Injecting Serum.

(By DR. R. H. WILLIAMS. Animal Mm-
■ bandman. t'ntve«lty nf Arlxona Agricul-
tural Experiment Station >
A vsry common Inquiry from farm
ers Is In regard to Inoculating hogs
as protection against cholera.
Hog cholera has been a great men-
ace to the hog Industry. TIiIh disease
may not be dreadM if tare lx taken to
keep out Infection bh well an possible
and then use hog choltira serum uh
soon as the disease gets within two
miles of tho place where hog* are
maintained. Tliero are two method*
of applying the serum, the one belli*
called tho simultaneous method anil
the other tho preventive. The simul-
taneous method should never he i ted
where there Is some doubt of tlm ex-
istence of hog cholera In the district.
It consists of Injecting preventive
serum as well as tho living virus of
the hog cholera anil rapidly over cok-
ing It with the antitoxin. Often hogs
are thought to bo Infected with chol-
•ra whan souie other disease Is pros-
MIL la such cases the simultaneous
treatment la extremely dangerous be-
cause i* Introduces the disease to a
district ami other hogs that n*o not
treated may become Infected. In such
cases It Is probable tho man Introduc-
ing the hog cholera by means of the
simultaneous treatment would be lla
bio fur damages If he cannot localize
tho disease to Ills own ptuco. The
simultaneous treatment costs only a
few cents more than the other and
renders grown pigs Immune from chol-
era during a considerable length of
time, possibly for life.
Where It Is not certain that hog
cholera Is actually In the district but
where It Is suspected that the disease
has become established within a few
miles of tho hog farm the "single '
treatment is recommended. This con-
sists of Injecting a sufficient quantity
of antitoxin Into tho blood of tho pigs
and thus rendering them Immune to
any attacks of cholera This work
should be done by a trained veterinari-
an and the si-rum will cost about forty
cents for an average : lie pig Tho
serum will render the pig Immune
from cholera for two to three months
and must be repeated at tho end of
that tlmo
WELL named Is Ilarren Is-
land Far removed Is it
from the haunts of civi-
lized man, though Included
within the geographical confines of
Greater New York. And for the most
part barren aro the 1,600 or 1,(500 in-
habitants of civic cr jiutlonnl Ideals,
oven of ambition to better their condi-
tion; to make their days and nights
conform measurably to standards such
as other folk enjoy who are adopted
sons and daughters of Father Knick-
erbocker's great and growing family,
savs the New York Sun.
Anyone with the desire to visit for-
eign shores, and without traveling
more than an hour or so from City
Hall park, can descend Into the sub-
way near by the municipal building,
take a train for Car.arslo, and at
Canarsle landing step on board a
steamboat which leaves there at fre-
quent Intervals bound Ilarren Island
ward. In an hour, more or Icbs, tho
traveler will have arrived at his
destination—at a land mass, as Arctic
explorers put It—situate In a general
direction south by east from the main
borough of Hrooklyn Near by, toward
the west, Is Sheepshend bay; to tho
east Is Jamaica bay, and not far off
is the group of Hockaways Thus It
will be seen that Ilarren Island, while
off the beaten track of travel. Is by
no means Inaccessible, Yet when the
traveler sets foot on shore there and
takes one comprehensive glance
around he will realize that In all but
location he Is In a foreign land
The principal "center'' of Darren
Island is Its one great Industry, that
of handling refuse of the big <■ ity of
which t Is a humble part. This cen
tral spot Is marked by the work of
the reduction company, upon the op-
eration of which Ilarren Island atid Its
inhabitants depend Eastward from
this gTeat garbage plant stretches the
one main avonuo—Ilroadway it Is
and then a scarf-
watch charm and
diamond ring or
Ing therefrom treasures that theli
parents can soli or barter—bits of
metal, occasionally pieces of gold or
silver Jewelry, now
pin or cuff link, a
onco in a while a
stud.
"It Is hard to bollovo," said one of
Commissioner Ooldwater's men, who
lias been on a trip of Investigation,
"but down at Barro:i island almost
every foreman or other Important per-
sonage wears diamonds and I am
told that every one of thoai w as picked
up In those heaps of refuse This, re-
member, after tho refuse has been
screened, crushed and examined with
minute caro for Just such valuable
'pickings.' "
Russians, Slavonians, Poles and no-
groea apparently constitute the pro-
dominant strains of population, al-
though other peoples are to bo found,
Including Italians. Uurnor has It, In
fact, that the political leader of Ilar-
ren island's little squad of voters is
himself an Italian, and a very keen
one at that Life down there may
not be all bi er and skittles although
If health department surmises are
correct a considerable part of It may
be beer or liquid causlns thereto.
I tut so far as can ho ascertained by
an outsider tho Islander* aro far from
an unhappy community. They work
hard, It Is true, In and around the
reduction plant, at least the men do;
and their womenfolk seem to work
Just as hard about their little hoTies,
while the boys and girls, when they
are not attending school, find plenty
of occupation In searching for hidden
treasure In those huge heaps of refuse,
Happy Boys aad Girls.
The boys a'i I girls of Ilarren Island
form the leading part of the popula-
tion, so far as observation of tho out-
side visitor can detect. Of course
they do not wear clothing made for
"I'll teach that boy to tell lies."
"1 wouldn't do it now, dear; wait
and let him lieur the one you tell

"Evor feel the call of the wild?"
ssked tho first clerk.
"Lots of times," answered the sec

"What do you do?"
"Oh, I usually go out and dodge a

"Judging from the shabby and un
derfed appearance of Mrs. Dlggs and
the children, ho Isn't working for

"My motto," said the very young
man, "Is 'Ho sure you are right, theu

"That was my motto also," rejoined
the sad-faced man with the missing

woman to stand up and face the par
Bon with me."
SEVERAL GOOD POINTERS FOR DAIRYMAN
T rf'
4 A
Excellent Dairy Specimens.
A poor milker never gets the best
results from a cow. A nervous iinl-
mal resents the bungling touch ol a
rough or inexperienced hand.
Why not encourage the little pe-
culiarities of the well-bred dairy cow.
She Is simply a big milk machine and
If her whims will produce more milk
let her have them.
If we were going to select a bull w e
would aelect tbe one with the worst
temper, all other things being equal
llecause temper and vigor show male
characteristics which should not bo
Ignored
A gentle sleepy bull that can be
managed without a nosering does not
as a rule produce th< best calv<
It la downright cruelty to keep ,i
bull In a small Inclosure In the sum
mer. a victim to heat and files but
many men who claim to be good
dairymen, do this very thing.
How could we expect a cow to keep
In good health and give pun milk
when sho Is confined In foul and III
ventilated quarters, winter or summer
A pair of torse clippers can In
bought for l 50 and th us.- of tti<
once a month on thi cow's flanks and
udder will make It an easy matter to
keep them clean.
How manv rows on the average
farm give milk containing more than
twenty per cent of butterfnt' Per
haps not more Ihun one out of every
100.
Tho separator should never be al
lowed In tho ham or near It.
A half dozen window sash, glazed,
will make a dust proof box In which
the dairy vessels can be sunned and
absolutely clean.
Xny enterprising farmer living near
• town of 6,000 or more can sell every
pound of hli butter at full retail
price* or little above, the year -ound
Ktor several years we have bought
farm butter from tho same farmer, at
two cents above retail market price,
every month in the year and glad to
get It.
Never attempt to keep summer
butler for early fall prices, because
It will not keep.
All milk should be separated as soot,
as taki n from the cow. This can be
done bv passing It through the anpnrii
lor, but It is ict lis good as a dev1< *
which divides the milk Into many fine
streams and then allows It to (low
' over a wide surface In thin si ts

If nothing i" iter can be he I, milk

a trough of cold water and du ping

and pouring It buck Into the inn until
it in tl oroughly cool

; which will admit of plenty of oxer-
