HOG NOT DIRTY BEAST.
Given Half Chance II viii Keep H.
self Clean and Healthy.

Given Half q Chance II Will Keep Il.
self Clean and Healthy.
Cholera, parasites and pneumonia
are some OF the worst troubles hog
breeders have TO hght this time Of
year. The parasites, or worms, as they
are called commonly, are always with
the hogs more or less. 10 will be pos
sible TO eradicate cholera from the
swine industry, according to DR.. f. s.
schoenleber, state veterinarian of Kan
sas, reported in the Kansas Indus
triaiist, before the breeders will be
able to rid their stock OF parasites.
Pneumonia may be prevented by keep
ing the hogs from taking cold.
Hogs are kept for years on the same
degeneration after generation-until
the soil becomes saturated with the
different parasites and their eggs.
With such surroundings a hog is GER
hahn to be affected. The animals look
ncrawny, and cholera is blamed for
their condition.
Sanitation is the foundation OF sue
cessful hog rearing A hog lot should
uu piOWeu frequently anu luoIouknl1
disinfected. Every two or three years
the lot should be changed to a new To-
cation. A hog isn't dirty in its habits.
II given half chance it will keep
clean.
One thing few persons know about a
hog--it requires twice the breathing
space for its weight as a horse or COW
A hog can stand only half the expo
sure. It's fat may seem like a blanket
but the blood is the heat OF all ami
mails. A hog gets chilled easily be
cause Of the poor surface circulation
contracts pneumonia, dies, and cholera
Is credited with another victim.
A simple remedy for worms is a mix
ture OF wood ashes, salt and air slak
ed lime in about equal parts. II
won't do the hogs an injury II allowed
TO eat all they wish. This mixture
will help also to tone the system.
