HOG CHOLERA.

Valuable Information to RnIsers of Swine.
Please give symptoms and best treat
ment for hog cholera.-W. f.. G., New
Berne, N. c.
Answer-Tho following remedies are
the best that can be procured for this
dread disease: The first 10 from the
United States department.; the second
was sent me by friend with an mr.
gent request to publish. We would
very much like to know II the latter
accomplishes all that is claimed for it.
Some of the symptoms OF cholera are,
short, hoarse cough, fever running at
the nose, shivering, efforts to volnit,
tottering gait and sometimes paralysis,
constipation, succeeded by diarrhpa,
dark purple blotches on the skin, with
great soreness and sometimes ulcera-
ton.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
Of animal industry, has just issued a
bulletin on this subject which ought
to be in the hands of every hog
keeper, and can be obtained on appli-
cation to the department Of agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c. DR.. Salmon
says that whilst no absolutely certain
cure can be found for any disease, and
certainly not for hog cholera, yet
that, as the result of a long series OF
experiments, the following has been
found to be most efficacious formula
in most cases of this disease, and Is
valuable as preventive:
Wood charcoal, one pound; sulphur,
one pound: sodium chloride, two
pounds: sodium bicarbonate, two
pounds; sodium hyposulphite. two
pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound
sntimony sulphide, one pound.

give large tablespoonful for each zoe
