HOGS ARE SUBJECT
TO SKIN DISEASES
Light Skinned Animals Are Some
what More Susceptible to
Mango Than Others.
tBy NJ H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)

tBy M. II. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Hogs are subject to variety of
skin diseases. Two of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mango.
Pitch mango is not a true mango,
out 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 hlisters 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 a 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-
1t 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 wrinkIed. Sometimes 1t 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 a 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.
II 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,
parts of oats and 5 parts of oil meal.
If skim milk may be had it should
certainly be fed. especially just after
weaving time.

What is hog cholera? Stripped Of
all the big words that might be used
IN describing it, it is "a 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 1t? In a hundred
ways. A dog ranging through the
fields may pick up the germs of the
disease on his feet, carrying them for
i've miles across country and scatter
them in your hog lot. A buzzard may
pick up piece of carrion from the
carcass of a cholera-slain porker and
drop it under 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 a creek or river.
1t 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 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

in neighborhood? If carefully
handled and fought, as it should be
fought with serums, preventive rene
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. II is serious enough
In the summer. But it is most viru-
lent and acute in the fall and win last
on and through the winter and over
into the next heated season if left to
run unchecked In winter it is often
complicated by partially understood
disease that seems to center its at
tacks on the lungs. BY some this is
classified as separate trouble. but
others announce that it is a 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, slaked lime, stock dips
carbolic acid, chloride of lime or any
other disinfectant that is handy and
use them unsparingly.

WASTE OF VITAL RESOURCES
Health Authorities in Movement for
Good Work by Organized
Effort.

Health authorities are emphasizing
more and more that the waste of vital
resources is as irrational as the waste
of natural resources. 1t is regarded as
manifest destiny that a wise economy
of vitality will be practiced to check
the appalling waste now charged to
thoughtlessness and ignorance. Sir
Frederick Treves predicts the time
when hospitals for infectious diseases
will be empty and not wanted. This
is to be accomplished by hygiene.
Organized effort must be supple
mented by the personal sense of re-
sponsibility that will consider the wis
dom of selfrespecting care of vital re-
sources. The fight is against millions
of microbes, we are told, and the
weapons are sanitary regulations, mu-
nicipal government, the sanitary in
spector and the health officer.
In report on national vitality.
Irving Fisher says that the mystery
of the ancient doctor, with his long
words and extraordinary prescriptions,
is passing away.
The multitude of shelves of bottles
which surround our lives also is pass
ing away and being replaced by sim
pie living, suitable diet and plenty OF
sun and fresh air. Mr. Fisher says
the time will come when it will be
as anomalous for persons to die of
scarlet fever, typhoid, cholera or diph-
iberia as for man to die of VOLTS
bite in England.

To milk COW requires time and pa

slowly and steadily. Some cows have
very tender teats, and if you want a
well-disposed COW, be gentle in your

naturally impatient, and does not like
rough handling. With constant irrita-
ton. any COW will fail in quantity Of
milk.
