Beware Of Hos Cholera

very depressing and weakening.
The hogs lose their appetite. They
may or may not have diarrhoea.
They may or may not salaver from
the mouth. The mocus mem branes
of the nose and mouth may turn
blush. They get very weak and
sick, often cannot raise up on their
hind quarters. In a general way
the symptoms resemble Hog Cholera
a great deal, aud is generally mis-
taken for Hog Cholera. II
Pleuro. pneumonia is q contagious
disease, and once 1t gets toot-hold
in a herd, the hog raiser is mighty
lucky if he can save one out of four
hogs. Tue most scientific way to
handle this disease is to prevent it,
and almost every hog raiser CAN
prevent it if he will observe the
following directions: = p.
Toward the fall of the year as
soon as it begins to get cool nights,
drive all the swine into sheds which
have board floors and are Uttered
with a very abundant supply Of
straw. These sheds should be kept
clean and thoroughly disinfected.
The starw should be changed at
least once or twice week, and the
floors and walls of the shed
thoroughly sprinkled with a solution
of "Gold Coin Germ Killer''-4
tablespoonsfuls to bucket of water
so to thoroughly disinfect the shed
and destroy all disease germs. At
the same time the hogs should be
fed "GoId Coin Hog Food as a
stimulating tonic. Arrange the
feed so that each hog will get about
a tablespoonful of the ''Gold Coin
Hog Food once OF twice day, de-
pending on the size. AS this disease
is a constitutional germ disease, it
must be treated from two Stand
points, namely: Internal 4 tonic,
stimulating treatment, such as is
provided in "Goid Coin Hog Food,
and second: the germs of pneumonia
must be destroyed and kept away
by a powerful Gisinfectant, such as
is provided in "Gold Coin Germ
Killer.
After the disease once gets into
the herd the sick hogs should be
removed into separate quarters, the
we'll hogs should be treated as above
described, but can be allowed to run
out during the day. The sicksGhogs
should be confined, treated I'M the
same way except they should be
more carefully nursed and given
better care and attention regarding
feeding. Once every day the hogs
should be given liberal feed of
field roots. Turnips and rutabagas
are the best, as the juice in them
tends to reduce the fever. They
should be fed either sliced or pulped.
All forms of field roots can be given
with much benefit. Corn should
be fed in moderation, if at all, until
the hogs are we'll. It's also very
important to push the feeding of
the t''Gold Coin Hog Food, as hogs
in this low and weakening state
are in great need of something
stimulating to the system.
To capitulate, first keep in mind
that the greatest cause Of death in
hogs in the fall of the year is
Pleuro-pneumonia. Second that,
PIeuro-pneumonia is caused by ex-
terror and germ infection. There
fore, it requires both internal and
external treatment. The internal
treatment must be of a stimulating
character Gold Coin hog Food).
The external treatment must he in
the form of a strong disinfectant to
ward off and destroy the germs Of
the disease. The quarters occupied
by the hogs should be kept
thoroughly clean and should be dis
infected at least once or twice
week. Use "'Gold Coin >Germ
Killer" for this purpose as it is the
strongest disinfectant now being
offered to stock raisers. It is guar:
anteed to contain over Is percent
of Cresols, other disinfectants con-
tainlng only from 8 to Is per cent.
When the hogs are affected with
