To the Ford Auto Company,
Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Sirs:
I was reading a few advertisements of different papers on autos,
pertaining to what they have done in this war. But nothing about
our littlo Ford. But I'm writing you a few facts, which 'arc as
follows:
In Franco 700 cars out of 1,000 were Fords.
In Italy 850 cars out of 1,000 were Fords.
In Egypt 99G cars out of 1,000 were Fords.
In Meso 999 cars out of 1,000 were Fords.
Under British capture, the first car in Bagdad was a Ford.
The first car to cross the Persian Mountains was a Ford.
The first car in the GENUINE Garden of Eden was a Ford.
The first car in the Holyland was a Ford.
Lines of communication contained Fords by the hundreds from
Bagdad to tho Black Sea.
I have seen the Fords used as tanks, armoured moving forts,
electric light plants, water pumps, ambulances, supply cars and lots
of 'other things, and they were always ready for anything at any
time.
These statements are facts as I have served in action all through
the countries named. And I name the Ford the best auto in the
world. The-Iron-Mule-With-A-Kick.

City Journal, 10: Three booze run
ners from Sioux City were captured
here last night and 118 gallons of
whisky was confiscated, but not until
one of the runners had deliberately
crashed into a car operated by An
drew Hanson, an agent of the federal
department of justice, crushing one
of Mr. Hanson's legs at tho hip and
inflicting internal injuries. Agent
Hanson was placed on a stretcher and
taken in a motor car to the home of
a sister residing in Sioux Falls, S.
D. The men arrested gave their
names as S. Kozeberg, A. W. DpVore
and Ben Haaker, all of Sioux City.
Mr. Hanson, with two other federal
agents, has been here for a week,
their object being to head off boot
leggers from Trosky, Minn. When
it was learned that two large heavily
laden cars were approaching Rock
Kapids last'hight, the agents nrocur-
.odutomobilesond went out to meet
tntP runners. '"'Hanson saw the' an-'
proa'ch of the transporters at a point
about a mile north of here. Turn
ing his machine crosswise in the road
he determined to frustrate any at
tempt on the part of the runners to
speed past him. Hanson then stood
on the running board of his car near
est the approaching machines and
called at the leader to stop. Instead
of doing so, the driver, who has thus
far refused, to divulge his name,
crashed into Hanson. Hanson's watch
was crushed as fiat as a silver dollar
in his pocket. Both drivers, -who are
under arrest have maintained n sullen
attitude. Nine cars, heavily loaded
and said to come from Trosky, passed
through here at high speed early yes
terday morning. It is tho custom
of these runners to extinguish their
lights and proceed at full speed along
a street just at tho outskirts of Rock
Rapids. Traveling is done during
tho hours of darkness. As a result
of tho injury to Agent Hanson many
additional federal men will be sta
tioned to block every road leading
from Trosky into Iowa. Action al3o
is likely to be taken to prevent the
sales of booze in huge quantities at
tho Minnesota oasis, whero a "land
office" business has been conducted
by liquor dealers for some time. A
recent ruling of the United States
supreme court that liquor can be le
gally transported from a wet through
a dry state for destination in anoth
er wot state is said to havo greatly
increased the number of transporters
and cargoes have been much heavier
than beforo tho decision was handed
down.

VACCINATING SUCKLING PIGS
(From Farm Bureau News)
It has been a gene "1 belief that
to uroduce ncrmanen' immunitv in
fhogs, when vaccinating against chol
era, that it was necessary to havo
thetn at least 50 to 00 pounds in
weight. So strongly was this idea
held that all betcrinarians and oth
ers, of my knowledge, doing hog
cholera control work, gave suckling
pigs only the single treatment until
they reached something near that
weight.
With this general idea in view, the
Oklahome Experiment Station con
ducted a series of experiments to de
termine how young, pigs can be per
manently immunized. In each ex
periment the pigs were immunized in
the experimental pens where they,
were kept under observation for "tea
to fifteen days. After this period
uj. uusurvuuun, mey were uisinieqccu
and removed to tho Collego -farin,
where they had larger enclosures.' VAt
varying intervals they were returned
to the experimental pens and in dif
ferent ways exposed to hog cholera
infection.
Tho result of these experiments
should be carefully noted by every
hog raiser and especially by the man
who makes a nructicn of vnectnntlncr
his hogs, each year. In looking over
the. records of the work done by the
Cotinty Agent last year, wo find that
athigh percent of tho herds of hogs.
immunized averaged from 90 to 125
pounds, with some herds as high as (
140 pounds. These were on farms
where vaccination is an annual oc
curence and the work had merely
neen 'put on until a convenient sea
son arrived.
What difference would early vacci
nation have made on these herds, say
at six to eight weeks of age? The
cost Would not have been more than
a little over half as much; and the
time required to do tho work only (
uuuiic nan as long. men mo man
who waits until his hogs have reach
ed such a great sizo has carried tho
risk for three months longer than
is necessary, and during that time,
which, in many years, is our worst
time for cholera. With these things
in vidw and the results of the ex
perimental data printed below , it
would seem that earlier vaccinating
should follow.
This report is taken from Bulletin
No. 119, printed July 1918, by tho
Oklahoma Station. Experiment No.
1, is omitted as it deals with 50 to
GO pounds pigs and proves that they
can be successfully immunized, which
is common knowledge.
In the discussion at the closo of
this work, they state that the serum
and virus treatment can bo relied
upon in very small pigs ofr at least
one your. This was the length of
time of the test and does not say
that the immunity would not have
lasted longer, although it would bo
necessary to tost it beforo stating
conclusively.
The following Is a report of the
work as set forth In tho bulletin:
Experiment No. 2. On February
13, 1917, six shouts were given tho
.simultaneous treatment. They wero
numbered and treated as follows:
Serum Virus
Given Given
20 cc lec
20 cc lec
20 cc lec
20 cc lec
20 cc lec
30 cc lec
Weight
No. 182... 20 lbs.
No. 183... 22 lbs.
No. 184... 27 lbs.
No. 185... 21 lbs.
No. 18G...2C lbs.
No. 187... 31 lls.
These pigs were brought to tho
experiment pens on the following
dates for the purposo of testing out
their Immunity:
On June 8- Nos. 183 and 184.
On August 3 Nos. 182 and 18G.
On November ip Nos. 185 and 187.
Those tested for immunitv on Juno
8, received 2Vi cc. of virus in feed.
Tho remaining four pigs each re
ceived ice. of fresh virus hypouerml
cally. These nitrs wero kent under
observation in each case for a per
iod of twenty days. No symptomc
of cholera developed.
experiment No. 3. On March 3,
1917, a sow and four pigs wero pur
chased. They were numbered and
treoted as follows:
Scrum Virus
Given Given
No. 1 lCcc. i$cc.
N. 2 I5cc. Vcc.
No. 3 I5cc. V4cc.
No. 4 i,cc.
No. b 200 OOcc. ;.5cc.
Pig No. 4 was given virus alone as
a check on.tho virus, which produced
u typlcul case of cholera, the pig dy
ing on March 12. The sow and threo
remaining pigs were kept under ob
servation until March 22. Tho pigs
wero 18 days old when immunized.
Only tho threo pigs were to be used
in testing for immunity. These
pigs wero tested for immunity as fol
lows: June 8, pig No. 1 tested.
August 3, pig No. 3 tested.
November 10, pig No. 2 tested.
Tho test of June 8 was made by
placing 2.5 cc. of virus in feed, tho
two remaining tests by giving hypo
dermically 1 cc. of fresh cholera vi
rus. No cholera symptoms devel
oped during tho twenty-day observa
tion period.
Experiment No. 4. A largo sow
with nine pigs were purchased on
March 22 for this test. One pig
was given virus alone. Tho remain
ing eight pigs each received Vj cc. of
virus and 15 cc. of serum. The sow
received 1 cc. of virus and GO cc. of
serum. This lot of pigs was three
weeks old at time of immunizing.
On April 10 tho sow and eight pigs
wore in good condition and wero re
moved from the experimental pens
to the farm.
On April 1G tho check pig died
from o'l ilera.
These pig?, were tested for immuni
ty as follows:
June 8 Two pigs each received
2.5 cc. of viriiij in feed.
August 3 Two pigs each received
1 cc. of virus hypodermically.
November 10 Two pigs each re
ceived 1 cc. virus hypodermically.
March 11 '(1918) Two pigs each
received 1 cc. virus hypodermically.
In each case, after tho virus was
used, tho pigs were kept under ob
servation for a sufficient length of
time to determlno if any infection
resulted. In no'caso wero the pigs
ofr feed during this period.
Experiment No. 5. On June 22
a sow and seven pigs wero purchased
and given tho simultaneous treat
ment. Each pig received 15 cc. 'of
serum and t cc. of virus. Tho sow
received GO cc. of serum nnd 1 cc. of
virus. Only tho pigs wero to bo
used in tho experiment. On July
G each pig recoived an additional in
jection of y, cc. of fresh cholera vi
rus hypodermically. After a period
of observation of nineteen days tho
pigs wore sent to thb'Yaftn to bo re
turned later for Immunity test.
November 10 (two"-of tho above pigs
wero tested byjgivlng each 2& cc. of
virus in feed.
March 11, 1918, tho remaining five
pigs wero Drought to tho experiment
al pens anu tested uy giving each
1 cc-of fresh cholera virus hypoder
mically, . These pigs w.ora kept under obser
vation the usual time, but no symp
toms of cholera developed.
Experiment No. G. Aucust 3.1917.
four pigs, 22 days old, wero given
the simultaneous treatment, using
cc. of virus and 12 cc. of sorum.
These pigs wero given an additional
injection of 1 cc. of fresh virus on
August 15. No ill cfTects from eith
er treatment followed. Two of these
pigs wero tested for immunity on
March 11, 1918, by giving each 1 cc.
of fresh virus hypodermically. No
symptoms of cholera developed. Tho
remaining two pigs were lost by ac-
ciucnt wnuo on tho iarm.
DISCUSSION. Tho problem In
this series of tests was to deter mi no
whether it was a practical procoduro
to vaccinate sucking pigs and smoll
shoots. For this work sucking pigs
3 weoks old, and largo pigs of 20 to
50 pounds, wero used. In Experi
ments 5 and G tho pigs were given
an additional injection of virus; in
Experiment 5 thoy recoived cc. in
fourteen days after tho first treat
ment; in Experiment 0 tho pigs re
ceived 1 ccvof virus twelve days
after tho first treatment.
Tho twenty and fifty pound shouts
wero tested for Immunity at varying
lengths of time, varying from 114
days up to 273 days. In ovorycaso
tho simultaneous treatment govo pro
tection. In Exporjments 3, 4, G and 0 the
pigs used wero in most cases about 3
weeks old. These pigs did not show
any ill effects fi-om tho simultaneous
treatmont or I' um subsequent injec
tion of vim , in Experiments 5 and

JACKSON,
(SI
G. Tho pigs used wero tested for im
munity at Intervals varying from 77
to 353 days. Tho experiment run
ning tho greatest length of time
was with pigs receiving their Immu
nizing treatment on March 22, 1917.
Two of these pigs wero tested for im
munity on March 11, 1918. All of
the pigs in tho abovo four experi
ments wero protected against hog
ckolera by tho simultaneous treat
ment administered whilo they were
about 3 weeks old. Virus was used
on non-immunized pigs in all of
tho tests for immunity, and in tho
test on March 11, 1918, two pigs were
inoculated. Both died of cnolera on
March 21.
Whilo tho number of pigs used in
this phase of tho work was not very
largo (thirty-one head), tho results
seem to indicato that immunity ob
tained in very young pigs by using
hog cholera serum nnd virus can be
relied upon for at least ono year.
PURE-BHER BREEDERS BEAUTIFY
their HOMES.
(From Farm Bureau Nows)
Not long since wo noted a farm
paper nrticlo under tho following
caption: "Farmers who breed pure
bred live stock improve- and ' mod
ernize thoir homes and, beautify
tholr surroundings, Why?" Our ob
servation has been that wth the
smaller breeders of puro,-brcd live
stock this is too often not tho case,
and it also is true with somo of, the
larger breeders. Wo havo 'often
thought, however, when visiting some
of these premises whero well .bred
animals aro kept in tumbled down
quartors with fences of '.the same
character, that nothings would pay
tho owner better than to look aftor
these details. This, docs not, neces
sarily m6an .modern buildings'' with
the same kind of. equipment, but ti
diness to tho extent of keeping build
ings and fences in ropair:f, keeping
litter, old lumber, and worn out ma
chinery, such as accumulate on every
farm, In their respective places.
Nothing helps more than paint when
It comes to presenting a good ap
pearance. You havo many times
seen farms whore tho bnrns and
yards presented, this untidy condi
tion and while, tho stock,.was very
dcsirablo it was hard to.jrcolizo that
it could bo morolthan .conimon.
Many horso dealers "hayo a- showy
set of harness which they place on
teams that they are, offering for sale.
Why is this? Simply that; they may
show tholr horses to a hotter advant
age. Neat surroundings together
with good conditions, will help won
derfully to get tho full value of an
animal At tho time of making a sole.
Thero is a growing tendency to
namo the farms. This is an excel
lent idea nnd should bo encouraged
everywhere. But theso names should
mean something and tho farm should
bo truo to its namo, just the same as
wo would expect a fruit trco or nn
nnjmal wo might buy. Tho, name of
the farm should be on the farm's
stationary. Pc'oplo receiving letters
from farms that are named:, expect
something moro than tho ordinary.
If thoy come to visit your herds or
flocks for tho purposo of buying nnd
meet n disappointment as soon as
thoy come in view of thofnrmstoad,
they aro apt to carry tho same idea
when viewing oven well bred animals.
Many times wo tolerate these con
ditions becauso wo feel too bUBy to
make tho chango and many timso the
manager has allowed himself to be
come accostomed to It, so that ho
docs not view things as does the
stranger. Theso aro times of labor
shortngo, but thero is no hopes of
better conditions along theso lines
for n.long time to come, bo thut work
of this nature must be made a part
of tho regular program. When once
order is restored it is really but lit
tlo trouble to keep things neat.
