SPREAD HOG CHOLERA GERMS
Disease Communicated to Healthy An
imals Only by Permitting Germs
to Be Carried to Them.

.iBy DIR. B. T. SIMNS, Oregon Expert
ment Staton.)
Hog raisers need to be on the alert
to prevent the introduction and
spread of the dread disease into their
parts of the state. Since the disease
Is due to a germ of microscopic size
1t naturally follows that it can be
communicated t, well hogs only by
permitting the germs to be carried
to them. A knowledge of the differ
ent methods of carrying the germ
from infected hogs TO well hogs is es-
sential to prevention. Some of
these methods of spread are as fol-
lows:
1. By direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera.
@ BY carriers, that is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera, but still
pass germs with their droppings.
3. By humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or prem
Uses.
4. By dogs, coyotes, buzzards and
other carrion-eating animals that nave
leu Ol Tue CdICdSS0S VI ll-leCltu mugs.
s. By stock cars, stock yards, etc,
in which have been placed infected
hogs.
6. BY infected water
Z. BY slops, swill and garbage that
have been infected with bacon rinds
or ham bones from hogs that had
been afflicted with cholera at slaugh-
.er.
Germs will ordinarily die out In four
months in lot conditions, but are so
resistant that they survive the usual
curing and packing process as carried
on in the big packing houses. After
thoy have once found lodgment in
the hog there is no remedy known but
hog cholera serum. Growers should
therefore take every precaution to see
that germs do not enter their herds
by any of the foregoing means.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1915-11-05

the conditions of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only nominal loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw, en-
silage, etc., must be made gradually
and herein lies the secret of the heavy
losses of lambs In the feed lots In the
early fall. The desire to get the lambs
on fattening ration as early as pos
sible and failing to appreciate the dan
ger of too heavy feeding and change
of ration has helped to make lamb
feeding an Improbable business in
some instances. A sudden change Of
feed, or overlooking, must be guarde
against in the domestic animals, e,s
pecially is this true with the horse ana
sheep.

A small percentage of loss in lambs
in the feed lots is to be expec cd, but
this loss in some instances is far great
er than it should be. When range
lambs are placed on a fatteping ration
the change of feed is so sudden that
dietetic disturbances cause a general
disorder and several dead sheep are
found in the pens each morning. This
invari aly leads to the suspicion that
they are dying of some infectious dis
ease.
In some cases the ration is not we'll
balanced to secure the best gains and

SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Desirable to Have Fields Fenced OF
Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs
From Ono to Another.

(By G. w. BARNES. Arizona Experiment
Station.)
While few hogs can be raised con-
fined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept cleans they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically II
they have plenty of alfalfa range.
1t Is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced off into suitable areas,
SO that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture to another. This will not
only provide fresh pasture, but will
give an opportunity to cultivate, and
If need be to disinfect
Practically all cases Of intestinal
worms, which are common in SWINE,
are contracted from infected grounds;
therefore, by pasture rotation you can
help keep your hogs free from these
parasites.
