Uute Sprny CiilriHlur. <Coiitrlbuted by Ontario Deiiartineiit of Agriculture, Toronto.) THE syuiptonifi of hog cholern differ somewhat aooordins to the virulence of lli< virus and the resiHtinp pow or of the hogs In any particular out l)real(. Owing to this variation, twr. forms of the disease are recognized â€" the so-caUed acute form and ihr chronic forms. In the acute or severe form, ttu hogs slckt-n and die quickly, appear- ing to be well one day and frequently dead the next. In the chronic or le.sf .severe form, the hog.s may be siclf for weeks before they die or get better. When cholera enters a liord, tlic hogs do not all become sick at oner. One or two fail to come for theii feed and will be found lying down iti some dark corner. On bein;; laisoJ up their backs will he arched, and they will shiver as with cold. The> soon become thin and tucked up in llie flank and stagger around when trying to walk, the hind legs being paiticiilarly weak, The eyes become inflamed and .show a whitish di.*!- chaiKd, Kometlmes cau.sing the lids tn slick together. When the limgs get affected there is a cough. Constipa- tion is noticed at lirsl. followed by diarrhoea; red and purple blodhen appear on the skiu of ears', l)elly, and inner stirface.s of the legs. The tem- poral lire of the sick hogs will ri.se to as high a.s 107 degrees F. or even higher, the normal temperature of healthy animals being 101 to 104 de- grees F. -^ .MetliodM of Spreading. .So far as known, the virus of hog cholera will not propagate outside the body of the hog. As already stat- ed, the virus is given off in large quantities in the urine and f;i(,;,«i cljs<Jiai;^es of sii;k Ji.QgSi AtiynUng that gets contaminated with these discharges is liable to spread the dis- ease to healthy hogs that come in contact with it. Consequently, boxes, wagons, aiut cars in which sick ani- mals are shipped, are potent sources for spreading the disease. The pens and yards in which sick animals have run get heavily contaminated, so that anyone walking over the same gel lliojr shoes and clothes contaminated, and may carry the disease to other lierds subsequently visited. Prevention and Treatment. Kiom what has been said above re- garding the way the disease is spread, it will at once be. seen that one way to keep the disease from a lieallhy herd is to take all stejis ne- cessary to prevent materials contam- inated by sick hogs from coming in contaci with the healthy herd. In Canada (by order of the Veter- inary Director-t^ieneral) â€" If by any cliaiue the disease gains entrance to a liord anywhere in Canada, the lawn of the Dominion require that a Veter- inary inspector be notified without delay. Failure to make this notifica- tion means loss of compensation for animals slaughtered under the act, and liability to a heavy line. â€" I'rof. U. U. Jones, O. A. College, Guelph. .

Spraying is somelhiuK (hat can- not wait, It must be done at a dell- nite lime. Failure to do it then means failuie to get clean fruit. Kx- perience shows there is no one factor so iinportanl in obtaining a good crop as Hprayliii;. Therefore ajiply busi- ness-like forcl bought to it. Kstimato at once how much material you will iieeil and place your order for this not later than Alarch 1st with deti- nile inslnictiona to have it shipped to you by the (iiHl week in April. If you have to piircliase a new out- lit find out the make .\<)u think best and have it shipped just as soon as possible. Run no risk ot its not be- ing on hand when ri'quired. If the old oulUl is to be used do not fail to overhaul and lest it out in March or early April. Don't leave It until the lirst day of spraying. If you have to send il away to be repaired remem- ber that many otliers will be doing tlie same and if you postpone sending until April you will in tlie rush of [ work have to wait your turn and may I not get it back until after spraying has begun. This often happens. What discourages and annoys you most when spraying? Is it not delays and poor pressure? With proper foresight and a little knowledge of tlie mechanism of your engine and I puini) you can almost entirely pie- vent Ibis annoyance, discouragement and loss of time and money; so learn j lo do your own reiJaiiing as far as \ possible, pack your own pump ami j clean your own engine. If, however, iyoii have no niechunical ability, get a bandy neighbor to help you. Work with him yourself to learn all you I can. I IJe determined that this year yon I will do your spraying right,- that you I will have a good working outlit with no leakages, good long hose liriiily ' attached, good nozzles or a good j Bpray gun, plenty of nuiterhil, a ! dpray calendar lo guide you and ' everything ready to siaii the first day ' iho spraying season opens. j If you do your part the spray will ! ilo its part, and Iho reiuilt will he a clean crop. You cannot bo loo Ihoughiful aboiil your Kpiaylng. N'olhing about the orchard pays bo j well a.s intelligent spraying. You can't do it intelligently unless you iro ready and follow directions caiifuny.â€" L. Caesar, D.S.A., O, A, CoUcge, Guelpb. HtarUng Kurly Tlants. Growers desire lo have vegetable* as early as possible, and (or this rea- son it is necessary to slart plants like cabbage, cauliflower and beets in hotbeds. Others like tomatoes and peppers have too long a season of growth to ripen a Hiifncicnt amount of the crop lo make il pay. This method gives us from four to six weeks start. Hot beds should be on the south side of a fence or building . Obtain good fresh manure, turn twice to get fermentation well )>larted. Put il in a pile about eighteen inchei^ to two feet in height, and a fool larger each way than the frame, being careful to tramp il thoroughly. To do this put il up in layers of six inches. Tlien put on the frame, which should be eighteen Inches at the back and twelve Inches at the front, facing south. Put in four to six inches ot soil and put on the glass. Air every days for the hist four days to gel rid of the gases generated by the fermentation. The soil is then raked and made ready for seed sowing. The seed is generally sown in rows three Inches apart, about 10 seeds to Iho inch. When the seedlings are showing the lirst true leaf they are transplanted lo other beds, the plants being set two inches apart each way. With cabbage, cauliflower, beets and lettuce, this one transplanting is all that is necessary. Tomatoes, egg plants, pepper and such plants re- quire Iwi) transplantings, (he last one four inches apart each way, or into four inch clay pots or quart berry baskets. Ventilation and watering are the two most difficult problems in hot- bed management. Ventilation should be given whenever possible. Even on stormy days the sash should be lifted even if it is only the thickness of a lath that is placed under It. Many growers use a piece of lath three inches long. This gives them three different distances of ventilation, and it may be laid on the glass when not in use, end will be always ready. Always have (he opening away from (he wind. You should also ventilate after watering lo prevent scalding. Water carefull\, only give what the plant requires, especially in the early season, and only in bright days, in the morning. The pUinis must be dried oft by night. As the plants grow the watering will, of necessity, be oft en' r, but care and thought should bo used at all lime. â€" A. H.
