Cure for Hog Cholera.


D. E. Salman, d. V. NJ, Chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington,
D. c., says
In many outbreakes the type Of the NAL
adv is less virulent and there is time to
treat the animals after they are sick, and
also the whole herd after some members OF
it have shown that they are diseased. For
long time after beginning the investiga-
tions of the infections diseases of swine,
the writer was doubtful if any remedy OF
combination Of remedies could be made
which would produce any marked effect.
The experiments of the last year, however,
indicate that treatment if properly applied
may be successful.
The most efficious formula which has
been tried is the following
Pounds
Wood charcoal ........-..".. |
Sulphur
Sodium chloride. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 2
Sodium bicarbonate ................. 2
Sodium hyposulphite. 2
tOONiuui -. .. - - - -
Antimony sulphide black antimony) l
These ingredients should be completely
pulverized and thoroughly mixed.
The dose of this mixture is a large table
spoonful for each 200 pounds weight of
hogs to be treated, and it should be given
only once day When hogs are affected
with these diseases they should not be fed
on corn alone, but they should have at
least once a day soft feed, made by mixing
bran and middlings, or middlings and corn
meal, or ground oats and corn, or crushed
wheat with hot water, and then stirring
into this the proper quantity of the medi-
cine. Hogs are fond of this mixture, it
increases their appetite, and when they
once taste of food with which it has been
mixed they will eat it though nothing else
would tempt them.
The question arises, what disposition
should be made of the hogs during treat
ment, and what sanitary measures should
be adopted in addition to the medical treat
ment? When hogs are first found to be
affected with hog cholera or swine plague
the lot of pens where they have been con-
fined should be disinfected by busting
plentifully with dry, air-slacked lime, or
by sprinkling FIVE per cent. solution of
crude carbolic acid The animals should
then all be moved to new quarters If
possible the sick and apparently well should
be separated before they are moved and
then put into different lots This is not
essential, but it is an aid to the treatment.
The hogs should be kept in dry lots, or
pens, where there is no mud, and above
all, no stagnant water 1t is well to keep
these lots disinfected by the free use of
air Stacked lime or carbolic acid.
If any hogs die during the progress of
the outbreak their carcasses should be i'm
mediately burned or deeply buried, and
the places where they have lain or the
ground over which they are dragged
should be disinfected with earbolic acid or
lime according to the method already
mentioned

The Proteetionist Performance.

The following is a, part Of EXON
gresham John De Witt Warmers criti-
Cism of the Dingley bill:
"As il stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors in
the Fifty-frst congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
"a bill to reduce revenues The Dingley
bill is specially commended as revenue
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon
sugar-a single item Of the breakfast
table-one- third Of the total amount Of
the tariff tax proposed. The items
which are supposed to help the farmer
are good examples of so setting your
trap as to 'cotch em a-cumin' and a.
gwine. For instance, we have reci-
procity in order to give the farmers a
market abroad for what it is assumed
they cannot produce for home con-
sumption unless they are highly pro-
tected, as is done by another section Of
the bill"
