Some Facts
Concerning Hog Cholera
Dr. w. M. Burson, Professor of Veter-
mary Med, State Col. of Agriculture.

Hog cholera is an infectious disease
It is caused by germs. These germs
are present in the blood and all parts
of the sick hog The germs will live
il infected soil for a long time.
Hog cholera may be spread by any
thing that comes into contact with the
sick hog, the dead carcass or premi-
ses occupied by or contaminated by
sick hogs or their excrement.
Hogs suffering from mild cases Of
hog cholera spread the germs far and
wide until death or complete recovery
takes place.
Wallow holes harbor infection for
long time. Disinfect them.
Hogs may become infected with
cholera by being fed on hotel and
restaurant garbage containing pork
scraps. If you must feed this mate
rial protect your hogs with serum.
Hogs fed on offal from Strengthening
develop cholera and many other dis,
eases. This shoul5 ne prohibited by
law
Ne breed of hogs are naturally inn
mune to cholera All are susceptible.
Hog cholera scum will prevent hog
cholera. 1t will cure some cases in
the early stages of the disease. Early
treatment of sick herds gives best re.
suits.
The length Of time treated hogs are
smmune after treatment depends on
many factors, such as age, environ
ment, and method of treatment.
Serum alone is simple TO admins
ter, not apt to do harm and generally
produces only temporary immunity
Serum simultaneous (serum and vi
rus) if carelessly or injudiciously ad-
ministered, may do great damage.
When properly used confers perma-
nent immunity.
On infected premises dlsinfectants
should be literally used. Coal tar disin-
fectant is cheap and effective. 1t
should be used in 4 per cent strength
and applied to hog houses by means
of a spray pump.
Whitewash containing per cent
coal tar disinfectant serves a double
purpose. 1t deodorizes and disin.
fects.
Good drainage is essential in all
sanitary work
Rotation of hog lots and pastures
does much to keep the hogs healthy.

The Man With the Hoe.

In the poem that caught general at
IGNITION few years ago the man with
the hoe was presented as stunted OBJ
iect, pathetic failure, without re-
ward for ceaseIess hard work, a crea-
lure who never had chance to know
the joy of living. 1t was a false note
at the time, but suggested a subject
worthy of thought.
The national secretary of agricul-
ture has reviewed the food situation
and he declares: ''Tke farmer who
makes five bushels If grain grow
where three grew before contributes
as much to victory and the future peace
and security of the world as any man
in the trenches" So runs the argu-
ment everywhere in a world crisis in
which energetic, practical action is a
grim necessity. A danger must be
overcome lest it overcome civilization.
The real man with the hoe is now in
evidence.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

What Georgia Can
And Should Do
Andrew M. souIe, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture.

Georgia produced last year about
$3.50, 000,00000 worth of food products
| including the sale and slaughter of
animals raised on her farms. This
sum can be increased by S100,000,000
during the present year. To do this
corn should be planted on the usual
basis, and in addition on the areas
on which winter oats were destroyed
by the February freeze. If this were
done we should be able to raise ap-
proXimately 100,000,00O bushels of
corn. We can certainly double the
area in sweet and Irish potatoes. The
hay crops of Georgia can easily be
Quadrupled since cowpeas soy beans,
velvet beans, corn, sorghum, kaffr
/ corn, Sudan grass, millet and various
other crops may be used for this pur-
pose. The planting of these hay crops
may be done any time in the next six
ty days. Establishing hay crop
is chiefly a matter of preparing the
land and setting aside a sufficient
area to grow the necessary tonnage.
/ If we do not provide the forage need.
| ed for our live stock they will lose
their efficiency, as the chances are we
will mot be able to obtain food Of this
character from the west next fall on
! account Of railroad congestion.
Every farmer should make his plans
now to grow at least wheat for ten
! persons. This would be seventy
bushels. If this were done Georgia
would supply herself with all the
F., wheat needed in 1918. Wheat may be
planted with advantage in cotton land
after hay crops have been gathered.
I Our deficiency in wheat may be over
| come somewhat by planting upland
rice, and all the truck which can pos
sibly be needed by our towns and cit
/ les can be easily produced if the far
mer, the vacant city lot owner and the
| gardener systematic their efforts.
Sorghum should be grown on every
/ ldI LII lOI syrup. Ill oil SIueIS6uCy Su-
gar can be made from it. While we
can not Immediately increase the num-
Der of cows and beef cattle, no breed
ing animal should be slaughtered and
all calves should be fed out as rapid
ly as possible. There is no reason in
the world why we should not double
the number of hogs maintained on
the farms in the northern part Of the
state. If steps in the right direction
are taken promptly, we can supply
ourselves with all the meat needed
for local consumption. The Importance
of increasing the corn crop can not
be stressed too strongly as It sup
plies the chief grain ration for our
work stock and in an emergency may
be made to take the place of wheat
| in the human dietary. There is no
| reason why we should not double the
| output of our poultry yards.
Vigorous action along the fines in
dicated WA alone save us from the
disastrous situation which now con-
fronts us.

Smoke CHARS by Electricity,

In tobacco factories and also in many
show-window displays it is found de,
sirable to have an electromechanical
device which will smoke cigars in a
similar fashion to that followed by
mankind in general, says the Electrical
Experimental. A flexible cord plugged
into the nearest electric-light socket
supplies the miniature motor with
power to drive a multiple-vane blower.
his blower creates a back draft, and
thus the perfectOs of doubtful vintage
may be smoked rapidly and naturally
The resulting length and character of
the ash are noted by tobacco experts.
