AVOID HOG CHOLERA GERMS • Houses and Lots Should Be Arranged So That They May Be Cleaned and Disinfected Easily. . ^Prepared by lhe United State* Deport meat of Agriculture.) Among tlie suggestion.* made by the United States department of agricul ture to minimize the danger of in- i traducing hog cholera germs are the t following: Hog houses, lots, and pastures should be located away from streams and public highways, and the houses and lots should be arranged so that they may lie cleaned and disinfected readily. They should be exposed as far as possible to sunlight, which is the cheapest and one of the beet disin fectants. Hog lots should not be used for yarding wagon* and farm imple ment* and should not be entered with team and wagon, particularly when loading stock for shipment to market. As further precaution no one slioud be allowed to enter hog I there is ««surer ce that h< their carry infection. I'armen* hel|' should disinfect their fore entering hog lots after retiirniu from public yards, sides, i nd neigh boring farms.

Other causes—the waste of war, under-produc tion, credit inflation—have added dollars to the cost of the necessities of life, while freight charges have added only cents. % A suit of clothing that sold for $.. . the war was carried 2,265 miles by rail from Chicago to Los Angeles for 1656 cents. Now the freight charge is 22 cents and the suit sells for $50. z The coot of the suit hen increased 20 dollars.

The average Charge for hauling a ton of freight a mile is less than a cent. A given unit of any commodity will buy more transportation now than it ever did before in the history ofthe country.

The $10 pair of shoes that used to sell for $5 goes from the New England factory to the Florida dealer for a freight charge of 5& cents -only one cent more than the pre-war rate.
