from these carcasses are carried
down stream, injecting herds many
miles distant. 1t is not presumed that

al, but it frequently happens in just
this way. The results obtained from
the use of sera and vaccines are par.
tally to blame for this condition. In.
stead of an infected farm being clean
ed up, stock owners are depending too
much on immunizing healthy animals
and neglecting disinfection and the ap-
plication of strict sanitary measures
which would ultimately, if employed,
effectively wipe out infectious and
contagious diseases among live stock
These facts have been suggested
after visiting farms whereon conta-
gious and infectious diseases of ami.

rules and regulations covering cases
of this nature, and such legislation Is
not usually promulgated to fill space,
but to protect and foster the best in.

SANITATION A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR

There can be little question that the
widespread infection of hog cholera
md other animal diseases is due to
Iaek of attention to strict sanitary
measures. In other words, stock own
ers are contented with protecting their
swine against hog cholera by having
the serum injected, and their young
cattle protected against black leg by
using black leg vaccine, whichever
the case may be. This is an excellent
policy and the only thing for them to
do, but too frequently sanitary precau-
tons are not observed by properly
burying or burning the carcasses of
animals that have succumbed to these
maladies, and practically no effort is
made to rid the premises of infection,
by cleaning and disinfecting the barns,
yards, and etc., subsequent to out
breaks of contagious animal diseases.
Often the carcasses of animals that
have died of infectious diseases are
hauled to some sequestered spot on
the farm where buZzards and other
carrion feeders scatter the infection
in their fight from farm to farm. Or,
perchance, the germ seething car
casses are dumped into a running
stream on the back premises of the

in mind is to pin the top of the bag Sc
