mated for hog cholera, when they
were really suffering from necroba-
cillosis, interitis, or possibly Sc
we're attack of diarrhoea or dysen-
terry. 1t has been my observation
that the profession as we'll as the
layman generally mistakes these
diseassS for hog cholera. AS absurd
as it may seem, some time ago, L
found a herd of sows afflicted with
ordinary milk fever which had been
diagnosed as hog cholera and so
treated. Again, I was called to
Utica, Neb., where a breeder OF
pure-bred hogs had ten days pre-
viously called in one of the profess
sion to immunize his nice herd OF
thrifty, healthy shoats. Upon my
arrival l found those shoats suffer
ing with temperature of from. !Oo
to 1917 degrees, and after making
thorough diagnosis, found they
had every symptom of hog cholera
in its most virulent form. l then
asked the owner why he had not
called the veterinarian who had I'M
munized those shoats, and he re-
piled that he had already done so,
and was informed that his hogs
were now suffering from necrobacil-
losis and there was nothing more he
could do for them. Think of it!
A professional unable to ditferen-
tiate between a disease which car
res with it a temperature several
degrees above normal, and one in
which the temperature is generally
below normal. These are only
few of the many recent cases which
have come under my observation,
but have found so many of them
that l cannot refrain from again
emphasizing the fact that incorrect
differential diagnosis of swine dis
eases has caused thousands of death
losses. DR.. Kinsley in his latest
treatise on swine diseases bears me
out in this, when he says: Much
has been written during the last
few years concerning the diagnosis
and treatment of hog cholera, but
the bulk of this literature has come
from serum producers, and some OF
it has apparently been written with
out sufficient investigation to JUS
tify the conclusions" He further
SAYS: "If more consideration were
given to proper hygienic care and
sanitary control, and less to the
production, distribution and appli-
cation of serum, it is possible that
hog cholera would soon become a
less serious disease.
May Do Harm.
I do not want to leave the i'm
preston that | do not advocate the
use of a good serum in its proper
sphere; no one knows better than
| what good results have been ac-
conrlished through its proper use
However, I do wish to emphasize
the fact when serum is used where
it is not indicated, it will do more
harm than good. 1t is therefore
most necessary for the hog raiser
to be thoroughly familiar with those
indications which demand serum
treatment and also those which Go
not, in order to be able to Judge for
himself whether such treatment is
necessary.

treatment of swine diseases other
than hog cholera, l wish to say:
Every specific disease has its spe-
c:fic symptoms and should have its
specific treatment. There is no cure
all in the hogs materia medica. The
time was when the hog had but few
diseases tnat proved fatal, but to-
day they are mary. Sad to say, the
knowledge and ucatment of these
various diseases have not progressed
as rapidly as the diseases have, and
fer that reason it is very difficult
fol- the hog raiser to get the correct
information concerning them or
their treatment. For instance, it is
not generally known that several
diseases, as we'll as several forms
of the same disease, may exist in
the same herd at the same tine. |

other states delivering lectures on
specific diseases, their treatment and
their relation to hog cholera. In
this way | have an opportunity, such
as few men have had, of determine
ing just what information the hog
raiser has on these diseases, and |
find in a great majority of cases he
has been misinformed, and this.

rather the cause of the vast amount
of incorrect information given him
by those who should be correctly
informed. Not long since, after hav-

True Russians and
Mussulnan Against
Rule Of Bolshevikj

Uja. Russia, May 2S.-(Via Vlad-
ivostok. )-There are about 100000
Bashkirs (Mohammedans of mixed
Finnish and Tartar descent) living
in Perm, Uja, Viatka and Oren-
burg governments. They are for the
most part landowners, small or
great and for that reason are op-
posed to bolshevism, so far at least
as the 1atter's land distribution pro-
gram is concerned. Otherwise there
is little difference between the Mus
sulman and the Russian in his at
titude toward bolshevism.
The Mussulman is opposed to
bolshevism also regarding its policy
toward religion. The mass of the
Mussulman population is extremely
religious and believes that questions
of religion are its own affairs. The
merchants, like the Russian mer-
chants are against bolshevism. The
peasant who owns no land favors it.
Abraham Ahktiamov, social
democrat (menshevik), of Ufa, a
member of the first constituent as
sembly, a Mussulman attorney and
a man of exceptional intelligence,
quotes Lenine, the bolshevik pre-
mier, as saying that to every boil
shevik are attached "39 scoundrels
and 60 fools"
Ahktiamov does not believe in
the possibility of worldwide So
cial revolution because america
doesn't smell like it; France is not
ready for it; England will buy off
its promoters and Germany is too
weak"
The Kolchak government, he
said, is an imperfect nucleus of gov
ernn1ent which in the present state
of affairs must be recognized"

Says Hog Raisers Must Be
Able to Diagnose Diseases
AS There Were 8O000000 Hogs Raised in America Last
Year, It Is Essential That Breeders Know Symptoms
of Diseases to Curb Their Spread
BY J. G. WIDHELM.
President Widhelm Remedy 3 Mfg. Co.,
Fremont, Neb.

Fremont, Neb., June 2S.-Cover-
ing a period of more than IA years,
l have been personally interested
in thousands of herds of hogs in
this and other states. During this
time l have not only diagnosed and
treated every disease known to the
hog, but it has also been my good
fortune to be associated with, and
to assist a number of the best vet
erinarians in the country in their
diagnosis and treatment of a large
number of herds so afflicted. l have
combined this practical knowledge
and work with a thorough and ex-
acting study of the most scientific
treatise on therapeutics and materia
medica in its relation to the hog, and
| have arrived at this conclusion,
There is a woeful lack of the proper
knowledge necessary to correctly
differentiate in many swine diseases.
This fact alone is responsible for
innumerable losses, and it is high
time that the nation should be
aroused to the fact that the first
step necessary to curtail those losses
and increase pork production for
ourselves, is to make it possible and
to see that the profession and the
laity be correctly informed that they
may be able to properly diagnose
those diseases which are so prev
alent, so destructive, and so often
confused.
There is absolutely no reason why
the difference in the most common
diseases of the hog should not be
made plain and ineligible to the
hog raiser so that he may be able to
recognize the trouble in his hog
yard and take the proper means to
control it before it is too late.

believe the profession will agree
with me that in raising over 80,000,-
900 hogs, such as was raised in this
country last year, it would be an ut
ter lmpossibility for them to give
each one of these herds the proper
service at the proper time and also
care for the remainder of their
practice. Then why not make it
possible for the owners to care for
some of those hogs themselves? Is
it in conformity with the wishes of
our government that these great
death losses should be allowed to
occur merely because the profession
is too limited, too busy, or too little
informed? Would it not be much
better for the hog raiser to be sup
piled through Our Bureau of Animal

Phone SYSTEM OF
j. S. BEST OF ALL
NATIONS At WAR
American Forces Able to
Communicate With Any
Part of European Conti-
nent and England.

Coblenz, May 3l.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. .)-At
the time the Americans began with
drawing from Germany, the United
States army had perfected one of
the finest telephone systems in Eu-
rope. From the headquarters Of
the Third Army in Coblenz 50 lorg
distance lines had been set up and
it is possible for the commanding
general to sit in his office and talk
with American officers in London,
Berlin, Vienna Rotterdam, Brussels,
Antwerp, Paris and various other
points in France.
The army of occupation has a tel
ephone system closely resembling
the best commercial system in the
United States. On the top floor Of
the headquarters building in Cob
lenz a nine position switchboard
was installed soon after the Amer
leans reached the Rhine. Scattered
throughout Coblenz are 20 private
branch exchanges of the various
units of headquarters. Connected to
this system are more than 400 Sub
scribers" in addition to the fifty long
distance lines.
Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the
Signal corps under the direction of
Col. Parker Hit, chief signal officer,
a network of wires connecting the
various units of the Third army.
Direct lines connect with all the
corps and divisions, approximately
10000 miles of wire being in service.
This extensive plant has not, how
ever, been built by the Third army
but consists almost altogether Of
the German lines taken over by the
Signal corps and so arranged to
meet the needs of the army. Sufi-
cient circuits were left, however, for
the civilian population to carry on
their business.
More than $4,000 calls are reg
istered daily on the Coblenz switch
board With the establishment of
exchange in Coblenz it was neces-
sary to employ operators who could
speak English, French, and German.
The IS operators on duty in Cob
lenz are all members of the Wom-
ems Telephone corps and have been
in the service more than year. The
chief operator, Miss Helen Cook,
was a former employs of the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany in New York. Previous to
joining the American Expeditionary
force, Miss Cook spent six years as
instructor for the Bell system in Of
fees in Chicago, Minneapolis, Oma-
ha, Cleveland, Detroit and Mem
phis.
The word "Doodlebug" Is the
code name Of the Third army
switchboard in Cob1enz, the corps
and divisions also retaining the code
names that were assigned them dur
ing the war. On the back of a 20
page telephone directory issued by
the Third army the artists concep-
tion of "doodlebug" has been re-
produced in the shape of bug made
up of combination of sabres, rifles
and an aerial bomb.
All the apparatus, including switch
boards, telephone instruments and
in fact, everything excepting the
wires, is of American manufacture
and is to be taken out when the
Americans in force say goodbye to
the Rhine and start for France and
home.
