Strange as it may seem, Lee Alder
spent one whole hour at home the past

| to change from one automobile to an
other. When one becomes tired he
leaves it for period of recuperation
| and starts out with the other. If any
one wishes to see him on business it is
| we'll to do so on auto changing time,
| because if he starts for GAINESVILLE he is
| just as liable to come back from Madi-
son or some other remote point.

UNION REVIVAL A SUCCESS
.>o1l>e<Ie~eG>e<IG.

The Union Revival has proven sue
cessful in many ways. 1t is the
unanimous opinion of evangelists
and singers that Monte Vista is one
of the very most difficult fields to
arouse. Yet almost forty have come
forward during this meeting, and
there are few services yet to be
counted. Some came bringing others,
some came for reconsecration, but a
large number came making decisions
for the Christian life. Many young
people were among them.
Saturday night Rev Anderson will
preach on "The Two Roads, DR..

ence Sunday afternoon at 800 p. M

WATCH YOUR HOGS!

Owing to the fact that there have
hog cholera in this vicinity recently,
and more particularly north Of the
river, it becomes all the more neces-
sary that you hog growers watch
your hogs very closely in order to
protect your hogs from this dreaded
disease. Not only that, but in case
your herd should become infected, it
is very important that we catch the
outbreak on the very start in order
loss to the owner as we'll as prevent
ing the further spreading of the dis
ease by leaving the dead carcasses
lying around for the magpies and
dogs to scatter all over the country.
Also the longer cholera exists in
the herd, the more complications and
mixed infections develop so that the
results from the use of serum are not
so uniform as when the disease is
taken in the beginning. In fact,
some fellows are sometimes dissatis-
fed with the results obtained from
the serum after these mixed infec-
tions have developed and some even
get the erroneous idea that their
hogs never had cholera at all, where
as had the hogs been vaccinated on
the start and moved to clean quart
ers, the results would have been diff
ferent. Also there is a limit to the
amount of infection that can be over
come by the serum so that If you
leave your sick hogs run with the
well ones and leave them all in
strongly infected pens and pastures,
you cannot expect so uniform results
from the serum as though you had
cleaned up and put the hogs in clean
quarters after vaccination.
However, our results have been
quite uniform so far and have been
very gratifying when we caught the
disease on the start and when but
two or three were sick or dead.
Now as to prevention. In the first
place, you should look your hogs
over every day. then you should
clean out the bedding at least every
two weeks and burn 1t. Lime should
be scattered in the pens and bedding
occasionally as well as spraying with
stock k-dip. 1t is also good policy tc
dip the whole herd occasionally.
