Local dealers cannot even 1 get quotations and consequently cannot give prices to those who wish to put in a supply for winter use or protect the small buyer by shipping in a supply for the yards, if these men are not inviting and forcing government and state control we can’t, imagine any set of men who arcGovernor Goodrich has asked that all public work not a necessity be postponed where such improvements mean the use of ears for hauling material and where labor is required.

Many pigs art being shipped from livestock markets to farms for fte 1ing purposes after being vaccinate*! immediately before shipment from th** yards, where they have lieeti expo* d to c holera Car* niusr be exercised or there* will lie widespread outbreaks f cholera, wherever these hogs are shipped. Hogs treated with ls*th serum and wirus ar** likely to spread cholera to susceptible hogs, for thirty days after vaccination, especially if they show visible symptoms of the disea.-e If the* hogs pur* hased have Iceen ship ped from the south, outside* tlie state, it is quite possible that a tew of those vaccinated may' be lost. In any c ase, even th High the v;,* | ciliated hog- show no symptoms of disease. farms on which they have Iceen received should be quarantined an*! neighbors should exercise all preprecautions to see that serious outbreaks are prevented Pigeons. lio-;s. or oilier animals may carry chob'-a trom these- farms exactly as if hors were dying from the disease. Tlie disastrous losses of the past few years in spite of the success of vaccination, have been to a consici.ratile extent caused by failure to quarantine ho;s after they had been treated by the simultaneous method Pigs under fifty imunds. brou-znt from central markets should not >»' treated with virus as immunity will not Ite permanent The subsequent contracting of cholera by pigs vacinaated when we ighing less than fitly pounds, has 1 een the cause t' heavy losses and much dissatisfcatioa. Small pigs that have been exposed 'o cholera should be given serum only and then retreated with the simultaneous method when lliey weigh eighty to one pounds, if danger stUl exists. Purdue University Bulletin Number 174 gives detailed information about hog cholera control.

Suffering pain from injury receiv d when he fell backward from Ms wagon Thursday. John A Mumma. c,f Johns street, went to a doctor this morning where lie found that his injury was more severe than lie though,. It was found that a rib was broken. o Why Do You Worry? Why should anyone worry? To worry shortens life. Like tinge r it reac ts ami poisons the system. The federal health service Inis taken worry so seriously that it has issued a bulletin warning the American people against tlie danger of worrying and the blessing that comes to those who are active members of the glad-hand society. That's Why. “Myers is a changed man since he bought Hint jiltiec* in the* country. When he* lived in the* city he used to Im* too lazy to hung up the pictures when he moved from one apartment to another, but now Ete's always pottering about his house' and grounds, making some improvement or esher.” "Maybe lie’s trying to fix the place up so be can sell it again." ‘‘Meticulous.’’ The use of the word “meticulous” in the sense* of may be* understood by th** following definitions, which we quote in answer to it r* quest for the- citation of authorities; Century Dictionary, “timid; over-ettrf'-fnl;" New Standard, "over-cautious;” Oxford Concise, "over-scrupulous about minute details." The word is from the Latin “metlcnlosus." "full of fear." tlie derivation being from ‘metus,” “fear.” Good Way to Teat Diamonds. Suspected diamonds :ir*> frequently, tested by placing theta between two coins and pressed hard wiili the fingers. It is said to be, impossible to i make* the smallest Unpression on a real I diamond, but. In the case* of n paste article*, Un* edges may be- crushed.
