Practice Safe Farming Then

IN address to the Southern Cattlemen's
Association.
Failure to maintain our livestock in
proportion to our population means de-
peodence on countries, said DR..
Mohler. 1t means dependence on them
for meat. for leather, and for animal
fats. It means dependence on them
also for fertilizers with which to main
tain crop yiels in the absence of manure.

Swine Influenza Prevalent

"Hog flu" or swineinluenza." known
bv vetriarians as hemorrhsgic septi-
cemia. has been more or less prevalent
in Tennessee for the past few months,
but Tennessee is not alone in this af-
Fiction. The disease prevails in many
parts of the country.
The principal symptoms of "hog flu
are: rise of temperature, partial or
complete loss of oppetite, discharge
from the eyes snd nose, coughing, and
early development of "thumps" as the
result of pneumonia. Thumps consti-
tut-s one of the most characteristic
indications. As rule, there is little
or no redness of the skin. The onset
of the disease is sudden and runs arap-
i'd course, as the hog ln most instances
makes complete recovery in from
eight to ten days. We must not over
look the fact, however, that the disease
may a. any time assume a. more fatal
form.
AS treatment, the first and most Inn
portant thing is to place the hogs un-
der sanitary conditions, including clean
,well.bedded. and properly pentilsted
roomy pens; better still. If weather
conditions will permit, allow the open
especially in q good grass lot. They
should have sccess to good water and

Omphal 0phlebitis, Pyemic Arthri-
tis---Navel Ill-..Of swine

This is an acute infectious disease OF
recently farrowed pigs, characterized
by inflammation of the umbilical tissues
and suppurative arthritis. This disease
has existed since the dawn Of history,
and some years Is responsible for Sc
rious loss In young pigs in some locali-
ties.
This disease is due to an infection of
the umb,licus in the new born Time
of the infection is usually the first two
ar three days, but may be as late as the
second or third week. This disease is
iue to an infection of several organ
sms. ine siaphylococcus pyrogenes
Aureous, streptncoccus also has been
found, and some etimes the bacillus py-
oey aneus causes this condition as well
as he colan bacillus,
There is evidence of the transmission
of this disease 10 utere from the dam
to the fosl in the horse, but no such
evidence has been found in swine,
The infection gains entrance through
umoilical vessels, reach the blood and
is disseminated throughout the body.
Symptoms and LESSONS are variable, de-
pendipg upon the number and yirulency
of tneinfective organisms. The typicaI
LESSONS are those of omphalitis and sup
pur alive arthritis. Inflammation of the
umbllcal vessels may be limited or
there may be an accumulation of pus,
the Inflammation being typical sup.
puratlon aud abscess formation. There
is an Increased amount of fluid in the
joint, and it may be turbid and perhaps
contain fakes of coaguIated material,
causing the pigs to be lame or stiff and
indlsposed TO move. On examination
one or more of tue arllculatlons are
found to be swollen and sensitive, the
tarsal joints being most frequently in
vrled There may also be dlarrhoea,
The course of the disease is usually
brief, the pigs usually dying on the
second or third day.
Treatment:-A curative treatment up
TO he present time has not yet been
discovered Our only means of COM
batting this condition is mostly prevent
i've. BY having good clean quarters
and bedding for the mother at time OF
narrowing this disease caA be controlled,
a. it is usually right after narrowing
in dirty quarters that infection takes
place The mortality is very high as a
rnle-from 80 to 80 per cent. and sorne-
times as high as 100 per cent. 1t is
much safer End better to pay little
more attention to the quarters of the
mother than to have litter of pigs be-
come infected with this disease, and all
due 10 carelessness and fifth. :
