CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Resume of Important Events Presented in Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. Japan and Russia have settled all claims and counter claims growing out of the war. It is estimated that burglars have secured 1500.000 in New York City since June 1. The Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, Wis., has been sued for slander by a judge of the Circuit court. Julius Kruttschnitt predicts chaos on Harriman lines if demands of rail way emloyes are granted. Many parties of strikebreakers are being quietly hurried West, presum ably to operate the Harriman lines in case of a strike. A hurricane and high tide combined at Charleston., S. C., caused the death of five persons and immense property damage. Fire destroyed the buildings of the Great Northern mine, in the Blue River district of Oregon, and started a disastrous forest fire. Government Food Expert Wiley has barred green oranges from market, and California growers fear to ship their fruit East, lest it be confiscated. SERUM CURES HOGS. VICE PRESIDENT OF HARRIMAN SYSTEM. WHO IS HASTEN ING WESTWARD FOR CONFERENCE WITH WORKMEN. California Professor Solves Problem of Curing Cholera. Berkeley. Cal.—Results of experi ments conducted by the bureau of animal industry of the State Agricul tural Experiment station here, under the direction of Dr. C. M. Haring, with a view to making the raising of pork a profitable industry in this state has been officially announced by Direc tor Wickaon, of the station here. The tests were conducted following an appropriation of $16,000 by the state legislature, starting last June, following a report from the state vet erinarian. declaring that a very small part of the pork consumed in this state was raised locally. Following a statement that the industry was un profitable mainly because of heavy losses through cholera, an appropria tion was made to conduct tests in se curing a serum. The report of results of the experiments was as follows: “Careful and persistent attention to preventive measures, such as quaran tine, disinfection, proper feeding, etc., on the part of the farmers gener ally would no doubt result in material reduction in the yearly losses from hog cholera. The importance of ob serving these precautions cannot be overestimated. “However, as it is regarded as im practicable to enforce a general and completely effective quarantine, the bureau of animal industry has endeav ored for years to find a medicine or serum which could be used for pre venting hog cholera, or for curing hogs sick of that disease. “It is a well-known fact that hogs which have recovered from hog chol era are thereafter immune from the disease. The experiment of the bu reau of animal industry resulted in the discovery that when such immunes are injected with the blood from a sick hog, ’the immune is not made sick, but as a result of this infection its blood acquires the power to protect other hogs from hog cholera. It is now entirely possibleRto protect hogs if they are treated with serum from a properly-treated immune. In the tests practically 2,000 hogs, located on 47 separate farms, were treated. The problem has finally been solved.” Following orders from the state au thorities, the new serum used as a re sult of the experiments is to be sold by the board of regents of the univer sity, as fast as it is made up. to farm ers in several parts of the state. Ac cording to Professor Wickson, the serum is to be sold at cost, a tempor ary price having been set at 2J cents a cubic centimeter. OREGON HOPS BEST.
