As the season Of hog cholera IN com
Ing on apace, n few hints In connection
with this subject may be In order.
First, II Ii necessary to remember
that the disease Is contagious and that
u spreads In the herd and to other
herds by the contagious Of virus being
conveyed from place to place. This
virus is more often carried by n sick ar
exposed pig, but may be transmitted
In many other ways, rs ON the feet Of
attendants, by means Of streams Of
water, by dogs and carrion birds feed.
ing on cholera carcasscs, etc. My OBJ
scrvation has been that the disease
often follows the highway, showing
that the virus has in some way been
carried from farm to farm, In many
instances coming under my obscrva.
tion this transmission has occurred as
result of swine running at large.
When the disease once appears In the
herd the food and drink becomes con.
taminatcd with the contaRion present
In the droppings Of the diseased, and
thus all to u greater or less extent are
exposed.
Remembering these facts IL IN easy to
understand that certain precautionary
measures will much tend to lesson the
danger of AN outbreak and restrict its
spread when IL does occur In the herd
During cholera times no hogs snould
be allowed to run at large and no new
ones be brought onto the farm for any
purpose whatever, except they he kept
away from the herd for sufficient time
To prove that they are free from disease.
Herds should he fenced away from
streams contaminated by cholera herds
and all owners or attendants OF healthy
herds should not go about cholera prem
iscs without thoroughly disinfccting
their boots before going among their
own hogs. Owners of cholera hogs
should not go about his neighbor's
healthy animals
When the disease appears ON the
farm the well should bc removed To
new yards and lime In the form of
whitewash applied to troughs and all
wood work, and sprinkled over the
ground dry. should be freely used.
This will lessen the number Of germs
or the amount Of the virus continually
being taken into the system. The NJ.
fcctcd hogs should he fed sparingly
and may receive to advantage the pow
der recommended by the Bureau of
Animal Industry. Water from II deep
well is always preferable. Under no
consideration should hogs be allowed
To drink from stagnant pools.
by being extremely careful about
bringing the virus on the farm and OBJ
serving the necessary precautions even
after the disease appears the loss from
swine disease may be very much lessen
cd.
The serum treatment now being cx-
tensivcly tried promises much, but
still even the presence Of n successful
cure the treatments outlined above are
very necessary. Prevention Is always
better than u curc..--W. B. Niles, As.
