Cleaning Up the Hoahouse.

MARYLAND state board of agriculture.
appears the following: "An analysis
of the data obtained from sick herds,
vaccinated in Maryland during 1919,
shows that over one-fifth of the swine
had died or were too sick to treat be-
fore the herds were immunized." In
formation from other states where
control work has recently been con-
Quoted points to a similar lack OF
prompt attention in reporting out
breaks of hog cholera. Much OF the
criticism and unfavorable comment
against anti-hOg-cholera serum are due
to the fact that farmers delay the use
of the product for too long a period
after cholera has reached the herd.
When many of the animals show
symptoms of the disease and the tenn
perature reveals a high fever 1t Is
not reasonable to suppose that serum
will do much toward limiting losses.
Therefore, the warning is again given
TO treat the animals at the very first
sign of cholera in the herd.
Or better still, if there are reasons
to suspect that the hogs have been or
are exposed to infection, they should
be immunized before they have fallen
victims. In sections where there are
no known outbreaks of cholera there
does not seem to be any need for the
use of an expensive treatment, but
when the disease makes its appearance
In the vicinity no time should be lost
IN having all susceptible hogs given
the serum treatment
Reports indicate that farmers and
swine owners are remiss in guarding
against the introduction of infection,
and are generally inclined to expect
too much of anti-hog-cholera serum as
q curative agent.

Modern Crusoes.

Crusoes of today are not so few as
many people suppose. Notwithstand-
ing that in these times almost every
part of the seven seas is traversed by
ships, lonely castaways are being res
cued every year. Now an instance
comes from the Pacific, and now from
the South Atlantic. Yet there are
castaways who are discovered too late.
Recently a United States wind jam
mer" rounding Cape Horn had occa-
sion to send a boat ashore to look for
water on one of the desolate islands
off the PatagOnian coast. They found
more than water. In a roughly-made
little wigwam built in a sheltered spot
near the shore, they discovered the re-
mains of a seaman Of unknown ma
tionality. BY the wreckage strewn
about, it was conjectured he was the
sole survivor of some vessel that had
gone down in that neighbOrhood.

ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
Why the Patron Saint Of England
Fought With and Slew
the Monster.

st. Georges day-April 23-is OBJ
served in commemoration of the patron
saint of England, who, according to
ancient legends, was a prince of Cap
padocia, says London Answers. Some
writer's differ and have doubts con-
corning st. George, the record having
it that he was a native of Cecilia, and
was born in a fuller's shop.
However, ST. George has long been
regarded as the protector and patron
of the English, and is commonly re-
presented on horseback, in full armor,
with a formidable dragon writhing at
his feet.
The drawing, which has become so
familiar to US on our coins, and more
recently on our pound notes, is founded
on the tradition that Ala, the daughter
of an ancient monarch, was once met
by a dragon, which attacked her and
threatened to devOur her.
At this fearful moment st. George
passed by, slew the dragon and rescued
the lady.
The legend has probably come to US
from the East, and belongs to the age
of the Crusades, when st. George is
said to have been hOnored with the
name victorious" The ancient Chris
tian emperors bore emblems Of this
knight upon their standards, and at
tributed a miraculous power to these
sacred banners.
st. George was supposed to have In
luenced the English warriors at the
siege Of Antioch and it was at that bat
tie that "St. George" became the En-
glish war-cry.

TREATING HOGS FOR CHOLERA
Losses Are Inevitable Unless Early
Action Is Taken and Proper
Remedies Applied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
unless early action is taken to dag
nose the cases and apply proper treat
ment when disease appears in your
swine herds, losses are inevitable. The
chances are many that the trouble is
cholera, and under such circumstances
delay Is dangerous, for when that dis
ease has spread and progressed in the
herd the loss of many hogs may he
expected.
Early attention in an outbreak of
hog cholera is essential for the sue
cessful treatment of the herd. 1t has
been told repeatedly that anti-hog- chol-
era serum is not a cure; its use is
primarily intended as a preventive
agent against cholera, and as such It
is universally recognized as the only
reliable treatment. While the serum
seemingly has had some favorable eff
feet when administered to sick hogs
in the very early stage Of the disease,
swine owners should not depend upon
the product to save any number of
animals after they have developed
visible symptoms of hog cholera.
In Farmers Bulletin 1874 (revised)
attention is called to the fact that the
serum is most efEicacious when admin
istered as a preventive. while the
serum is regarded as most efficacious
when administered as a preventive"
the bulletin points out, sit seems to
have some curative value, provided it
is administered when hogs are in the
very early stages of the disease. But
very little benefit can be expected
from the treatme-4t Of hogs that are
visibly sick"
Serum should be used with the IN
derstanding that it is a preventive
rather than a curative agent" at has
been stated that serum alone has some
value in treating sick hogs. This Is
true within a certain limitation. Ordi-
narily it is efficacious only in the very
early stage of the disease, before the
hogs show visible signs of sickness"
