SWINE TREATED WITH VIRUS
Vaccinated Hogs Should Be Placed ir
Separate Pen Away From Other
Animals Of Herd.

(By W. P. SHULER, Oklahoma Expert.
ment Station.)
If you v%accinate a part of your herd
Of hogs by the double treatment they
should be placed In a separate pen,
away from the other hogs, and kept
under quarantine, so to speak, for
about three weeks, In order to avoid
the possibility of transmitting cholera
to the unvacclnated ones.
When IN animal receives the double
treatment, he has a mild attack of
cholera. The vaccine furnishes his
body with enough extra protective sub.
stances that the animal is uninjured.
After the vaccination has taken" this
animal is liable to transmit disease for
n period Of from 20 to 80 days. After
that time he should be dipped, the
pen thoroughly disinfectel. and then
he can go back among tn u~nvacclnat.
ed hogs. Otherwise he VIII carry the
cholera.
1t Is better to allow n month to
elapse and strict quarantine observed.
Use different vessels to feed, and al.
low no n to go into the pens. II o
give the other hogs a dose of vaccine,
but not virus, they can safely asso-
ciate with the hogs that have had the
double treatment, but under no other
condition Is this possible.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1916-07-28

scab Is not advanced, from two TO
three minutes may be sufficient. but
in Graduating hard scab on fne-wool
sheep better results are obtained If the
animals are held from three to five
minutes during the first dipping. When
the disease Is advanced it Is also rec
commended that the hard scabs be
broken and dressed by hand with a
solution of the dipping fluid before
the animal is immersed in the bath.
In this process care should be taken
not to cause the wound to bleed.
The value Of proper dipping has
been nbundantly demonstrated by past
experience. Nearly all of the states
which formerly suffered from the dis
ease have been released from uuaran-
tine, and losses have been reduced to
a minimum yer the entire area af-
fected. The' disease has not, however,
been entirely eradicated, and, II
neglected, may assume much Of its for
mer importance. 1t is extremely con-
taglous and may be spread in a num-
Der of ways. A flock of scabby sheep
will infect roads, old bed grounds,
sheds, trails, pastures, ranges and the
ground around watering places. Dur
ing the dry summer months the scab
often remains dormant, and 1t Is not
uncommon at these periods for the
flock master to believe that he has
eradicated it. With the coming of
cold, rainy weather, however. the dis
ease reappears.
At the present time one Of the most
active factors In spreading infection
In the range country is the buck. In
many sections 1t Is the custom for
owners to put their bucks in a public
buck herd, where they remain until a
short time before they are turned into
the eve hocks. Some Of these COM
buck herds consist of from 500
to 1900 animals belonging to a large
number Of different owners. Should
scab exist in any one of the different
owned by these men, the entire
buck herd will become infected and
the bucks, in turn, will spread the dis
ease upon their return to the eve
1t has been estimated that
more than 90 per cent of the out
breaks Of scab In the sheep-raising
-anges In the West are due directly
these buck herds.

BEST TROUGHs OF CONCRETE
Last Indefinitely and Are Cheaper In
Long Run Than Other Kind
Formula 10 Given.

Nothing contributes to the health
and thrift Of farm live stock more
than an abundant supply of pure wa
ter. Realizing this, many Mississippi
farmers are building clean, sanitary
and permanent watering troughs OF
concrete. Since such troughs last in
definitely they are proving not only
more satisfactory than other kinds OF
watering troughs but cheaper in the
long run.
In making waterproof concrete, such
as is used in water troughs and tanks,
1t is best to use a very wet mixture.
The formula commonly used Is one
part cement, two parts sand. four
parts gravel. Add water until the
mixture will pour off the shovel. On
the present-day farm concrete has
many Fence posts, feeding
floors and walks made Of concrete will
last indefinitely.
Use good materials-clean sand and
gravel, with not over five per cent Of
loan, clay or other foreign matter.
Use a reliable brand Of Portland &C.
nent, free from Jumps.
Use clean water to mix.
Place in forms within 30 minutes
after mixing.
Keep wet and allow to "cure" 30
days, protecting from the sun during
the curing period.-Mississlppi A. 4
