I. carcasses of a hog which died with cholera is thrown out in the woods, or left unburied or unburned, buzzards, dogs, and other animals are attracted. The buzzards, after gorging themselves with the infected I inoaf on,l 41- ~ ? - J ? .iivHk, ??11vt getting me: germs on mcir feet ami bills, fly away to alight on uninfected premises, most probably in the hog pen or pasture. They drop the germs there and the hogs take it up. The dogs, after having eaten their full, take u bone home with them, probably passing right through the hog pasture on their 1 way back to the house, and in this way also, the germ is brough to un1 anfeeted premises. Other animals i might spread it in similar ways. Veterinarians learned about this by careful study and watching, and went to work to get laws {passed requiring the carcasses to be buried or burned, j South Carolina's law requires the car cass to be buried six feet deep, or to be burned, and .fixes a penalty of .$.*?.00 for each violation. In the classification of "other animals'' we should include man; because, a man walking around the farm of a nieghbor whose hogs have cholera and then com inn; back 1 n his own premises, can carry the germ just as easily as tin4 buzzard or the dog. You sec, .germs are not at all particular about what they ride. This particular germ seems to be a! mighty good rider too; he will go down stream for quite a distance in branches and creeks that drain infected premises; he will take the train with hogs that are being shipped, and stays right on the train after the hogs get off, making the car dangerous to other hogs' health until after it has been disinfected; and, he will come with hogs from infected premises to uninfected premises. This last is a very common way of spreading the disease, hut a way which need not be fwired if the new hogs are kept to themselves until their freedom from disease has been' established. There are other ways in which the disease is spread, but the 1 above are the most common. If care is taken by all the people in a com- i i niunity there need not be much loss from this disease. o Lax-Fos, A Mild, Effective Laxative & Liver Tonic Does Not Gripe nor Disturb the Stomach.

C.?The impetus given the live-stock industry in South Carolina by the organization of wo packing houses, and the establishment of cattle markets at different points in the State, should cause the man who keeps live-stock to look towards that part of his business with more interest and care. First, he should look towards improving the grade of his cattle or hogs by using a pure-bred sire. The day has already passed when lfTv premium is paid on high grade cattle for slaughter, and, as the market develops, which it is sure to do, this premium will become more pror.ounc , ed. Second, he should provide cheap food in plenty to carry his cattle until the marketing season at the lowest cost of production. Silage, corr stover, and pasturage are cheap foods, and can be used to a much laiger extent in the state than thev uio used at present. Bulletin No. IK of the Extension Division of South Carolina furnishes interesting anu valuable information about forage crops that can be gro\vit? in the State. Third, he should ."safeguard his stock against contagious and infectious flisPJIKOC Hrw. * ? W^ ^ 1 UUl'J J culosis, Black Leg a,ud other diseases may be carried to the premises by I careless hands, or by the farmer him-1 srlf. The loss of six or eight hogs, or j three or four hea^ of cattle through J these diseases may kill all the profit ! for the year where the amount of live-stock is small. The Vetrmar\ | Department of the state college is i ready and anxious to cooperate with ] the farmer in preventing these dis- j cases, and it will mean considerable; in dollars and cents to the state, and to the individual farmer, to have the. j diseases stamped out, or even well under control. Fourth, NOW is the time the farmer should act. A .pure-bred sire NOW will* give higher grade stock j fei market by the time the packing houses open .-a year or a year and a! half hence. Peas planted NOW will j give good forage for the cattle this winter. Caution used NOW will sav< the loss of hogs and cattle by disease. o "No leg no horse, no trunk no tr.?c.'

Peach Tree Borer. Between July 1st and 10th pull ii] th.'" earth around the-base of the peach tree to a height of 8 inches: take these mounds down Oct. 15. Tlu reason for the above recommendation is as follows: 1. The peach tree borer has foir life history stages:?(a) The egg? laid in the fall hatch into (b) worms: these worms when full grown come out of the ti'Oe into the ground and form the (e) pupa, or resting stage. This stage is passed about an inch from the tree and about an inch below the surface of the soil. From these pupa the (d) full grown, beautiful, clear-winged moths emerge, which lay the eggs for th.e next year's genoru i inn ?i *- 1 l imkiuiii a iici c ia umy une generation each year. If you mound too early many of the worms in the tree will work upward. They begin to come out int0 the soil July 1st, and continue to come out until about August 22nd. If you nr-ound th.e trees as above stated then the pupa has about 8 inches of soil over it, through which the moth cannot dig to come to the surface. The Keep Your Hogs Healthy.

ANTS VERT HARD TO GET RIO OF ' I I Simple Methods of Freeing the House of These Common Pests As long as household conditi ns are such as to attract ants, measures for getting rid of the insects will be of little value, says a new publication of the department, Farmers' Bulletin 740, by C. L. Marlatt. The first step j in freeing a house from these pests is, therefore, to clean up all food that may be scattered about and to keep | food supplies which may attract ants in ant proof metal containers, or in ' ice boxes. Cake, bread, sugar, meat' and similar substances are especially J likely to attract the insects. The use of baits, is not recommended in the bulletin already mentioned because of the danger that these will serve merely to draw more insects into the house and thus actually to increase the nuisance. Where it can be safely used, however, a sirup poisoned with arsenate of sdoa has been found effective. The formula for this sirup is 1 pound of sugar uisolved in a quart of water, to which should be added 125 grains of arsenate of soda. This mixture is boiled and trained and on cooling is used U moisten sponges which are placed where they can bo reached easily by the ants. The insects collect the % ... ' sirup and convey it to their nests, s that the whole colony is ultimately po'soned. Although this method has been foim effective, as has been said, it should be remembered that the arsenate of soda is poisonous to human beings and to animals as well as to ants, and that its use milt he safeguarded by the greatest precautions. \\ ncn the ants can be traced back to their nests and these are in accessable places, it is possible to destroy the colonic by injecting with an oil can or small syringe a little bisulphM | of carbon, kerosene, or gasoline into the ne;ts. All these substances, however, are inflammable, and precautions must be taken, therefore, against the danger of fire. Though the common garden or lawn ants which build their little crater nests around houses are dis tirct. species from the true house ants, they may find their way int? the house. Their colonics may be destroyed by drenching the nests with boiling water or injecting a smal' Mii!inf ittf r\ r *i ' >|u?uiiiti kj l ftciv.ifin1 Ul" COill Oil 1HI them.

Another method is to inject bisidphid of carbon into the nests, the quantity of the chemical depending upo?" the size of th' < nest. After the bisulphid of carbon has been injected, the cut a nee to th( nest should be closed by the foot in order to retain the chemical, which will then penetrate slow y ih rough the underground channel and kill the ants. Although its fumes are <lis- j agreeable, they are not prisonous to man and the higher animals. o FRl'lT. Clemson College.

But, even if these two imaginary armies have existed in fact, 1 have every confidence that my own soldiers will take care ol them, as they did in the time of Huerta, wheir 1 started without men and money and drove the dictator from power. You may remember also that Villa with his great army crumbled up and melted away before our attacks ilftil any other uprisings will be handled by me in a like manner. f v$ Troops a Hindrance "What is bothering us at the pros cut time is the presence of American troops on Mexican soil.
