AS TO PREVENTION BY
AGENT BANE.
Hog cholera is again making its APP
perance in the Morgan community,
three new outbreaks oc occurring III Nor
gan township during the past two weeks
says The NJ organ l1essenger, in its
latest issue These outbreaks have oc-s
Cured in the herds of w. r. Duescher,
Frank Irlbeck and Carl Christensen.
These herds have been vaccinated,
|quarantined and steps taken to prevent,
its further spread $3
Hog cholera outbreaks now exist
over practically all Of Redwood County
EOcsober is the month in which we gen
orally have the greatest loss from cholera
on the part Of all farmers the commune
ties most badly infected will witness a
very heavy loss.
Spread by Pigeons, etc,
Cholera is spread by the germs being
carried from infected herds to healthy
herds This germ is carried in various
ways, most generally by pigeons, crows,
run-around dogs or carelessness on the
part Of the farmers in going from one herd
tosanother The spread can be checked
largely by carefu lness on the part of the
individual farmer.
Community outbreaks OF cholera can
most generally be treated to failure
on the part Of some farmer to report
an infected herd. This failure means
not only the loss Of the infected herd,
but the spread to many herds in that
community. It is very important that
all herds, as soon as any sign Of sickness
occurs, should be looked after irnrne diate-
| ly and be reported to the local veteri-
nariats erto the county Agent, who ID
turn will see that they are taken care Of.
Bane's Advice. q
In a recent bulletin, County Agent
f. M Bane, Of Sleepy Eye, deals with the
hog cholera situation giving the follow
ing practical advice to herd owners:
Thus. far our county has practically
escaped an outbreak Of hog cholera.
In. spite of this fact it behooves every
one to .be extremely careful. If any
Of your hogs should get sick do not lose
any time in making sure what the
trouble is. a great many peop.e put
too much faith in the cure-all properties
Of some Of these patent hog remedies.
Do not be fooled. In general they do
not do the hog any harm but on the
other hand the good they do is negi-
gible when the cost is considered. If
you had toothache you wouldn't dope
yourself with cough syrup. You would
get something for that toothache. When
your hogs have worms give them some
specific for worms. Most of s these
hog tonics have a little bit Of everyt thing
in them and not enough Of anything
to do much good If you want a good
mineral mixture to keep before your hogs
all the time try the following and save

a8is Sterile Serum Stand Test.
The division Of veterinary medicine
Of the Minnesota experiment station has
put under rigid test q quantity Of clear
sterile hog cholera serum which5is being
produced BY several commercial firms,
and finds it to be satisfactory in every
respect. The steriized serut cost $2.55
per 100 cubic centilneters, which is q
little above the price Of the old serum.
However, the size Of the dosage recon-
mended is less, especially for the larger
|sW. :ssg
Dr.. G. p. Fitch, head Of the division,
believes that the use Of the clear sterile
serum has certain advantages, especially
when nnmunizing large pigs.
One IS sure. Z he says, when using
this product that no foreiig 81 material 81
bacteria IS introduced "a the serum.
Yet, we should keep clearly il mind
that the bloody q old anti-hog cholera
serum IS al efficient agent ia the pre-
Svention 81 hog cholera. II Is for each
man to- decide for himself which he will
use. The clear sterile IS certainly n
step ia advance t|i S,5
