Columbia, Mo., Ovt, 22.—Recent reports received here at the state ex- periment station substantiate the statement recently made by Dr. D. F. Lackey, state veterinarian, that hog cholera had disappeared in this state, and had apparently been wiped out by the recent floods. The mat- ter has excited widecomment. Many disagree w'th the thory of Dr. Luckey but the fact remains that the disease has certainly been eradicated, and late reports show that it has not yet reappeared. The question now before the farm: ers is how to prevent its return. In this connection Dr. Luckey makes an important statement. He said: “This is a disease in which every ounee of prevention is worth a pound of cure. - There are still, of course, a few cases in Missouri, and to prevent the disease from epreading until mat- ters areas bad as previous to the flood, I will say, first of all, burn the bodies of diseased hogs. The disposition of the bodies of hogs dying of cholera is the vital point in ‘connection with the disease. impossible to estimate the damage a single carcass may do by spreading the disease when left lying around the premises. One careless farmer may perpetuate the disease in a neighborhood, and damage every- body around him. The only thing todo with a car- case is to burn it. Burn it as near as possible where it dies. The bury- ing of a carcass does fairly well, but *, as arule the body is not b: ried deep 4 enough. Sooner or later parts of the carcass are °xhumed, and in such cases the burying only preser co the germs. Ifa farmer really thinks he needs the cholera among his hogs, he shou'd take alittle time some day to go over to his neighbors who have it, walk around among his sick hogs, goback home and tramp around amoung his own bogs, and he can go to bed that night feeling reasonably sure that the disease will break out in bis place within a few days. The disease ix also spread by dogs, (iy of dizeased hogs from one farm to We, another. The safest and surest way to prevent the germs from being car- tied about is to burn the bodies. I ‘ have insisted upon this point repeat- Wa edly, and now is the critical time for farmers to heed the warning. In conclusion I will say that hog cholera remedies so much advertised have, as a rule, proved absolutely worthless. Recent experiments in vaccination have brought some flat- tering results. and we may later be able t> accomplieh much more in this line.” Ass result of the eradication of hog cholera in this state there will be large increase in breeding. It is eufe to say that there will be a larger number of hogs io Missouri within thé next year or two than at ony previous time in the history of the state. Dr. F. K. Munford, acting dean of the state agricultural college, pre- dicts a great inerease, not only of hogs, but of all kinds of live stock. i Te drouth have already been redeemed, and there are now more hogs, horses, mules and cattle in Missouri than in crease next year.” The eradication of hog cholera bas not only diseased avimals were carried away the disease was eradicated in this , This shows clearly that the of the dead bodies.

'LOU DILLON TROTS MILE IN 1:5 1-82; BREAKS ALL RECORDS In Phenomenal Race at Memphis She Clips Second and Quarter Off of Cres- ceus’s Time. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 26—Lou Dillon, the peerless trotter, owned by C. K. G. Billings, of Chirago, and driven by Millard Sanders, this vfter- noon proved her right to the proud title of Queen of the Turf by trotting a mile under adverse conditions in the remarkable time of 1:584 The daughter of Sidney Dillon was paced by a runner, driven by Scott McCoy, and another runner followed closely to urge the mare to a supreme effort. The track of the Memphis Driving Club never showed to better advan- tage. Teams and sprinklers were em- ployed throughout the day, putting on finishing touches, and when the time for Lou Dillon’s trial arrived the course was perfect. A strong wind from the north swept down the long back stretch, however, and Judge Newton an- nounced to the spectators that too much should not be expected of the game little trotter. Lou Dillon appeared on the track 5:10 p. m., and, after a prelimi- nary, Sanders announced that he was ready for the start. The two runners were aligned in position, and it was noticed that a strip of board about one yard wide was fastened to the pacemaker’s sulky, directly under the seat. This, it was announced, was used to keep the dust out of the mare’s face. At the first atart Sanders nodded for the word and the flag dropped. Alter going an eighth of a mile San- ders yelled to McCoy to drive faster, and it looked as if the mare would catch the runue.. Making che first turn the remarkable work of Lou Dillon could be better seen by the thousand present, and, like a piece of perfect machinery, she reached the quarter pole in 30 seconds. The turn for the back stretch was now reached, and many expected to see the champion falter because of the wind. To the surprise of every one, Lou Dillon seemed to travel faster, and when the half-mile was reached the timer’s slate clicked out :594. A great cheer arose and many horee- men predicted that a new record was making. On the far-turn McCoy was forced to whip the runner to keep clear of the trotting marvel, which was pushing him closely. The three- quarters pole was passed in 1:28, and the mare had turned for home. The wind now was an advantage rather than a detriment and with a superb burst of apeed, Lou Dillon, urged on by the shouts of the drivers of the runners, dashed under the wire in 1:58% When the time was flashed to the spectators, hate were flung high into the air, and cheer followed cheer. Sanders was literally lifted from his sulky by an admiring throng, while Mr. Billings was showered with con- eratulations. lt was a noticeable fact that the watches of the three official timers agreed to the fraction, acd many hureemen standing in the ge caught the ty al — wy & nounced to a fr: mers were Bud Doyle.
