Protective S erums and Their Production

important and interesting subject has
been prepared especially for the read
ers of these columns by Dr. W. M.
Burson, professor of veterinary sci

Agriculture. All who are interested in
live stock should read this article with
great care and preserve it for future
reference, as it gives information of
great value to all who may be interest
ed in the use of vaccine or serum for
the protection of their live stock.

mild in its form, was not noticed by
the persops -handling the cattle, and
these same cattle were soon afterward
placed on sale at a public stock yard,
with the result that within six weeks
foot and mouth disease had spread into
four states, causing great losses. It
was eradicated by strenuous- efforts on
the part of state and federal officials,
at an expense of approximately 1400.-
000.
Proper handling and testing of the
vaccine would have prevented this

sible for the placing on the market of
biological products of inferior quality.
Tuberculin, used as a diagnostic agent
for the detection of tuberculosis of
cattle, is a biological product of great
importance to the human race. It has
been proven that tuberculosis of cat
tle is transmissible to people through
the flesh and especially the milk of
affected cows. If cows are tested with
tuberculin not of sufficient strength,
an improper test results, and a dis
eased cow may be declared free of
tuberculosis and be a’'owed to remain
in a dairy and supply milk, perhaps
to infants or invalids. By proper su
pervision of manufactories or by allow
ing thid" nroduct to be made only by
federal, state, or municipal officials,
this may be avoided. By this means
also these products could be kept out
of the hands of persons not competent
to use them.
Hog cholera serum is

some of which have long established
reputations for honesty and fair deal

the other hand, this same product is
being made and sold by individuals or
firms of recent experience in this line
of work and whose only income is from
the sale of serum. It is evident that
in at least some Instances there is no
desire on the part of these persons
to control or eradicate cholera, as in
that event their income would cease.

TROOPS WITHDRAWN
FROM LOMHER STRIKE
Only One Company on Guard
and Quiet Has Been
Restored
(By Associated Press.)
BATON ROUGE. La., Nov. 16.—Gov
ernor Hall early this evening recalled
the company of soldiers from Merry
ville. whence they were ordered last
night in anticipation of trouble de
veloping in the strike of employes of
the American Lumber company.
Reports from Merryville to the gover
nor today were reassuring and the parish
authorities were considered capable of
handling any situation that might de
velop.
BEAUMONT. Tex., Nov. 16. —Tele-
phone messages from Merryville, La..
where a large number of members of
the Brotherhood of Timber Workers are
on strike, says the town is quiet and
that no disorders are feared tonight.
One company of troops remains in
Merryville, according to the message,
but will probably leave tomorrow.
SUSPECTED OF ROBBERY
HE GIVES HIMSELF UP
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga„ Nov. 16.—Upon re
ceiving a letter from a friend in At
lanta. stating that he was suspected of
the theft of jewelry from the room of
a clerk of the Aragon hotel, Tom Davis,
a well known young Savannahian, sur
rendered to the police la stnight.
Young Davis was in Atlanta on a visit
a short time ago. It was while he was
at the hotel that the jewelry, some of
which has been recovered, is said to
have disappeared. He declares he is in
nocent of the charge, but admits that
he and his friends had access at all
times to the room of Clerk Lovejoy
from which the jewelry is said to have
been taken.*
He is willing to return to Atlanta and
has been paroled by the police until the
arrival of an officer to convey him back
to that city.
scrupulous care in the handling and
testing of their product. Some in
stances have been known where serum
totally unfit for use has been sent out.
Instances of this kind are especially
harmful. The farmer who uses such
serum depends upon it to prevent chol
era in his herd and is disappointed and
tells his neighbors of his experience.
Properly made and tested serum is
very efficient as a preventive of hog
cholera, and such instances as the
above serve to destroy the confidence
of the farmer in this valuable product
In some such instances where commer
cial serum has been used without re
sults. they swine owner refuses to be
lieve that there is any virtue in any
serum, refuses to use that produced by
the authorities of his own state, and
becomes discouraged wltn the swine
industry. Thfe encouragement of farm
ers engaged in hog raising in the south
is necessary.
The hog cholera serum made by the
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations of the various states is care
fully made and each lot of serum pro
duced is thoroughly tested. Not only
is care taken to produce serum with
power to protect against hog cholera,
but also tha| the serum is free from
germs which might produce pneumonia
or septicemia. The production of se
rum and* other similar substances by
the states interferes with the business
and profits of the various commercial
houses manufacturing similar products,
and. of course, these firms make efforts
to discourage this activity on the
part of the state. By reduction of
prices and wide advertising pressure is
brought to bead on the state. In some
instances serum has been offered for
sale at extremely low prices in states
where serum manufacture by the state
is in progress. These low offers are
for the purpose either of moving stale
stocks of goods or having an influ
ence in preventing the appropriation
of funds for carrying on or enlarging
the business. Furthermore, prices
quoted by such establishments are
subject to change without notice. Hog
cholera serum and other similar prod
ucts were not discovered or developed
by the commeftial interests, but by
experimental and research workers en
gaged by the states or federal govern
ment. Much other work along the
same, lines remains to be carried out
and new facts established. This can
best be done bV trained men who are
employed on regular salary and who
are not dependent upon the commercial
side of the business, but devote their
time to uneartning new things as well
as working out better methods of do
ing work already in progress.

SECURING AN EARLY CROP OF
COTTON.
J. A. S. T., Burnt Corn, Ala., writes: 1
wish to raise an early crop of cotton in
1913. Would there be any chance now ot
! covering the roots of the stalks with a
plowshare where I raised cotton this
year so as to keep them alive during
the winter and if so would there be any
advantage in it so far as an early crop
and good yield are concerned? I find
| the agricultural columns very helpful
ito me in my farm work. /
In my judgment it would not be possi
} ble to prevent the death of the roots ot
i the cotton plant by throwing earth to
them after, the plan suggested in your
letter. Bven if this were practical, we
doubt very much whether you would
secure a crop whidh would mature
i much earlier than one raised from seed
planted in the spring. As a matter of
tact, you could not prepare the seed
bed or fertilize it so well as were the
, seed replanted, and though you might
i succeed in protecting the roots of the
plant so that they would retain their
vitality until the spring, a late frost
might then easily destroy the crop. We
have seen comparatively few cotton
plants go through the winter and woulci
not regard this as a practical method
of growing this important crop. We
have assigned several reasons herewitn
to justify the position taken with ref
erence to this matter. If we desired to
raise an especially early crop of cotton
for ourselves, we would prefer to plow
the land as soon as practicable, ttirfi
'ing it up as deeply as possible and sub
soiling. Disk a few times during the
winter to keep the crust broken, so
water will be readily abbsorbed. Har-
I row and prepare a fine seed bed iff the
j early spring. Bed at such distances as
I the strength of the land makes advls
. able, and plant a bushel of seed to the
j acre as early as you think you can
. afford to do and eScape a frost suffi-
I Icently severe to kill the cotton. The
I use of a good grade of fertilizer togeth
er with compost and yard manure at
1 the rate of two tons per acre will help
I to force the crop along and also to in
: sure a good yield.
DESTROYING WORMS IN HORSES
D. J. T., Jefferson, Ga.. writes: I have
I a horse that is very wormy. I have
, tried everything I ever heard of, and
I they have all failed to do any good. 1

AUGUSTA WILL W
GREILCORN FESTINE
Thousands of Exhibits Will Be
Shown at Big Carnival
, Next Month
AUGUSTA. Gn., Nov. 16. —The Augus
ta Corn festival, which will be held
here the first weelc in next month, De
cember 2-7, promises to be one of the
greatest attractions ever held, and thou
sands of exhibits will be shown from
the entire surrounding section of Geor
gia and South Carolina. Low rates have
been granted on all railroads, and over
$3,000 will be paid out iti prizes. This
is the second annual festival, and it has
.grown to such proportions that it will
be a regular merchants’ fair and car
nival. The festival is put on under the
auspices of the Merchants and Manufac
turers’ association and is co-operated in
by the State College of Agriculture and
United States department of agricul
i turc.
In'aNdition to the corn display there
will be some splendid shows in connec
tion with the affair, and everybody com
ing will be well repaid for their visit.
The show will be held in the down
town business district, and displays of
corn from Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell
counties. South Carolina; Columbia.
Burke, Jenkins, Greene, Wilkes, Wash
ington, Baldwin. Hancock, Taliaferro
and many other G*>rgia counties will be
shown.
The express company has granted
free transportation of exhibits to th<
show, and already Manager J. C. Mc-
Auliffe is receiving many exhibits. The
show will be held in the Whitney court
housse, just off Broad street, on Camp
bell, and this is being thoroughly pre
pared for the show. The Augusta Corn
festival last year took rank as one of
the largesst in the south, and this year
it will be next to the national corn ex
position, with fully $3,000 appropriated
for prizes. With low rates on all roads
and other attractions in connection with
the corn display, it is quite certain that
large crowds will attend the festival
every day, and he displays will also
be open at night.
be glad to have you tell me what to do
for him.
Worms be destroyed in horses by
the use of various medicines. We be
lieve you will find the following treat
ment quite effective: Feed your horse
sparingly for at least forty-eight
houps, and then give the medicine on an
empty stomach, and follow it by an
active purgative which will tend to ex
pel the worms from the intestines as
quickly as possible. There is probably
nothing better than turpentine given in
two-ounce doses for a good sized horse.
The turpentine should be diluted in cot
ton seed oil, milk or linseed oil, so that
it will not blister the mouth or throat.
This should be given once daily for two
or three days in succession. Follow by
an aloes ball or a pound of Epsom salts
dissolved in a quart of lukewarm water.
Animals infested with worms generally
become debilitated, and on this account
should be given a variety of tonic
foods. Where you are feeding/corn as
the main part of the ration, cut it out
for a few days and replace with bran.
It is important that you provide as
much green as possible and allow
the animal a good pasture to range over.
We .believe, by following the treatment
suggested, you will be able to rid your
horse of worms at an early date.
FAST TRAIN RAN AWAY;
ENGNIEER UNCONSCIOUS
(By Associated Press.)
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 16.
A fast train of the Pennsylvania rail
road was a “runaway" for a few mo
ments yesterday when 1 on the way
from New York to Philadelphia the
engineer lay scalded and senseless in
Ids cab from escaping steam. The
presence of mind and pluck of the fire
man, Joseph Garrett, averted a prob
able wreck of the train, running sixty
miles an hour and crowded with pas
sengers.
Beyond thlri* city one of the driving
shafts snapped and part of the rod was
hurled through a boiler section. There
was a rush of steam and Engineer
Frank Barber was enveloped and over
come before he could put his hand to
the throttle. Garrett, with the train
speeding madly on, climbed over to the
engineer’s side of the cab and although
nearly blinded, managed to get to the
throttle. He stopped the train. Bar
ber’s condition is serious.

It’s down in South Georgia. In Tift County.
It’s called TIFT FARMS. It lies close to
and around the cities of Tifton,Urbana, Chula
and Harding. '
' . /
This land is owned outright, without encumbrance
or option, by Captain H. H. Tift, one of I ift
ty’s pioneers, a millionaire lumberman, and one of
Georgia’s best known and most highly respected
citizens. It was purchased by Captain,Tift many
years ago and the timber gradually cut away.
The cleared land has now been laid off by Captain Tift in tracts of
from five acres to four hundred and ninety acres, and is placed on the mar
ket by him not for profit, but for the purpose of settling his county with a
desirable class of thrifty, industrious and substantial people.
This land is what is known as “wire grass” land. It is composed
of the famous South Georgia “red pebbly soil,” than which there is
nothing more fertile, more productive and more easily tilled and cul
tivated. . ’ | y
’ On this land may be grown in profusion, all grain and vegetable
crops, truck fruit, nuts and cotton. The soil is absolutely virginr- .
never before touched by a plow—and is strong and Three
crops a year is the rule.
The- climate is mild and healthy. The water is pure. Malaria, fe
vers and other diseases are extremely rare.
I All these tracts are close to excellent transportation and to the best
markets of Georgia, Alabama and other States/ Tifton is on four com
peting lines of railway and enjoys excellent train service and .equitable
freight rates.
The county and the city, are notable for the great preponderance of
white citizens and for their cleanliness and progressiveness.
For the man who wishes a truck farm or a piece of land of any size for any
agricultural purpose this offer is of great and genuine interest. Investigation will
reveal that the closer you look into the proposition the better it becomes, yfrite
