HOG CHOLERA AND ITS CONTROL
Clemson College Extension Work.
Press Bulletin No. IA.
(By NJ. Ray Powers }

Hog cholera has caused enormous
losses throughout South Carolina dur
ing the past year and the disease is
still prevalent. Although treatment is
useless, IL Is possible by observing
necessary sanitary measures and by
the use of serum, to successfully raise
hogs even IL cholera exists i'm a com,
munity. The disease could be eradi-
Gated from the state, but this cannot
be done under present conditions,
therefore hog owners must be inform
ed as to the methods OF control, etc.
How to Recognize Hog Cholera.
Two forms of types of cholera are
recognized:
1. The acute type-in which death
occurs In few days.
2. The chronic form-in which
hogs linger for a longer time and
finally die or recover.
The following symptoms are most
commonly shown. Unfortunately.
however all hogs affected with chol-
era do not exhibit all OF these symp-
toms:
Loss OF appetite-This may be par
tial or complete.
Dullness-Shown by staggering gait
and difficulty In rising.
Abnormal breathing -. Breathing
more rapidly-indicated by rapid ris-
ing and falling of the flank.
COugh-Some cases develop n
cough.
lniiamed eyes-Eyes become red,
the lids often glued together by a
sticky discharge.
Constipation and Diarrhoea-Hops
are usually constipatcd at first, but la
ter the discharges become very soft
and may be covered with mucous or
blood.
Discoloration Of the skin-Along
the abdomen. inner side OF thighs
and forearms the skin is often red or
purple. In chronic cases q black
greasy discharge may appear at base
OF ears and on other portions OF the
body. In these cases large portions
of the skin may slough off
The most satisfactory way to dag
nose the disease is by examination of
the carcass. This will he described

TWO SCORE DEATHS.
Fifth Day of Chicago Heat Fatal TO
Many

Chicago, June 29-The fifth day OF
sever heat brought the death roll OF
this hot spell here to above 40 to-
night. Ten deaths were reported to-
day and there were hundreds of pros
tratiOns, taxing the capacity of public

temperature here today was so and
the mercury stood near that point all
day For more than l2O hours the
thermometers have registered around
that figure and neither night nor day
has there been more than a suspicion
of lake breezes to temper the suffer
ing.
Thousands rushed to the lake for
relief and several drownings were re-.
ported here and at suburban points

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
Cotton Market Has Been Nervous and

New York. June 27.-The cotton
market has been nervous and unset

rather sharply today owing to the cir

at about $4,000 bales. but new crop
deliveries have shown certain
steadiness of undertone. owing to

President Barrett Urges Farmers TO

To The Farmers of South Carolina
The letter below to the members Of

President Barrett should awaken some
pride i'm your calling and in your State
There are some Farmers Union enter
prises in South Carolina that are sue
ceeding. Why not make them so nu-
merous as to cover the State? The
papers have recently been full Of ad-
ditional plans to help the farmer to do
better marketing. First the Farmers
Union secured the National Bureau Of
Markets; next North Carolina 8
Board Of Agriculture established a
division of Markets; now Commission
er Watson will organize market
section in his great department of the
State government; and every confer
ence has some feature of marketing
on it's program.
If you could realize how much the
Farmers Union has contributed to-
wards these constructive measures
and others that are making for econ
omic and social betterment, you would
all want to be in the Farmers Union.
On July 1924 at the Isle of Palms
Charleston. S. c., the 7th, annual
meeting of the South Carolina State
Farmers Union will be held The
first day will be open to the public
farmers and business men Of the State
This meeting will be devoted to q
study Of three things that ought to
appeal to every man who stands for
progress in the State-The Marketing
of Cotton, The Use, Misuse and Pur-
chase of Commercial Fertilizers, and
how to build up the Farmers Union

You who are constantly decrying
the lack OF a plans, have some food for
thought in that. Everywhere l found
q growing spirit of cooperation among
farmers particularly in the Farmers
union, a purpose and intent to stand
by our enterprises to boost them, to
stick together to make them success
full.
Isn't the fact that no failures have
occurred for some time, that a maiori-

growing, expanding, something to put
courage and faith and hope in you?
When you think of the number of
thousands Of failures throughout the
