Hog Cholera.

At this season, when the Hog
Cholera is most common each
and every farmer should guard
his herd with the greatest care.
| Of the herds | have treated in
Jefferson County, for cholera,
have found the hogs and pigs to
have lice and show signs of
worms. This is true in almost
every case, very few exceptions.
Most Of the so-called hog
cholera" is now attributed to
these deadly pests and in hum
dreds OF instances where cholera
was supposed to be raging, those
herds that had been kept free
from worms and lice were not af-
fiicted with the disease.
Every year worms kill off mill
lions of dollars worth of lambs
and pigs. Adding to these fig
ures the loss through failure of
stock to gain. the great waste
of feed and the increased danger
of disease when stock are filled
with worms you have total loss
charged up against these de-
structive parasites that far over
shadows even the heavy losses
from cholera itself.
Now is the time to fortify your
hogs against attacks of cholera
and to put all your animals in
worm-free, thrifty condition.
Farmers should protect their
herds by the use Of medicated
salts (ready prepared, or home
mixed) for the worms. Then by
means of the dipping tank, rub
birg-post or sprinkling with oil
free the hog of lice. When the
herd is kept free from these
blood-sucking parasites, the ami
mails can do much toward resist
ing the deathly disease.
Now that the state govern
ment has taken steps to help us
control this much dreaded swine
disease, and | have hopes that
we can secure still more support
from the United States Govern
ment, shall we not do our part
to wipe Hog Cholera out of ex-
istence ?-Charles Town Free

HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness is purely matter OF
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why relapse IS SO
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions OF people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking SCOTS Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

Yet the union so cheerlessly

Martha's father obligingly died,

daughter. For 10 years the

her husband reached the pinnacle
of his world-grea tneSs, but per-

something of the wonderful
future that lay ahead of him.
