FAEHEB Swine Flu Exceedingly Expensive to Breeders Since the Introduction of preventive measures for hog cholera, greater loss 13 sustained hy hog producers from flu than from cholera. Flu undoubtedly causes greater financial loss to the producer of hog3 than any other single disease. While many hogs actually die from flu the main damage occasioned hy this disease is the result of los3 in condition of the herd. When a herd is infected with the flu, even though recovery i3 secured without I0S3 from death, there is a tremendous waste of feed, for the porkers not only fail to gain in weight while affected with the disease, but "generally they, also lose weight. When brood sows become affected with the jflu, the problem is still more serious because it very often causes abortion and If not, many of the pigs will be bom dead, so that the average num-;b- er of pigs raised per sow, even though no sows are lost, may be reduced by 100 per cent, which makes the pigs very expensive. The thing to do is to Institute preventive measures against this disease by supplying good, well ventilated sleeping quarters, kept well bedded. i Smooth, soft cotton materials that launder easily are best for e, children3 rompers.

With rats and mice in evidence in large numbers, farmers will do well to begin vigorous control measures .against these filthy, destructive pests. Powdered barium carbonate, mixed with various types of food on a basis ' of one part of the poison to four parts of the selected food, has proved very effective. In the control of large rats, which fare especially destructive to young poultry, a rabbit carcass with the poi--i son worked into knife cuts, has given .unusually good results.
