The most common of these predisposing factors are intestinal parisites (worms). Improper feeding, unbalanced rations, insanitary surroundings. attack of some other'disease, or any condition which reduces the vitality of the animals. Spread of the Disease The virus of hog cholera may be carried from fann to farm on the wheels of vehicles and upon the feel of animals such a horses, cattle, dog*, chickens, pigeons and buuards. Streams running through premises where the disease exists or into which carcasi.es of cholera-infected hogs have been thrown, will carry Infection hogs having access later In their course. The Improperly buried ol incompleb ly burned carcasses of hlgs which have died of cholera constitute one of the greatest menaces that can be encountered by the hog raisers in any coremunlty. Dogs dig these carcasses oul ot the ground, contaminating their feet bodies and then drag them through the neighborhood, spreading the infection about premise* in general. including those occnpicd by ceptlble hogs. Prevention cf Hog Cholera The factors Involved in preventing the introduction of hog cholera into a herd mry be classified as precautionary measures, sanitation and varci-

of hog cholera.’

Precautionary Measures Precautionary measures include all of those wh..h in any way prevent th< coming of hog cholera virus to the herd or premises. The location of the hog lots should be some distance from I he public highway and from stream? of water. No trespassing should be permittc.-] i the hog lots. Unnecessary visits to other herds should be avoided. If a neighbor has hogs sick from any cause, do not visit his farm, mit him to visit yours, for the disease may later prove to be hog cholera. Never i-ermlt hogs to run at large or a public highway. Never corral u stray hog and fine It with the herd. Do not introduce recently-purchased hogs or returned exhibition stock into the herd until they have been isolated and observed for a period of three weeks at least; even then they should be dipped in an antiseptic solution before they are permitted to mingle with other hogs, as they may cany in fectlon on their feet or bodies. Do not purchase or keep on the premises an unthrifty, unhealthy oi runt” pig. I)o not drive Into ’he hog lots from the public rood. Confine your deg and insist on youi neighbor, doing likewise, especially if l.og cholera exists In the neighbor

hood.

Keep th - hogs free from worms and lice, and remedy any Insanitary conditions which reduce their vitality and

The Furrow News and Views About the Farm

Protect Tomato Plants; Vegetable a Household Stand-by With Pennsylvania's acreage of tomatoes smaller than usnal this year, on account of the shortage of farm labor, the Bureau of Plant Industry. Department of Agriculture, warns the growers of the State, both commercial and the small truck gardner. to protbe tomato plants against destructive diseases. There are several diseases which attack the tomato plant and these can be largely overcome by spraying the plants at Intervals of ten days or two weeks, with bordeauv mixture. The growth of the tomato appetite. »t only In Philadelphia, but the entire United States. Is one of the romance-’ of the dinner table. Up until 1830 the tomato was believed to be poisonous although the plants were grown for ornamental purpose* and the tomat i was known as the ”iove apple.” About 830 the vegetable was first esten, but as not until after the Civil War that it set out upon Its conquest which has placed it In one form or another, on nearly every dinner table in America. The tomato is of South American origin and Is a member of the Solnnceae family, of which the poisonou* belladonna, to the tobacco ard the pc tato are also members. The first tomatoes grown in this country were little larger than cherries and only through the application of science has the vegetable reached its present high standard. El.minate the Use of Low Grade Fertilizers That the fanners of Pennsylvania are losing thousands of dollars each month through the purchase of lowgrade fertilizers. Is the warning sent out by the Bureau of Chemistry, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture The usually accepted lint of demarkatlon between high and low-grade fer-

tilizers is 12 per cent of total plan: food, including either nitrogen, or phosphoric add or potash, separately t combination. The spring Inspection of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Chemistry indicates that the proper tlon of high-grade fertilizers on sabin the State has greatly increased ove' the low-grade brands. The unsuccessful farmer Is the one wKb purchases tne low-grade fertilizers. be'-ause the product Is cheaper and then applies from 100 to 200 pounc 1 .* to the acre. Plants do net ha*-e the power to walk around the farm seeking food and on such an insufficient diet they do not thrive, lu some of the successful potato, onion and tobacco districts of the State as high as 1500 pounds of high-grade fertilizer are used to the acre and the results obtained fully justify the expenditure. What Make* the Peaches Wormy Did you ever split a peach open and find a worm curled up close to the pit and wonder how it came to be there? That worm is the larva of the snout beetle, a little dark colored beetle about one-fifth of an inch long with a snout that is half as long, that is used for digging holes in the fruit in which the eggs are laid. The plum curculio iu proper name, and It infests petenes. plums, cherries and apple* iui fruit gardens and some wild plants. It is too late now to stop this year’s damage, but get ready for next year. Keep all ground in orchard clean cultivated until Angust 1st. That will break up the cells in which the worms transform to adults, so lessening the number to emerge next year. Ttao Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn rylvanla Department of Agriculture. Harrisburg, will gladly send spraying schedules to tell when to spray to catch those not killed by cultivation.

of America attended the funeral of Prof. James Hervey Hyslop, secretary the American Society for Psychical Research, who died from blood clot. In Upper Montclair, N. J.. recently. after several months’ Illness. Sir Oliver Lodge called Prof. Hya lop "the chief representative of psychical research In America. Believers in the power of the disembodied spirit show unusual interev. in his death because as founder and spokes-, man for the society he worked out by study and had published the belief in spirit contact and he printed an count of a personal experience. In which he said he had talked with hi* wife, who had been dead some years. Thus both reason and practical result confirmed him in the assurance that a spirit could talk with the living. Spirits Fall to Carry Out Stipulation* Early in th« life of his society, a dozen years ago or more, at a gather ing in his house of member friend* and investigators, each of those present wrote a note, not diRcloslng Its contents to the others, sealed It ani placed H in a special compartment of the soe'ety safe, at the residence. A mutual stipulation was that none of the note* should be disturbed or unsealed until the departed spirit u f one of the writers should appear to cue or more of the survivors and reveal the contents with the message from the spirit world. The several writers agreed that If message and rote were alike, v. substantially so. that conformity would be accepted as proof that a spirit could, of its own will, communL ate with friends on

earth.

Some of the note writers havg died, end no sign has been reported frero

them.

Prof. Hyslop made light of this apparent neglect, which, he said, was merely negative testimony and worthless. the Implication being that per haps the writers, in their lifetime. ha < lost interest In the matter, or at mos.. that they couM not l>reak the restraint of their ’’spirit control." As it withe purpose of the writers to see what their spirits might do without invokin': the help of a medium. Prof. Hyslop regarded the failure of the spirit.* thus •■eleajed to reappear to any of the party as merely an incident in a scientific Inquiry', nowise affecting the power of couimunicatli n In some form. Survivors of the note-writing pany have fel*. through all the Intervening years, that the real text would com ■ with the spirit of Prof. Hyslop. fo' while sth. r» might slip or yield to restraint. his spirit—In the interest and for the credit of the cause to which his high talents had been devoted— would make special effort to keep th-

Electrical Helps A device for lighting and magnifying the copy being read by the typewriter operator is being developed by a Rochester concern. The devicilluminates one line of copy at a time. A safety cartridge fuse remover, made of an extremely tough insulating material and resembling a pair of pliers in design, has ts-en invented to remove and replace cartridge fuses of a half to one and a half inches in diameter. There are fifty or more household devices that can be used cn the house lighting system, such as electric irons, small stoves, toasters, chafing dishes, water heaters, percolators, washing machines, water pumps, fans, sewing machines, meat grinders, bread mixers. buffing and grinding machines. The guest-room should have the liall on the end of *.he pull-chain painted with radium paint so it will advertise 1U presence to the guest who gets up in the night to close the window and then cannot find his or her way back to bed. Other thoughful hosts see that the switch button is so mated to save embarrassment and annoyance to the guest, so there is no pawing around in the dark in search of the light. An e ectric wrench has been developed for speeding up the work around automobile garages and shopi where most of this work is done. This appliance may also be used as a portable drill, screwdriver, buffer or grinder, and costs from two to five cents an hour to operate. A feature of the device is the special clutch with an adjustable pressure of 10 to 60 pounds, by means of which the nut or bolt is tightened to the desired pressure, after which the power Is automatically shut off.
