Peints on Hog Cholera

DR.. ID. F. Luckey, state yeterinar RAN,
has just issued a report on hog chol-
era.
AT present. all the advice that can
be given is to burn the bodies of the
cholera hogs" After advising against

a little common sense about bringing the
cnolera on your place. If you really th:nk
you need the cholera among your hogs,
TAKE a little time some day to go over to
among the sick hogs for awhile: go back
nome tramp around our own hogs.
and you can go to bed that night feeling
reasonably sure that in a few days your
hogs viii have the cholera If this should
fail, and II seldom does, wait till you hear
of a neiShbor who lives up the creek
and throwing their carcasses in or near
the creek. Then. as soon as the germs
nave time to wash down by you place,
get all your hogs together and drive
them to the creek for a drink. If the
weather is warm the hogs will generally
go to the creek without being driven,
of worry and exertion. If this fails, try
keeping a no-cOunt dog that runs all
over the country at night. If you will let
MN alone long enough he is sure to ind,
somewhere, a piece of hog that had died
about a year before with hog cholera.
Your neighbOr had buried it about six
inches deep, and the dog. for a mere
up. However. feeling a delicacy about ths
propriety OF depoSiting his bone upon the
'front.' porch. he generally goes out to the
to cover it up about one inch deep. The
hogs, of course. do not bother the dogs
