FARM RURHAU NOTES C. It. Young, County Agent A very bad complication of hog cholera nnd tuberculosis was found tho past week on the J. J. McAllister farm west of Dakota City. A car load of hogs recently purchased through the Sioux City stock yards by Thomas Hartnett, of Jackson, also uevalopeu a bad caso of cholera. Theso hogs were vaccinated at tho yards but for some unknown reason "broke." Persons buying hogs to be vaccinated at the yards will do well to see in PERSON that tho hogs are given the double treatment nnd that a sufficient amount of serum is ad ministered. To do this it is not ne cessary to know nil about the meth ods of vaccination. Tho ability to fairly well estimate the weight of tho pig and to follow tho directions on every bottlo should equip a person with enough knowledge to superviso the work. In some cases hogs com ing from theso centers have only been given tho single treatment, which cannot bo relied upon for moro than three or four weeks.

Lovro Would Hnro Our Winners ltnlso Cnuc Inspects n .Sorghum Mill on Ills Vn cntlon Trip. Last spring thero was an effort on tho partof our good county agent Mr. C. R. Young, to get somo of tlio farmers of tho county interested in somo sorghum. So far as I hnva learned nothing cano of It. Whila driving in Iowa n few days ago I passed two mills and visited ono to get some of the sweet. And in a few minutes conversation I learned the crop was making two hundred gallons of sorghum to tho acre. It was selling nt tho mill for a dollar and a quarter n gallon, nnd was soil ing liko Fords, nt two for twolvo hundred. I managed to get ono gal lon. I was told that pcoplo drove there from ten miles around to car ry it nwny at thnt price. I was shown a lot of receptacles which wero to bo filled, and was told that none of them would bo filled. Tho cost per acre was estimated to mo nt fifty dollars. Tho cano I saw going" thru tho mill was from tho size of a lead pencil to that of your finger, nnd nnd not been stripped as is usually done. When I remarked about that, I was told it was raised for foddor, but it was such a valuablo crop tho owner brought it to tho mill to be 'made- into sorghum. 'ints product could bo marketed at your door. Pcoplo stop for oory thing elso ns thoy drivo by, nnd thoy would for this, too, if it were to bo had. And according to what was told mo thero is n bit of profit in tho sorghum to mako it worth while. I have been told of pcoplo looking for just this thing in our community this fall.

What does our country ask of her citizens today moro than their loyal ty' To know whero every man stands and to know tho mnn gives his support to tho government. Who is it but what wants every man to bo squarc.out .and out American 100 per cent. That is what wo expect, and demand. I hoard of a mnn of Gorman extraction who said in n public place not long ago, "I would liko to say something, but I daro not." What sort of American citi zenship is that? Should his citizen ship not bo taken away from him? Who doesn't despiso that spirit, nnd honor tho prcssuro thnt makes him keep his disloyal remarks unspoken. Wo hold this sentiment becauso wo lovo our country nnd her institutions. Loyntty nnd patriotism is what is being taught our pcoplo moro than over before, becauso wo need n stronger spirit. Wo shall havo it, and it is to bo hoped tho teaching and appeal will continue long after tho war Is over. What does tho kingdom of God want of her citizens moro than loy alty. To know whoro every man stands nnd to be suro of his support morally and financially. Thnt is tho way tho kingdom of God lives nmong men. And if wo nro not loyal citi zens our citizenship is taken nwny from us, we loso our rights to our salvntion.
