THE Rural World states that hog cholera is
caused by the eating of carriOn food dropped
by buzzards. This is unique, but it is not cor
rect. The real cause of the disease lies in the
fact that farmers neglect to cut off the tails of
the pigs when they are young. If you are an
observing man, you will have noticed that no
hog minus a tail ever had the cholera. The
germs of the scourge lie in the tail thus caus-
ing the twist peculiar to it, and as the animal
advances in years the germs spread into the
body and eventually cause death of the most
absolute kind. There are several remedies for
the hog cholera, but OILY one is reliable.
When a hog first rises in the morning it should
be given a cocktail to stimulate its stomach
and induce perspiration. This should be fol-
lowed by a vigorous shampoo, after which the
four footed invalid should be given a Turkish
bath. If this course be followed every morn
ing the ANNA! will speedily recover and live
to a green old age. But it is better to prevent
than to cure. Therefore. be sure to amputate
the hogs tail when young; do the work in the
dark of Ihe moon when the sign is in the feet,
and all will be well. There is no reason to be
afraid of buzZar,fs. These intellectual birds
have so much work of their own to do that
they positively have not time to go around
distributing hog cholera-Topics.
