HOG CHOLERA SPREADING

/ With hog cholera outbreaks more
numerous in Cecil County than for
several years past, farmers and
swine raisers are failing in many
cases to take advantage of recon-
mendations for the control of the dis
ease, reports DR.. W. H. Wright, gov
ernment specialist in this district.
For some time this county has held a
unique record in that the disease dur
ing the past two years has never
spread from the farms or premises
where it started, although numerous
primary outbreaks have occurred.
However, this record is now shatter-
ed and the malady is spreading be-
cause of the lack Of care on the part
of those who should be vitally inter-
ested in checking its progress.
After making its appearance in the
vicinity of Elkton, Childs, Bethel and
Grove Neck, cholera has spread to
additional farms either through
sick hogs running at large or by per-
sons visiting back and forth. There
are some individuals in these Sec
tions, DR.. Wright states, who seem
inclined to apply to hogs the teach
ings of Emile Coue, rather than
make use of anti-hog cholera serum,
which is known to be the only pre-
ventive for the disease. However, in
spite of the most strenuous urging
that they are "better in every way,
the pigs fail smiserably to respond to
such suggestions and fall sick all too
frequently not to recover.
One man refused to inoculate be-
cause he believed the optimistic for
mula that II guess my hogs won't
get it" had stood him in good stead
last year when cholera was on an adj
joining farm and he escaped having
it. However, threshing gang NOV
ed to his place from infected prem
ises, carrying the disease to his hogs.
Needless to say, these little piggies
won't go to market.
The favorite remedy of another in
dividual proved to be Venetian Red
which he mixed in the slop while
third believed absolutely in the pre-
ventive powers of poke root which he
stated must be good because his
grandfather used it. The Venetian
Red failed equally with the poke root
in preventing cholera, proving that
the only thing recommending these
antiquities is their moss-covered
Perhaps M. Coue did not intend
that his ideas should be practiced ON
The mental complexes Of the porker,
but at any rate some are trying it,
while others are sitting idly by "tak-
ing chance. Unfortunately, Mr..
Hog Cholera Germ waits on neither,
out continues his merry work of deci-
mating the hog population in the
above localities.

LEAKING GASOLINE CAUSES
FTRE

The large double-deck barn On the
farm OF William P. Peach, near
Hoekessin, DEL. was destroyed by
fire on Monday evening, Oct. 1, eaus-
ing a loss of $4,000.
The fire was caused by gasoline
leaking from cans through the floor
Of the Peach automobile while en-
route home from garage.
The gas was to be used in running
a small engine for grinding feed.
When the car was driven into the
garage and the cans unloaded from
the back seat, gasoline dripped down
through the saturated floor board
and struck the hot exhaust pipe.
In an instant the car was mass of
flames.
