WOULD RID COUNTY
OF HOG CHOLERA
disease That is Costing Farm
ers Thousands ofDoIlarsCan
Be Entirely Wiped Out.
Written for The Journal bv
* Dr.W.H.Walker, V.S.
Cholera costs the hog-raising
farmers of Arkansas $1,000,000
a year, I can safely say.
We can stamp out hog
cholera in Independence'coun
ty if we try. They have done
so in other Southern states.
Why not raise ourownhogs?
We do not have to buy from
the packers.
We now have a serum and
virus, made in our own state,
that will make the hog per
manently immune from chol
era.
The virus is hog cholera con
dnsed, and when you inject
the virus into the hog, you
give it cholera. At the same
time you inject the serum you
counteract the cholera, making
the hog permanently immmune
from cholera.
The cost of the serum and
virusis small, according to your
losses from cholera. For the
losses are from 70 to 100 per
cent. And those that do get ov
er it, are comparatively
worthless, owing totheirweak
ened and stunted condition in
growth.
nog cholera is an acute fe
brile disease, which so far as
known only affects hogs. It is
an extremely contagious dis
ease, with a very high death
rate, it is caused by a germ or
microbe, which is found in the
blood of a hog affected with
cholera. A hog is more suscep
tible to the disease, from being
around dirty hog lots, drinking
and feeding troughs, or damp,
cold places to sleep, close to
any public place where there
is no hog law.
file disease is easily carried
by birds, wagon wheels, run
ning streams, cats, dogs, etc.
The symptoms of hog chol
era are not characteristic at
first, only one or two hogs be
ing sick. But later on you no
tice more and more are being
affected. They become sluggish
and disinclined to move, show
weakness, loss of appetite, a
high fever, inflammation of
the eyes with a gumming of
the lids, and there may be a
diarrhea or there may not be
until a short time beforedeath.
If you catch a hog that is
infected you wil find the skin
of the belly, thighs, front legs,
throat and around the nose is
of purple color.
And in some cases on ac
count of the high fever the skin
breaks out in a rash. There
will be a dropping of the head
and ears, and the hog will go
away and lie down by itself.
Summary of post-mortem
apearance after death, are as
follows: Reddening of theskin,
bloody spots in the lungs, on
the surface of the heart, in
the kidneys, and on the outter
surface and inner lining of the
int-estiftes and the stomach,,
reddening of the lymphatic
glands. enlargement of the
spleen, and ulceration of the
inner lining of the intestines.
Anyone or all these symp
toms may be found in one in
dividual case which had died
from cholera. But it is rare to
find all of these symptons in
one individual case.
Now there is only one way
to stamp out hog cholera in
your community. Stay away
from where there is hog chol
era and put your hogs out of
reach ol the sick hogs. Send for
your veterinarian. Havehimex
amine your herd, or write your
agricultural college, or tosome
government inspected firm ask
ing for enough serum and vir
us to vaccinate your herd. If
you have never vaccinated any
hogs yourself better have an ex
perienced hand to vaccinate
for you.
A good tonic that is highly
recommended is as follows:
Antimony sulphide, 1 lb.
Sodium sulphate, 1 lb.
Sodium hyposulphite, 2 lb.
Sodium bicarbonate, 2 lb.
Sodium chloride, 2 lb.
Wood charcoal. I lb.
Sulphur, I lb.
Directions.—Give a two
hundrer pound hog a large ta
blespoon full once a day. The
younger the hog the smaller
the dose. Give according to
age.

write or phone me at Ruther
ford, Arkansas, or write Dr.

COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
We rarely ever meet a man
woman or child who will ad
mit that their home town and
community has a superior. It
is also true that they will re
sent any insinuation that they
fail to do their full share to
ward bettering their commun
ities in every way possible.
However, we occassional ly
run across some person who
[proudly lays claim to a lion’s
share of the credit due for the
advantages of the community
in which he or she lives, but
I who at the same time does
those things which tend to re
tard rather than promote lo
cal development and welfare.
For example: A woman who
lives in- one of the smaller
towns reluctantly admitted that
she buys her “nicest” clothes,
furniture, etc., out of town.
The only reason that she could
give for this action was that
she demanded better goods
than are kept by local mer
; c h a n ts.
Now this woman is sincere
in her belief that she is an im
portant factor in the develop
ment of her town ami commun
ity. She simply doesn’t real
ize the fact that her local
istores are the very backbone
of local prosperity.
The ridiculous feature of the
situation is that she regularly
buys a brand of shoes carried
by one of her local merchants.
The price of this shoe is prac
tically the same everywhere.
It is very probable that this is
also true in the cases of other
articles she sends or goes
' away for.
Remember that every dollar
you spend in t.h% stores of our
local merchant assists in the
improvement and development
of this town and surrounding
trade territory. If you de
mand standard brands of mer
chandise you can buy here
to as good advantage and
much more conveniently than
elsev here.
