HOG oLERA.-Duriny the past few
weeks our farmers have lost q considerable
number of hogs from the effects OF cholera,
and the large number of remedies used have
been Of but little, il any use. Ina CONVERSE
ton ut our office few mornings ago with
Hon. Outerhridge Horsey, one Of our most
extensive farmers, says the editor Of the Cit.
ixen, we gathered the following valuable in
formation. Mr.. Horsey stated that he had
heard OF the application OF coal oil, and that
he had tried 1t on eleven head OF sick hogs,
and that ont Of the number, seven had re.
covered; in every instance where the disease
had not progressed too far before the rene
dy was applied a recovery was the result.
The application is made by pouring q tea
spoonful into each of the hogs ears. It IL
very simple and inexpensive remedy and
one that should be tried without delay. We
sYe OF the opinion that our farmers are act,
ing very imprudently in not burying the
hogs that die from the effect of cholera, and
thus prevent the spread of the disease. We
will M very glad to hear from our friends.
