SAVE THE PIGS
BY PREVENTION

Save the pigs by prevention Of
disease is the doctrine being
preached this spring by DR.. W. c,
Shuler, state and federal hog chol-
era man in this section of klahoma,
Doctor Shuler says that 90 per cent
Of the total losses among hogs is
due, directly or otherwise, to chol-
era. This disease exists in two
forms, acute and chronic, or quick
and slow. Regardless OF the form
OF the malady, the results are the
same, loss OF from % to 100 pei
cent Of the herd. The survivors are
as a rule, unthrifty, stunted pig>
that might better have died than tc
have, by living raised false hopes OF
their future value and at the same
time act as possible infection car.
riers.
Doctor Shuler says that vaccina
ton is the only reliable preventa
tive. Even when the hogs are sicl
vaccination is of curative value tC
an extent we'll worth the trial. II
the cases in which the disease ex
lists the dose of the serum shoulC
be doubled.
The cost of the serum treatmen
depends on the size of the hog. 4
forty pound pig can be immunizeC
against cholera for about thirt,
cents, while one weighing lOI
pounds requires sixty-five cent
worth of serum and 200 pount
animal will require at last 81 invst
ment to permanently protect it iron
the disease.
In order that the supply of vac
cine may be at all times availabl
to the farmers in this county, Doc
tor Shuler has established a Serur
depot here.
The farmers are urged to loo
after the health of their hogs an
keep in touch with the count
agent and Doctor Shuler, reportin
all hog sickness in their communit
at the earliest possible moment i
order that prompt action may b
taken in furthering the control c
this disease.

MOTOR CARTS
HERO" AT FIRE
Sedan Draws Snow-Stalled Equip
ment TO Burning House.

Sedan Draws Snow-Stalled Equip
ment to Burning House.
Realism in the window display of
Dodge Brothers sedan at Skane-
ateles, n. Y, was instrumental in
getting badly needed fire fighting
apparatus through deep-drifted
snow and saving a burning home.
When the alarm sounded, just
after a heavy fall of snow, about 80
men began to drag one Of the
towns hose wagons toward the
scene of the fire. 4 little Of this
was sufficient to convince them all
that man-power would not do the
trick. Appeal was made to the
Dodge Brothers dealer. 1t so hap
pened that he had sedan on dis
play in the window, all ready to run.
In a moment the sedan was start
ed. Ten minutes later the hremen
had a stream of water on the fire,
the motor car having pulled the
hose car through the snow without
any difficulty.
Then it was driven back to the
hose house. where it hooked up to
the hook-and-ladder truck and
trundled it down to the fire.
The situation was more or less
ironical because the town had de
cided, during the previous summer,
not to add a 75-horsepower motor
truck to its fire equipment, many
believing such a truck would be
helpless in the winter SHOWS.
