$4,000 FOR HOG
and CATTLE CURE
Present State legislature Will Be
Asked For Larger Appro-
priation.

The legislature in the last session
appropriated $4,000 to the Sanitary
Board of the state to be used for the
eradication of ticks, the treating of
hog cholera and various other things.
$4,000 of this amount was used in the
hog cholera campaign and it was ex-
hausted before the work was fairly
launched. However, this was enough
to convince the stock raiser and the
officials of what could be done if more
fundes had beein available. A bill has
been prepared and will be presented
asking for 100000 appropriation the
coming year, $4,000 of it to be used
in buying the serum for innoculation
to prevent cholera, There are only
five counties in the state that have or
ganized and are above quarantine in
the cattle tick matter, with eight or
ten others following. 1t is pointed ont
that the cattle industry will necessari-
ly suffer so long as the condition now
existing prevails.
1t is suggested that every farmer in.
terested write his representative i'm
mediately and lay the matter before
him asking that measures be adopted
that will allow the Sanitary board more
powers, eliminating those officials
who have given little thought to the
cattle interests of the country, ant
substituting farmers and stock mer
! in their places, so that the ones most
ly interested can carry on the fight.
The hog cholera serum is very ex
pensive and the small raiser is Otter
prevented by the cost from takinl
measures, the disease sometimes
spreading to the larger herds of hi
neighbors and killing out large droves
The serum for the section adjacent I,
Hattiesburg was distributed hereto
fore by Davenport & Heiny and the!
obtained splendid results. Fifteel
hundred treatments were sent to Lum
berton alone where an epidemic o
this disease ragged. Hogs in that neigh
borhood are reported to be in fint
shape since these preventive meas
ures were taken.
