Hog Cholera Remedy.

The most dreaded hog disease In the
world. hog cholera, has already gain
cd slight foothold In Oregon and can
be kept from becoming an expensive
scourge only by the greatest care In
preventing It's spread. Since the dis
ease is caused by microscopic germ
that is readily scattered in many ways
from infected TO we'll hogs, and can
not be communicated except by germs
that are transferred in some way TO
the cholera-free herds, every owner
OF hogs should guard against the in
yasion OF cholera germs by each and
all of the following methods as out
lined by DR.. B. T. Slmms, veterinarian
OF the Agricultural college:
l. by direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera,
p. BY carriers, that is, by hogs
that have recovered from the disease
but still pass germs with their drop
pings,
3. by humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or premises
1. by dogs, coyotes, buzzards or
other carrion feeders that have eaten
carcasses of hogs that died from chol-
era.
., by stock yards, stock ears, etc,
in which have been put hogs that were
infected with cholera,
6. By infected water-as from an
infected hog lot or pasture.
:. by slop, swill or garbage that
contains uncoOked bacon rinda or ham
bones OF hogs that were affected with
cholera when slaughtered.
After infection takes place the only
prevention is the injection of hog
cholera serum. But most severe out
breaks may be averted by observing
care with regard 10 spread OF the fore
going means.

cade ago. That Is when the electorate
began to listen to U'Ren.
Not all the widened scope of pu-
blic activities, and not every costly
public enterprise is due to U'Renism,
of course, but U'Renism has played a
great part in the general trend toward
the higher cost of public living
through all kinds Of experimentation
and through the assumption by the
public of every kind Of duty.
The way out Of the bog Of waste
and prodigality in the public service
is not to be forever experimenting
with new laws, according 90 the
U'Ren plan. It is to put good men on
guard. no system is better then the
men behind it. Tho U'Ren theory Is
that when one system fails, or IS i'm
efficient, another system must be sub
st.tuted
Oregon does not SO much need new
system as strong and capable men in
public place. We are IN % fair way TO
get them. Look at the men nominat-
