The impression that hog cholera Is

fore many years through the use of an-
tl-hog cholera seruai has been spread
throughout the country, but there la
little ground for auch u belief, suys the
United Stutes Department of Agricul­
ture.
The serum treatment, when
properly given, will protect hogs
against the disease, but It dues not go
to the source und eliminate the germs
from the country, which would be nec­
essary If hog cholera is to become a
thing of the past. It might be possible
to ellmlnute the disease If every hog
In the United States could be kept im

measure would be Impractical, If nol
impossible.
Hog cholera Is of varying preva
lence, both as to the time of the year
and as to periods of several years. In
the fall—October and November—
there Is more of this disease than In
the other months. The number of
hogs per thousand affected by It
changes greatly from year to year,
also. There have been years, such as
1887, 1897 aud 1913, when cholera
raged throughout the corn belt, caus

years Intervening between these high
points the losses were relatively low.

When Making Purchase Insist Upon
Knowing Yearly Milk Production
of Ita Dam.
When buying a bull Insist upon
knowing the yearly milk production of
his dam and the average per cent of
butterfat. A seven-day record Is of
little value in determining the actual
dairy worth of a cow, for by good
handling It is possible to greatly in
crease her percertage of butterfat.
Easy to Make Runts.
It Is easy to make runts out of well-
bred pigs by not feeding the sow well.
A brood sow should receive, therefore,
all the concentrates she will clean up
as soon as the pigs are large enough
to take the milk.

The fact that farm products have
brought smaller returns In recent
months hns no doubt caused less
serum to be bought, and many farm­
ers have lost their herds when they
might have saved them. Perhaps they
could not have prevented the occur­
rence of the disease, but they could
have prevented the hogs from dying
of It.
Getting rid e f hog cholera Is not a
simple matter, which may be appre­
ciated wnen it Is remembered that the
Infection has been carried to all parts
of the United States and that the
ways In which It spreads are probably
cot all thoroughly known. It may be
many s long yeur before this plague
of the swlue ludustry is eliminated.
The best thing to be done now Is for
each farmer to keep close watch over
his herd, and on the first suspicion of
the disease Immunize every hog.
Some men now consider Immunize-
tlon against hog cholera as one of the
regular expenses of pork production
and have It done every year. They
realize thnt It Is not a cuje. but only a

serum la used there la sometimes a
loss, hut In nearly all cases the method
Is very successful. It Is the only de­
pendable means available for prevent­
ing losses from hog cholera.

The Bantam breeds gained their
popularity as ornamental fowl and as
playthings for children und grown-ups,
but, says the United States Depart­
ment of Agriculture, they have also
a distinct utility value for egg pro­
duction for fumily use. There Is also
a good demand for eggs for hatching
and for breeding stock of good qual­
ity. Because of their small size these
pigmy breeds often have the advantage
over larger fowls whore only u very

MAKE BETTER SWISS CHEESE
The method of mnklng Swiss cheese
with pnrlfled and controlled bacterial
cultures, developed by the dairy d!
vision of the United States Depart­
ment of Agriculture, has now passed
definitely Into the commercial stage
This new process wns workeil out In
the dairy laboratories, given thorough
trials In the experimental rheese fac
tory operated by the dairy division at
Drove City. Pa., and is now being used
by a number of commercial factories
In various parts of the country.
The results obtained by two Ohio
factories Indicate that It will be
worth while for those Interested In
the manufacture of Swiss cheese to
adopt the method aad give It a fair
trial. For the cheese made In June
of this year one of these factories
received a straight price of 34 H
cents a pound ; the other factory, 30
cents. At the same time other fac­
tories In tills area received from 20
to 22 cents. Only one of them sue
ceeded In selling for as high as 25
cents. For the July product, one of
the factories received 30 cents for
fancies and No. 1 and 27 cents for Ne
2. The old-system factories received
the same price as for June cheese.
The principal reason the buyers
were willing to pay this margin oyer
the general run of cheese made In
the locality was that the percentage
of high-grade cheese had been greatly
Increased.

Suppose everybody would

up hostilities with the stomach I
Suppose the ancient aggrava­

sible diet and tranquil digestion I
The saving would be beyond

Yet millions go on declaring
war on the stomach and accept­

food at breakfast or

which prompts appetite to say,
“There’s a meal!” and digestion
to answer, “Thank goodness,
here’s peace at last!"
Grape-Nuts is the perfected

quickly, and provides the neces­
