BURN CHOLERA cARcAssEs
Burial Of Dead Animals Not Approved
- by Nebraska Station-ExeeIlent
7ss H., Plan is Described. ;7ra

The burial Of hogs dying Of cholera
is not advised by the department of
animal pathology at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station. The germs of the
disease will last a long time in the
earth under favorable conditions and
are liable to cause a new outbreak.
The safest way to dispose Of a carcass
is to burn 1t. r.. ..~,5s .-. 5.2., A., ..
Burning may be easily accomplished
in the following manner: Dig two
trenches few inches deep intersect-
ing each other at right angles. At the
intersection of these. cornstalks, cobs,
or other fuel may be laid. Over the
trenches may next be laid strips of
metal to support the carcass. Before
being placed over the supports, the
abdominal and thoracic cavities should
be opened and be literally sprinkled
with kerosene. Then the hog should
be placed belly downward over the
fuel. AS soon as the material In the
trenches is ignited, 1t will rapidly
spread to the kerosene and fat ana
the body will be quickly consumed.
If large iron wheel Is handy, It
may be substituted with good results
for the trench and iron bars. =!

70 Correct Trouble Give Sow Dose OF

(By A 8. ALExANDER.)

, (By a. 8. ALEXANDERO
When young nursing pigs begin to
scour it is evident that the milk Of
the SOW Is disagreeing with them and
immediate attention, therefore, should
be directed toward improving her ra-
tons. Most often the trouble comes
from overlooking on corn, or other
rich food, just after narrowing, and
pigs of fat, fiabby, cross, nervous. con-
stipated sows are most apt to suffer.
Sudden changes of food, or feeding
sour swill, or food from dirty troughs
also tend to cause diarrhea either In
nursing pigs or those that have been
weaned, and all such cases should be
prevented or removed. j :l a. .s3s., VI
To correct securing in nursing pigs,
give the SOW Is to 20 grains of sui
plate OF, iron a(copperas) in her slop
night and morning and, II necessary,
slightly increase. the doses until ef-
fective. Lime water may. with ad-
vantage, be freely mixed with the slop
as a preventive when there Is ten
dency to arrangement, or after the
trouble has been checked, and also
Is an excellent corrective for weaned
pigs showing tendency to scour on
slop or SKINNED milk. When little
pigs are securing severely, each may
be given a raw egg and five to ten
grains Of subnitrate of bismuth twice
daily in addition to changing the food
of the SOW and mixing copperas in her
slop. In cases which do not respond
promptly to treatment, success may
follow the administration Of a dose Of
castor oil shaken up in milk. Il
In all cases it is important to set
right all errors in diet and sanitation
and to provide. the pigs with dry,
sunny. well-ventilated quarters. The
arrangement is most apt to occur
