The prime steer undoubtedly will

on the feeders. The kind Of steers he

than the price of the best ones. When
finished and put on the market these
steers ordinarily have sold about half

Whenever a hog dies Of an unknown
cause the owner should watch his herd
closely for at least week, and If any
more hogs in the herd begin to show
signs of sickness a veterinarian should
be called Immediately, for the chances
are that hog cholera has reached the

serum treatment is the only thing that
will save the well animals. A high
temperature, ranging from 105 de

that staggers when 1t walks, is a
pretty good Indication of hog cholera.
Such hogs should be segregated and
not allowed to mingle with other hogs
