Mankato

Mayor Meyer consulted with the
county commissioners yesterday
about putting the inmates of the
county Jail to work under guard in.
stead of keeping them to serve their
terms in idIeness, and after looking
up the law, it was found that if a
man is convicted of a violation of a
city ordnance, and sentenced to a
term at hard labor, the city may
require the mans services and take
him from the Jail and order him to
work under guard. INA man is sen.
fenced to hard labor for a violation
of state law, only the county may
use the man for any labor which
benefits the county. Not many of the
men who are now in jail have been
sentenced for violations of city ordi-
nances, but these men will probably
be put to work on the streets in the
future

These are a few rules which
should be closely followed to pre-
vent hogs from having the cholera.
C. R. Shumway, the teacher of ag-
riculture in the Mankato high school
gave a talk to his class this morn
ing on hog cholera and his sugges-
tons were practical and farmers
having hogs would do well to follow
them.
Mr.. Shumway recommended the
use of the serum which the state is
making, but stated that when the
plant is working at full capacity it
can only manufacture enough serum
to vaccinate from 1000 to 5000 hogs,
and it is estimated that there are l.
100000 hogs in the state. The com
mercial serums which are being adj
vertised' and sold throughout the
country are not safe to use, and
farmers are warned against them.
"The cause of hog cholera" he
said "has been found to be minute
microbe, and IL is bacterial dis
ease Personalities have been found
for the sickness, but no cure has
been discovered The serum which
is being made by the state costs
about ten cents per hog, besides the
cost of vaccination. TWenty-eight
states are now making this serum,
and it is estimated that 100000
hogs have been treated successfully
The hot dry weather in the corn
belt is thought to be the cause of
the rapid spread of the disease and
it is gradually working north. Four
teen cases have been reported in
the vicinity of Mapleton, and num-
Der of cases have come to motto i'll
Martin and Faribault. counties.
"But the fact that hogs are dying
is not sign that cholera is pres
ent. At this time of year hogs
are likely to contract pneumonia
and the symptoms are much the
same as those of cholera. Swine
plague is another disease which acts
the same Intestinal worms cause
much mortality among swine Change
of diet from cid corn to new too
suddenly often causes death among
| the herd. Pneumonia is preventable
! by having proper sleeping quarters,
in which the swine are free from
drafts and dampness.
Worms can be eliminated by any
of the reliable worm remedies or by
| the use of turpentine. Cholera as
we'll as these other diseases can be
detected only by post norton ex-
animation Cholera is identified by
the intestines having ulcers, the
spleen being enlarged and the kid
neys and liver speckled.
"a good internal disinfectant
which will kill intestinal worms if
there are any and which will keep
the hog in good physical condition
and better able to throw off

follows:
BUY a pint of carbolic acid crys-
tails and add that to 100 pints of
water. Keep that solution on hand
and at each watering time add one
l tablespoon full of the solution to
the water for each 100 pounds Of
hog to be fed. This should be done
regularly.
eff these rules are followed and
the disinfectants are used the hogs
are reasonably sure of keeping free
from the cholera"
