stockmen Of the state. Farmers are be-
ginning to realize that correct sanitation
is the great thing in the production of
stock, especially OF hogs.
mo longer is a hog to be taken for the
type of all that is dirty and uncean," he
says. Cholera can be prevented entirely.
Eighty-seven per cent OF the so-called chol-
era is nothing but worms and colds among
the swine. A well-condltioned hog now
adays must have certain medicines admin
istered In his food to offset the forcing
process of feeding and the germs and para
sites that fatten so handily upon him. He
should have a movable platform to feed
from. one that can be washed and dragged
about TO prevent the accumulation of germ
producing filth underneath. For the same
reason the hog lot should have no perma-
nent buildings at all. Moreover the hog
should be washed In a medicated dip 10 re-
move the scurf from his hide.
THE output of hogs will be greater this
year than last"

FINK WANTS TO HASTEN WORK
County Treasurer Gets Anxious About
Delay in scavenger Tax Matters.
THINKS ANOTHER JUDGE is NEEDED
TrOup Doing All He Can, but Fink
Says Volume of Work
IL Too Great for
One.

County Treasurer Fink is getting a bit
anxious concerning the delay in getting ju-
dicial action on delinquent property under
the scavenger tax law There are at pres
ent pending S.2S5 cases in which answers
have been made and as Judge Troup alone
is hearing this class of cases the progress
made is necessarily slow For the next
sale, which win begin August /, there win
be only $50 to 800 pieces on the list TO be
advertised.
Il do not think the city legal department,
which handles the scavenger tax cases, or
Judge Troup, VINO tries them. are at all TO
blame" said Mr.. Fink. There are so many
cases that the detail work. when handled
with the regular business OF the city at
torney's office and OF Judge Troup's court,
ts enormous. II some remedy is not ap-
piled, however, II can readily be seen that
the disposal OF all the cases now pending
will require a number OF years. l do not
know whether It Is feasible or not. but II
possible my idea would be TO hire extra
legal talent and have more than one Judge
at work on the scavenger tax cases; other
wise very slow progress must be the rule.
