COFFEY TO LEND ASSISTANCE
Labor Commissioner Will Locate Wen
in Section When They Ant
Most Needed
Lincoln.—Frank M. Coffey, deputy
state labor commissioner, estimates
that from 7,000 to 8,000 extra men
will be needed to harvest wheat in
Nebraska. His department will as
sist harvest hands in locat'ng the sec
tion in the state where their services
are most needed. His estimate is
based on reports received from var
ious sources in each county. He be
lieves Buffalo county will need 200 ex
tra men. Seward county will need 150
and a dozen other counties will need
100 men each.
The federal agricultural officials es
timate the total bushels production
of winter wheat for Nebraska for the
year 1915 at 74,000,000. approximately
10,000.000 greater than the crop of
1914, while Secretary Mellor of the
state agricultural board, estimates the
bushels production of the 1915 crop
at 71,000.000. Judging from the re
ports received by this department the
bushels production for 1915 will not
be far short of 70,000,000.
The average wages paid harvest
hands in Nebraska during the year
1934 was from $2 to $2.50; men with
teams about J4.50. Striking an aver
age from the reports received by this
department it would be fairly safe to
estimate that the wages for 1915 will
not vary much from the 3914 average.
Of course, weather conditions and
the number of available men might
change these averages.
Following the rule of averages, the
counties from which no estimate was
obtained included, will probably make
an estimate of from 7,000 to 8,000 ex
tra men needed for tiie 1915 harvest a
conservative estimate.
Hog Cholera Serum.
One of the laws enacted by the last
legislature which is undoubtedly of
great benefit to the farmer and which
In a wav affects each hog raiser of
the state, was what is known as Sen
ate File 197. regulating the manufac
ture and sale of autl-hog cholera se
rum and virus. The Nebraska law
makes It imperative that all compan
ies who manufacture or sell serum
and virus in the state procure a per
mit from the Live Stock Sanitary
Board and file bond for $5,000 with
the board for the fulfillment of the
law regulating their product. The
one feature of the law which affects
the farmer or user of either of the
two products is that reports must be
made by both the party administer
ing the serum or virus and the party
owning the hogs. The one who ad
ministers the dose must make a re
port to the Live Stock Saniiary
Board at Lincoln immediately, and
the owner of the hogs must make a
report at the end of thirty days. It
would be well for the swine owners
who contemplate vaccination to look
up this law before vaccinating and to
make sure that they procure the right
kind of serum by buying only from
companies licensed in Nebraska. If
they buy from companies licensed in
Nebraska report blanks are sent out
with each lot of serum sold by such
company.

j CHOLERA COSTS FARMERS IMMENSE SUM*)
I
Healthy Sow and Litter in Fair-Weather Paddock.
What is hog cholera? Stripped of
all the big words that might be used
in describing it. it is a swine disease
that costs the farmers of the United
States more than a standing army anti
involves the lungs, kidneys, liver and
especially the intestines of the dis
eased animal, says an Illinois writer
in Farm Progress. It is highly infec
tious and is more dreaded than any
other one live stock menace, and
there are plenty of reasons for this
dread.
How do hogs get it? In a .hundred
ways. A dog ranging through the
fields inav pick up the germs of the
disease on his feet, carrying them for
five miles across country and scatter
them in your hog lot A buzzard may
pick up a piece of carrion from the
carcass of a cholera-slain porker and
drop it under a dead tree in your
fields. Or a healthy hog may get it
through consuming infected food or
water Cholera may come down in
the running water of a creek or river
It may be spread by contact between
hog and hog or by shipping a hog in
cars used to transport diseased
porkers.
There are other wavs and many of
them, but not one is more important
than that of carrying the germs on the
clothes, the boots, the wagon tires or
any other objects from one farm to
another. If your hogs have the chol
era. keep away from your neighbor's
premises and ask him to do as much
for you under the same circumstances.
Is there any section of the United
States where a man can go and raise
hogs without having to fear cholera?
Not one, so far as is known This
swine plague is about as universal as
the hog's distribution. It is especially
prevalent in the corn-belt states, but
that is solely because there are more
hogs there to acquire the disease. It
exists in the East, the West, the North
and the South.
How long will hog cholera linger
in a neighborhood’ If carefully
handled and fought, as it should be
fought with serums, preventive reme
dies and the aid of men who are vet
erans in such fighting, the last traces
will usually disappear In about two
years. That is, unless a fresh source
of infection, coming from the outside
is established in the neighborhood.
When is it most acute, most danger
ous and most destructive? Look out
for it in the fail. It is serious enough
in the summer. But it is most viru
lent and acute In the fall and will last
on and through the winter and over
into the next heated season if left tc
run unchecked. In winter it is often
complicated by a partially understood
disease that seems to center its at
tacks on the lungs Ry some this is
classified as a separate trouble, but
others announce that it is a more
deadly variation of cholera.
How long does it take cholera to
incubpte or develop in a hog after the
animal is exposed? This varies from
a few days to two and even three
weeks. Exposure is practically cer
tain to result in the disease, and when
the hogs are known to have been ex
posed get the serum treatment started.
What are the early symptoms? They
are sadly familiar to thousands of
farmers. Tremors, fever, marked
weakness, droopy appearance, stagger
ing walk, labored breathing, diarrhea,
maybe constipation, and in some cases
convulsions are the first symptoms.
Where the symptoms are very strong
the hog may die within a few hours
What preventives may be used?
Clean up filthy quarters, move the
hogs out of crowded quarters, use
plenty of disinfectants in the sheds
and see that the water and feed given
are clean and wholesome. Go into
the sheds and hog houses with plenty
of whitewash, slaked lime, stock dips,
carbolic acid, chloride of lime or any
other disinfectant that is handy and
I use them unsparingly.
HOGS ARE SUBJECT
TO SKIN DISEASES
Light-Skinned Animals Are Some
what More Susceptible to
Mange Than Others.
By M H REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex
periment Station.)
Hogs are subject to a variety of
jkin diseases. Two of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mange.
Pitch mange is not a true mange,
out rather an eczema and affects hogs
that are not in vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur
■oundings. Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others.
The skin is at first red and perhaps
swollen. Small red spqts appear and
subsequently change to blisters which
dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed is sim
ple cleanliness and the sort of feed
that will make the hog healthy and
vigorous. It usually means a com
plete change of surroundings and plen
ty of good food.
H6gs are subject also to true mange.
This is caused by a minute animal !
parasite, which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe inflammation and itching This
form of mange Is especially difficult
to treat because of the burrowing hab
it of the parasite.
Mange begins somewhere on the
lead or neck and extends slowly back
ward. The hams are likely to be af
fected sooner or later. The bristles
fall out and the skin becomes very
thick and wrinkled. Sometimes it is
thickened to an astonishing extent.
Hog mange is peculiar on account of
the powderlike surface of the crust.
Time and Patience.
To milk a cow requires time and pa
tience. The milk should be drawn
slowly and steadily. Some cows have
very tender teats, and if you want a
well-disposed cow. be gentle in your
treatment toward her. A good cow is
naturally impatient, and does not like
rough handling. With constant irrita
tion, any cow will fail in quantity Of
milk.
Milker Should Be Clean.
No person should handle milk who
comes, in any way. into contact with
a contagious disease. It is hardly nec
essary to say that the milker should
be clean at all times. Wet hands while
milking drip dirty water into the pail,
introducing innumerable germs into
the warm milk.
Good Chicken Range.
A good range for the chickens on
the farm is essential to cleanliness.
Fattening Grains.
Corn, barley and buckwheat are
very fattening grains, the latter hav
ing a tendency to whiten the flesh of
poultry. Sweet potatoes are sugary
and as such are fattening, but will
give a yellow tinge to the flesh.
Teach Chickens to Roost.
As soon as the chicks are old enough
they should be taught to roost out
side the brooders, upon perches placed
near the floor. Keep the floor well
covered with clean litter. Never use
°awdust.
WEAN LITTLE PIGS
AT CORRECT TIME
Youngsters Must Be Taught to
Eat Grain Long Before Taken
From Their Mothers.
Should the pigs be weaned at six
to eight weeks of age. or should they
be allowed to run with the sows until
the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two litters a year
had best wean their spring litter at
six or eight weeks of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor of early weaning so that
the sows may be dried off rapidly and
fattened.
If the pigs are to be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned. Two or
three weeks old pigs will learn to nib
ble a little. A good grain mixture is
60 parts of corn, 20 parts of middlings,
10 parts of tankage or meat meal. 5
parts of oats and 5 parts of oil meal.
If skim milk may be had it should
certainly be fed, especially just after,
weaning time.
PLANT SWEET CORN
FOR A SUCCESSION
Use Three Varieties. Early, Me
dium and Late—Last Crop
for Use in October.
To have a constant succession of
sweet corn we plant three varieties
an early, a medium and a late sort at
early in the season as ft seems safe,
says a writer in an exchange. Aftei
a few weeks two varieties are planted
and so on until about July 4, when the
strawberry crop has been gathered
We fruit a strawberry bed but ont
year, so the spaces between the rows
are torn up with a wheel hoe, and
corn planted without attempting tc
plow the entire bed until the follow
ing spring. This last crop is usually
ready for use early in October, and
only once in many years has frost
taken the crop before it was ready for
use.
Occasionally two plantings will over
lap, but there is always a chance to
dispose of the surplus, or it may be
canned for future use
Pure Water for Dairy.
Water which is known to be con
taminated should never be used in a
dairy: or it should he boiled before
using. This is a very simple precau
tion, the necessity of which cannot
be doubted. To knowingly use con
taminated water in a dairy should be
classed as a criminal offense.
Hen With Yellow Legs.
A yearling hen with bright, yellow
legs may be put down as an ordinary
layer. It is a noteworthy fact that
with all the heavy layers the color of
the leg becomes lighter as the hen
grows older.
Select Breeders With Care.
All breeds and varieties Df fowls
have some fowls that have much less
or much more vigor than the average
for its class, and may be expected to
have offspring of like nature. Select
breeders with care.
Defeated Soldiers Who Are Ac
corded Distinction.
Defenders Forced Through Circum
stances to Surrender Fortified
Places Usually Treated With
Generosity by Captors.
When Przemysl, the great fortress
on the Hungarian frontier, fell Into
the hands of the Russians, the terms
of surrender provided that the garrison
should be accorded “honors of war.”
As a consequence, the defenders
marched out with their colors flying,
and surrendered tp the commander of
the attacking forces to the sounua tA
drums and bugles. The prisoners were
neither deported to Siberia nor sent to
concentration camps, but were placed
on parole in a certain town of Russia,
and the officers were allowed to retain
their swords.
It is interesting ot recall that at Port
Arthur, the greatest siege ever known,
at the end of seven months’ investment
the Russians made various offers of
surrender if they could march out with
ail the honors of war, but the Japanese
demanded unconditional surrender.
Ordinarily, in all these siege opera
tions, a surrender of a fortress is un
conditional, and the vanquished tacitly
agree to accept whatever terms the
victor, in his wisdom, may impose, re
lying upon the latter’s magnanimity
for good and lenient treatment. The
usual course !s this: The garrison is
disarmed. They are made to fall in,
ail so many prisoners, and escorted to
wherever their conquerors decide they
shall be detained.
The conquerors, of course, see that
the escort is a strong guard, properly
armed, able to put down at once any
attempt on the prisoners’ part to es
cape or disobey orders. Worst of ail.
and certainly the most galling to any
real soldier, the almost sacred trophies
of the different regiments become the
spoils of the victors.
Guns, ammunition, colors and such
like things all have to be given up.
though men have given their lives to
defend them. For the future they
grace the homes of the enemy, or are
turned against their old owners in the
field.
It is in these things that the humilia
tion of surrender becomes complete:
yet all of it is saved when the beaten
garrison is granted the “honors of
war." as the Austrians were at Prze
mysl That means the defenders were
simply '‘defeated, but not disgraced.”
By its use, the successful besiegers
admit to the world that the garrison
were able to make something better
than an unconditional surrender. Their
heroic defense had not left them at
their last gasp: they could maintain
hostilities for some time yet; and, al
though they would undoubtedly be
beaten at the finish, the fortress could
only be taken after more or less h3d
been suffered.
In such a case all that is demanded
of the beaten men is that they should
evacuate, all their positions. These
the enemy take possession of, as what
they have been striving for. All the
colors and other trophies are retained
by the garrison. The defenders are
not prisoners of war. compelled to sur
render. They are simply beaten men.
voluntarily giving up the unequal con
test.
They are not disarmed and escorted
by guards. Mustering under their own
leaders, as they did at Przemysl. they
have no enemy over them giving or
ders. Headed by their own bands, with
their own colors flying above them,
and no foreign flag near, they “march
out” of the positions they have so
nobly held, saluted by their success
ors and acclaimed by the world as he
roes for whom circumstances have
been too strong.
It has been previously settled where
they should go, and thither they march
by themselves, their officers wearing
I their sworus by tneir sides. Just as if
| they were victors, instead of con
quered men. They merely evacuate
their positions, and to all purposes are
free men, not prisoners.
This is marching out with the "hon
ors of war."
The custom is an old one. and of late
years seldom practiced; it was left to
the Russians to revive it.
Harmless.
The commuter was plainly excited.
He pounded the seat cushion in front
of him as he spoke, and his voice rose
high above the rattle of the wheels.
“So matter what my earlier views
were,” he exclaimed. “I’ve changed
radically'. I’m for the Reds now
against all comers.”
A timid little man across the aisle
edged quietly out of his seat and
sought the conductor.
‘‘It’s an outrage,” he exclaimed. “An
avowed anarchist like that fellow
ought not to be allowed to ride in a
public conveyance.”
‘‘He's no anarchist,” said the con
ductor with a grin. “He's a chicken
raiser. Just dow he's expressing his
views on the merits of the Rhode
Island Reds, the best little layers in
seven states.”
Pennsylvania Nature Story.
Arthur Neefe of Sweden, Bradford
county, set a trap in the woods, and
on account of the snows was unable to
£et to it. Last week it was visited
and a lively fox found therein. The
captive had been sustained by his fel
lows during the imprisonment. Within
reach were a gray rabbit, a white
rabbit, four mice and a woodchuck,
some of them partially devoured. Im
prisoned, he had been visited and
nourished by his own tribe. He was
taken into further captivity, and
other than the loss of the foot by
which lie had been held in the trap,
appears none the worse for his expe
rience.—Philadelphia Record.
Baby’s Bedroom.
The room in which a baby sleeps
should contain no upholstered furni
ture or heavy curtains on which dirt
«nd germs can’ find a lodging and
breeding place. The walls, if possible,
• should be so finished as to allow’ fre
quent wiping with a damp cloth. The
temperature of the baby's room should
be kept not higher than G8 or 70 de
i grees in winter and in summer should
be kept as cool as possible with awn
ings and shutters. The windows
should be kept open day and night in
summer and in winter the room should
be aired two or three times a day.
