state AUTHORITIES
warn THEFARMERS
CONTROL OF HOG CHOLERA TOLD
IN CIRCULAR ISSUED BY
EXPERIMENT STATION.
LOSES 100000 ANNUALLY
Disease Can Be Eradicated BY Proper
Cooperation and Assistance of
Counties and Farmers.
Especial Frankfort Correspondence

Special Frankfort Correspondence
Frankfort.-"How to Save Two Mil
lion Dollars" is the catchy title of
circular to Kentucky farmers which
has been issued by the state agricul-
tural experiment station. The circu-
lar relates to the methods by which
hog cholera can be controlled or pre-
vented, and as 1t is claimed tina. this
disease can be absolutely eradicated
by proper precautions, and that 1t
causes an annual loss in Kentucky of
100000, It Is argued that the farm
ers of the state will be that much
ahead by strictly Observing the regu-
lations set forth. AS an example of
what can be accomplished by precau-
tionary measures it is cited that
through the cooperation and assist
ance of county agricultural assistants
and veterinarians the disease has be-
come practically unknown in a num-
Der Of counties. The principal injunc-
tions given in the circular are as fol-
lows: Hog cholera is a highly in
fectious and contagious disease. 1t
should be handled and dealt with like
any other contagious disease. 1t is
carried from farm to farm by running
water, by dogs and birds and on the
shoes OF man.
Farmers and hog raisers can do a
great deal to control and eradicate
this disease on their own premises By
the observance of scrupulous cleanli
ness in the care of hogs and by thC
adoption of simple sanitary measures
and by good hog-farm management.
Cooperate with neighbors ant
with the experiment station in thei
efforts to control hog cholera by tn
observance of the following simpl
sanitary measures:
Burn the carcases Of all deaf
hogs. -,
| isolate and Quarantine all sicl
hogs and all new stock until they
show freedom from disease.
ANY hog off feed should be quar-
antined and watched.
"Clean and disinfect hog houses.
Scatter freshly slaked lime abou
hog houses and hog lots once week
Lime is one of the cheapest disinfec
tants and one of the best fertilizers
Provide clean, dry quarters TO
hogs. A good hog house does not cos
much.
DO not pasture hogs by runninl
stream. Hog cholera is carried TO
miles by running water,

Canadians Put in Front Line of
Attacking Forces in
Flanders.
FOUR GUNS ARE REGAPTURED
London Headquarters Report Says

London, April 26.-British troops in

Canadians In Front Line.
The Canadian division of the Brit

attacking forces. The, Canadians are
leading in the count&.attacks against
the kaiser's troops.
When the Germans made their sud-
den assault upon the Langemarck-
Steenstraate front the Canadians we're
forced to fall back because of the loss
OF the line at that point. Four OF
the Canadian 4.7.inch guns were cap
tured by the Germans. In their coun.
ter-attack, however, the Canadians re-
captured the guns, also taking many
prisoners, including a colonel.
A report from British headquar-
ters says that the gallantry of the
Canadians undoubtedly saved the sit
uation. They suffered many casual
ties. The text of the report follows:
THE fight for the ground into which
the Germans penetrated between
steenstraate and Langemarck still
continues.
Loss of this part of the line laid
bare the left of the Canadian divi
sion, which was forced to fall back
in order to keep in touch with the
right and neighboring troops.
Recapture Guns.
in the rear of the latter have beer
four Canadian 4.7-inch guns, which
thus passed into the hands iof ths
enemy, but some hours later the Cana
dians made a most brilliant and sue
cessful advance, recapturing these
guns and taking a considerable mum
ber of German prisoners, including
colonel.
"The Canadians had many casual
ties, but their gallantry and determin
alton undoubtedly saved the situation
Their conduct has been magnifcen
throughout"
