THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD
TUBERCULOSIS OF HOG HER
Sanitary Lot and Clean Feed Are En
emies of This Disease Slow In
Itr Development.
(Prepared by the United SUtea Depart
tnent of Agriculture.)
Tuberculosis la rapidly lncreaslni
among hogs la the United States, an
very owner of swine should be on hi:
guard against the Introduction of thli
aerlous malady upon his premises. Un
like bog cholera this disease Is lnsid
lous In Its attack and slow In Its de
elorment so that it may be presen
for months In a herd without excltlni
the least suspicion of the owner, an(
will be revealed to him only at the tinu
of slaughter. Until receut years tuber
culosls has been looked upon as of un
common occurrence and only of lnipor
tance from a meat-Inspection stand
point ; but today It must be recognized
as a serious menace to the owner of
hogs, and especially to the one who al
lows bis hogs to run with cattle thw
have not been proved to be free of tu
btrculosls, or who feeds them upon
Donsterlllzed products as part of theli
ration. As tuberculosis of hogs Is chief
ly contracted through eating Infected
feed, the Importance of this statement
fj obvious. -
Tuberculosis of hogs Is closely asao
dated with the same disease in cattle
the reason being apparent when one
Considers the close relations of these
two species of animals upon nearly ev
ery farm. Tuberculous cattle may scat
ter great numbers of tubercle bacilli
with their excrement; cows that are
tuberculous may produce contaminated
milk that Is subsequently fed to pigs;
and carcasses of cattle that have died
from tuberculosis are sometimes eaten
by bogs.
The feeding of hogs upon creamery
refuse Is also a very frequent source
Of Infection. In this way the milk of
a single cow with a tuberculous udder,
If sent to a public creamery, may
spread the disease to a number ol
bogs, and may also infect many farms
that have never previously been con
taminated with tuberculosis.
An equally dangerous source of In
fection is likewise observed in the
methods which obtain among some of
the small country slaughter houses. It
Is not uuusual for these houses to get
rid of their blood. Intestines, 'viscera,
and other inedible parts by feeding
th?m to hogs, a herd of which is usual
ly kept on the premises. This custom
is pregnant with danger and serves to
various contagious and parasitic dis
eases, particularly tuberculosis.
Ilogs are also susceptible to tuber
culoub Infection from affected person
and poultry, but these sources are un

doubtedly of far less moment to thl
bog owner than those existing in a herd
of tuberculous cattle. 1
Intestinal worms, lung worms, and
sklh parasites also levy a burdensome
tax upon the profits of hog raising
Absolute cleanliness wlU be found val
uable in preventing add controlllni
these parasitic troubles, as well as tht
score serious diseases bog cholera and
tuberculosis.
LABOR REQUIRED BY SHEEP
i
While Continuous It Is Not Heavy
Can Well Be Performed by Boy
Incapable of Hard Work,
While the labor required by sheep
raising Is continuous. It Is not heavy,
and if properly supervised and mad
interesting by financial return can well
be performed by boys Incapable oi
other kinds of farm work. This fad
should be given consideration In man
sections where farm labor Is scarce.
IMPORTANCE OF FARM TEAMS
Unless Animals Are Properly Cared
For and Fed They Are Unfit
for Hard Work.
The teams are far more Important
In war farming than Is generally be
lieved. Unless the teams are proper
ly fed and cared for they will not be
able to do good work. Every farmei
should take pains to care for bis tesnu
and get them la th best possible coo
dltion,

ANOTHER VICTORY
By MARGARET HOLMES
"That's a yellower perch, Sally, that
one Is." The old man. Sally's grand
father, dropped a squirming flh Into
the boat. stuck a stubby forefinger Into
a tomato can at his feet, scooped up
a long, wriggling worm and proceeded
to drape It upon the fish hook.
It was a June evening, between sun
set and dusk. The girl sitting beside
the aged man In the boat looked trou
bled. For a few moments she watched
the yellow perch flopping about at her
feet, then gingerly she lifted It and
slipped It back Into the water.
"Why do water lilies dote their
petals when the sun goes down, grand
father?" she asked.
The old man, fumbling with the bait
and hook, tlgnored her question.
"A dead worm ain't much temptation
to fish," he soliloquized; "always put
the bait on so It covers the hook, an
always leave a bit of the worm wrig
gling at the ends."
He oast the line again, and the girl
watched It as It went quivering out
! toward the shining green leaves of the
Illy pad.
"That's all he thinks about." she
thought, "that and the price of lum
ber." "The trouble with grandfather Is."
she reflected, "that he has a pile of
money and he doesn't know how to
spend It, and people call hlra the 'Lum
ber King,' and he thinks that he Is
some kind of a monarch who knows
It all, and. really, he doesn't know
hardly anything. I guess he has a lot
to learn aboutabout some things."
A bunch of limp water lilies lay In
the girl's lap, and she lifted them to
her face.
"He forgets," she confided to the
lilies, "that I am 20. He thinks that
because I am all he has, and because,
, some day, HI be very rich, and because
that away' back In '49 he and Ned's
grandfather had a quarrel he thinks
. because of all that that Ned Ned
Burrett Is not good enough for me.
He won't allow me to see Ned; he
opens every letter that comes Into the
house, and ever since Ned returned
from France, a week ago, grandfather
doesn't let me out of his sight. He Just
hates the Burretts, and the fact that
the Burretts are the very nicest people,
, and that Ned has covered himself and
his family with glory and has come
home decorated decorated with ever
so many medals that fact Impresses
my grandfather not at all. He sim
ply" Her eyes had caught a swirl on the
water, a whip of the tautened line as It
swung upward, and then, hlirh up In the
air, another sight caught and held the
young rebellious eyes." It was the sight
of a huge flying thing.
"Look, look, grandfather, look at the
airplane!" . '
' The fish spon the line was forgotten.
The wary old eyes of Sam Densmore
were beholding a new, strange thing.
The big plane hud begun to swoop
lower, lower It came, droning like a
million bees.
"Looks as If It was comln' down In
my meadow"," the old man looked per
plexed. "You go up to the house, Sally
an' an' I'll go an see."
With a few strokes Sum Densmore
beached the boat and scrambled out.
Through a tangle of cedar and swamp
oak he took a short cut to the meadow,
j Sally, her eyes shining now, tripped
along toward the house. Now and then
she lautrhed and kissed the lilies In her
hand. From the veranda she watched
the two men standing in the meadow
below.
For a long time she watched them,
her heart pounding and a prayer upon
, her lips. Then, when It was almost
dark, she saw them climb the hill to
gether, and she went out to meet them,
for sne knew that a gallant young offi
cer had won. another victory.
Chinese Trees Like Ours.
Sepurated by 8,000 miles of ocean
and 4,000 miles of land, the eastern
part of North America and the forest
areas of China present some striking
resemblances In vegetation. Accord
ing to the Journal of Heredity, three
pedes of forest trees that grow wild
In both China and the United States,
but nowhere else, are particularly
noteworthy. They are the tulip pop
lar (Lirlodendrou sp.), the sassafras
(Sassafras sp.) and the hickory
(Carya sp.). It has been decided by
geologists that China and America
were at one time united by land.
Hence the trees Just mentioned oprob
ably grew continuously from China to
the er.stern United States, with dif
ferences between different localities
no greater that those now to be found
between various parts of the United
States. When the land connection was
severed conditions were such that the
trees became centered In the eastern
part of this country and In parts of
China where the climatic conditions
were similar. The growth was hence
forth discontinuous, Broken by the
Pacific ocean and the arid plains of
the far West Under such conditions,
the Chinese and American species, al
though far apart, have remained vir
tually Identical through hundreds of
generations. Youth's Companion.
