HOW TO TREAT
HOG CHOLERA
STATE LIVE STOCK INSPECTOR
GIVES ADVICE IN CASE OF
OUTBREAK.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. "a
When asked what particular conta-
.ious disease of live stock is most
prevalent In Tennessee at the present
time. Dr. Geo. H. White, State Live
Stock Inspector, said:
Hog cholera is causing by far
more financial loss than any other, or,
may truthfully say, all other conta-
glous diseases combined. 1t is rag
ing in almosi every county in the
state. Thousands of hogs are dying
and the hog owners are becoming ex-
coedingly restless on account of the
heavy losses. My department is be.
ing beseiged almost every day by ap-
peals from farmers and their neigh.
bors and friends for assistance in
treating and preventing the further
spread of this fatal hog disease,
There apepars to be an erroneous
popular idea afioat to the effect that
the State Agricultural Department is
| in position to furnish free anti-hog
cholera serum for use Of the hog own.
ers. This is mistake, as the bill
introduced at the last session Of the
Legislature providing the necessary
appropriation for this very purpose
was defeated. The only thing could
do would be TO serve a quarantine no
,ice, and in my opinion this would be
IF doubtful value.
Immediately upon the outbreak of
hog cholera in a neighborhood the
hog owners should order a supply of
anti-hog cholera serum from any Of
the many reliable commercial firms
now engaged in the manufacture or
serum Upon arrival of the serum Sc
cure the services Of the local veteri-
marian to make the injections Do
not depend upon this being done free
by the state at this time as there is
no provision for it. l simply throw
nut this advice for what it Is worth,
and | hope the press of Tennessee
Will give it as wide publicity as posi-
Bile, az / am anxious for the swine
owners to know the attitude of this
department as regards hog cholera.

his belief that most of the drunken

DR.. Harvey Wiley, pure food expert,

as solution for a critical situation
that all drinking men and men who
treat be forced to take out individu-
ri licenses.
Il have stopped drinking in my

drunk.
IF l had my way we would stop
making saloon keepers pay huge IL
cense fees. Why not charge them a
nominal fee and regulate them? Then
put the real tax on the drinkers.
Make every person who wants to
drink take out a license and pay a
dollar year for it. II any person
is seen to be drinking too much OF
bis family needs the money or he has
weak constitution, then refuse to
give him a license.
when man goes into a saloon
make him present his license num-
Der and pay one cent into the internal

seen that saloon keeper is giving
too many drinks to any one man,
then stop the saloon mans license.
