"A Note Of Warning
Regarding Hog Cholera
BY Harmon kopperud. Emergency
Feod Demonstration.

Hog cholera is again presenting IL
self in a few surrounding counties,
so it seems advisable 10 warm the
farmers to prevent the same by sani-
tary measures.
Hog cholera is q p~reyentable dis,
ease, yet it constitutes the most ser
ious menace to successful swine rails
ing. At this time of the year it is
imperative that all measures be eul,
| ployed to conserve cur animal wealth
and food supply,
Hog cholera is an infectious, con
tagious and highly fatal disease
caused by a flterable virus.
This hog cholerat virus ma be car
ried and transmitted through a num-
Der of agencies, such as streams, dogs,
birds, visitors, hoofs of cattle, wheels
of wagons, automobiles, etc.
Hogs should be provided with an
abundance of pure, clean water to
drink. This can be best accomplished
by the use of sanitary drinking foun-
tains.
Houses. Hog houses should be so
constructed as to afford well ventilat-
ed quarters with plenty of sunlight.
Old strawpiles and mudholes are very
conducive to the spread of this dis
ease.
Feed. 1t is very important that
hogs be fed a balanced ration of clean
and wholesome food, otherwise the
vitality of the animals are decreased,
thus making them more susceptible
to disease.
Distinction. There is no better
disinfeotant than sunlight but in adj
dition to this the premises should be
thoroughly cleaned two or three
times a week, followed by an applica-
ton of some disinfectant. A S per
cent solution of carbolic acid or a 8
per cent solution of compound cresal
is recommended. Mote: 2k table
%spoonfuls in one gallon of water is
equal to one per cent? Sheep dip is
also good. If pastures are to be dis
infected, the most economical method
consists in the application of lime fol
lowed by blowing.
Symptoms of hog cholera are: Loss
of appetite, weakness, fever Of los to
los degrees. with death resulting in
from 4 to 10 days after first symp-
toms.
Post norton evidences consist in
enlarged and hemorrhagic lymph
glands, inlamed intestine, pneumonia
and ulcers in the large intestine.
If the disease is suspected the first
step consists in the isolation and
quarantine of suspicious animals. The
next step consists in the calling of
a competent veterinarian to diagnose
the case and if hog cholera is found
to be present, the only advisable
thing to do is to Yaccinate either with
the single or double treatment.
AT the prevailing price of hogs and
feedstuffs. time and money properly
spent in sanitary measures will pre-
vent the spread of the disease and the
result will be a material saving to
the swine industry.

Railroads Under Con-
troll Of UnIe Samuel

Messrs. w. P. Brady and NJ. NJ.
Knapp, the former with the law de-
partment of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railroad and the latter be-
ing the division freight agent, were in
the city Monday, renewing acquaint-
ance and attending to matters con-
nected with their company. Both gen
tlemen have been associated with the
Rock Island practically all their lives
and they enjoy the friendship of a
large circle of business and profes,
sional men in Watertown.
The railroads, as is becoming
known, have been placed under the
control of the federal government
that is to say, President Wilson has
organized a railway war board and
has called into this special service
some of the biggest railroad men of
general supervision of the railroad
business with a view to promoting
the greatest possible degree of eff
cheney on the part of the roads in
provisioning the public and moving
troops and munitions.
Passenger service has been percep-
tibly reduced throughout both the
east and the west in order that the
equipment and train men may be
made available for instant use by the
government in prosecuting the war.
1.-THE governments business comes
first" said Mr.. Brady, in conversing
with a representative of The Satur-
day News. you understand, OF
course, that, while the railroads are
still operated by their respective cor
p%orations, they are virtually under
federal control.
'In the matter of the distribution of
fuel, as an illustration, they are sub
ject at all times to the orders of the
national administration through its
fuel commissioner, DIR. Garfield, I'M
der whose direction, through the rail
road war board, the coal will be dis
tributed from the mines to the retail
ers.
Likewise the railroads are subject
to instant call for the movement of
troops and munitions and supplies in
tended for shipment abroad, including
foodstuffs necessary for the success
full prosecution of the war.
"The public, therefore," said Mr..
Brady, in substance, will readily
comprehend why both passenger and
freight service has been curtailed,
and why, under the stress of war bust
ness, the movement of freight may
seem unduly slow at times"
In this connection it may be OBJ
| served that the railroad wa board
has established a bureau of publicity
through which information with re-
gard to the general operation of the
roads, snfar as the public may be
affected, is disseminated.
Under the systematizing brought
about by the var board, passenger
service has been reduced within the
past few months BY millions of what.
is termed train miles" in order that
the needs of the government may be
met. Further curtailment in certain
lines is contemplated, insofar as II
may be done without unfayorably AFT
fecting the business of the country
