HOG CHOLERA
ERADICATION
Methods of Prevention and
Control by C. D. Lowe Uni
versity of Tennessee
GREATEST SCOURGE OF SWINE
The Sick Hog and the Dead Hog Are
the Most Dangerous Sources of
choIera-Watch These and Forget
the Ruzzard.

(By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee)
Hog cholera, the greatest scOurge of
the swine industry, is still a problem
of large proportions. An emphasis of
the sanitary and hygienic side of it
seems indicated that more Roadway
NAV be made in controlling it.
In this connection it may be well to
quote some pertinent truths expressed
on this subject by the Missouri Agri-
cultural College, as follows:
Hog Cholera.
symptoms:
/. Loss Of appetite and feVerishness,
2. Huddling together in beds, wab-
bly, gait, weak in hind parts.
3. Eye-lids matted together. Red
splotches on skin of belly and inside
of hams,
4. May have diarrhoea, or may be
constipated.
5. Post-mortem shows lymph glands
congested, lungs speckled, spleen en-
larged and soft, kidneys speckled like
turkey egg, ulcers in intestines.
Prevention:
l. Keep hogs free from parasites
such as lice and worms.
2. Furnish proper sleeping quarters,
avoid draughts, wet bedding, piling
up, ETC.; these conditions may cause
pneumonia and thus predispose to
cholera.
8. Change location of hogs occasion
ally.
4 Do not make sudden changes in
methods of feeding; such may cause
indigestion and lessen resistance to
cholera; slightly laxative ration is
best.
5. Keep newly purchased hogs sepa-
rated from rest of herd for at least
four weeks.
6. Use care to prevent infection car
riers coming from farms where dis
ease is located.
I. Hogs coming in contact with pub
tic highways Or streams are III danger
of exposure to cholera at any time.
8. Sheds and pens should be occa-
sionally disinfected with slaked lime.
8. When hogs are exposed to the
disease vaccinate at once with the SIN
gle treatment (serum alone).
Control:
1. Quarantine all sick hogs so that
infection will not be carried to other
herds.
2. Burn all carcasses of hogs that
have died Of cholera or other diseases.
3. Administer serum to all apparent
ly healthy hogs.
4. Clean up all pens, hog houses and
yards, and disinfect with freshly
elaked lime.
5. Remove all filthy and insanitary
mud WalloWs.
The sick hog and the dead hog are
the most dangerous sources of chol-
era; watch these and forEet the buzz
card. DO not deliberately put cholera
on your farm by vaccinating by the
simultaneous method (serum and
virus). When necessary to vaccinate
use serum alone.

MONEY IN SMALL
FLOCK OF SHEEP

tBy X. M. Murphy, DIVISION OIL EAteu-
sion, University of Tennessee)
There is more money to be made
from small flock of sheep, judiciously
handled, than from any other kind OF
stock on the farm. They do not stand
crbwding, but on nearly every farm
in the state there is room for small
flock. Mr.. H. c. Lawler, of Martin,
Tenn, is taking advantage OF the
sheep situation in the following man.
ner: He furnishes the farmers OF the
surrounding community a small flock
assuming all loss from dogs or death
from any cause, for one-half the wool
and lambs. For a number of years he
has been increasing the number until
he now has scattered through the
country more than 500 ewes in fiocks
ranging from 25 to so in number, gen
orally. In the community where, up
until he started this, not sheep was
to be found because of fear of the dogs,
ETC. Indications are now that IN the
course of the next few years every
farmer will have small flock. Ihey
have paid, and paid we'll, in this com
munity because cotton has been low
in price and the farmers have neeued
the money. Mr.. Lawler makes ~ per
cent on his investment, which is more
than he can make in many other leglt-
innate ventures, and the farmer just
simply finds his half, for he has an
abundance of weeds and Japan clover
going to waste. There is great oppor'
tunity for this plan to succeed IN many
other communities in the state.

CATTLE IN THE TEN
NESSEE MOUNTAINS

There are many counties in
the tennessee mountains where
the law permits cattle to run at
large. No charges are made for
this kind of pasturage. Fields
under cultivation have to be
fenced in.
Cowbells are strapped about
the neck of the cattle with leather
straps. When the cow fails to
come home at night the owner
gets out on the mountain, and
listens for the sound of his cows
bell. The tinkle Of the cowbells
can be heard for miles around.
It is a babel of confusion to the
stranger, but not so to the own
err of COW. He can tell by lis
tening for a moment whether
his cow is in the group, which
may be a mile away. There are
different sizes and tones to the
bells. Merchants carry an as
sortment of bells for the accom-
mediation of their patrons.
Many cows become expert in
making their way around high
and dangerous cliffs. Occasion
ally one is lost by falling over a
precipice, but not often. 1t u.s.
ually happens in winter when
the ground is frozen.
"Brookcroft" the home of
the American Humane Educa-
tons field worker in Tennessee,
is located just outside the town
limits of Oakdale, and on a pike
connecting with the Dixie"
Highway from Chicago to Miami,
Fla. Here mornings and even
ings, the cattle belonging to the
townsmen pass back and forth to
the mountain forests. 1t must
be remembered there are thou
sands of acres in Tennessee
where no one resides. 1t is own
ed by large coal and timber cor
porations. These lands make
good grazing places for cattle I'M
til late in the fall. Paths or trails
mark the places where cattle
leave the highway and penetrate
the forest.
"Brookcroft' provides a wat
ering place for cattle in Oakdale.
A winding mountain stream al
most encircles this bungalow,
and at a place between the rus
tic footbridge belonging to the
residence and the county road
bridge. a distance of about fifty
feet, is left open for cattle where
they can find plenty of fresh wa
ter. Here, in the afternoon is
presented a beautiful picture
when a dozen or more cows come
down out of the mountain for
water, and rest themselves in
the shade of the hemlock and
rhododendron.
1t is hoped to make better
provision when about one thou
sand feet of two-inch pipe can
be provided to bring water from
Rhododendron Falls to a point on
the pike here, where both cattle
and horses can be served. -

Animals.
