VACCINATE AND PREVENT HOG CHOLERA

an outbreak of cholera will be per
manently immune for life. In some
cases there may be a hog that is nat
urally immune but such animals are
scarce.
Where an outbreak of cholera &C.
ours much can be done if the owner
will prevent his neighbors from en-
tering the hog lot or even his farm.
If it is necessary to enter. disinfection
of the feet of the horses and the
wheels of the vehicle are absolutely
necessary. Hogs that die should be
burned, or buried deep enough with
a good application of lime over the
carcass. Crows turkey buzzards and
dogs, if allowed access to carcass
of a hog that died with cholera, will
spread the disease all over the
country
Most Of the large hog breeders of
the county have already vaccinated.

over 200 small pigs short time ago.

The Submarine and the Motor Boat

The Outlook makes the following contrast be-
tween the submarine and the motor boat:
Italian sailors lately showed that the SUBJ
marine is not the only small craft capable Of
engaging dreadnaught. Commander Rizzo and
Commander Milazzo with two tiny motor boats
had the audacity to attack Austrian war-ships
out at sea. One 2O,OOO-ton battle-ship was des-
troyed by torpedo, another was disabled, and
destroyer was crippled. This was in itself no
inconsiderable naval victory, while the moral
value of such an exhibition of intrepidity is
cheering in high degree. Six months ago Com
mander Rizzo sank another Austrian battle-ship,
the Wien, at Trieste. Commander Rizzo's rival
in such exploits is Captain Pellegrini, who recent
ly raided Pola Harbor and destroyed a dread
naught.
German submarine activities on the American
latest report of loss was that of a Norwegian
sailing ship, the Kringsjaa. This is, we believe,
the twenty-first vessel to be destroyed. The
German sea-lawyers must labor desperately to
build up defense for the destruction on the high
seas and beyond all the German-made danger
zones of neutral vessel, unarmed and guiltless
of offense. Another ship recently destroyed was
the Vindeggen, loaded with copper, eighty tons
Of which was transferred to the submarine, which
doubtless then made speed for Germany, where
copper is precious. These two attacks from their
dates show conclusively that at least two SUBJ
marines have been over here. Admiral Wemyss
First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, lately
expressed strong opinion that only one SUBJ
marine had operated on the American coast
Apparently he was mistaken in this, but he was
right in attributing the motive of this submarine
campaign to the German wish to brighten the
American people and cause us to withdraw war
vessels from convoy duty. The total failure of
this scheme is seen in the immense increase this
month of American troop transportation.

By J. c. KLINE.

The much dreaded disease. hog
cholera. continues to do destructive
work in Wayne county. New out
breaks occur from time to time with
no apparent reason. There is no cure
for this disease when it once gets
started The only way Of combating
the disease is to vaccinate before the
hogs get sick.
Hog chorela is caused by a germ so
small that it cannot be seen by the
highest powered microscope. 1t is
known to be caused by germ since
the symptoms and methods OF spread
ing act very similar to diseases known
to be caused by germs.
The first noticeable symptoms OF
hog cholera are the loss Of appetite
among the pigs, they may have diar-
rhea or show weakness in the hind
qua rters, wabbling from side to side
as they walk Red blotches may ap-
pear on the stomach. In severe cases
the ears, nose or tail may slough Off.
Upon post norton examination If the
kidneys are taken out and the outer
skin removed from them small speck-
like blotches, similar to those on a
turkey egg will be seen. This symp-
tom is never present with other dis
eases that affect hogs and is one of
the surest ways of diagnosing hog
cholera.
There are two kinds Of hog cholera,
the acute and chronic. In the acute
cases, the hogs die within seven to
ten days after they become sick and
in the chronic cases they may live
for six weeks or longer some Of them
finally dying and many Of them get
ting we'll.
All hog cholera remedies sold on
the market claiming to cure hog chol-
era are not worth taking home Elk
periments conducted at Purdue
showed that in every case where the
so-called hog cholera remedies were
used, none of them saved the hogs
On the other hand the lot treated
with serum and virus came through
the experiment without a loss.
The most suitable time to vaccinate
pigs is when they weigh so or 60
pounds and before any of them get
sick. Suppose your neighbor had a
severe outbreak of hog cholera and
you had a number of small pigs, it
would not be a good plan to wait I'M
til they weighed so pounds before vac
cinating. They ought to be treated
at once even though they only weigh
10 pounds. They, however, may out
grow the immunity conferred but an
other treatment can be given when
they weigh so pounds or more. The
cost Of vaccinating is less when the
treatment is given to pigs weighing
so or 60 pounds.

The Wayne County Wheat Crop

Estimates indicate that the wheat crop Of the
county will be the largest in it's history. Farm
ers planted large acreage last year in conform
ity with the governments request and also made
sure that the seed wheat was of excellent quality
These factors and the good growing weather are
responsible for the crop which is being garnered.
The whole community rejoices in the prosper
Gus condition of the rural districts, for agricul-
ture remains the backbone of any nation, and
when the farmer is making money, the worker
also finds himself in good circumstances.
City dwellers have assured the farmer that
they will assist him to the best of their ability
in harvesting the crop. How much their services
will be in demand is problematical but the spirit
shown by the men of this city should make the
farmer feel that the citizens of Richmond want
to make sure that their interest in him is more
than passing one

Entering the Service

The enlistments of men who are not of mill
tary age shows that the men of this community
are not waiting to be coaxed into service. Quite
large number of professional and business men
have laid aside their civilian pursuits for careers
in the army and navy.
This patriotic service is general throughout
the country. AS the war continues, the number
of men who leave their home communities will
become increasingly greater. 1t is strong de-
