Grams in such fighting, the last traces
will usually disappear in about two
years. That is. unless Il fresh source
of Infection coming from the outside,
is established in the neighborhood.
When is 1t most acute, most danger
GUS and most destructive? Look out
for it in the fall 1t Is serious enough
in the summer. But 1t is most viru-
lent and acute in the fall and will last
on and through the winter and over
into the next heated season if left to
run unchecked. In winter II is often
complicated by partially understood
disease that seems to center its at
tacks OH 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 a hog after the
animal is exposed? This varies from
a 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. drooDy 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 u few hours.
What preventives may be used:
Clean up filthy quarters, move the
hogs cut 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 an,
other disinfectant that is handy ant

Weed seeds have more vitality than
flower seeds, for after the flower beds
are made and the seeds sown, weeds
appear before the flowers. Don't
waste time wedding by hand. but get
a good wedding hook and stir the soil,

Don't spade the soil before the
moisture of winter and spring has
drained from it, so that it will pull

from the spade in moist, soggy humps,

What is hog cholera? Stripped of
all the big words that might be used
in describing 1t, it Is 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 it? In hundred
ways. A dog ranging through the
fields may pick up the germs of the
disease on his feet, carrying them for
five miles across country and scatter
them in your hog lot. A buZzard may
pick up a piece of carrion from the
carcass of a cholera slain porkcr and
drop 1t under a dead tree in your
fields. Or healthy hog may get 1t
through consuming infected food or
water. Cholera may come down In
the running water Of 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. II 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. Thi
swine. plague is about as universal a
the hogs distribution. 1t is especially
prevalent in the corn-belt states. bu

Overhead, through a rift IN the

The heat was nearly intolerable;
the voice of the fire was very loud.

he suffered that torture until tongue
