Keep the germs away from your farm and
grounds. Look our for polluted flowing
water. You can carry the disease on your
boots from an infected locality. On the
writer's farm there has never been a case
Of hog cholera or foot rot in sheep, simply
because the necessary precautions have
been taken. Sheep and hogs are the kinds
of stock kept on the farm as morey-
makers. There has never been a case OF
lung or stomach worm in sheep. and We
attribute this to the fact that new pasture
has usually been prepared for the lanms."
