FARM SANITATION
DISCUSSED ~ koEh.
INSPECTOR IN IOWA

Farm, sanitation means the preser-
walton of health on the farm. The best
way to preserve the health of our live
stock is to prevent the appearance Of
disease. Fighting the disease after It
makes Its appearance Is important but
IAN ounce of prevention Is worth sew
eral pounds Of cure" under present
conditions. AS related to hogs farm
sanitation means that we shall en-
deavor to prevent their taking sick.
The worst disease, that attacks hogs.
Is hog cholera. Therefore, we must try
to prevent attacks OF cholera II we are
to practice farm sanitation. We anust
efdeavor to 'get rid. Of any injection
that IS lingering or holding over on
our farms, We must also avoid bring
ing new infection onto them. Sins OF
omission often cause as much grief as
sins of commission. # any one should
be foolish enough to deliberately carry
infection to his farm and expose his
hogs TO it we would say he had indeed
committed assin for which he should
suffer. On the other hand should any
one know that his premises were in
fected by having had an outbreak Of
cholera last season. and make. no effort
to rid; them of the infection. but let a
new and susceptible crop, of pigs be
brought onto them and expose them to
the Infection, we would also say he
was committing sin, and expect grief
to follow such procedure t3
BY thoroughly cleaning and disin-
fecting his premises he would at least
be giving his new crop OF pigs the
protection to which they are entitled.
Experience has taught US that nature
tries hard to help and often succeeds
in Kidding premise of infection with
out assistance from us. But 1t has
also taught us that many times nature
Is unable. to accomplish this without
assistance. The problem that is con-
fronting the swine Industry just now IS
to get all farms that were infected last
year thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected this spring before the new crop
of pigs arrive to be exposed to in
lection that has been harbored during
the winter. Do not feel a false sense
Of security. Already three cases OF
new outbreaks nave been reported on
farms that We're infected last fall. start
cleaning now. When your hog houses
sheds barns and lots have been thor
oughly cleaned then get some COM
pound cresol or other disinfectant con-
tanning so per cent cresol and thor
oughly disinfect the houses, sheds and
barns. The lots need not be sprayed.
Lining them is helpful, especially
around the buildings. base boards OF
the fences, straw stacks, etc. Ar
rangements are being made In several
localities where outbreaks occurred last
season to hold community demonstra-
tons under the supervision of the local
veterinarian and the United States in
spector. Such demonstrations would
be helpful to any community and the
inspector IN your district would be
glad to help you arrange and conduct
one for you.
Beside helping to get rid OF cholera
Infection, the practice Of farm santa
ton would help you get rid of many
parasites, both external and Internal

tories being built in Japah's bigger
cities is simply astonishing. ReduC-
ed to poverty by wars with China and
Russia, the masses Of Japan suddenly

The Mexican government, such as

controlled by Germans for years, and
Mexico may summon up courage
enough to become very ugly toward
US, but that's an entirely different
matter than invading and taking the

at all possible for Mexico to equip

FOR FRIGHTENED FoLKS.-In
times of emergency some folks seem
to think it their first duty to become
frightened and SO, today, we have
people worrying over an attack by
Japan, an invasion by a Mex-German
army, bank distress, famine and
other ghosts calculated to terrify.,
The first thing scared folks usually
do is to draw their savings out of the
bank and hide them in some sort of
a Stocking" If they happen to live
near the border or near some spot
where a Jap might get ashore, they
often move and utterly break up their
life plans. The usual exodus of tour
lists back to their eastern homes has
even now been magnified into fight
of fearful people from the Mexican
border and the foreigners who would
raid our Pacific coast. And nothing
could be more foolish than this man
ufactured terror Of what might hap
pen.
This nation, in every part, was
never better prepared to combat
threatened calamity, notwithstand-
ing all that has been published about
weakness of its navy and ihferiority
of its army, and one. great reason
for it is that no other nation is willing
and at all prepared to pitch into us.
