GREETINGS

It's easy enough to be formal;
It's easy to be polite;
For such are the methods normal
By which we keep going right.
There are phrases we use when meeting
OF fine elaborate show
But there's nothing excels the greeting
OF simple, direct "Hellow
Even the telephone lends 1t 2 49,
genial and breezy boost. -etES
AS some one, afar, extends II @fsA
Who hasn't been introduced, t&N
And sometimes a churl will grab II, III
And It's time to be going slow. -
Lest somehow you catch his habit
OF a chilly and curt 'Hellol"
But grciiches can't conquer the feeling.
Earnest and All sincere,
That the good old world Ia revealing
When cherished friend draws near.
Free from all faint misgiying.
II brings to your heart the glow
That reminds you-that life's worth living

hours. The infection usually occurs
thru the digestive tract, but this may
also occur thru wounds. Under farm
conditions the former is unquestion-
ably the most important channel.
J The disease is usually indicated IL
its early stages by marked elevations
of temperature, the animal being in .
ifeverish condition, but the high TEN.
iperature is not constant, for it is not
uncommon to find animals badly af-
.fected with the temperature practically
normal, especially IL the disease per-
,sists for several days. There is a loss
of appetite, ruminatlon stops and a
partial or complete falling off in the
milk secretion. In any form there Is
rapid loss of flesh accompanied By ex.
IRENE weakness, with staggering from
iside to side when made to move about.
The disease may run very short
course. the animal dying In a Few
hours or 1t may extend over period
iof several days or d week and then die,
or, as is sometimes the case, finally
make a recovery. The skin form seems
ito be the most fatal.
In sheep the lambs, especially at
about weaving time, seem to be the
most susceptible and may show symp-
toms similar to those described for
cattle. The more prolonged cases
however are usually found in older
sheep. In swine the disease has made
its appearance In this State, prlnci-
pally in the lung form, either as an
independent disease or as complica-
tion Of Hog Cholera. 1t is also re-
ferred to in hogs as Swine Plague and
Hog Flu" showing as its most con-
slant symptoms marked humping, dis
charge from the eyes and nose, early
high temperature which lasts only
few days, with or without bowel dis
turbance, at times marked redness OF
the skin and when lying down, they
rest on the belly and sternum instead
of on the side as swine usually do.
In Tennessee it has rarely destroyed
over thirty or forty percent Of the cat
tie in the herd and in most instances
less than that. In hogs it rarely de
stroys over five percent unless 1t is
complicated with Hog Cholera infec-
ton and then it becomes extremely
fatal

STOCK DISEASES
Hemorrhagic Septice mi a,
Known Also as Swine Plague
and "Hog Flu"Threatens
the Industry

Among the. various infectious dis
eases to which animals are susceptible,
Hemorrhagic Septicemia, il more or
less frequent IN Its occurrence, and It's
control offers an exceedingly important
problem at the present time. Every
state and every country has Its losses
from this disease and experience In NE
past has impressed the Importance Of
bringing 1t forcibly to the attention Of
our livestock people. says DR.. NJ. ia
cob, State Veterinarian. An enormous
amount of inyestlgational work during
the past few years has given clearer
conception of this condition and the
ability to recognize 1t has been simpli-
fed very materially. 1t is not new
disease, but simply matter of now
being able TO diagnose conditions which
were formerly not understood. 1t oc-
ours most frequently In cattle, sheep
and hogs. In Tennessee, at this-time,

1t seems that the germ is prevalent
In the soil of many localities which
under certain conditions becomes dam
gerous and will readily produce the
disease Furthermore when once the
animal develops the disease the vari-
Gus body tissues and excretions. may
carry the germ, consequently, the dis
tribution Of the carcass, blood, bowel
excretions, etc., may be the means of
spreading 1t. This should be kept in
mind when measures for Its control
are undertaken. While the various
species of animals are susceptible, 1t
does not appear to spread directly
from one species to another. Conse-
quently, If the disease were to appear
on the farm only among cattle, it would
not be essential TO administer protec-
tive treatment to the sheep or hogs.
Aitho the disease Is contagious, II
varies considerably in its virulence and
affects most readily those animals of
the herd or flock which are In the most
thrifty condition, resembling in this
respect the frequent fatal Examinations
of Influenza and its complications, In
strong, robust people during the rather
recent epidemics.

METHODS OF TREATMENT

The treatment of the affected AMI
mails with medicinal agents is of little
or no value and is usually not attempt
ed. When the disease appears the sick
cattle should be isolated and If an ami
NAL dies the carcass should be de-
stroyed by burning. The building or
parts of them which were occupied by
the infected animals should be cleaned
and disinfected. All the animals should
be yaccinated as soon as possible with
Hemorrhagic Septicemia vaccine. This
should also be given to the sick cattle
but repeated in them two or three
times at intervals of four or FIVE days.
in extremely ylrulent outbreaks II is
sometimes necessary to revaccinate
the entire herd in two or three weeks.
1t should be remembered that vaccina-
ton is primarily preventative instead
of curative and results may be ex-
peeted accordingly. Experience in
vaccinating sheep has been satlsfsc-
tory.
Hemorrhagic Septicemis as an indie
pendent disease, is not difficult to con-
troll, but it will require vigilance on
the part of the owner or attendant so
that proper methods for protection
may be applied as early as possible.

be In perfect working order and the

pose they have found that the new,
nausealess calomel tablets called Cal
otabs, are far more effective even
than the old style calomel, which was
formerly the universal favorite, as
Calotabs do not weaken the patient,
nor interfere with the appetite and
digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Gallo
tab at bed time with a swallow of
water-that's all. No salts, no nau-
sea, nor the slightest interference
with your diet, pleasure, or work.
Next morning you wake up feeling
fine, your liver is active, and your ap-
