.Raising hogs without cholera p
Well It is no easy Job. have been do,
,ns II ever since was old enough to
avn a hog, writes II. L. Faulkner in
he Kansas Farmer. Some might say,
you don't raise enough hogs or you
nould get the cholera" and for their
haneft wish to state that for the past
Gx years or more have been selling
about 400 bead each year for breeding
purposes, besides 100 or more that go
10 the packers.
DO you know that there IL NO live
stock on the farm that will show the
enects Of good treatment and feed
ouicker than a hogi II you raise
Soes successfully you must give them
rood treatment, such ~ proper shelter
and feed, and then keep their surround
inrs clean. The first thing that do in
nv practice of raising hogs without
shojera is to keep them free from
worms, It Is as natural for our Mis-
souYi hogs to have worms as It il for
the Kansas grasshoppers to hop. l
succeed in keeping them free from
worms by feeding them good worm
srsdicator. begin feeding this to the
pigs when they begin to eat. and after
have them clean on the inside look
after the outside.
keep them free Of lice by using a
rood dip. l dip all the smaller ones
and spray the larger ones. l am a
great believer In using plenty Of good
DID, and would not try tc raise hogs
without It, No man in Missour-or
Kansas either-can raise very many
hogs together and get the best results
without good dip. l know all about
the coal oil for lice. l have tried 1t tc
my own satisfaction. 1t will kill the
Nee all right and the hogs too. I dill
my hogs every two or three weeks ex
cept during about three months in thu
severest cold weather.
Another thing that Is done as regu
larry as the dipping Is the cleaning vi
Of the lots, houses and feed ways. Al
of the litter and trash Is raked ant
burned, and after dipping the hogs tn
dip material is used to disinfect thes
lots and houses by throwing It abou
the lots, through the barn and b.
washing out their houses with It TIL
feed barrels and troughs are washe
with It. This dip not only kills tn
lice, but 1t is death to every Twin
parasite
never did hear Of cholera breakin
out In a herd of hogs that had bee
well taken care Of. 1t always break
out in the herds that are not give
much attention, and from these
spreads throughout the neighborhoo'
As further precaution, when choleI
gets in my neighborhood l keep m
hogs immune by vaccinating the
with the state serum. They are va
cinated every seventy to ninety da!
when cholera is raging close by. Tn
keeps them immune, though all OF II
neighbors who Join farms with me
losing their hogs with cholera Son
Of their diseased hogs have been
my farm with my hogs, and there ne
er Is anything but woven wire fen
to keep them out at any time
To raise hogs without cholera y
will have to be on the Job all the tin
You can't raise hogs in Missouri
Kansas and live in Texas with We
much success Give the hogs proT
iced and shelter. Keep their 81
roundings clean, and when chole
shows up in your neighborhood ha
them vaccinated with the serum alo
and keep 1t up at proper intervals
long as the disease is close by. If y
40 this, Mr.. Hog Raiser, you can ra
n0gs without cholera.
