wARDING OFF HOG CHOLERA.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct, ID
In its campaign against hog cholera,
which annually destroys livestock to
the value of many millions of dollars,
the department of agriculture has is
sued suggestions to hog owners to
aid them in avoiding infection. Hog
cholera is most prevalent in late
summer and fall. These suggestions
deserve particular attention now.
They are:
1. Locate your hog lots and pas
lures away from streams and pub
lie highways, and do not allow the
hogs to run on free range.
2. Do not visit your neighbor or
allow him to visit you if either of
you have hog cholera on your prem
ises.
3. Do not drive into hog lots
when returning from market or after
driving on public highways.
A. Do not use hog lots for yard
ing wagons and farm implements.
b. Do not place newly purchased
stock, stock secured or loaned for
breeding purposes, or stock exhibited
'''-l with your herd. Keep
suon rantined for at least
two weeks, and use care to prevent
carrying infection from these to other
pens in feeding and attending the
stock.
6. Burn to ashes or cover with
quicklime and bury under four feet
of earth all dead animals and the
viscera removed from animals after
tutchering time. They attract the
attention of buzzards, dogs ETC., which
are liable to carry hog cholera infe:-
ton.
Z. Confine your dogs and do not
keep pigeons unless you confine
them.
