Hog Disease and It's Treatment,
BY FREDERICK II. BRUNERT.

The name of the disease {cholera)
is undoubtedly as erroneous as
could be adopted. We might as
well say when constipation and
diarrhGa make their appearance in
a consumptive person that he had
the cholera, as to say that the cpl
demic among hogs IS cholera. Any
one that will take a knife and open
a hog can see this. All persons |
have talked with on this subject,
in this and other States, prove to
me that the disease is one and the
same. In a correspondence with
Prof. j. l.. Smith, Louisville, KY,
on meteorites Ga man | highly res
pect both as a gentleman and a
man of science) | stated what | be-
lieved being hog cholera, and in
an answer he wrote, 81 have no
doubt that your are on the right
track about the nature Of the dis
ease, for | have looked a little into
it myself"
THE REMEDY.
1t is always easier to ruin than
to build-to get into trouble than
out Of it. | am confident, unless
we farmers work tremendously to-
gether that the hog malaria will
sift every drove of hogs in the
United States, and do it repeated
ly, unless we find means to prevent
it.
The best remedy | know Of, and
| know that | am right, is a care
full selection in sows and male hogs
to breed from. Never buy a hog
out Of a drove that has not been
sifted by the malaria. Select for
breeding sows only those which
have a deep and wide chest, no
matter if their noses are a little
long and their rumps a little short
er than common, which is often the
case. Avoid Berkshires, unless
you have no other breed. The
Berkshire is naturally a slow
growth, and has suffered more bv
being forced to fast maturity than
any of the balance.
If there is any malaria in the
neighborhood, keep a close watch
on your drove, and if any get sick,
take them away from the balance.
Give salt and coal freely, but not
among their feed-the hogs know
best what they need. Change their
feed, if convenient. Never keep
your hogs confined in a close pen,
but give them no chance to get
with other hogs if there is malaria
about. Give pure water and good
feed.
Pay no attention to any of the
great hog cholera doctors. If the
hog is sick, and he will not eat.
there is nine chances out of ten
that he will die. When a hog is

this sprinkle a portion of the phos-

layer of stable manure three inches
thick, and continue to repeat these

We yesterday paid a visit to the
farm machinery warerooms OF the
Messrs. f. G. Hanna & Co.. who
keep one of the most extensive as
sortments of all that is new and
useful in this line to be found on
the Coast. This firm are the agents
for Osborn & Co.'s "Self-binding
Harvester" one of which has been
in use by Mr.. Titus of Mission San
Gabriel, who pronounces it a thor
ough machine which does its work
to perfection. All their other farm
machinery is of the same kind and
stands second to none yet invented.
They are also agents for the Stover
and Freeport windmills which for
cheapness and durability are unri-
vailed. Farmers and all others
requiring anything in this line will
find it to their advantage to call
and examine their stock.
