really required among farmers is more
harmony confidence in one another and
willingness to help the under dog IN the s.
fight for bread.
In the year 1884 was feeding 100
head of hogs, besides fifty stock hogs.
just before oats harvest, the stock hogs
got in the oats field. They were driven
out, but with a great deal OF trouble.
Some Of the hogs were overheated Ind
laid down in pond, where some OF
them died and were left unburied. Buzz
yards were attracted. Within ten days
I had the first case of hog cholera in the
county.

arriving home, found sixteen dead hogs,
all stockers. The balance OF the herd.
were nearly all sick, including those that
/ was feeding. s.s

and having followed the old saw, "a
stitch in time saves nine,' had procured
hog cholera receipt, not expecting ever.
to have the disease on the farm.
had hog hospital and worked day.
and night. Did not lose another hog IN
the LOT. Cured hogs that were SO bad
that they could neither kick nor squeal.s
AS the disease was new at that time, the
neighbors gathered in to sec me "curea
dead hogs" From that day to this, have
never as yet, with the exception OF lew
cases, tried outside of my own hogs.
My great aim has been to find out.
what hog cholera is, its cause and cure.
AS vet. have never found anyone thar
agreed with me, but can prove that my
theory is correct and stand to reason n.
Typhoid fever in the human family and
hog cholera are one and the same disease,
hut hogs have the disease in a more VIC
leat form Have known cats to die with
ii, and studied the progress of the dis.
ease. Rats have it, bat not in a violent
form.
Through the last source The disease
breaks cut in unexpected places, as the
rats will leave the germs Of disease in
the corn; the good wife feeds this corn
sAe her chickens; the farmer starts his
Shogs on the old corn. As before stated
fever and hog cholera are the
same. Have known the fever to go
through al, entire family; any one visit
