HOG CHOLERA.

Bome Good Advice as to Means OF
Prevention. II
1t 10 difficult to estimate the loss In
diana farmers have sustained from
hog cholera and swine plague this
year, says the Bulletin Of the Indiana
Experiment station.
In some counties it will reach $685.
600, and If the whole state has suf-
fered as much as the northwestern
portion, the total will probably exceed
100000.
There are two diseases responsible
for these leavy losses, hog cholera
and swine plague. As they are much
alike in symptoms and occur under
similar conditions, they may be treat
ed as one disease. Both are germ dis
eases of such fatal characte that only
a small per cent Of the hogs attacked
ever recover. Medical treatment Sls
not very effectual. Preventive mea-
sures are more successful, and are the
ones to be adopted.
These diseases, being due to germs,
cannot exist without the germs being
present. They are taken into the body
with the food. water and air. The
closer animals come in contact, the
greater the possibilities of spreading;
hence, healthy and diseased animals
should be separated as soon as the dis
ease is recognized. The healthy hogs
should be taken from the sick, and not
the sick from the we'll, as, in the lat
ter case, the excrement and secre
tons containing the contagious princi-
v,1o 1of ~, hn
straw and troughs. During an out
break it is better to have the herd di-
vided in punches of about fifteen, in
small pastures, rather than large
herd in a large field.
The hogs should not have access to
ponds or wallows, as this affords IA
vorable conditions for the germs. The
drinking water should be from deep
wells. The food should be clean aud
often changed. If hog has been sep
| arated from the Eerd and RECEIVERS, it
should not be returned to the herd for
| several weeks, as it is capable of Civ
| ing the disease to Others although it
may appear to be perfectly well. Hogs
should not be placed in pens where the
disease has been for three months.
All dead animals should be burned or
buried deeply in places where hogs
will not Craze for a year. Diseased
hogs should not be driven through
lanes or other public highways. The
healthy hogs should be cared for first.
and then the diseased otherwise dis
| ease-bearing material may be con-
veyed to the healthy. Clean the pens,
use plenty Of air-slacked lime on the
floors before using again.
The following formula, given by the
bureau Of animal industry, is as ettica-
| cious as anything known as prevent
i've and remedy. 1t has given fair re-
suits:
Wood charcoal, 1 pound; sulphur, l
pound; sodium chloride, 2 pounds; So
dunn. hyposulphite, 2 pounds; sodium
bicarbonate, 2 pounds; sodium sulph-
ate, | pound; anthony sulphide, 1
pound. r.. ;~....: =
