Some of the farmers have an idea
that hog cholera remedies and the
feeding of lyc. 81 kc | linn, ss'e e,
with salt, coal screenings, or cop
peras will control cholera. That
where these things are fed cholera
will be unable To make rs appear.
ancc. But this is not true, there
is absolutely nothing known to man
kind which will prevent cholera cN,
cept the cholera serum. Ii you use
anything else in the way of medicine
Just remember that YOU are wasting
your time. ust lately | have re.
ccived word that The South Carolina
Experiment Station has tested out
several of the So called hog cholera
cures, and that not one was worth
more than So much water. That
water could have bcen used with
equally as good results SO far as the
real worth of the hog cholera RENE
dies. yet farmers will spend their
hard earned money for such stuff.
There is only one known prevent
i've and that is the hog cholera Sc
rum. Nearly every state expert
ment station has 4 serum laboratory
for the purpose of preparing this
vaccine in order to control the Chol-
era by vaccination. The Kentucky
Experiment Station sends out serum
at cost TO be used in this state. Any
farmer who wills, can save his hogs
by the use of this serum. The serum
does not cure but Is preventive.
| have known farmers who were
told by Veterinarians that serum
would cure, when the government
and state officials never claimed any
thing for it as cure, but it Is a
preventive.
Farmers, why not get together
and help me stamp out cholera frsm
Muhleaberg county? l am ready
to help you do this but ! need your
help. Why raise hogs year by
year, only to have them die just
at the time when they are nearly
ready for slaughter' Why be con-
tented to let our hogs die, when
all this can be prevented by the use
of hog cholera serum and by this
alone. Not anything else in this
wide world will save your hogs ex-
cept the serum treatment. | have
made arrangements with the Veter-
inanans here at Greenville, to help
us with this work. We are ready
to help you il you want US. So let
us get together and clean up Muh-
lenberg county. Let us free the
county of cholera. Why lose hogs
when there is no real excuse for
doing so2 The Experiment Station
stands ready to send an expert to
help with this work without any ex-
pense to you.
Good husbandry consists in keep
ing the herd free from disease.
This can be done in great measure
by having clean, dry quarters keep
ing the animals out of all filth.

vided especially for hogs as they
are generally used for home con
