Dr. L. L. LewlB, of Oklahoma, points
out that a great many farmers when
they obtain a remedy for hog cholera
dispense with all precautionary meas
ures and rely upon the cure for their
protection. Dr. Lewis points out that
tliis method is folly and that strenu
ous precautionary measures should be
kept up during any course of treat
ment. He says: "Hog cholera Is an
infectious disease and may be carried
in a number of ways from infected
pens to hogs that are healthy. Run
ning water is a very active means of
spreading the disease. Pens contain
ing diseased hogs and located along
streams make the water dangerous
for all other hogs below them. Out
breaks of cholera can often be fol
lowed considerable distances along
water courses. The Infection may al
so be carried by the clothing, wagons,
crates, or, in fact, by almost all means
of communication between farms."
The handling of the pigs intended
for breeders should be entirely differ
ent from those Intended for market.
They should be pushed for rapid
growth, but must be fed for a growth
of frame and bone; not fattened on
corn, but expanded by a feed rich in
protein. ' At six, eight or ten months
of age, they should show more length
if body and more scale than market
hogs, and be smooth and well covered,
but not so fat as for market This can
be very easily done by feeding a mixed
grain ration, with ten per cent, of
tankage or ten per cent, of oil meal.
Use corn, barley and oats ground to
gether, mixed thickly with water, and
fed at once while sweet. It Is much
better to mix three pounds of milk to
one pound of grain. It one has no milk
the next best feed is ten per cent, of
tankage. If one has the corn and does
not want to buy the mill feeds, he can
use 80 per cent, of corn and 20 per
cent, of tankage and have a well-balanced
ration.

Plants are really ninlature pump
ing stations and arts constantly busy
pumping the land dry of its moisture.
They work through the power of cap
illary attraction. This is the same
power that draws oil up through the
lamp wick and that makes the towel
absorb water. Every grass plant, ev
ery wild flower and weed, all nbrubs,
bushes and vines and all t ees are
steadily at work during the summer
and more or less at other seasons
pumping up the water day and
night from the ground In which
they grow. , Some of this water Is
used by the plants themselves for
their growing needs, yet much of It
Is allowed to pour out of a thousand
little spouts from each plant, which
Instead of falling back upon the soil
to be reabsorbed is transformed into
a very thin water vapor and floats
away In the air to be prlcipltated at
some other time and in some other
plaoe. .' All of this pumping is invis
ible to our gross vision, but the
fimount of water lifted by wild and
cultivated plants over the area of a
single county of a single state In one
day amounts to thousands of tons of

Plant roots find a feeding ground at

Don't use blinders, for these relics
of barbarism there is no possible ex

and decidedly hurtful to the best serv

from the natural beauty of the horse
and prevent the full use of the eye
sight that Nature endowed him with.
Instead of acting as a preventive from
fright at the sight of strange objects,
they render him suspicious of many
ordinary things coming within range
of his obstructed view, thereby mak
ing him unnecessarily nervous and
over excitable if he is a creature of
mettle. Man has no right to deprive
the horse of one of his keenest senses
through the use of the punishing

The wheat straw infested with Hes
sian fly breaks over just above the
joint, which, while it varies consider
ably in location, is usually a relative

the grower will carefully pull the leaf
away from the stalk v.iere It is
broken over he will find lying In a
little dent lengthwise in the straw an
oval, dark-brown seedlike body one-
fourth of an inch or less long. This
is the "flaxseed" stage of Hessian fly.
and is sometimes improperly spoken
of as the "eggs" of the fly. Some
times, through careless handling or
other causes, the "flaxseed" will be
gone over and only the little dent In
the straw left as evidence of its for
mer presence. If the grower does
not find the "flaxseed" in the first ex
amined he should continue to examine
broken straws until he does find it, or
until he Is convinced that the fly did
not do the work.
Cow testing associations are doing
good work in Wisconsin, and the sys
tem might profitably be tried in
other dairying sections. These as
sociations are -of two kinds, the "$1 a
cow plan" and the "50 cents a cow
plan." In the former the Dairymen's
association furnishes a man to do the
work of weighing and testing the
milk of the individual cows In the
herd at an expense of $1 a cow for
the year. There are generally 26
members in each association, so that
tests can be made once a month on
each farm. Under' the second plan
the farmers themselves weigh and
sample the milk from their cows for
one day each month and bring the
samples to their creamery or cheese
factory, where they are tested by the
operator at an expense of 50 cents
a year a cow. The associations in
Wisconsin at present are generally
organized on the 50-cent plan and are
all under the supervision of the State
Dairymen's association. These asso
ciations originated in Sweden about
18 years ago and gradually spread
throughout the Scandinavian and
north European countries. Denmark
alone now has 480 associations, and
the net profits of Danish dairy farm
era have been increased over 75 per
cent, and in some cases more than

THE WHITE STEAMER WHICH
AS FUEL
The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car vas at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver of the White to
have even tightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Plnkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

MADE A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF KEROSENE
ON THE RECENT 2630-MILE GLIDDEN TOUR.
The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero
sene, or 'coal oil,' aa fuel Instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in Its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso
line. Secondly, the new fuel . was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved td be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent, more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv
alry among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of com
fort The only adjustments or re
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri
cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 2000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score." s
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars
both the (2000-model and the
$4000-model exceed their most san

the combination of steam the pow
er which everyone understands and
has confidence in with kerosene
the fuel which everyone has on band
and can handle without any danger
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo
