Show , PREVENTING HOG CHOLERA The following suggestions for preventing pre-venting hog cholera are given by Dr. H. J. Frederick, of the Utah Agricultural Agri-cultural College. Do not have hog lots next to highways, high-ways, railroads or streams. If your neighbor's hogs have cholera, do not allaw anyone from his farm, to viBit your farm, and especially your hog lot or pens, and k6p away from your neighbor's hog lot, whether his hogs have cholera or not. Do not keep pigeons or allow them to alight on your premises. Keep away crows and buzzards. Quarantine all new hogs that are brought to your place, until you are sure they are free from disease. Do not allow a patent medicine man on your place, for you do not know how recently he has visited a sick nerd. Disinfect your wagon and your own shoes and clothing after hauling hogs to the stock yards or railroad loading pens. Avoid every possible way of carrying infection to your hogs. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." is an old saying, but in this case it is everything. In case your pigs get sick send for either your Agricultural agent or a reliable re-liable veterinarian at once; particularly particular-ly should this advice be heeded if there is hog cholera in the vicinity. |
