Hog cholera 1# now prevalent thru
ou* tho entire Htato and numerous
reOuoMU for assistance in th con'
. trol of this disease have boon re
ceived from practically every coun
ty, Owing to tho largo number of
these requests, it in absolutely Im
oosslblo for this office to immedi
ately Hend our veterinarians, but
we will give these requests atten
tion In tho order received. When
this is Impractical, they Win bo g lv
en attention in tho order of impor
tance or according to location.
To enable owner* to prevent tho
Introduction of this disease into
their herd* and to atfslpt In its con
trol tho following information is
given:
Hog cholera Im a contagious dis
ease caused by germs that aro pre
sent In tho blood tissues and ex
cretions of hogs affected with chol
era. Unless these germs aro car
ried from sick hogs or Infected
premises, tho disease will not
spread. Tho following aro a fow
of the moHt common ways by which
this disease is scattered:
IJy failure to properly dispose of
carcasses of dead hogs. Buzz tV'lu,
dogn, etc., will carry infection. J'u
ry deeply or burn all car:.n?03.
By persons walking thru yards
where sick hogs aro kept, the In
fection then being carried on
shoes or clothing to yardH where
healthy hogs aro confined. Keep
visitors* away from your hogs. I)o
not go or allow any of your help
to go on premises whero ihere are
sick hogB.
By streams receiving drainage
from Infected premises. If Btreams
running thru your lots aro drailn
Ing iiifected premises, move hogB
to other lotB.
By buying hogs from 7 Herds
whore tho dlseaso exists or from
public Htock yards. Do not buy
hogs unless you know they come
from healthy herds. Hog cars and
stock yards are always tq bo con
sidered Infectious.
Itemomber tTVKt hog cholera Is us
ually contracted thru the mouth
and dlgesttvo tract and that the
discharges from a hog affected In
very Infectious.
Healthy herd* should bf taken
care of by persons why have not
been whore the disease exibts and
no one el*" should bo allowed to
Ko near the healthy herd. <(vj C
In herds where the dlseaae ha*
alraedy appeared the healthy hoga
should be moved to new lots and
peiiH and again moved if any hogs
are later -taken nick, Disinfect the
pemi and Jotn that have been occu
pied by nick h-OgH. I'low the lots
and disinfect pens, troughs, et^.,
j with :t per cent solution of com>
I pound solution of croKol or with
'strong solution of other good dis
infectant which your druggist can
furnish.
Treatment is usoIohb and money
spent for drugs had better bo ex
pended for disinfectants. While we
havo no cure for this disease, we
have a sure preventive in hog
cholera serum, prepared according
to the method originated by Doctors
I)orsey and Nlles of the U. 8. De
partment of Agriculture. This se
rum is now being prepared by this
division and is being used by our
veterinarians in controlling out
breaks of this dlseaHO. As pre
viously stated, this nerum ylll pro
tect hogs from cholera, but will uot
cure those that have already con-i
traded the . disease. As w? cannot
supply mor/> serum than needed by
tjhe veterinarians of this Division
in thoir work thruout the State, it
will be useless for veterinarians or
others to apply for serum.

The Work Himself.
Jetmore, Kan Rudolph Myera,
the man who it* building a railroad
west from this city all by himself,
has purchased moro right of way
.Hi.i iH pushing his Mt& de wwutwunl
Myers" objective is Garden City, 64
miles southwest of Jetmore. Al
ready he ban graded more than four
miles of the roadbed, moat of
which required heavy filling; He
expects to build at leant 10 miles
the coming year, most of the right
of way being ovei; comparatively
love allnd.
MyerH never haw taken anybody
into hie confidence since he began
work on his grade. He bait used
only hie own money and his own
labor, but he appears to have all
the money he need*. He never has
employed any help, doing alt the
grading himself with a four .mule
team and a wheeled scraper. Nat
urally, the people hereabout are
dying with curiosity, but Myers nev
er haa given them the slightest Idea
of his plans. All he haa ever said
is that he Is grading a railroad to
Garden City.
This town lu on a branch of the
Santa Fe running from Lamed. The
people of the town have hoped for
years that the branch would be ex
tended along the main line connec
tion at Garden City, and for that
reason they have always encourag
ed Myers, but he has always refus
ed any financial aid. Whether he
hopes to build the road himself, or
whether he Intends to sell right
of way, he has never told. Never
theless, If the Santa Fe ever builds
from Jetmore to Garden City, My
ers' right of way 1? there, holding
the keye to the situation.
Myers Is fifty years old, a Kan
Ban born. H6 came to Jetmore 4
years ago, and about three years
ago began acquiring the right - of
way for his road, his first purchase
being thirty acres, for Which he
paid J|30 an acre. There was one
hill on this right of way, 50 feet
in height, gthru which Myers . has
cut, using the earth excavated to
make a fill over ""a ravine ?ome 40
feet deep. For the remainder of
the distance there are few hlljs or
ravines and Myers expects to grade
at least ten miles a year.

"Stonewall" Jackhoii was burn iu
W??t Virglula. He ,wi? one uf our
greatest general* of the war be
' twe?n the States. Some people nay
| that.' If be had lived tbe Confedera
| c y would have beaten. He wow ev~
I ery real battle he ever fought,
?Wtouewal!" Jack won wkm noble,
kind und true. He was an older In
the 1'resbyterhin church. He and
Lee were good friends. I^ee said
i Unit fur tbe Hake of tbe confedera
cy u would have betfn better ?fer
him to have been killed than Jack
son. lie waa loyed by every one'
who knew him. In the battle uf Mu
' iiUHHUb he stood up before all the
1 guns and cannun ballB and beheld
; the Federal rank. den. Harnard
liee, of Suuth Carullna, said, "Look
al Jackson (standing like a stone
I wall." He was ever afterwards
; called "Stunewall" Jacksun.
I It is Httld that when Jacksun was
nick that his horse would stick his
head in his window and when Jack
Hon died he laid down and died too.
One time during the war between
the States eome men sent Jacknon
and bin men several barrel* pi whl?
key. When Jackson heard about It,
he nent neven or .eight men and
knocked the bottoms uut uf them.
"Stonewall" Jackson waa tbe most
'ambit Ioub man In tbe'Southei?rCon
federacy. Every time there waii
going to be a battle Jackson would
pray a 16ng time. One time his ser
vant naid, "It's gwlne ter be a
great fight tormorrow," Somebody
anked him how did he know. He
naid, "Because I heard Marse Tom
praytn' all las' night."
lir three weeks Jackson fought 4
battles and captured 4,000 prison
ers and several millions dollars of
stores, fcje never allowed his sol
diers to swear and he often had
prayer-meeting In the camp.
As "Stonewall" Jacksun and a
party uf ufflcers were returning
frum the. battlefield they were mis
taken fur Federal soldiers and
Jacksop was wounded by his own
men. He ' died a few days after
wards. It Is doubtful if America
ever had a purer man than "Stone
wall" Jackson. His last words
were, "Let us cross over the river,
and rest lender the shade of the
trees." Margaret Richards.
