Col. r. T. Bean Of the Wichita live
stock commission firm. returned last even
ing from business trip in Oklahoma. He
reports marketable fat hogs as very
scarce IN that country. the very heavy
shipments the past season about draining
that section OF this grade OF stock. Stock
hogs he says, are likewise at a premium,
and though there are some OF this grade
in sight, not near the number there should
be 20 use the vast stores Of feed that will
be produced this year. All crops, he

When cholera breaks out among the
hogs separate the healthy from the dis
eased ones and place both lots in new
and roomy qUarters-a large, high and
dry field will be most suitable, says the
Kansas Farmer. See TO il that neither the
diseased pigs, nor the excremeuts of these
nor the carcasses OF dead ones can in any
way, directly or indirectly, come in con-
tact with the healthy ones. Even have
separate attendants II your herds are
large. II you have the same attendant
for both lots, care for the healthy ones
first and then for the diseased ones. You
thus avoid one danger Of carrying and
spreading the conta gion. Thoroughly dis
infect the old pens by using corrosive
subImate in one-hfth per cent solutions,
or per cent solutions Of crude carbolic
acid as a wash for floors, walls, pos,s.

troughs of healthy and diseased lots with
Feed a mixed diet; corn. oats. shorts,
middlings, clover or alfalfa, etc. Don't
feed corn alone; although it cannot pro-
duce the disease, IL does not nourish the
body sufficiently to enable 1t TO with
stand ordinarily harmless influences. If
you feed milk. boil IL thoroughly before
doing so. Observe every precaution in
the way OF cleanliness, giving pure food
and water, and in introducing newly-pur-
chased pigs with uncertain health certifi-
Gates. All dead pigs and the droppings
of the diseased ones should be destroyed
by fire. By following these directions
carefully, which means absolutely as here
given, you can check the disease and per-
haps save some Of the diseased animals.
Medicinal treatment is of little value n
this disease
