WATCH FOR HOG CHOLERA

The Bureau of Animal Husband
ry of the Department of Agricul-
ture has issued the following time
ly bulletin:
According to observations made
over a number of years, now is the
time that hog cholera is most likely
to appear and usually extends well
through the winter months. 1t is
true, however, that hog cholera oc-
ours at any and all times of the
year regardless of weather condit-
ions, but as mentioned above, it
seems to be more prevalent during
the winter months.
Reports indicate that outbreaks
of cholera are springing up here
and there in central and south Mis-
sissippi, therefore, farmers and 9TH
ers interested in hog raising are
earnestly urged to keep a close
watch on their herds in order that
the disease may be detected at the
od| llSSI HIOlHCIl anu oISpo tahSil
to vaccinate against its further
spread.
Once cholera gets a good start
in herd there is no known remedy
that will effectively combat it. Vac
cination while hogs are in a good
thrifty condition is the safest insur-
ance against the ravages of cholera.
These facts should be kept in
mind and any trouble suspected
of being cholera should be reported
to your nearest veterinarian. Some
counties and even groups of coun-
ties have no veterinarians. If this
is the case in your section call on
your County Farm Demonstration,
who is usually in a position to help
you or. knows how to secure State
or Federal aid.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board in cooperation with the U.
S. Bureau of Animal Industry is
constantly on the lockout for out
breaks of cholera and are in a po-
sition to render valuable assistance

that the latter take care of them

bath every day in a warm room,

 ABOUT ALASKA
 FROM SEATTLE

SEATTLE, April 21. - A review of the coal development of the last year
 in Alaska made by the Chamber of l Commerce shows the total coal produc- tion of 1921 amounted to 76,2S5 tons, with valuation of $467,994. The ! greatest development last year was that of the Healy River Coal Cor ! poration, Evan Jones Coal Company | and the Alaska Navy Coal Commits
 sion The first mine is in the Nenana
 field, producing Ignite coal; the Jones mine Is in the Matanuska Field, ! producing bituminous coal, and the | Alaska navy coal commission in the same field as the Jones, but develop ing a semi-bituminous coal for naval purposes.
