prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The greatest drawbacks to the hog
industry that breeders in this country
have to contend with are the losses
through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infestation of the animals, especial
ly young pigs, by parasites. Were it
not for the fecundity of swine their
profitable production in the presence
of these serious diseases would be out
of the question. In the following re-
marks ON sanitation no attempt Is
made to go into the details of the dis
eases affecting hogs or their treatment.
The object Is merely to call attention
to the simple measures which may be
used by any farmer to avoid, to large
extent, the defamation of his herd by
epiZOotics. Cleanliness and rational
methods of management are relied up
on by thousands of farmers to keep
their herds in health and vigor. They
are the marks of the good farmer and
successful hog breeder.
Hog cholera and swine plague, both
highly fatal diseases characterized by
fever and heavy mortality, are so very
similar that the breeder may regard
them as identical so far as his practi-
cal management of the herd is con-
cerned. Positive differentiation be-

INCREASE IN POTATO YIELD
Average In This Country Has Risen
From n TO 81 Bushels
Since 1894.

Washlngton.-The yield of potatoes
per acre is gradually increasing. the
.'ecords of the bureau of crop esti-
mates show. During 1S66-1s74 the
average was 81 bushels. but 1t declined
t. 71.3 bushels IN 1S75-1S94 Per-
ceptible recovery was made In the fol-
lowing ten-year period and n much
larger recovery. rising to new high
water mark, was reached in 1905-1914,
with its average yield of 81 bushels
Ter acre.
This increase IS due 10 various
'auses, among which are greater spe-
c'alization of production. more inten-
sive treatment and higher fertility Of
the soil. The ten-year average yield
at % bushels per acre in 19O5-1914 was
followed by 96.S bushels in 1915, sos
ushels in the very low year of 1916.
and zoos bushels In 1917.
Compared with population the yield
Of potatoes per acre declined from
lS66-IS74 to 1905-l914. The gail. Of

Pigs Kept Under Sanitary Conditions.
tween the two diseases can only be
made by the most careful bacteriolog-
ical tests, and by employing the assist
ance offered by fully equipped lab
Oratory. However, sanitary preventive
methods which are found beneficial
with one of these diseases will prove,
equally efiicacious with the other.
There are a few fundamental facts
which the breeder must remember If
he is to avoid losses through hog chol-
era or swine plague. The first is that
they are specific diseases caused by
germs, and the contagiOn cannot be
spread from one animal to another or
from one herd to another except
through the agency of these minute or
ganisms. They may be carried in
multitude of ways-by the hogs them
selves. on the clothing of persons, on
vehicles, in feed, by birds, dogs, and
other animals. or by streams. The
breeding or feed of hog cannot cause
either disease, although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and Vi
tally that the animal becomes more
susceptible to them than would other
wise be the case. Since these diseases
can only arise from the presence of
their specific causative agents. 1t can
readily be seen that dentititon and the
presence of supernumerary teeth or
black tusks cannot, as has been sug-
gested by many, play any part in their
development. A second fact to be borne
in mind is that diseases caused by
germs may be best prevented or con-
trolled by thorough disinfectIon and
scrupulous cleanliness.
