County Agent's Field Notes
BY C. R. YOUNG. ,
There has been so much con', 3
voray relative to all county az 1
turnl agents vaccinating hogs .
buying serum that I am horow
quoting from a lottor by Prof. C. V.
Pugsloy under date of March 28.
Prof. Pugsloy Is director of the Ex
tension department of the State
University, under which all county
agents of the state work. Tho letter
reads as follows: "Tho law of tho
state of Nebraska permits farmers
to use anti-hog cholera serum and
virus on their own hogs and tho
hogs of neighbors. These farmers
have a right, therefore, to demand
of the stato educational forces in
struction in tho proper method of
its administration, and state and
government workers should always
be willing to give such demonstra
tions if they aro competent. If not,
they should, if possible, secure the
services of some stato or government
worker who can give tho informa-
tlon desired. It is not expected
that county agents and extension
workers other than veterinary
workers, will bo capable of acting in
tho capacity of licensed veterinar
ians. , Furthermore, it is not expect
ed that county agents, or other ex
tension workers shall vaccinate hogs
in a wholesalo manner, for if they
did they would have timo for nothing-
elso and would not even bo able
to render service to all people ask
ing for this kind of work. In con
ference with tho chief of tho bureau
of animal Industry and with Dr. Cos
ford, . representative of tho bureau
of animal industry working coopera
tively with the Nobraska extension
- service, it has been agreed that tho
representatives of tho bureau as
signed to tho stato of Nobraska for
hog cholera work give demonstra
tions to farmers and others in tho
use of anti-hog cholera serum and
virus and shall make talks on the
necessity of sanitation and tho im
portance of promptly taking charge
of such diseases: County agents
should get in touch with these men
and keep us informed of the co
operation rendered. Extension work
ers as such havo no power in con
nection with control measures, for
this b'elongs to tho control and reg
ulatory forces of tho stato and gov
ernment. Tho representatives of
tho bureau of animal industry, how
oer, are assisting in this work and
aro now qualified to make diagnosis
of swlno diseases. Wo aro working
lnl close harmony with tho Hvo stock
sanitary board, and must carry out
every law of tho state of Nebraska
and rule of tho sanitary board.
The sanitary board desires a report
of every demonstration given and
the blanks for Buch reports can be
secured by writing to tho secretary
or the board, Dr. .T. S. Anderson,
Stato House, Lincoln, Neb. Copies
of tho rules of tho board can also
bo secured. County agents and oth
er extension workers should never
under any circumstances, buy or sell
beruni or virus. If serum and virus
Is, to bo handled in tho county it
should bo handled by tho farm, bu
reau and not by tho county agent.
This is in common with 'tho recog
nized rule that government em
ployees unless specifically empower
ed by law to handlo tho money,
under no circumstances act as finan
cial agent." Tho bureau of animal
Industry has no representative in
this section but should they place
one hero wo shall feel free to make
use of him.
With tho advont of spring and
tho coming of tho first sprigs of
green alfalfa, comes reports of cat
tle bloats. Last summer Mr. Fred
Culbertson had a cow to bloat on
pasture. Ho was told to place a few
drops of turpentine in tho animal's
nostrils, which ho did, with tho re
sult that in a few minutes tho ani
mal was again all right. Somo timo
later another uniiuul was badly
bloated but was soon relieved by tho
same treatment. This remedy seems
worthy of consideration.
Two good mineral mixtures for
hogs, both of which may bo fed in
self-feeders aro:
No. 1. Charcoal, 80 parts; sod
ium sulphate, 12 parts; sulphur, 2
parts; copperas (Iron sulphato) 2
parts; poke root, 2 parts; May applo
root, 2 parts.
No. 2. 2 parts of salt, 2 parts of
sulphur, 2 parts of glauber salts,
1 part copper sulphato (bluo stono),
4 parts wood charcoal.
Necrotic enteritis Is becbmlng
very common In this section of Ne
braska. Copper sulphato is ono of
tho best known medicines for this
disease It might bo that No. 2 will
help to kcop out this trouble.
Notice to Breeders.

stallion "Duke" from the Jacob Ha

Soldier's Letter
From Stott Neiswanger.
Fort Monroe, Va., March 29, 1918.
Dear Dad:
Received your lette and box today
and it was sure some treat, but en
tirely too nice for a bunch of rough
soldiers. I don't want you to go to
such an expense. I received the
Herald last Sunday. It is a nice old
paper to look over. Will try to
write oftener, but they keep us pret
ty busy. We are all drilling hard
and they said we had got along fast
er than any troops that ever ar
rived in this fort. We have some of
the best officers and all the non-com's
are southern boys and sure treat us
fine.
Got a letter from Nana the other
day. said she was getting along fine,
but I think the poor girl is lonesome.
I wrote her a long letter. Wrote
Kathleen but have received no an
swer as yet.
I suppose John Stinson has been
near as there has been six battleships
laying in the harbor the last few
days and the Jackies come ashore
and play ball.
We signed the pay roll today and
will get mustered in Sunday, get our
money the 5th to 9th. I was pretty
hard up so did ono follows washing
for him to-night which brought me
in 55 cents. My insurance takes
most of my wages this month as I
have to pay for February and March.
The government makes you take it
out, at least they made me.
I am afraid I would not take a
very good picture as the govern
ment is short of clothes and wo take
what we can get. I have two pair
size ll's cow hide hob-nail shoes.
They sure keep you from flying in
air. I want baby girl to write me a
letter and to thank aunt Lizzie for
her kind offer to make me a scarf.
Give my love to Mr. and Mrs. Haase,
to aunt Esther and all. Lovingly,
Stott.

Clean-up Campaign
For Our Town
D. M. Nelswancer said today,
"The best evidence of public spirit
is the interest shown in matters of
this kind."
"It is 6ur duty to promote conser
vation and production id every way
possible, to conserve civic ideals as
well as health and property, and to
increase commercial and industrial,
as well as food production, that all
may be enabled as well as urged to
save for our country's need.
"Cleanliness, thrift and civic pride
are the essentials for homes and
towns, beautiful and safe from the
ravnges of disease, fire, storm and
sun.
"I am heartily in favor of a Clean
up Campaign for Dakota City and it
is time some action was being taken
if wo aro to keep abreast of the times.
"We should not bo left behind in
a movement that has already proved
its worth for several years in Dakota
City when it has been put in opera
tion. "A small amount of energy used
in this direction would do more to
attract the kind of people that we
want here than anything else that
we could do, and in making this a
better place to live in. Swat the fly.
Make cleaner alleys and yards. Plant
trees. Collect and utilize waste.
Develop a community spirit that
would insure a cleaner, healthier and
more beautiful city.
