WASHINGTON, April 26.—At thin
••aeon of the year, when city an.’,
guburban dwellers are repairing
^helr lawna, says the "Bureau of
Solid Farmers' Bulletin," It la well to
examine the soil to a depth of from
twelve to twenty-four inche* to aee
1f there are any bricks, tin cans,
hoards and other coarse building

reason that gram does not thrive on
the average city lawn Is that the
majority of them have a filler of this
kind of rnbblah, and of course grass
will not gTow on auch Infertile ma
terial.
Summarized, the Bulletin aays that
‘in general a lawn should be both
beautiful and useful. Its beauty de
pends upon the contour of the land,
the color and texture of the grass
and the uniformity of the turf. Its
use Is to provide a suitable setting
for architectural adornment and
landscape planting. It is desirable
in casea of small ground area to give
the lawn as great extent as possible.
To this end the buildings should be
well back, the foundation not too
high, and the grading slightly convex,
»o »s to make a rolling surface from
♦he foundation to the street line.
Debris Stops Rise of Water.
"Bricks, flat tins, boards and other
coarse building debris found In nearly
all small lawns In the city, while
probably facilitating the downward
movement of water. Impedes Its up
ward movement. And lawn soil
should hare a good supply of mois

for by any amount or kind of chemi

“A soil for lawns should consist of
clay, silt, very fine sand, medium
sand, coarse sand and fine gravel.
The "texture" of the soil 1s a partic
ularly Important factor in a lawn.
Clay usually makes a very strong j
lawn soil, giving a dense sod. Clay
loam soils, when well drained and
carefully handled, are well suited for
greensward. Silt loam soils are ideal
♦or lawn making but they must have
good drainage and be liberally sup
plied with organic matter.
Sandy Soils Not Suitable.
Loam soils, with good drainage
and contain sufficient organic matter,
i will maintain good lawns. The coarse
sandy soils are unsuitable for lawn
I purpose*, although certain grasses
*• will grow upon them. A fair lawn
may be established on soils of fine
sandy type by paying especial at
tention to the preparation of the soil

or green manure with bone phosphate

watering during the dry seasons. The

In general grass seeds are small,
for them the surface seed bed
nets 1 not be more than one Inch In
depth; but the grasses as they be
come established send out long lateral
(calling roots; therefore, deep culti
vation and thorough preparation of
atjjeast eight or ten Inches of the
surface soil Is advisable
Stable Manure Called Beet.
Sft la hardly possible to make the
soil too rich. Rtable manure, thor
oughly composted and rotted and as
frse as possible from detrimental

loads ars not too much for sn acre
of .greensward.
“Most grasses which have creep
ing root stocks, short Joints and pro
duce long, narrow leaves In abund
ance above the crown, make good
lawns. Pure seed of high germina
tion is of great importance In se
curing a good stand of grass. It is
better to use an excessive amount of
seed and allow natural selection to
eliminate the weak specimens rather
than, to seed sparsely.
Bluegrass and bent grass, If used in
combination, should be sown at the
rate of 3 to 5 bushels of seed to the
acre. If bluegrass alone la used it
should not be less than fifty pounds

The progress of the world's fair is
now visible. The Work is farther ad
vanced at the present time than at
any other previous exposition two
years before its formal opening.
Much Filling-In Done.
The preliminary work includes the
fllling-in of lands at Harbor View !
and the Presidio. The construction
of a rock sea wall; construction of
the enclosing fence. 80 per cent com
plete; the erection of greenhouses
and potting houses at the Presidio;
the moving of buildings from the ac

storm sewer systems throughout the
grounds; the preliminary work of in
stallation of the high pressure water
system; the driving of piles for the
freight ferry slips at the. foot of
Buchanan Street, and the hundreds
of other necessary undertaking' -
which of themselves gave no visible
evidence of the enormous work
already being accomplished.
Seven thousand men will be at
work on the exhibit palaces of the
exposition before the summer is over.
As high as ten thousand men will be
employed when the labor peak is
reached. This number is exclusive
of those who will be employed in the
construction of State, .buildings arid
foreign pavilions. "rhe Star "8 add

groups of statunrj and for many of
the mural paintings have already
been let to prominent artists and
sculptors In San Francisco. New - York
and other cities of the United States.
The direction of the color work has
been entrusted to Jules Guerin, and

In a sense, the serum is an Insur
ance against loss by cholera. In
fact, a. more inviting live stock in
surance could hardly be conceived
than insurance against loss by hog
cholera, the insuring company being
given permission to inoculate with
preventive serum.
Delay Often Fatal.
But the owner, as a rule,' is not.
willing to put himself to the expense
of such insurance until the disease
has made its appearance. Then it is
too late to save the sick hogs and the
loss sustained usually amounts to a
good deal more than it would have
cost to inoculate all the hogs be
forehand.
Unlike vaccination for smallpox
where the vaccinated person Is given
a "light touch” and is thus immun
ized the serum makes the pig re
sistant to the disease by creating
certain resistive substances that
overcome the bacteria or virus of
cholera whatever it may be. The
fact is no one has, with certainty,
isolated the germ that causes hog
cholera.
The resistant substance of the ser
um is an anti-toxin so far as known;
that. is. its action is chemical, not
bacterial. It has a chemical force
opposing toxins or poisons.
The resistive substance mentioned
Is carried in the blood of a hog
which has been made hyper-immune.
By hyper-immune is meant strongly
immune.
Hog Shot With Germs.
The process of making a hog hy
per-immune is an interesting one and
is carried on at veterinary labora
tories or hospitals equipped for the
work. A pig is shot full of hog
cholera germs with a syringe needle.
At once there is a war to the bit
ter end between these contending
foreps. in the system of the hog, the
battle waging along the veins and
arteries tn the corpuscles and serum
of the blood. Unless preventive ser
um is Improperly made it wins the
dav; but no sooner has it cleared the
field of the enemy than it confronts
about five times as many hog cholera
germs as It has already slain.
In fact, the veterinarian has inject
ed into the hog the second time
enough hog cholera germs to kill 500
ordinary hogs. But he does not send
reinforcements to the preventive
serum. The serum must overcome
and to do so it must strengthen its
resistive power. This it does and
when it has gained the victory time
lias arrived for tapping the veins of
the hog and bottling some of the
strong preventive serum for use on
other hogs. If the hog reaches a
nomal temperature in about ten days
after injections it is said to be hyper
immune.
Food Value Not Hurt.
Serum producing hogs are bled
from the tail at intervals of one
week. After the fourth bleeding in
this way, the hog is again given
heavy dose, of virus or cholera germs,
and is again bled at intervals of a
week. The final bleeding is from tlie
neck of the hog when it is slaugh
tered. After slaughter the meat is
sold on tile market for food. It is a
healthy hog, of course, because it lias
The blood or serum which lias been
obtained from the hyper-immune hog
serves to protect a large number of
hogs from the disease after it has
been injected in proper doses.
Some Pigs Martyrs.
FTER the serum has been drawn
the carcass is burned or buried, just
as the carcasses of all hogs dying
of cholera should be burned or buried.
It is the only way to put out of the
way the source of infection which
this carcass will certainly prove if
left for scavengers.
Farmer Must Inoculate.
\AIHILE it is better to have a
** trained veterinarian to inoc
ulate with the serum, for the
most part it will be necessary for the
farmer himself to do It through Nie
South where veterinarians cannot be
readily obtained.
The process of inoculation Is sim
ple enough. Any farmer can do It.
The chief thing to learn is to use
sanitary measures, by sterilizing the
instruments and keeping everything
uncontaminated and clean in per
forming the operation. The average
farmer has more to learn about how
to do this than anything else about
the operation, not that the farmer is
naturally careless in this respect—
more than others not trained in sur
gery. But even sanitary precautions
are not difficult if the farmer will
follow plain instructions. Most of the
injection of hog cholera serum in the
South has been done by farmers, and
the fact that remarkably fine results
have been obtained shows the farmer
can do it successfully.
The plan most In force in the South
is to send out a syringe with the
serum and plain printed instructions.
The syringe is returned to be used
by some other farmer. These syr
inges are to be obtained in most of
the Southern States from the State
Veterinarian or from the State Col
lege of Agriculture.
Two Processes Used.
show that 92 per cent of those treated
escaped the disease—a pretty good
showing it will be admitted.
Thousands Dead Through Delay.
But there were thousands of hogs i
that died of cholera in Georgia j
because the farmer was slow to
take up the serum because It was
more expensive than some nostrum
that he was willing to try, and in a
few instances because the preventive
serum could not be obtained when it
was desired, so great had been the
demand on the laboratory of the
State manufacturing it. Farmers in
every State are making rapidly in
creasing demands for ltog cholera
serum and unless ample provisions
are made, such sources of supply can
not keep pace with the demand.

from the hyper-immune hog It
must he tested for potency, that
is. to see, if it will work. Usually
four pigs are used in the test. One
Is given a dose of virus or hog chol
era germs of the same kind used in
inoculating the hyper-immune hog
This is to determine whether the
virus was really strong enough to
cause cholera. Other pigs are inoc-
cuiated with varying amounts of oth
er virus at the same time they are
given the preventive serum. These
tests will determine whether the
hyper-immune pig in the first place
resisted hog cholera germs and how
strong the preventive serum is in
combatting cholera.
Usually, of course, the one pig that
is given the injection of hog cholera
germs takes the disease. These dis
eased pigs serve as a source of other
virus to inject into the next hog that
is to be made hyper-immune. Us
ually a sufficient supply of hog chol
era germs can be manufactured on
the premises in this way. The virus
or hog cholera germs must be taken
from the stek hog when it Is in the
acute stage of the disease, when the
germs are most active. This assures
the veterinarian that he is getting
the strongest possible virus for the
preventive serum to combat. The
stronger the fight the stronger the
preventive serum will be if it wins.
Virus and Serum Alike.
To all appearances the virus and
the preventive serum are alike. Both
are drawn in the same way from the
