Last Stages Of Cholera.

scrubbed with some reliable disinfect- !
ant, such as compound solution Of
cresol GU. S. p. This disinfectant
can be procured at drug stores. and
should be diluted before use by adding
one part of it to 30 parts of soft water.
Care should be used in estimating
the weight of hogs, because the amount
of serum required depends upon the
size of the hog injected
The usual dose is commonly given
on the package in which the serum
comes. Be careful not to underesti-
mate. Overestimate rather than un.
derestimate, and thereby be sure of
giving an ample dose of serum. After
the injections are made, the hogs
should be turned into a clean yard
free from mud holes and excessive
dust The hogs should be kept in this
inclosure for several days at least
after the injection, to enable the pune
ture wounds to heal thoroughly. They
should be given soft, easily digested
! food.
Every farmer should keep an accu.
rate record of the injections he makes.
so that he will know what success has
attended the treatment. He should
make a record of the number Of hogs
that died from hog cholera before
( treatment, the number sick and the
number apparently we'll at the time
of treatment, and he should later keep
a record of the number of sick and
| faaf oil Inc q
ment. Keeping these records may en-
able him to determine whether or not
the serum he used was good, and It
| may show whether or not the work
was properly done. If any hogs de
| velop assesses at the point of injec-
ton, note should be made of the
fact, keeping account of the number.
Assesses indicate that the serum was
not right or that the work was not
properly done.
Every farmer should make absolute
ly certain that no dirt or implement
is brought from an infected hog lot in
to another hog lot. Hog cholera can
be carried in dirt on shoes, on wagon
wheels, or on the feet of dogs. It has
been proved that a pen of hogs In.
fected with hog cholera can be kept
within 10 feet of a we'll herd without
communicating the disease. provided
no dirt or implement or other object
is moved from the former to the lat
ter pen. If, however, the pen with the
uninfected hogs should be cleaned
with a hoe or shovel that has beer
used in the infected pen, the wei
herd would be almost certain to gel
} the disease. Dogs, crows, and buz
. yards can transport particles Of fest
from dead hogs and thus carry the
disease

before beginning the incubation.
Hogs that are sick should be separated
from the well and marked so as to dis
tinguish them. The pen or inclosure
where the injections are made should
be clean and free from dust
The serum is administered by in
jecting it deep under the skin with a
hypodermic syringe. Before begin
ming the injection of a herd, care must
be taken to see that the syringes and
needles are not only absolutely clean,
but that they have been previously
boiled In water for 10 or is minutes.
The purpose OF the boiling is TO kill
the germs that may be on the instru-

What Could HAPPEN
REGARDING JUDGESHIPS

A New Castle county official while
discussing the probability of Judge
Victor B. wooley's appointment to
the Federal bench to succeed Judge
George Gray this morning, remarked
that should Judge wooney be APP
pointed It would give Governor - =
Ter an opportunity, If he chose, to ex-
tend the terms OF all the associate
Judges remaining on the Delaware
bench. The following is purely specu-
latlve of what could happen. and so
far as is known has never been con-
sidered by the governor
The county official explained that
while a Democrat would have to be
appointed TO an the vacancy left on
tho Delaware bench should Judge
Woolley retire, it could be managed
I'm such a way that Governor Miller
could make entirely new appoint
ments for all the judges with the ex-
ception of Chief Justice Pennewill
"For instance" the official remark
ed "suDpose Judge Woolley is APP
pointeI TO the Federal bench, Gov
ernor Miller could appoint Residen;
1 Judge Rice as associate Judge at
large 20 succeed Judge Woolley. That
would extend Judge Rice's term fo'
/ twelve years from the date OF ;ne
appointment, adding several years 10
! his term on the bench. Then he
could appoint Judge Conrad resident
nudge Of Sussex county, as resident,
Judge of New Castle county to sue
coed Judge Rice. The new appoint
ment would give Judge Conrad
twelve years on the bench from the
date Of his new appointment thus
adding a number of years to his term
Then he could appoint Judge Boyce
resident Judge of Kent county to sue
coed Judge Conrad as resident judge
of Sussex county. That would extend
his term in a like manner. Then
Governor Miller could appoint Demo-
crat to fiji the vacancy in Kent coun-
w. and all the judges with the e<-
ception of the Chief Justice would
start out on a new twelve year team. =
The constitution. the official eX-
plained states that of the i've
Judges on the bench, not more than
three of them may be of one political
PARTY. thus necessitating the appoint
ment of a Democrat TO fill the yacan-
CIV should Judge Woolley go on the
Federal bench.

ATTENTION TO CHICKS
WARM BRoopER AND PROPER RIA

Every chick deserves to be well

At the start the chicks get cool wa

Egg roiuction-Fowls Are Crazy
for Succulence.

Cows and sheep thrive on silage; II
is a little too bulky for hogs to eat q
great deal; horses and mules eat small

best ever for poultry. He states: We
have tried It for two years and find the
birds are crazy for it and will clean up

require some green food in order to dc

At a recent conference Of federal
and state officials in charge Of hog
cholera work the methods of applying
the cholera serum in practise we're
considered. There are two methods.
In one the serum alone is used, pro-
ducing immunity lasting from 30 to 80
days; in the other the virus Of hog
cholera and the serum are injected
simultaneously is, virus at one
point and serum at another. This lat
ter is known as the simultaneous
method" and will produce active or
lasting immunity. If the serum used
in this simultaneous treatment is not
good, or if the mode of application is
faulty, disease may be set up in the
treated herd. For this reason it was
the general consensus of opinion at
the conference that the simultaneous
method should be used only by those
who have had special training, and it
was agreed that the ideal arrangement
would be to allow fits use only by fed
eral and state vete1ir rv officers.
The serum-alone treatment, on the
other hand, may be given by anyone
without danger Of causing hog cholera
If the serum is good the farmer may
give It to his hogs without fear. pro
vided It is administered in the proper
way. While it would no doubt be
best to have even the serum alone al
ways administered by a skilled agent,
farmers may obtain good results If
proper care is used. The farmer
should remember that the serum-alone
treatment is very different from the
Simultaneous treatment. The follow
ing advice regarding the use Of serum
Is offered for farmers who cannot OBJ
tain the services Of a skilled agent:
All serum cannot be depended upon
and farmers are cautioned against put
ting implicit confidence in a serum
merely because It is labeled "Anti-Hog
Cholera" The serum must be pre-
pared right in order to protect hogs
Farmers should use every effort to gel
a good reliable serum from the state
college or from a reliable dealer.

tive when used as a preventive. i

RAPE PASTURAeE FOR SWINE
Dwarf Essex Is only Variety Suitable
for Hogs-one Of Best Emer-
seney Forage Crops.

The grower of rape should insist on
getting the Dwarf Essex. as this is the
only variety that is suitable for hog
pasture There is a summer or bird
seed rape found on the market which
makes a worthless pasture and should
not be used.
I have used rape for several years
as pasture for both breeding and fat
tening hogs and never experienced any
difficulty in getting them to eat it.,
writes Turner Wright in Farmers Mail
and Breeze.
II hogs that are not accustomed to
rape are given no other green feed for
a few days they will soon learn to eat
and relish it even though they are fed
a liberal amount of grain. It often
happens that hogs, after learning to
eat rape, prefer it to clover or alfalfa
that is coarse and woody. I have often
changed hogs from alfalfa to rape and
from rape to alfalfa and could see nc
difference in the way they seemed &C
relish these different feeds II the
hogs are turned on the rape that viii
eat it more readily than if it is more
mature.
Rape is one Of the best emergency
forage crops we have. A good RAPE
pasture will give practically as goo,
results as alfalfa It can be sown II
feed yards and lots that are use'
through the winter and thus not onl,
furnish a pasture to take the place o
a shortage of alfalfa or clover pas
ture but also provide a means o
utilizing ground that would otherwis
grow a crop of unsightly and worth
less weeds.

Any breaking out or irritation on the

While not always establishing a perma-
nent cure IL never fails TO subdue the
