Ramsey didn't think so. He had be-

to fire their cannon on the crest Of the

a little way down the street came the

BURY DEAD ANIMALS
DEEP IN QUICKLIME
Many Outbreaks Of Infectious
Diseases PreventabIe.
Hog Cholera Is Most Dreaded Seourge
and Jeopardizes Porker Popula-
tion-oid Metal Wheel Use
ful as Pyre.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
All farm animals that die from un-
known causes should preferably be
buried deep in quicklime. Many out
breaks of infectious diseases owe their
origin to carcasses which were allowed
to decompose In the open pastures or
barn lots to which other animals had
access. The United States Department
of Agriculture advises every farmer
who suffers mortality among his live
stock from unknown causes to have a
competent veterinarian make post
mortem examination and cremate the
remains or bury them deep In quick
lime.
Hogs, next to poultry, are usually
the most numerous live stock on the
average farm, and as hog cholera Is
the most dreaded scourge which jeop-
ardizes the porker population, 1t is
obligatory that the ~carcasses Of hogs
dying from unknown causes should be
burned or buried deep In quicklime.
An old metal wheel serves as an ex-
celIent base for the funeral pyre. The
wheel should be raised five or six
inches above the ground on three or
four stones, so that fire can he
kindled underneath 1t. The carcass 0f
the dead hog should be placed on this
wheel. In order that the carcass will
burn readily and thoroughly, 1t should
be slashed deeply with knife so that
the flames may penetrate to the TAT
and all the carcass burn rapidly.
Where horses or cattle die, so much
labor is involved In digging trenches
of sufficient size and depth to accom-
modate them that it is preferable to
dig deep a smaller grave and to dis
member the carcasses so they will fit
in the small space. These graves
should be not less than five feet deep
and the carcasses should be covered
thickly with quicklime, which will soon
consume the fleshy portions.
