Chicago, Ill., Sept. 22.—Responsi- bility of averting a meat famine was put up to srhall farmers today by speakers at the eighth annual conven- | tion of the American Meat-Packers:—+ All the speakers agreed that if the decrease in meat production of the last ten years is not stopped the ques- tion of meat supply for the people of the United States will be most seri- ous. Among the remedies suggested are: Every farmer should raise at least two beef steers a year to offset the decreased production of the great ranches of the West. The remaining ranges should be cut up in farms to put all farmers on an equal footing. Development of the hills of New England as a beef-producing country. Substitution of corn for cotton in the Southern States and the conse- quent development of the cattle and hog production. The report of the Executive Com- mittee sounded the first note of the danger of a famine. The American meat packing-house situation and that of consumers of meat food products in this country are both in a condition more precarious than at any other| time in our history,” the report states. Assassin of Madero is Murdered, is Report. New York, Sept. 22.—A Washing- ton dispatch to the American says: “The assassin of former President Madero of Mexico has himself been assassinated. Lieut. Col. Francisco Cardenas, who shot the Mexican Ex- ecutive on the night of the tragic ride from the palace to the penitentiary, has been murdered at Michoachan, according to reports received at the ~ Carranza headquarters here. With Cardenas died the last living witness of the Madero tragedy. Vice President Pina Suarez died when his chief died, shot as he was shot.

Wilson Favors Armor Plant. Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—Es- tablishment of a great naval armor plant, owned and operated by the Government, is favored by President Wilson.’ Secretary Daniels told cal- lers this today with evident elation. The Secretary has been advocating this proposition ever since he came into office and found the three big armor-plate plants of the country submitting identical bids for furnish- ing battleship material. He said he had been encouraged by promises of congressional support and that he would have a conference on the subject soon with Admiral Dewey, president of the General Board of the Navy. 26 Hurt When R. I. Colorado Flyer is Ditched in Kansas Topeka, Kas., Sept. 20.—Another victory for the steel passenger car was chalked up today when four cars of Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train No. 40 went into the ditch two miles west of Manhattan. The cars were dragged on their sides for nearly 1,000 feet before the train was stopped. The steel cars in the,train saved the company a heavy iist of dead and injured. A complete list of injured compiled’ from the official records of the com- pany in Topeka shows twenty-six people injured, three seriously. Submarine Makes a Record New Port, R. 1., Sept., 20.—Two center hits made with Whitehead tor- pedos at 3,000 yards while running twelve feet under the surface of the sea is the remarkable record reported by the United States submarine E-1 on its return from target practice in Gardners’s Bay. During Wednesday's practice the E-1 under command of Lieut. Leuis D. Casey, while running submerged at full speed, discharged both of her 18-inch torpedos ata 10-foot moving target. Both of the hits were bulls- Hog cholera is probably more dread- ed by the farmers of the corn belt than any other disease of live stock. And well may this be so, for no other disease has caused greater financial ‘loss in the last few years. The disease is caused by a specific germ, not yet isolated, which is found in the blood and urine of the diseased animal. It is communicated to well ar¢mal!s by the’r being on the same ground with diseased ones. They may get it while being transported in cars, in stock yards or while being driven over roads, or by the germ being car- reason to suspect hus been on infect- should kill stray dogs, and see to it that all outbreaks of cholera are made public news at once., Any new ani- mals brought on the farm should he isolated for a moth before turning them in with a bunch of healthy ani- mals. r Animals recovering from hog chol- era should not be turned among the healthy animals until washed with a 2 per cent solution of cresol and after an isolation of three months. Infect- ed feed troughs and litter should be Hog Cholera Serum Laboratory at the Missouri Experiment Station. um is made from blood which js drawn from hyper-immune hogs through their tails. ried on the feet of animals, such as dogs, crows and buzzards. { Two forms of the disease are com. | mon. First, the acute, in which the animal has fever and displays dull- | ness, a tendency to lie down with no effort to get up, soreness of the eyes and glueing together of the eyelids and a discharge of watery feces. Death usually results in a few days. In the chronic form the hog shows @ general weakness, It coughs on moving, and frequently goes down in the hind quarters. This form is slow- er in acting than the acute form, but death usually results, To be sure that a case of sickness is: cholera, a postmortem should be made of the first hog to die. This is done by opening the animal so as to expose the internal organs. If the disease is hog cholera the following conditions are usually present: (1) The lungs will be found con- gested as they are in pneumonia, (2) Swelling and congestion of most all glands of the body. (3) The blood vessels running | through the web-like structure around | the intestines will be found congested. | (4) By opening the large intestines! there will be found elevated ulcers. known as the “button ulcers,” on ac- count of their button-like appearance. As in most diseases where there is no specific cure, the chief thing to consider with hog cholera is preven- tion. First, the hog-farmer should al- low no person or animal which he has WHEAT IN. THE ROTATION THIS GRAIN IS USUALLY SOWED AFTER OATS OR CORN—DE. PENDS UPON CONDITIONS. | By J. C. Hackleman of the Depart | ment of Agronomy, Univer- sity of Missouri. The proper place of wheat in a crop rotation depends upon conditions, but is usually after oats or corn. A rota- tion of corn, oats, wheat and clover is a very satisfactory one for North Missouri conditions, Or, if more corn is desired, two years of corn may be followed by oats, this by wheat, then one year in clover or two years in clover or timothy. For south Missouri, where oats are not so commonly grown, a rotation of corn, wheat and clover, or corn, wheat, clover and timothy for two years, is good on soils where wheat follows corn well. Where wheat does not follow, corn to advantage, as is the case in sections of south Missouri, it will be best, as a rule, to plant oats between the corn and wheat, as in the first-mentioned rotation. Another plan is to follow corn with soy beans or cowpeas and then Row wheat, follow. ing with, clover or grass. A consider. able number of complaints have been The ser-, burned, the premises should b: cleaned and the ground sprinkle¢ with quicklime. Always burn the dead animals. To_help in the general resistance of animals to disease there should be a general cleanliness of the pens and feed lots, washing out the troughs and disinfecting them with the cresol: so lution. Dry sleeping quarters and pure drinking water are essential. The United States department of agriculture recommends the following mixture to help fortify the hogs against cholera: Wood charcoal ms Sulphir ........ +++-1 pound Sodium sulphite....1 pound Black antimony ....1 pound Common salt ...... 2 pounds Sodium bicarbonate.2 pounds Sodium hyposulphite 2 pounds A dose is one tablespoonful (heap- ing) for a 200-pound hog. in the feed. This mixture aids in|| keeping the hogs in good, thrifty con- dition, and makes them more immune || to all diseases. The surest method of preventing the cholera is to inoculate the hogs with the serum put out by the Mis-| souri experiment station. We will soon be feeding our new corn, and during the period following is when cholera thrives best. The wise policy is to keep the hogs healthy, start them on new corn gradually and be ready to inoculate on short notice. souri it is a very common practice to grow cowpeas and wheat on the land the same year. The wheat is threshed, the land broken and sown | | to cowpeas, which are cut for hay |; and seed, the ground prepared by use || of the disc and drag and resown to |}: wheat. : { Maty inquiries come to the experi- ment station regarding this practice on the uplands of the state. But with the exception of the extreme north- ern counties it is not practicable ex- cept in especially favored seasons. As a rule, in central and north Missouri the time between wheat harvest and || wheat sowing in the fall is too short, | and, moreover, the ground is usually, hard and dry after the wheat is re- moved, making immediate preparation for peas impracticable except on rath- er limied areas. R i & Hl 3 F second crop partly pastured off and then turned under with the seed, brings the the second ed ground to enter his premises.
