afraid and excited and kept on the
run. Therefore they have put up

cuted according to the utmost rigor

when disease puts in an appear
ance among the hogs in a community
do not disguise 1t, but let it be known
that all hands may. take precaution
against its spread. Ever be on the
alert for cholera, for it oftentimes
gets into ones herd before he ia
aware it is in the community" Yes,
that is very true, and l have often
thought. and am pretty certain
now. that the farmers dogs do more
to spread contagious diseases than
anything else. 1t is only a short
time since we buried pig IS inches
below the surface that was afterward
uncovered and had to be re-buried.
and that frequently occurs. The
dogs prowl round in the night and
go from one farm yard to another,
and the time is fast coming when we
shall have to decide whether we will
sacrifice our hogs or our dogs.
