Even in Wisconsin the great dairy

gently my attention was called to the
accomplishment Of farmer who
switched from dairying to hog-raising,
with the most eminent financial re-
suits. He lived in a htlly region near
the Mississippi bluffs, fifteen miles
from good market.
His COWS were not doing overwell
for him, and the cheese factory to
which he sodl their product did not
pay much for the milk, as compared
with the prices received in the city
In addition, help was extremely
hard to obtain, especially men who
were willing to do their share Of the
milking, When to this is added the

In fact, the few sheep almost paid
the routine expenses of the farm
leaving the pork clear profit. The
milk from the COWS, not used by the
family, was fed to the pigs, after be-

Last year the profits amounted to
5000, double the average for the past

Many farmers realize that when
hogs are taken sick the case demanda
immediate attention IL they expect To-
save any Of their hogs. Some farm
ers are very careless and wait till
the disease Is well started, and even
then do not pretend to follow direo,
tions. 1t Is surprising that these
careless farmers save any of their
hogs after disease starts.
All these facts simply 60 to prove
that the sensible way Is to handle
your hogs in such way as to pre-,
vent disease. Build up end improve
the constitutional strength. This Ia,
what will save you great loss from
hog cholera. When your hogs are
sick with the worst kind Of hog chol-
era we do not believe anything will
help them. and the safer way In such
cases ls to take an ak and kill them
at once, and then burn the remains.
This Is for the malignant form of hog
cholera. In majority OF cases they,
do not have this very fatal form. and
they can be cured with the proper
treatment.
