EXTENSION NOTES
Suggestions to Prevent Hog Cholera
and Eradicate Flies and
Mosquitoes.

Now Is the time for the hog raiser
to safeguard his herd against attacks
OF cholera. according to DIR. r. p, Mar.
stellar OF the veterinary science de-
partment OF the A. 4 NJ. College. At
this season OF the year pens should
be cleaned and the hog lots made
thoroughly sanitary to prevent worms
and parasites from breeding. While
these pests do not cause cholera, they
render the hogs more susceptible to
the disease Clean pens, pure water
and wholesome food are good pre-
ventiyes for all diseases which at
tack hogs. Cholera is most prevalent
at this season OF the year, and Dr..
Marstellar advises that when hog
becomes sick that a veterinarian
should be called In. or that the owner
should communicate with the veteri'
nary department Of the college by
wire or telephone.

Heavy rains and floods of the past
few weeks are responsible for the
prevalence OF mosquitoes and flies.
Dr. O. VI. Ball. professor of biology at
the A. 4 NJ. College. says that water
holes should be drained wherever
possible and that oil should be poured
on holes that cannot be drained.
Files and mosquitoes are great dis
ease carriers. and with conditions as
bad as they are in most sections OF
the State. as result OF heavy rains
and storms. every safeguard should
be thrown around our people to pre-
vent disease" SAYS DIR. Ball. "Clean
the bitches, burn the trash and oil
the water holes. and the fly and
mosquito pest will he greatly lessen
ed. Otherwise fever and other dis
eases carried by these insects may
invade your home"
