This looks small, but it is five to six times 8 ' the amount in 100 pounds of oak '"l or other hard wood, so it is easy ye; to see that the value of the ashes .)() of corn cobs is very much greater . than that of the ashes of hard nv wood. Of course if the cobs are er;i burned you will have the potash tON and phosphpric acid that is in them in a very readily available 4 n< shape. But you will lose the or- I'1 ganic matter producing uitrogen am in the slow decay in the soil. Wo believe in returning all vegetable waste from the farm to the soil eni to decay therein, and would not itif make any exception of the corn SOI cobs. Let them go into the manure pile and soak up plant food that might be wasted. They will wa fc decay in the soil and bo of use in c|1( m the etui than if burned.

Hitting, of Pur e University, talk oh this sub* I. lie is :i careful, ! houpiil !ui in, whose wop Is should earr\ ight. Ho was appointed by the vernor to investigate this so!) t in every possible way, and 'years lius been doing his ut>s|. Kvcry year, when ! in ( n. 1 it mi anxious to hear his u'lusions. Here i< the sub lire ol' what ho says now : k,Ininii lost last year ( lstni) nearly .000,000 worth of hoys. 1'his s about onc-i|uarter of the entiorop. Two-thirds of this great s might have been prevented ite easily. llog cholera is irh like typhoid lever in lit: in beings. Both are filth disies. Without tilth you need I fear cholera very much. And am fully of the opinion now it hog cholera is usnaly given hogs through the water they ve, the same as typhoid fever liven to human beings. Carestudy of results in Indiana for irs leaves no doubt, on this int. The towns lying along the ers and streams had the choli much worse. The next tier of vns back had decidedly less, il tho third tiers much less yet. a single instance this would lount to nothing, but when we ne to take all the towns and avige it up the results are slrikand leave no room for readable doubt. Again, the year i?7 was partly dry. While it s wet early in the season, the >lera raged. When the ponds .1 creeks and wallowing places ed up, it almost ceased. When ' ruins canto in the Fall il boil a^ain, but it was too lato to much damage ami millions of liars were saved our farmers, e lesson to l>e learned is to e the pins and hogs only pure sh well and spring water. Keep m from river or creek or pond hole or wallow. Some have d to me : fc\Vo have no stream creek on our place. < >ur hogs re pure water and still we have cholera.' Well, of course, re are instances of lliis kind it we cannot account for, l>ut y often when I have visited si* same farms I have found hv ; utii! hole-; or watering ices as wallows, (iet rid of rythinp ot this kind. keep ir pitrs on dry, clean land en *ly, with pure, tresh water, ashine and dryness are death perms.

'ho question was asked I'rof. ting as to the value of medios for hog cholera. He replied: have little faith in them, but if i don't give too much your ; may possibly get well. In stance, ho continued: "We 'have used nearly two tons ofj< | medicine in our experiments. We j : have tested most oF tlio !->8 rem- ?. 'edies that are on sale in the t ! State, at lar;*e expense.

Olten the sellers! t are entirely honest, however, i ! Some simple remedy seems, to do i pood in two or three cases, per- j ! hups,and then fail in others. You c i will do well to heed tho careful l j opinion of the highest disinter- j ested authority in Indiana, particularly as it is founded on aim- j i pie common sense. If dry weather t in ISO? saved 700.000 hogs from cholera, why not make the con- K ditions next year, if it is wet, as , nearly as-they were this past sea- , son?
