Like Typhoid Fever.

Cholera among hogs is like ty-
phoid fever among humans" said Mr..
Houston this morning. For in
stance, man may carry typhoid
germs around in his system for
weeks, but his power of resistance
may be great enough to throw off
the germs to the extent that he goes
for weeks without getting down with
the disease.
ITS the same way with hog and
cholera. The germs of cholera may
be in hogs system, but II his sys-
tenn is right, he won't faii victim
to the disease. For several days,
the weather has been so hot that the
hogs have suffered. The weather,
plus the great amount Of green stuff
they have eaten, has served to lower
the vitality or resistance of ths
hog and he is now an easy victim
to cholera.
THE farmers and stockmen OF
Grady county have their work cut
out Tar them. They must take every
precaution and must work hard and
fast if they would save their hogs.
Cholera is spready by buzzards, by
dogs, by human beings. In fact it
is practically impossible to keep it
from spreading. They only way to
save the hogs that are not already
down, is to vaccinate. The situation
is critical. the farmers have lost
thousands Of dollars and stand to lose
thousands more, il they do not get
their herds vaccinated as quickly
as possible"
