lie observed that tho soldiers and sail

of ndoption in this country, and that
tlio uniform of the soldiers of the

Ho has accordingly suggested thnt
a national device, preferably tho coal
of nrms of tho United States, be
placed over tho chevron of every non

on tho collar or other convenient
place on tlio uniform of overy ofllcer.

ANTI-HOG CHOLERASERUM

Washington, Jan. )S. Tho chief of
the bureau of animal industry, Dr.
D. E. Salmon, has submitted to Sec
retary Wilson a report upon tho ex
periments mado in tho treatment of
hogs for hog cholera with antl-tox-ine
serum. This sorum is made up
on tho same principlo as tho antl-tox-ine
of diphtheria- Good serum hns
been obtained from both horses and
cattlo, a horso or a cow being inocu
lated with the hog cholera vlru3 at
first, and with larger dosos after suit
able intervals of time. Tho re
sistance of tlio nnlmal is thus
raised to tlio highest practicable
point Tho blood of such an animal
when injected under the bkln of
swlno has been, found to possess
both a preventive and curative action.

Dr. Salmon boliovod that, with expe
rience, a better quality of scrum can
bo proparod, and ho lias no doubt that
this pcrcontago -:an bo maintained
hereafter.
Roforrlng to this report Secretary
Wilson remarked that tho results re
ported by Dr. Salmon would be most
encouraging to hojr raisers. Tlm
cost of tho Horum now," said the sec
retary, "Is but ten cents per head for
animals treated, only ono dozen doses
being required, and doubtless In course
of time this light cost may still bo
further reduced. It is of the utmost
importance that this serum for tho

In order to demonstrate its efllcncy
upon a uioro extended scale. It is ab
solutoly essential that during the ex
