precautions:
Do not visit your neighbours pens
or enclosures, nor allow any unau-
thorized person to go into your
pens or enclosures. Keep your dog
tied. Confine your hogs to small
dry pens Or enclosures, In not over
ten to fifteen in bunch. Disinfect
troughs and pens daily with a s
per cent solution of creolin or car
bolic acid. Hogs recently purchased
for breeding purposes should be
kept isolated for at least fourteen
days before being placed with other
hogs. Hogs sold for breeding pur-
poses should be Grated and ,ex-
pressed and not allowed in stock
yards.
Intelligent prevention is much
more satisfactory than treatment.
Do not allow hogs to run all over
your place as is customary in the
fall of the year, especially If chol-
era is present in your community.
Dust from the public highway may
be infected. Keep hogs away from
bitches and canals. This is very i'm
portant, especially If the canal Is a
large one, because you will not
know if it has run through an in
| fected place before reaching your
own. Feed good wholesome feed
If your hogs are in good wholesome
condition they are less liable to con-
tract. the disease. 1t would be we'll
to give a mild physic occasionally.
in order to clean out the system.
/ Beware of hog cholera remedies
Many remedies have been given as
'sure cures" but as yet no cure Is
| known. '1s
| (Taken from Report of Bureau Of
Farm Industry.
1. Do not locate nog lots near
stream. The. germ of hog cholera
may be carried along any of these
avenues.
2. Do not allow strangers or
neighbors to enter your hog lots
and do not go into your neighbors'
| lots. The germ of hog cholera may
| be readily carried in small amount
of dirt on the shoes.
8. Do not put new stock, either
hogs or cattle, in lots with the
4 herd already on the farm. Newly
purchased hogs should be put in
| separate enclosures We. separated
from the herd on the, farm and kept
| under observation for three weeks
because practically all stock cars,
unloading chutes and pens are in
fected with hog cholera and hogs
shipped by rail are therefore apt
to contract hog cholera.
4. Hogs sent to fair should be
quarantined for at least three weeks
after they return to the farm.
5. If hog cholera breaks out on
a farm, separate the sick from the
apparently healthy animals and
burn all carcasses of dead animals
on the day of death. Do not leave
them unburned, for this will en-
danger all. other farmers in the
neighborhood. Dogs, crows and buzz
yards may transport particles OF
flesh from dead hogs and thus carry
the disease.
g. If after the observance of all
possible precautions, hog cholera
appears on your farm, notify the
state veterinarian and secure serum
for the treatment of those not at
fected. The early application of the
serum is essential.
