UEWAltE OF HOG CHOLERA CURBS Despite the fact that "hog pow ders" are being advertised in the state which are claimed to cure hog cholera, there is no such cure known. The serum treatment originated by Drs. Dorset, McBride, and Niles of the United States Department of Agriculture has proved to be the on ly successful means of combating this disease, according to a bulletin of the College of Agriculture. WAYS OF SAVING THE CORN CROP No one knows whether the greater part of tho corn crop will mature or not, but it is probably safe to say that a considerable percentage will be damaged to a greater or less de gree even if frosts do not come until very late. With such prospects in view, it is believed at the College of Agriculture that the making of im mature corn into silage or fodder this season will be a highly commen dable practice. Owing to damage from hail in certain sections the making of silage may prove the more profitable. SAVED 438 HOGS nnrlmr the month of Aueust. the pnuntv agricultural ascent of Madi son county vaccinated 50-1 hogs for cholera, and 87 per cent of the num lived. OftheC04 vaccinated, how ever, 194 had high temperatures. In other words, only 3.1 per cent of those having normal temperatures died, while 28.3 per cent of those having high temperatures suscumb ed to the disease. August was not regarded as a particularly trouble some month in the county, and a comparatively small number were Vaccinated. MAY ENTER SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AT IB Tho University School of Agricul ture at the University Farm an nounces that beginning with this fall term the minimum age limit for en trance will be reduced from 16 to 15 years. This will enable many boys and girls to enter the School of Ag riculture directly from the eighth grado without stopping to spend one or two years in high school. The School of Agriculture will open 0& tober 11. 1915. Its school term is six and one-half months in length. The prospects are good for a large enrollment this year. DREEDING AN HARLY WEEAT A now beardod wheat different from any other kind known to exist and possibly one that may be of great economic importance to Ne braska has been bred at the Agri cultural Experiment Station of Ne braska. It is a cross botween Tur key Red and Big Frame wheats, but unlike other crosses oi these two va rieties is very unlikoiits parents in several resnecta. Altho of not as good quality as Turkey Red wheat, it has averaged for the past four years 2i bushels more in yield. It does not grow as rank as Turkey Red and does not ordinarily lodge. Because of its early ripening, it was practi cally ready for harvest this season when other wheat was beginning to rust badly on account or heavy rain fall. Its earliness is also held to be somewhat of nn insurance against hail, by the Department of Experi mental Agronomy which is conduct ing the experiment. The new wheat will be given more extensive testa at the station and thruout the state, and if the wheat continnes to be promising, it is expected to bo of great importance to the wheat-grow ing sections oi the less humid por tions of Nebraska. FARM RECEIPTS MAY APPEAR SMALL AND YET HE LARGE The total receipts for 1914 on farms typical of a largo part of eastern Nebraska averaged $2,989 per farm. Of this total. $874 came from tho natural yearly increase in live stock, feed, and crops held for sale at the close of the year. The increase in the value of young stock constitutes about half the annual receipts from this source. The fact that the cash receipts are often small discourages most of those who do not figme closely on their farm business. One farmer decided he was not making anything, bo ho sola out. Tho re turnB showed that he was getting ahead faster than he expected. Be fore he had time to move to town ho was back to farming. This is an ex pensive way of taking an inventory. Total receipts are easily deter mined when farmers keep an annual inventory and a record of farm sales. In connection with the Farm Man agement Survey Work, the Exten sion Service will have inventory blanks, and farm record books avail able for distribution in time to cover next year's business. These blanks are being prepared in harmony with the ideas of Nebraska farmers who have met with the greatest success in keeping practical farm records. Looking Backward.
