What is hog cholera? Stripped Of
all the big words that might be used
In describing it, it is swine disease
that costs the farmers of the United
States more than standing army and
involves the lungs, kidneys, liver and
especially the intestines of the dis
eased animal, says an Illinois writer
in Farm Progress. 1t is highly infec-
tious and is more dreaded than any
other one live stock menace, and
there are plenty of reasons for this
dread.
How do hogs get it? In hundred
ways. A dog ranging through the
fields may pick up the germs of the
disease on his feet, carrying them for
five miles across country and scatter
them in your hog lot. A buZzard may
pick up a piece of carrion from the
carcass of a cholera-slain porker and
drop it under a dead tree in your
fields. Or healthy hog may get it
through consuming infected food or
water. Cholera may come down in
the running water of creek or river.
It may be spread by contact between
hog and hog or by shipping hog in
cars used to transport diseased
porkers.
There are other ways and many OF
them. but not one is more important
than that of carrying the germs on the
clothes, the boots, the wagon tires or
any other objects from one farm to
another. If your hogs have the chol-
era, keep away from your neighbours
premises and ask him to do as much
for you under the same circumstances.
Is there any section of the United
States where a man can go and raise
hogs without having to fear cholera?
Not one, so far as is known. This
swine plague is about as universal as
the hogs distribution. 1t is especially
prevalent in the corn-belt states, but
that is solely because there are more
hogs there to acquire the disease. 1t
exists in the East, the West, the North
and the South.
How long will hog cholera linger

dies and the aid of men who are vet
Grams in such fighting, the last traces
will usually disappear in about two
years. That is, unless fresh source
of infection, coming from the outside,
is established in the neighborhood.
When is it most acute, most danger
Gus and most destructive? Look out
for it in the fall. 1t is serious enough
in the summer. But it is most viru-
lent and acute in the fall and will last
on and through the winter and over
into the next heated season if left I'd
run unchecked. In winter it is often
complicated by partially understood
disease that seems to center it's at
tacks on the lungs. BY some this is
classified as a separate trouble, but
others announce that 1t Is more
deadly variation of cholera.
How long does it take cholera to
incubate or develop in hog after the
animal is exposed? This varies from
few days to two and even three
weeks. Exposure is practically GER
tain to result in the disease, and when
the hogs are known to have been ex-
posed get the serum treatment started.
What are the early symptoms? They
are sadly familiar to thousands of
farmers. Tremors, fever, marked
weakness, droopy appearance, stagger-
ing walk, labored breathing, diarrhea,
maybe constipation, and in some cases
commissions are the first symptoms.
Where the symptoms are very strong
the hog may die within few hours.
What preventives may be used?
Clean up filthy quarters, move the
hogs out of crowded quarters, use
plenty of disinfectants in the sheds,
and see that the water and feed given
are clean and wholesome. Go into
the sheds and hog houses with plenty
of whitewash, sla1ed lime, stock dips,
carbolic acid, chloride of lime or any
other disinfectant that is handy and
use them unsparingly.

PLANT SWEET CORN
FOR A SUCCESSION
Use Three Varieties, Early, Me-
dunn and Late-Last Crop
for Use in October.

To have a constant succession Oh
sweet corn we plant three varieties,
an early, a medium and late sort as
early in the season as it seems safe,
says writer in an exchange. After
a few weeks two varieties are planted,
and so on until about July 4, when the
strawberry crop has been gathered.
We fruit a strawberry bed but one
year, so the spaces between the rows
are torn up with wheel hoe, and
corn planted without attempting to
plow the entire bed until the follow
ing spring. This last crop is usually
ready for use early in October, and
only once in many years has frost
taken the crop before it was ready for
use.
Occasionally two paintings will over
lap, but there is always a chance to
dispose of the surplus, or it may be
canned for future use.

THE GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent Of railway
construction in Western Canada eau
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province or Al
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4.O97. In all
of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion. and in the exercise of their pow
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire TO
lodge the same.
In the matter of education no better
instance of the advancement that Is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University OF Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent IN
five years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions or
thc Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricSs.

HOGS ARE SUBJECT
TO SKIN DISEASES
Liuht- Skinned Animals Are Some
what More Susceptible to
Mango Than Others.

fBy M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Hogs are subject to a variety OF
skin diseases. Two of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mango.
Pitch mango is not true mango,
but rather an eczema and affects hogs
that are not in vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur
roundings. Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others.
The skin is at first red and perhaps
swollen. Small red spots appear and
subsequently change to blisters which
dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed is sim
pie cleanliness and the sort of feed
that will make the hog healthy and
vigorous. 1t usually means COM
plete change of surroundings and plen-
ty of good food.
Hogs are subject also to true mango.
This is caused by a minute animal
parasite, which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe Inflammation and itching. This
form of mango is especially difficult
to treat because of the burrowing hab-
it of the parasite.
Mango begins somewhere on the
head or neck and extends slowly back
ward. The hams are likely to be af-
fected sooner or later. The bristles
fall out and the skin becomes very
thick and wrinkled. Sometimes it is
thickened to an astonishing extent.
Hog mango is peculiar on account of
the powderlike surface of the crust.

WEAN LITTLE PIGS
AT CORRECT TIME
Youngsters Must Be Taught to
Eat Grain Long Before Taken
From Their Mothers.

Should the pigs be weaned at six
to eight weeks of age, or should they
be allowed to run with the sows until
the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two filters year
had best wean their spring litter at
six or eight weeks of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor of early weaving so that
the sows may be dried off rapidly and
fattened.
If the pigs are to be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned. Two or
three weeks old pigs will learn to nib
BILE little. A good grain mixture is
60 parts of corn, 20 parts of middlings,
10 parts of tankage or meat meal, 5
parts of oats and parts of oil meal.
If skim milk may be had it should
certainly be fed, especially just after
weaving time. SIS

slowly and steadily. Some COWS have
very tender teats, and If you want a

naturally impatient, and does not like
rough handling. With constant irrita-
