In round numbers the loss amounted to 2,250,000 hogs valued at approximately $29,3911,000. Nine states each lost more than 100,000 head of hogs from the disease. While the disease is highly conta gious and Is dlltlcult to control, the losses have been much higher than they should he, since a preventive se rum Is available, say department ex perts. This serum, used before animals get sick, combined with strict sanita tion and thorough disinfection after outbreaks, is the most effective known control measure. Dr. C. C. Lipp, a South Dakota vet erinarian, urges a thorough cleanup If It has not already been done. All accumulations of cobs must be burned.

The sows and pigs should be f urn tilled « ’ith shelter from the cold rain* and the cold nights. Experience has shown pure bred breeders that they cannot rely on the temperiUe winters and that shelter will prevent pneumonia, bad colds, and genera! nnthriftiness. A moderate quantity of straw or leaves should be used for bedding—not so much that the pigs will not be able to get out of the sow’s way. When the pigs are old enough to eat feed them in a creep. A little shelled corn or skim milk Is a good feed to start them on. Extra feed pays at this time, the animal hus- handrymen at Clemson college say, be cause the pigs are making a cheap gain and will be In good condition for weaning. F^orage can be supplied at this time by rye and rape. It is espe cially desirable to have enough forage to carry the sows and pigs until freezing weather. I f forage is not available a more liberal use of a good protein supplement Is necessary at tins time because the hogs are depenn ing upon the feeder for their supply. Don’t feed lice. A little time and trouble will rid the house and hogs of these parasites. Crude oil or a good coal-tar dip will give results. Sows After Farrowing The sows should be made to take some exercise and should be fed a mineral preparation consisting of 40 per cent lime, 40 per cent honemeal or similar material, and 20 per cent common salt. To this may be added .05 to .1 o f a pound of sodium or potassium iodide for every 100 pounds of the other ingredients. The sow will get along best if she Is not fed the first 24 hours after far rowing. Her first feed can well he the bran and shorts which she was getting before she farrowed.

I f you buy a suit o f clothes that doesn't fit or that you don't like, you can give it to the Janitor, or donate It to the missionary society to go Into the barrel that the ladies of the church are getting ready to send away at Christmas time, or sell it at the annual sorority rummage sale. An unsatisfac tory automobile, or house dog can be disposed of. A wife, even with our present divorce laws, is rather a per manent possession and so should be chosen carefully. My grandmother used to say when giving advice to her grandsons which they seldom asked for and never took, that before the negotiations were actually completed in possessing one self of a wife, it was wisest to see all the faults and weaknesses possible. After marriage one should close his eyes and be blind to anything that suggested imperfection. Quite the opposite Is frequently the case. One uses his head when he buys a horse or a motor car. He wants to know something o f the pedigree of the horse or the internul construction of the car; he isn’t carried away by the results of careful currying on the one hand or skillful painting on the other. With a wife It is too often a matter of sentiment or emotion, of passing fancy for an attractive exterior—for careful currying and skillful painting aa it were. He doesn’t stop to con sider that It Is going to be difficult to dispose of her If she proves unsatis factory—when spavins develop or the coat grows rough, or the paint scales. Age may make a difference. Men and women don't change much excepting in appearance. Curtis had been showing a good deal of attention to Lizxle Chamber- lain ever since we were in high school together. We all thought they were engaged and would be married. Then suddenly things between them seemed all off. “ What's the matter with you and Lizzie?” I asked one day, for we had been very good friends. "Sire's s wonderful girl In some wajs.” he answered, “ and I’m fond of her. I've taken time to think a little, however. I’m over-fastidious, I know. I like order, and neatness, and careful attention to dress, and regularity. “ She’s good hearted, and clever, nod unselfish She's never ready on time There are three substances which must be considered in making up the ration o f a dairy cow. These are con tained In almost all feeding stuffs to a greater or less extent. They are protein, carbohydrates and fat. Some feeds contain a high percentage of one of these and other feeds contain a high percentage of another. The pro tein or nitrogenous substance is most expensive of the three. It ts used by the animal lu production of hair, hoof, hide, horn, blood and muscle. Such feeds as alfalfa, cowpea and clover hay, cotton and linseed meal, bran, oats and gluten feeds contain a high per cent of this substance. The car bohydrates (sugar and starches and fat) are used for the same purpose and may he classed together. These sub MRS. ETHEL T H U R S T O N stances produce heat to keep the body S > 4 H. .

C h a p m a n ) Annual Oyster Feast Held by English Town The oyster feast at Colchester, Eng land. which is held on October 21, dates hack centuries and centuries, lu fact, to the time of the undent Britons. Julius Caesar, after his conquest of the eastern counties of England, founded a town on the site of the present Colchester, and the export of oysters to Rome became the chief in dustry. During the reign of Richard I (1193), the monarch granted a char ter to the citizens giving them the sole right for oyster fishing off a large part of the coast. In order to keep the size of the oysters up to standard, a silver oyster was enst, which now re poses in the town hall, and it is illegal to sell them smaller than the model. As the fume of Colchester’s oysters spread, tt became customary to Invite well-known people from all over the country. The ceremony takes place at the town hall, at the expense of the mayor. The duke o f York was the guest of honor last year, which wit nessed an epoch-making event. For the first time in Colchester's history the feast was presided over by a lady, for the city’s civic head was a mayoress. P am e Fame Is not futile. It Is the peek ing salute to exceptional ability. The idea of every youth should be fame, fairly earned— in competition with others.

While the average man Is ashamed to go on the road with a dirty team that has not been curried that morn ing. he thinks nothing of letting his cows go all winter without even brush ing them. Cows need and respond to grooming as much as horses, yet somehow the curry comb and brush in the cow barn seem entirely out of place to many men. The idea that cows do not need grooming is a good companion for the one about planting potatoes by the moon, Just a notion. Of course, grooming must start early and be kept going. A great aid to keeping cows clean is a clipping ma chine. The flanks and parte of the belly that most usually become soiled can be clipped without Injury to the cow. The amount of bedding avail able and the warmth of the barn must he taken into consideration, o f course, dipping heads and necks also reduces the hiding places of lice and makes their extermination easier.
