REDUCE THE CHOLERA AND INCREASE PORK Proper methods by Farmers Will .Prevent Large Loss of Meat V WORK OF COUNTY AGENTS IS GREAT Hog Cholera is Preventable to a Great Extent at This * Time. ) cholera killed enough animals last year to have fed 1,000,000 soldiers a meat mtion for five and onef half months; This loss is unnecessary for hog choiera can be prevented to r large extent, as has been demonstrated by county agents working through the United States Department of Agriculture and State agricultural colleges >n the Northern and Wostern States. Hog-cholera pvevontion and control n l'/\ l\ru<L'ihl/t f 1\ imi/i/ii?\ii4iAvi ' i? o tM |/uoi-Muii; m vavrmauuii, IU*3~ and the quarantine of inlVted herds. The local conditions laigely determine the methods of procedure by the agents. They work v ith groups of fanners, teaching them how to vaccinate their hogs, con fine and quarantine their herds, and disinfect their premises. The mon effective campaigns, perhaps, have followed the uniting of the farmers into organizations by the county ager.f;s. Frequently the* arc farm bureaus, with committeemen in each community. This is considered v.n ideal organization to promote educational work relative to cholera. Cholera-control clubs are very effective when first organized and at work, but when cholera disappears from the c.ount>\ the cVganization tends to disintegrate. On the other hand the farm bureau is constantly eng-aged on other lines and is ever ready to handle cholera when it appe;vrs. I/Cnrl Instruments to Farmu's. The work of the county ag?yits is often supplemented by til? services of ciiii/Mtiliof u fvruM o ir 111 li 1 rvl I ^ (roi 0|/(- V4U44.I vo I ( Vlil H^iivutvutui and the United States Department of r Agriculture. la a number of States 4. farm bureaus and cholera-control clubs have purchased instruments to lend to the farmers and have stored supplies of scrum to have it immediately available when needed and to lessen the cost of vaccination. Reports to the department show approximately 2,959,222 hogs killed by cholera for the year ending March SJ, 1917. These hogs would have made approximately 295,922,200 pounds of pork which would have furnished a meat ration for an army of a million men for 109 days. Reports of the agents also show that in counties and communities where campaigns were undertaken and the suggested program followed, the 1 : from hog cholera was vevy materially reduced. County agents in nine < f the Northern and Western States report a saving- of $92,547 in 1910, bioinrht about hv the vaccination of hogs. From reports of 14?? agents, showing a vaccination of 210,I 3.?>7 hogs, it is estimated that there was a saving of $1,848,802 as compared with the deaths that would have been probable without vaceinaf tion. This saving does not include thousands of hogs that have escaped the disease by preventive measures adopted on the recommendations ot county agents. Personal Instruction Given. In many counties the agents instruct the farmers personally how tr vaccinate hogs, quarantine herds, an. c-eaYi up and disinfect their premises, l or instance, in Scott County, Mo. i the agent lends the farm bureau's instruments to individual farmers. Hvaccinates several hogs fo? the farm. i vr and then has thp farmer vaccinal* n number under his direction, Trv: farmer vaccinates the other hog: m himself and returns the instrument; ? *1* ^ Vvii !?/>#* ?i rvf I'! ?a Qftvnm S< m lilt; 1(41111 Wll I \ (411 4/1 11V.V) 1.14, 1 ((III I . sold by tho bureau to they-.farmers a cost. In this county 85 per cent o the 1,787 hogs vaccinated under the direction of the agents' w(ire saved Before county agent work was under taken tho.'e, hog vaccinaiton for chol era was pilactieally unknown. in Seward County, Neb.r., the farn h^ eau also lends instruments fo vdtcination to farmers and sells sc rum at cost. In Allen County, In. thorough publicity is given the pres ence of hog cholera in a neighbor hood In ordfcr to stimulate interest ii a public meeting called immediatel; in the community The county agen gives an illustrated talk on the na turo, prevention, and eradication o I ? I i r I m i ' ' i ' T "JE cholera, presenting it as a community problem and perfecting an organization which in every1 instance has prevented spread from the first outbreak. Spread of Diaease Prevented. rrhe special value of such organizations is that the disease is caught in the beginning 'and eliminated before it has had time to infect all hogs in a herd or spread to neighboring herds. The agent in Kingsbury County, S. Dak., reports that last year 16 different outbreaks occurred, with a loss of 154 head, whereas in 1915, 1,060 head were lost, from cholera. In this county the community organization plan wu> followed. In Johnson County, Ind., where community meetings were hold, the result, has far exceeded the county agent's expectations according to liis report. Farmers cooperated heartily in preventing the spread of the disease, farms were vigorously disinfected, hogs were vac einated early, neighbors were notified of outbreaks in order that they might protect their own herds, and in consequence their? have been less than .SO cases of cholera in the counts this year, and in no instahce has the disease gotten beyond control. _o NOTICE OF SALE.

I {Norway, Uhnstiania Daring Inst of this year Norway has the same experience of German methods as the United States went through before it entered the war, spies working everywhere under the direction of espionage centres in the neighboring countries, Sweden and Denmark. Thanks to the work of the police, especially in Christiania, many of them have boon caught, some sent to jail and others expelled from the country. Several mysterious fires in great industrial plants and storage houses have aroused a country wide suspicion against every German, Swede and Sinn. During the last half of the year there have been twenty one such 1'iVes here, two or three occuring together. The great store of provisions in Tiondjem belonging to the British importing Agency was burner! with a loss of several million dollars. It proved to be of incendiary' origin. Two canning plants witn great experts for Great Britain worn binned, and a condensed milk plant with exclusive export tradd to Kngland was destroyed with more than a million cans ready for shipment. Three planing mills in different parts of the country were burned. Their output was being used for box i es and crates for export.. The other day another planing mill in the vi| einity o'f the government'^ fire arm ? manufactory at Kongsherg was burned during the night and! while attention was- directed toward this fire a burglar was detected in the fir? arm factory.. The press states that (ierman plotters in his case tried to blow up thev government factory. Foreigner's- have sought and in sunc eases obtained employment at the government munition, plant, and later have been discovered to be German. citihans, some of them even officers in the German army.. The pness is warning the people lo look.fbr. a criminal spy in every Clei^man in> the country.
