Show HOG GUI IS II SPREADING IN THE com , County Farm Demonstrator W. Preston Thomas states that hog cholera chol-era in the county has been confined to tho farm of J. Hewitt of Marriott, and that he expects to check Its spread. Mr. Hewitt's hogs have been vaccinated and tho premises thoroughly thor-oughly disinfected. There is only one case on the farm, but there may be other developments in the course of a few dayB. It Is hoped, however, that with the vaccination precaution, and the liberal use of disinfectants there will be no other caso. Mr. Thomas urges precaution among tho farmers of the district and he advises that the infected premises bo not visited by persons, as the cholera chol-era germ Is readily transmitted from one yard to another through contact of individuals with tho infected place. He says that If tho farmers will be careful during the quarantino period and not permit their stock to get near the premises, and also not visit the place themselves, tho much dreaded dread-ed diseaso can be overcome. |
