Farmer May Avoid, to Large Extent, Decimation of His Herd by Epi zootics Sanitary Preventive Measures Are Favored. The greatest drawbacks to the hog Industry that breeders in this country have to contend with are the losses through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and the infestation of the animals, espe cially young pigs, by parasites. Were It not for the fecundity of swine their profitable production In the presence of these serious diseases would be out of the question. In the following re marks on sanitation no attempt is made to go into the details of the dis eases affecting hogs or their treat ment. The object is merely to call at tention to the simple measures which may be used by any farmer to avoid, to a large extent, the decimation of his herd by epizootics. Cleanliness and rational, methods of management are relied upon by thousands of farm ers to keep their herds In health and vigor. They are the marks of the good farmer and successful hog breeder. Hog cholera nnd swine plague, both highly fatal diseases characterized by fever and heavy mortality, are so very similar that tho breeder may regard them as Identical so far as his prac tical management of the herd Is con cerned. Positive differentiation be tween the two diseases can only be made by the most careful bacteriolog ical tests, and by employing the as sistance offered by a fully equipped laboratory. However, sunltnry pre- ventive methods which are found bene- 1 flcial with one of these diseases will prove equally efficacious with the other. There are a few fundamental facts which the breeder must remember If he Is to avoid losses through hog chol era or swine plague. The first Is that they ure specific diseases caused by germs, and the contagion cannot be spread from ono animal to another or from one herd to another except through the agency of these minute or ganisms. They may be carried In n multitude of ways by the hogs them selves, on the clothing of persons, on vehicles, In feed, by birds, dogs, and other animals, or by streams. The breeding or feed of a hog cannot cause either disease, although bad methods may so weaken Ihe constitution nnd vi tality that the animal becomes more susceptible to them than would other wise be tho case. Since these dis eases can only arise from the pres ence of these specific causative agents, It can readily be seen that dentition and tho presence of supernumerary teeth or black tusks cannot, as has been suggested by many, play any part In their development. A second fact to be borne In mind Is that dis eases caused by germs may be best prevented or controlled by thorough disinfection and scrupulous cleanli ness. Tuberculosis Increasing. Tuberculosis Is rapidly Increasing among hogs In the United States, and every owner of swine should be on his guard against the Introduction of this serious malady upon his premises. Unlike hog cholera this disease Is In cldlous In its attack nnd slow In Its de velopment, so that It may he present for months In a herd without exciting tho least suspicion of the owner, nnd Will be revealed to hlnl only at the time of slaughter. Until recent years tuberculosis has been looked upon as of uncommon occurrence and only of Importance from n meat-inspection Standpoint; but today It must be rec ognized ns a serious menace to the owner of hogs, and especially to the one who allows his hogs to run with cattle that have not been proved to be free of tuberculosis, or who feeds them upon nonsterlllzed products as part of their ration. As tuberculosis of hogs Is chiefly contracted through eat ing Infected feed, the Importance of (ids statement Is obvious. Tuberculosis Of hogs Is closely as sociated with the same disease In cat tle, the reason being apparent when one considers the close relations of these two species of animals upon nearly every farm. Tuberculous cat tle may scatter great numbers of tu bercle bacilli with their excrement; cows that an tuberculous may pro duce contaminated milk that Is sub sequently fed to pigs; and carcasses of cattle that have died from tuber culosis are sometimes eaten by hogs. Any of these conditions tuake the In fection with tuberculosis of the hogs concerned a very easy matter. Sources of Infection. The feeding of bogs upon creamery refuse Is also a very frequent source of Infection. In this way the milk of a single cow with a tuberculous ud der, If sent to a public creamery, may spread the disease to a number of hogs, and may also Infect many farms that have never previously been con taminated with tuberculosis. An equally dangerous sourco of In fection Is likewise observed In the methods which obtain among some of the small country slaughter houses. It Is not unusual for these houses to get rid of their blood, Intestines, vis cera, and other Inedible parti by feed ing them to hogs, a herd of which Is usually kept on the premises. This custom Is pregnant with danger and serves to perpetuate the Infection prin ciple of various contagious and para sitic diseases, particularly tuberculo sis. Hogs are also susceptible to tuber culous Infection from affected per sons' and poultry, but these sources are undoubtedly of far less moment to tho hog owner than those existing In a herd of tuberculous cattle. Intestinal worms, lung worms, nnd skin parasites also levy a burdensome tax upon the profits of hog raising. Absolute cleanliness will be found val uable In preventing and controlling these parasitic troubles, as well as the more serious diseases hog cholera and tuberculosis. Prevention of Disease. In dealing with the diseases of hogs, preventive measures must be most re lied upon. The animals must be given dry and well-ventllated quarters, which must be kept clean. Contrary to com mon belief, hogs have some habits which raise them above other domes tic animals from the standpoint of cleanliness. For example, unless compelled to do so, a hog will not sleep In its own filth. If a part of the floor of the pen is raised and kept well bedded with straw, while the rest is not, all excrement will be left on the unbedded portion of the floor and the bed Itself will be always clean. In addition to cleanliness close at tention should be given to the feed, so that nothing mny be fed that will con vey the germs of disease, especially tuberculosis, to the herd. If the hogs are fed milk In any form ob tained from cows kept upon the same farm, the cows should be subjected to the tuberculin test. If they run with the dairy cattle of the farm a tubercu lin test of all the cattle is none the less desirable. Animals dead from any disease should not be fed to the hogs until the meat has been made safe by cooking. Skim milk or refuse from a public creamery should not be fed to hogs until It has been thorough ly sterilized. Feeding nnd drinking places should be clean and the water supply pure. Unless the origin Is known to be un eontamlnated and there has been no possibility of infection during its course, hogs should not be allowed ac cess to any strenm. Wallows should he drained out nnd kept filled up as much as possible. At least once a month the quarters should be disin fected with Hlr-slaked lime or a five per cent solution of crude carbolic Cholera Thrives in Surroundings Such as These. acid. These precautions will be found valuable aids in the destruction of the various animal parasites, as well as a protection from some more serious troubles. Advantage of Isolated Hog Houses. The advantage of Isolated hog houses, each accommodating a few hogs, rather than one large piggery for the entire herd, has been referred to previously. In districts where cholera Is prevalent these are undoubt edly the best shelters. They make It more difficult to carry contagion to nil animals In tho herd, nnd the destruc tion of one of them In case of an out break does not entail a great expense. An added advantage Is that they may be moved from place to place as need ed. While more work Is necessary In feeding, the convenience and safety from their use more than offset this disadvantage. Danger In Inbreeding. While Inbreeding Is the surest and quickest means to fix type, it should be resorted to with the greatest care. The value of the system Is that It enables the breeder to Intensify desirable char acteristics In a herd and makes lm provement possible In a shorter time than where selection alone Is used. It stands to reason that If desirable characteristic! can be Intensified, the same will be true of undesirable ones. Much of the disaster which seems to have followed Inbreeding has probably been due to the fact that this point was overlooked or given only slight Importance, and thus loss of vitality nnd constitution and susceptibility to disease have followed. Therefore If the young breeder contemplates In breeding, he should avoid matlngs that tend to unite similar defects. Not only should care ho taken to prevent this In the animals mated, but there should be no chance of bad effects due to the Inheritance of undesirable character-' lstlcs, from parents and other ances tors. Some of the grentest work ever dono In hog breeding has been based on these principle It's Grandmother's Recipe Restore Color, Gloss and Attractiveness. to Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streak ed or gray.

Investigators Propose Remedies for Evils Which Directly Affect the Prlcet Received by the Farmers. The farmer has a direct interest in the efficiency of the marketing organ ization in cities, according to officials of Uncle Sam's department of agricul ture, since lack of efficiency may be reflected In the poor prices he receives for his products. $ Sooner or later, It is argued, the great majority of the perishable prod ucts raised on the farm for sale finds Its way to the cities for distribution, and, whether it passes from the owner- shin of the fnrmer hefore or after reaching such centers, the sales" are usually based on city quoted prices. Many farm products, especially per lshables, are consigned to city commis sion merchants to be sold for what they will bring, the prices received In such cases being directly dependent on their city market value. Prices based on these values are paid also when such products are sold by the producer dlreetly to wholesalers or Jobbers aft er shipment to city trading centers. Even the products which the farmer sells at the nearest railroad station are bought largely for consumption In cities and so are paid for, In most cases, at prices which are dependent on those prevailing In city markets The city, therefore, through the opera tlon of city demand in relation to supply, largely determines the prices which the farmer receives for his per Ishable products. Study Distribution System. The office of markets and rural or ganization of the department has taken up as one of Its important studies city marketing and distribution. Through this project the aim of the office has been to study marketing conditions In various cities ;' to determine as accu rately as possible the sources of loss and waste In city marketing and the methods by which such losses nnd wastes may be eliminated; to develop general plans for efficient marketing facilities of various kinds for cities and to aid by specific suggestions Buch cities as may seek assistance in lm proving their marketing conditions The general fault, it has been found Is the existence of numerous terminals separated from each other and from the wholesale district. In some cases it was found that there are as many as a score of separate terminals ex lstlng in a city. Shipments for a given dealer may arrive at a number of these terminals on the same day, necessitat lng much more costly cartage or the employment of many more salesmen than would be necessary If but a single terminal for perishables existed, and the wholesale dealer has his store lo cated conveniently to it. Every extra handling, every square of extra cart age and every additional salary paid increases the labor cost of marketing, which must come out of the margin be tween the producer's selling price and the consumer's buying price. Separate Terminal Proposed The aggregate losses and additions to marketing costs, due to Inefficient terminal facilities, are so great in the average large city that market special ists believe it would be a feasible plan In many Instances for the communities to promote and finance a separate ter minal for perishables which would be connected with all railroads. The studies that have been made of the various kinds of market Institu tions have enabled the office of mar kets and rural organizations to offer an advisory service to cities, truck growers and produce dealers' organ izations, which has proved very help ful. It Is said that this service has been carried on so far In some 25 or more cities, and the officials think that the widespread demand for other places Is an Indication of the general Interest In marketing questions.

Uncle Sam added new gold to hl total wealth during 1915 to the amount of $08,891,000, which Is almost a rec ord, and a gain of $4,398,800 over 1914. If we add to this the gold ore mined, but not smelted yet, the total passes $100,000,000 every penny of It new wealth. Says the joint report of geological survey and the bureau of the mint: "An Increase in the yield of gold Is indicated by the mine returns from every important gold-mining state, and n decrease is reported from Wash ington, while the output of Idaho re mains the same. "The preliminary estimates indicate an output of 67,485,600 fine ounces of silver, valued at $34,417,050. Although next to the record output of 1914 in quantity, the value, based on the low average price of 51 cents per fine ounce for 1915 the lowest In the history of the Industry was considerably below the values for 1914 and many previous years, when production was smaller but prices ruled higher. "Increases in the mine production of sliver were especially notable In Montana, Utah nnd Arizona, and were considerable in Idaho, Alaska, New Mexico and Texas ; but large decreases were reported from Colorado and from Nevada following similar decreases In 1914."
