There Is no class of Hvo stock that suffers so severely from infectious dis case as swine. The disease, cholera. Is highly contagious, and in some outbreaks rractically overy herd In the neighborhood Is destroyed. The average yearly denth rate among hogs In Indiana Is about lo per cent, or about one hog crop in ton. Quarantine laws relative to the control of hos cholera have been passed by the different stato assemblies, but financial support for their enforcement has not been provided. The enforcement of theso laws Is in the hands of the farmers, who should inform themselves regarding them and interest themselves in their enforcomenL The Purdue experiment station is producing anti-hog cholera serum In a mall way. This serum Is produced according to the Dorsot-Niles method nnd when used In non-infected hrrds has given excellent results. In such 1 erds it is used with cholera blood of Cultivation of Intertilled Crops By C. E. CRAIG Inttruetor in Soili, Purdue School of Agriculture Among the factors which are essential to crop production none are more essential than the maintenance of the proper moisture conditions. Tho amount of water available for n crop may be the result of many factors, among which aro tho amount of rainfall, tho readiness with which it Is absorbed by the soil, the depth to the water table, tho texture of tho soil, the organic matter, the union of thfurrow slice with the subsoil, the firming of tho sub-surface, tho existence of a plow sole, and tho proper cultivation of the surface. It will thus appear that tho amount of available moisture depends on many conditions, sorao of which are not under tho control of tho farmer while he Is moro or less the master of other factors. Tho chief factor, howover, under his control after an intortilled crop Is planted. Is cultivation. Where the land is too wet. cultivation which leaves tho surface very uneven pennlt3 a moro rapid drying and warming of tho soil. Hut usually when land drains fairly woll and when tho crop has not been planted extremely early there is little need of cultivation to dissipate moisture. Tbore ia moro often noI of moisture conservation very early in tho eo.ison to prevent evaporation duo to lack of shading and the movement of wind over tho unprotected surface. Dust Mulches. The efficiency of a dust mulch for coniorving moisture depends on Its being loose, fine, nnd dry.

First and always, tho grain must ho put through several cleansing waters, and it is better to do this just before using, to prevent so great an absorption of water.

high virulence, the serum-simultaneous method of vaccination being practiced. The serum and blood are Injected beneath tho skin and Into tho muscles of tho inner thigh region. Before vaccinating tho hogs it Is necessary to determino their condition, whether infected or not. by taking their body temperatures. In order to socure tho best results It Is very necessary to seo that the work is done as carefully as possible. Serum of propor potency must b u?od. or tho animal may dio of cholera. Wo do not recommend st rum as a treatment for the disoaso. Tho serum production work is selfsupporting. No funds have been provided for this work. The farmers aro charged IV conts per cc. for the serum and virulent blood. This chargo Includes tho cost of vaccinating tho hogs in tho field. During tho past year tho average cost per hog was sixty cents. Practically all of tho field work is in tho bands of tho veterinarians. stirred soil is rapidly evaporated, thon this layer acts to protect the molsturo in the under layer. Tho more rapid this evaporation, the more effective the mulch. If the mulch is cloddy so that the air in the Interspaces is frequently changed, tho mulch is not so effective. Rains moisten and pack the dust mulch, thus destroying its oillcioncy. And even where rain does not occur, mulches tend gradually to loso their efficiency, due to becoming gradually compacted and to heavy dews. Tho deteroriation of a mulch is moro rapid where thero Is a lack of organic matter in the sell. Character and Depth of Cultivation. While deep cultivation to warm, aerate, and loosen the soil may bo necessary early In tho season to compact soil3. the ordinary cultivation should be shallow. It should not bo deeper than necessary to destroy weeds and to preserve moisture. Tho depth will vary with the soil and the Implements used. A cultivator which loaves a mulch of an even depth does not need to be run bo deeply as one which leaves the mulch an uneven depth. The more completely tho mulch is broken looso from tho under soil, tho less tho depth required. The shallow mulch Is much moro efficient according to its depth than n deep mulch, and n shallow .mulch permits the use of a greater depth of soil by the plant roots. Number of Cultivations. The number of cultivations should not be governed by .my hard and fast rulo. The conditions of tho surface and tho weeds should guide tho farmer In tho number of cultivations. Whon a crust is formed, the soil should bo cultivated. It Is very important that weed be prevented from growing for they rob tho growing crop of both plant food and water. grain separate. As soon as the rlco is tender, it should nt once be drained into a large collandcr to admit of tho mass boing shaken nparL If it Is to be used In a short time it may be left in tho collandcr and put in front of the ovon with tho door left open so that all molsturo may evaporate. If, however, somo llttlo tlmo is to ehpso before using, a cup of cold water may be poured through the rlco as soon as It is drained and thon it may bo sot whore It will dry slowly and reheat It is well onco In awhile to shake the pan In which rlco is cooking to prevent tho chanco of any dropping to tho botton and sticking, or if it be necessary to stir it either when cooking or drying, a fork ia preferable to a spoon, tho chances of mashing being leas. Prepared in this manner It is flaky and appotlzing in appoaranco. It is false oconomy to buy a poor grado of rlco. The most careful cookery fails to preserve the grains whole, and the greater part of tho food constituents find tholr way down the sink, owing to tho mashing of the imperfect grains.

s!T0 BE WELL DRESSED

GOME THINGS A YOUNG LADY SHOULD AVOID. Short Skirts Don't Always Make a Girl Look Younger Silk or Satin Raincoat Is Not a Utility Garment. Don't forget that you cannot make people think you havo come to town in a motor car Just bocnuso you woar n silly llttlo bonnet or a huge chiffon voll. Don't Imagine that you look younger because you havo oloctotl to wear extremely short skirt; genorally speaking, you only succeed In appearing ridiculous. Don't buy n silk or satin raincoat and then uso it for general utility purpoaos. If you would bo welldrossod. A raincoat, as its name signifies, is to bo worn in rainy or stormy weather, and Is ontlrely out of place on a sunny day or for an evening wrap. Don't forget that tho voll you wear every day becomes very much soiled and is a roal menace to clear skin. Your veil may be easily wnshod in chloroform or ether, and will dry in tcu minutes. Don't arrange your hair Just Hko "all the girls do now." when it Is the most unbecoming way you can woar it. Remember that each girl must keep in mind her own individual style and cator to It with a due regard, of course, for tho present stylos. Don't chooso clothes mado on very extreme lines unless you can afford to follow every whim of fashion. Remember tho well-dressed, woll-brod girl Is never conspicuous, and her clothes never attract undue attention on the stroot. Don't buy cheap flowers for your hat trimming and imngino you aro practicing oconomy. The flowers will fade with half a dozen wearings and your hat look shabby. Chooso good ribbon intsead, and while tho first cost will be a llttlo moro, the wearing qualities of tho material will more than mako it up. Don't wear a ready-made skirt until you havo put a braid on tho lower odge to protect it from wear. Don't try to wear a ready-made petticoat with a drawing string In tho top. Fit the garment smoothly at the waist and over the hips, and put it on a band to be fastened with buttons, PINAFORE FOR YOUNG GIR! ' Btyre That Will Find More Favor j Among Girls of Teg to Twelve j Than Ordinary Kind. I Girls of ten to twelve years of ago ; often object strongly to wearing plnnj fores, especially white ones, though j there are many occasions on which It , Is necessary to protect a dress; now, If I such a pinafore as this is mado In como pretty fancy cotton, trlmraod with a scalloped border of plain. It will no doubt find moro favor than one of an ordinary kind. It is cut in one pieco and fastens at back. Material required: Two yards 36 Inches wide; 4 yard plain material 2S Inches wldo. New Motor Bonnets. The habit of riding In motors has bocomo so widespread that tho motor bonnet is as important as tho everyday hat Thero aro new ones mado up entirely of wldo :.nd nnrrow plaited frills. Theso are put on a thin gauzo foundation which Is stiffened with wire. Tho frills are often mado of black and whito ribbon, and held in rlace around the middle of tho bonnet by a two-Inch band of black velvet Greon Is a favorite color for summer, and stono-gray has proved a servicohle one

of the

hooks or snap lasteners. Tho new dress skirts absolutely demand welllitted petticoats. Whilo wo are discussing petticoats, don't forget that tho silk ones with a muslin or porcallno dust-rulllo will wear much longer than those which are all of silk. The first cost is n dollar or so less, too. CHARMING COSTUME The charm of this costume is Its tailored simplicity, the model being designed to exhibit the virtues of linen and piquo for early summer "tub" costumes, though for presont wear this cut may, be admirably expressed in .aluminum-gray or Parma violet cloth. SUMMER WORK FOR GIRLS An Absorbingly Interesting Kind la the Very Fashionable Bead Bag. If any girl wants to undertako somo rather elaborate but beautiful summer work, an absorbingly Interesting kind Is the very fashionable bead bag; also purses and card cases of tho same kind. Of course most people who have theso charming things buy them and think it would be far too much work for a clever girl, nor is It too difficult. Even tho lnveterately "sporty" girl takes a rest now and thon from active amusements, and if she once loams to do this bead work she will become moro and more fascinated by it. She need only give her formerly Idle hours on the porch to It, and before long sho will have a beautiful bag or purse. It Is necessary to take n few lessons If one has novor dono any of tho work, but tho fnncy work shops that sell tho materials give tho lessons, too. Somo of tho dosigns used are most artistic, somo are quaint and sjggestivo of the days of our grandmothers. Ono can choose between flowers and moro formal and conventional designs nnd between those that match certain gowns and those that aro neutral enough to go well with several. Newer than tho bags (but no more attractive) are tho flat card cases covered entirely with bead designs. Tho girl who makes one of these during tho summer has a most beautiful Christmas gift ready for her mother or older sister. Hooks on Cklrtband. Ono would think everyone would know that tho best way to koep a blouse and skirt together In not to use 6nfoty pins, but to sew hodka In tho skirt and eyes to correspond on the back of the wnlstband of tho blouse; and yet, judging by all the specimens of waist and skirt divorc- and complete separation that wo seo. there aro still many to whom that knowledge is lacking. It might be well to sny, in addition, that if the blouse be too delicate In fabric to stand tho ctraln. n bit of tape should be sewed to Us back, on -.rhich tho eyes can bo fastened. Chenille Coats. Tho latest French and English fad Is evening coals and wraps of knittod chenille in bright colorH. Those are mado after regular models In the lalost stylo, with diagonal stripes of fancy raised knltling. l.argo buttons to match, enormous dlrectoiro revorfi, etc. Tho collar, sailor, of course, and tho deep cuffa aro dono In a daisy or star pattern, either loosely knittod or crocheted In solid white wool. Sometimes there Is n border of the white, also, with tho rovers made to match.

"I think." asserted tho exhorter, in tho watnh of hia eloquence. "I think that euch and all of us will contlnuo In the next world the work wo are doing In this one." Here two men arose aud stamped storraily from the building. Tho spenker affeetod not to -notice the disturbance, but aftor tho meeting ho asked ono of the committoe on reception who tho men were. "Well. I guess they got a little mad at what you said about having tho same Jobs in the next world." wns the answer. "Tho tall man was Riley Ferguson he makes fireproof storage houses, and tho little fellow was Pete Bales." "Ah, Just so. And what doos Mr. Bales do?" "Sells fire escapes." The New Weather. We used to have our hot wenthet tabulated as "90 In tho shade," or "100 at midnight," or some-such Impressive thing as that. Dut now tho weather reports go into decimals the same as j a baseball percentage table. "95.3" , and "9i.I" are tho records hung out for certain hours on certain days. No doubt n few years from now people v,ill ho quarreling over whether ono day was one-one-lhousandth of a degreo warmer than another. As a matter of fact, when a man's hot he's hot. and you can put the docimal point anywhero you like on that. Diplomatic. The man runs across a dozon of his friends who have returned from tholr summer ani fall trips. "Say." asks the friends, "didn't you tell us that if there was one place In tho country for a person to go on his vacation it was Sandy Beach?" "I believe I did." "Hut we didn't seo you there, and now wo learn that you went to Pino Mountain on your trip." "Yes, to toll you tho truth, I wanted to be sure of having a quiet, restful spot." Diplomatic Secret. "Confidentially." we say to the attache jf the legation, "why did all tho foreign ministers leave Belgrade after the assassination?" "On tho quiot," he tells us. "they loft so that they could go to some secluded spot and learn how to pronounce the name of King Karageorgovltch without committing lece majesty." Fatherly Displeasure. "Confound It!" exclaimed her father stepping lnlo the hall to conceal his rage, "this is tho third leap year party Lizzie has had. nnd there's old Killjoy trying to get her to sing 'liedella' after inducing her to piny 'Hiawatha.'
