Mrs. Imes' son and his wife, who live with her, are said to have gone to the county fair with a neighbor and she was alone in the house. She had noticed three men in the forenoon In

a thicket along a creek that runs through the farm. Two of the men came to the house early in the afternoon and inquired if the men folks were home. Mrs. Imes told them the men were down in the woods driving in the hogs. They said they knew better and one man entered the house. Mrs. Imes is said to have struck him with a stick, when the second man rushed in and grabbed her and forced her into a chair and the two bound her fast. The robbers are said to have carried a large can of lard and other foodstuff from the cellar into the yard, saying the farmers had all the money and food and they (the men) were going to have some food for northing. An old automobile that had been in a shed and out of commission a long time, the robbers tried to repair, it is said. For some reason they were frightened away and left the farm.

SAYS VACCINATION WILL END CHOLERA (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, 'Oct. 3. Hog cholera, which is spreading alarmingly

through herds in Indiana can positive--ly be prevented by vaccination before ;

the disease attacks a herd says ur. R. C. Julien, state veterinarian. That vaorinatinn nracticed before the dis

ease has attacked a herd, is an effec- . tive means of preventing cholera, is; clearly shown by conditions now pre-; vailing in the vicinity of Fairfield,. Ind., where farmers have kept their, swine free from the infection by ad-J ministration of serum and virus, ac-t

cording to a report received by Dr. Julien. From practically every section of the state where farmers have neglected to vaccinate, reports of outbreaks

of the disease continue to come in toi the state veterinarian. Commenting) on the conditions which now exist in

the state representatives of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry and state officials point out the significant fact that hog cholera appears to run in cycles. The first period of exceptional prevalence reached its climax in 1SS7, the second in 1S97 and the third in 1913 and 1914. Records Prove Losses. Records kept by the United States Department of Agriculture show that

in 1913 the farmers of Indiana sustained a loss of 500.7G0 hogs. In 1914 there

was a decided decrease in the number I lost, though the number of hogs on j hand had increased more than 260,000.

The records show that the number of animals dying from cholera has steadily decreased each succeeding year until in 1917 the losses had been reduced to 214,380 out of a total of 3,970,000 hogs on hand. These figures became particularly

significant, Dr. Julien says, when It Is recalled that up until 1912 no systematic effort had been made for the control of the disease. , As the system of vaccination has been perfected and confidence in the efficiency of the treatment has been established among farmers, the losses have decreased year by year. The state department, federal bureau

and the veterinary department of Purdue university are endeavoring to keep constantly before the hog raisers, the fact that anti-hog cholera serum is not a cure for cholera but that if used, in time, it will prevent the disease. These cgencies say that a hog properly treated with a potent Benim and virulent virus will not contract hog cholera and a hog so treated is immune for life.
