change from one to the other. This moistened ground corn is gradual-? mixed wi'h com meal until they receive clear corn meal when they are about eight weeks old.
