HOG DISEASES.
The Only Successful Method of Prevent

The Only Successful Method of Prevent
ing the Spread of Contagion.
Suppose every farmer concluded that
every other farmers hogs were afflicted
with contagious disease, what would
he do first to prevent his own from
catching the contagion? VIII the reader
stop just there before reading further,
and ask himself that question and an
swer itp 1t can be answered.; it must be
both answered and acted upon sooner or
later if we would save our stock from
disease and death. We have talked and
talked; we have written and rewritten;
we have doctored and dosed; we have
tried this man S remedy, and that mans,
too, and our own into the bargain, what
has it all amounted to? We have hog
cholera yet; we have much and more of
it, and the longer it exists the more we
have of it. Have we acted the part of
sensible and intelligent men, or the part
of lot of automatons, knowing moth
ing and acting only as pieces of ma
chinery? We have no hes.tancy in say
ing that in the vast majority of cases we
have done nothing but dose and pretend
to doctor much as an automaton would
do its work, and that in very large
percentage of other cases we have done
but little better than automatons.
Our talking and writing, our dosing
and doctoring have all been futile; time
and labor and money all thrown away
and we are getting deeper into the mire
every month and losing more every
year. Why? Because we do not, will
not take an intelligent view of the situa-
ton and act upon Is. This is as the
world goes; men growl and complain;
they talk among themselves; they do
bate this matter and that, and it ends in
talk.
If man knew That Asiatic cholera
was prevalent in his neighborhood and
he wished to save his family from the
contag on and was determined to do SO
if possible, what would he do? He
would take that family away to where
the contagion could not reach them.
He would not only remove his family,
but he would also disinfect the premises
they were to live in, would see to it
there were no mud-holes or cess-pools,
no disease breeding effiuvia arising from
filthy deposits, that their food was pure
and free from disease-breeding condi-
tons, and would generally take every
possible precaution. So must the swine
