Vaccinating Against Charlton.

Vaccinating live stock is made
almost imperative by the present
high price on meats of all kinds.
Hogs should be vaccinated once
"a year in all low countries or
where large numbers are kept
together, by the double method
which immunizes the life. Over
a period of years the investment
required to buy serum will prove
to be a paying proposition. Vac
cinate before disease gets into
your herd for vaccination will
prevent cholera but will not cure
more than very small percent
age of cases.
fascinating against Charlton
is not necessary every year since
there is not so much Charlton in
the parish. In the event of an
outbreak all cattle within range
of infected place should be i'm
mediately voccinated. The vac
cination Of horses and cattle
against Charlton is only good for
about one season. a repeat dose
is necessary in a year if infec-
ton still exists on the range.
Blackleg is another disease for
which no vaccine is good longer
than one year, but fortunately
no animal will need to be vacci.
mated more than two times as
the disease does not affect ami
mails over two years old. There
has been quite a lot of Blackleg
in Grant parish scattered over
the past twelve months. There
is no cure for Blackleg. Vacci-
nation of well animals will pre-
vent the diease. 1t is the duty
of your county agent to tell you
what kind of vaccine to buy for
the above contagious diseases
and show how to administer the
medicine on arrival.
