the boys in these grades wil have an opportunity to do bench work in wood. The course in sewing begins with simple stitches and leads, in three years, to the making of all ordinary wearing apparel. The bench work develops by easy steps from the making of simple joints to cabinet making. Only a limited amo mt of time can be put upon this work, perhaps one lesson a weel, but much can be accomplished in a year. The attic of the school >uilding is capacious. It is being fitted up for a workshop. The new school building is now in use from the basement t > the garret. The school, like bus ness, should be run for the very gn a test efficiency.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM OUR FRHS ABROAD Montreaux,’ Switzerland, Aug. 10, 1911. Syracuse Journal: Our last letter to the Journal left us at Fishgard, Wales, from which place we went to London, remaining there a few days sight-seeing • and then crossed the North Sea to Rotterdam, Holland, then after a day at the Hague and Amsterdam, the city with a canal in every street, we proceeded to Hanover, Germany, a very beautiful and typical German city. We went from there to a small village 50 miles to the north, to visit a relative and also the boyhood home of my father. The people received us very kindly that occupy the old home, now 200 years old, where my grandparents lived during their early childhood. Os their three children, one of whom still lives in the little village and with him we spent ten day s very pleasantly seeing real German country and village life and taking pictures of the “well with the old oaken bucket,” the long pole and balance beam with which the water is lifted, the old school house interior and exterior, unchanged in the last hundred years. Windmills are numerous in Germany, but are more so in Holland. Our next stop was at Essen, where the great Krupp gun works is located, then to Antwerp, where there were more stylishly dressed women than in any citv that we have visited outside of America. From Antwerp we went to Brussels, where the ball was given in Wellington’s honor the night before he defeated NapoMm at Waterloo. We proceeded to Waterloo, went to the top of a mound 150 feet high built by the English, and our guide gave us details of the battle. If the happens to be an Englishman, then Johnny Bull gets all the gtory for the victory. Our carriage driver being a Prussian, told us with great flourish that it was only when the Prussians became actively engaged in the battle that Napoleon’s doom was sealed. On the return trip to Brussels we bought picture post cards at the house occupied by Victor Hugo while writing his famous book, “Les Miserables.” In this book is given a very accurate account of the battle of 1816. A five day stop at Paris was very interesting. Paris has days, and also nights—come and see us when we return and we will tell you many things about Paris. America is not in it for gowns and sensations. At Neuchatel, Switzerland, with its beautiful lake and the Alps all aroqnd, we spent a few days quietly, resting fiom the strenuous Paris experience. Sunday, August 6, found us at Geneva, a summer resort of international fame. Thousands of sight-seers surge up and down the avenues. Our attention was called to a monoplane passing over the city. It was a swift traveler and soon disappeared in the western sky. Then again late in the afternoon, while enjoying the scenery along the Rhine, another and swifter one passed, also due westward. The next morning we boarded a steamer and took a 4J4 hour ride across Lac Leman, with the Alps heaped up high on either side, to Montreaux, where we took a train to St. Bernard, rather half way up, and with a carriage completed the trip to the abode of many Monks, where we were treated royally and next morning early we climbed to higher points, from which we saw Mont Blanc and many snow-covered mountains. You have read of the St. Bernard dog, they were everywhere to be seen. This finds us at Montreaux again from which place we expect to go

, to Inteilaken, Vienna, Venice, Florence, Rome, Algiers, Gibraltar, Mad- , rid, and then take ship for the best country that the sun shines on, is | the well weighed opinion of Yours truly, Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Fick. WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE? Canvassers employed in taking a church census of South Bend met with a variety of excuses proffered by men to explain their non-attend-ance at the many houses of worship within easy access of their homes. In commenting on this rather vital ’ question which to a greater or less degree confronts every town where it has been difficult to attract the men to divine worship, the South Bend News says: “It will hardly be denied that a man should have a good reason for absenting himself from divine worship. He should be physically un able to attend, his duties should be of such a nature that he cannot go. his isolation must be such that he cannot get to a church in time ft r services, or he must confess that he simply does not want to go. Prejudice against the minister, lack of res spect for some of the members of the church, objection to particular forms of worship, humble attire, lack of money for the contribution be accepted as valid excuses.” This the forward movement seeks to correct. The mode of procedure is to classify the men of the city with respect to the various excuses for non-attendance and their expressed preferences as to creed, with the view to getting into the closest possible relationship with them and to eliminate all silly, invalid excuses for their dereliction. The effort is directed toward compelling them to be frank and honest in relation to a subject that is of vital interest to the community. Mumbling evasion will be discounte nanced. If the so-called faults of the preferred church are clearly brought out, an effort will be made to correct them and thereby eliminate the last grounds for absence. All these movements, seeking as they do to bring the men into the church, ate meeting with the support of all elements, except that which is constitutionally opposed to all upliftment of any nature whatever. What is your excuse for not going to church? Seriously, will it bear investigation? Or do you belong to that vast army of men who hum and haw and dance around on one foot when the minister puts the question to them squarely? Tendered Informal Party. The Goshen Democrat says; An informal party was given at the Inn, Wawasee, Wednesday evening in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Willlamson of Muncie who havs been spending the summer there. They are much pleased with this popular summer resort and will return next year. Mr. Williamson is the managing editor of the Muncie Star and is one of the best known and most popular newspaper men in Indiana.

TREATISE ON ANTIHOG CHOLERA SEBUM Anti hog cholera serum has been produced by the Purdue Experiment Station for the past three years. About 50,000 hogs have been vaccinated and treated. The results of this work have been highly satisfactory. Reports sent to this station by farmers who have used serum on their hogs show thet the average loss in the infected herds treated was 9.5 per cent., an 1 following the vaccination of the healthy herds in these infected localities. 2.25 per cent. In neighborhoods where hog cholera infection is present, all heiils in the near vicinity or on adjeining farms to the cholera herds s.iould be vaccinated. This precautk p, if taken, would prevent the spread of the disease and result in the saving of the exposed herds. Anti-hog cholera serum is chiefly a preventive agent. Because of the losses that sometimes occur in the badlyinfected herds that are treated and the large doses required, we refuse to furnish serum for the treatment of such herds. As practically 1 11 of the vaccination work is done in cholera infected localities and exposed herds, it is very necessary to determine whether the exposed hogs are infected before giving them virulent cholera blood. In hog cholera, the animal is feverish several days before it stops eating or manifests marked • symptoms of disease. For thi; reason the body temperatures of all hogs should be taken before injecting the virulent blood. If, the animal has a body temperature of IC4 degrees or more, serum alone :n an increased dose should be used. Virulent blood should not be given when fever is present, whether it be from hog cholera or any other cause. Failure to practice the above precaution has resulted in heavy loss in a number of hedrs where serum has been used. The most desirable size at v hich to vaccinate hogs is when they weigh from 40 to 60 pounds. At this size the dose of serum is ecm- i paratively small and the young hogs can be easily handled and rendered permanently immune. In infected localities it is sometimes necessary to vaccinate small pigs. : This is frequently practiced, but it may be necessary to re-vaccinate

them within a few months as the immunity is not permanent. It is essential that the herd be given good care during the after vaccination and treatment. Hypodermic syringes appropriate for the work should bo used and these should be carefully cleaned and disinfected before using. The inner sides of the thighs where the injections are made should be washed and disinfected. After vaccination the hogs should be kept out of dirty pens, manure piles and muddy wallows, in order to prevent infection of the small wound made by the hypodermic needle. The herd should be given clean, dry pens, nee from dust and well bedded, and fed a light ration for a few days following the vaccination. When the abcesses form, they should receive the necessary treatment. Bad)/ infected herds should not be trea ,ed with serum. If the infection huracent, serum may be used, bus in addition the herd should receive proper treatment. It is impossible for this station to produce sufficient serum to fill the orders received. Requisition blanks are furnished the veterinarians, and orders for serum are mrde through them. It is necessary to charge for the serum and virulent blood, as this line of work rcceiv e; no state support. The ave age cost of vaccinating hogs has been about 60 cents per head—H. H.
