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.

u wide variation in farmers' incomes.

Gngo county man clonrcd only $517
oil' of 180 ncrcs. Both men had land
of nenrly cciunl vnluo per acre. Tho
difference seems to have been in
stock raising. Tho man making tho

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.

Every boy from 15 years and seven
months to 18 years will be required

gardening, woodwork, and poultry.
The classes will lie so arranged that
the student may spend more than
one-half of her time in practical
work on homo making topics, but if
a student desires to do so much may
spend more time on the ngriculturea!
subjects.
All women over 19 years of ago
may enroll without regard to tho
previous school training. Any girl
or woman who needs tho work may
enroll. Thero is nbsolutcly no high

course in which laboratory material

vary in prices. Board may bo ob
tained in tho Farm cafeteria or in a
boarding house. Tho prices rnngo
from $0.00 per weok up. A number
of students do liirht housekeenimr.
Thero is a inrge demand for girls to
work their way nnd any person who
wishes to do so is assisted in obtain
ing work which will pay a part or nil
of the expenses depending upon the
amount of time which is given to
tho work. The aamo will be six

Ltitlioiaii Church Notes
By Rev. C. R. Lowe.
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. No ono who snys just
"Lord," "Lord," shall onter, not tho
ono who mnkes pious talk, but tlio
man who is thorough in his profes
sion, tho man "with puro hands nnd
