GOOD PREVENTIVE OF VERMlN
All Small Enclosures Should Be
Cleaned and Disinfected Before
Being Used.

Except in accidental cases. hog lice
are found only OH hogs and they do
not voluntarily leave their natural
host, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. When sepa-
rated from the animal they live only
two or three days. The lice pass
readily from one hog to another when
the animals come In close contact.
Practically all cases Of infestation
occur from contact with lousy ami
mails and not from infected premises.
Under reasonably good sanitary CON
ditions pens. corrals and premises
which have contained lousy hogs are
not source OF danger to hogs free
from lice.
Az II precautionary measure, how
ever and because II Is good sanitary
practice. all small Enclosures which
have contained lousy hogs should be
cleaned nnd dislnfected before being
used for a new lot of hogs. The litter
aud manure should be removed and
the floors cleaned after which the
woodwork and floors should be sprayed
with n good disinfectant. The coal
tar-creosote dips. diluted In accordance
with instructions on the container, are
suitable for this purpose.
