PREVENTION OF HOG CHOLERA

Oounty Agent Supplies Valuable Bulletin Prepared by Expert at Purduo University. / ■■ ■' z . _ . County Agricultural Agent O. G. Barrett will be at the Frank Smith fam, 3% miles south of Wheatfield, Tuesday forenoon, Aug. sth, to talk with him about some fam problems, especially about seeding alfalfaT Any other farmers of that section of the county who care to do so, may Barrett at that time, and he will be very glad to meet you and to talk with you about any matter of an agricultural nature It is probable that Mr. Barrett may publish a calendar of his movements as soon as he can determine on what days he will be able to visit various parts of the county. His only fixed visiting dates now are at Remington, where he will be the first and third Wednesday afternoons of each month. The old proverb, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” holds true in the case of hog cholera as well as others. Following are a few suggestions and hints along the line of the preventative ■given out by R. A. Craig, of the veterinary department of Purdue, which might be well for the farmers of this community to have very clearly in mind. Hog cholera 16 spread by healthy hogs coming in direct or Indirect contact with cholera hogs. The gem of hog cholera is carried about a neighborhood by dogs, men, birds and streams. If you live in a section of the state where hog cholera is prevalent, you should carefully observe the following: Don’t allow persons who travel about the neighborhood buying hogs or selling cholera remedies to walk through your hog yards. -Don’t allow your hogs to pasture in fields that receive the drainage from adjoining fams. Don’t allow stock and breeding hogs that you have purchased to mix with your herd until they have been quarantined three weeks. Don’t harbor pigeons, or a dog that is In the habit of visiting neighboring fams. Don’t fail to quarantine your hogs if cholera breaks out among them. Don’t fall to bum the dead hogs. Don’t waste your time and money in buying and feeding socalled hog cholera cures and preventatives. Hog cholera may be controlled and finally stamped out by obeying the rules and regulations governing the prevention, spread and control of infectious diseases among swine, and co-operating with the state veterinarian In their enforcement. These rules and regulations relate to the selling of exposed and diseased hogs; the disinfection of stock cars in which hogs are shipped to market; the shipping into the state of stock and breeding hogs; the proper disposal of the carcasses of dead .hogs; the quarantining of cholera herds, and the use of remedies and vaccines. Violations of the above rules and regulations are costing the farmers of Indiana several million dollars yearly. Because of this, the swine industry has not developed to the extent that it should in this state. Can the Indiana farmer afford to violate laws controlling the spreading of infectious disease/of swine? O. G. BARRETT, Oounty Agent.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1913.

MAY HAVE CLUSTER LIGHTS IN RENSSELAER

If Installed by Property Owners City Will Furnish Current and Keep in. Repairs. Mayor Meyers and Councilman Kresler were absent when the council met Monday evening. E. M. Honan was employed to paint the fire hydrants at 25 cents each. The matter of painting the bridges was referred to the bridge committee and went over to another meeting. J. W. Horton presented a petition for the improvement of Washington street from the river bridge to Cullen street. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution for the same, with four sets of specifications. The council agreed that the city will furnish the current and keep in repair cluster lights if they are installed in the business section of the cty, but the cost of the posts and the globes must be met by money procured by popular subscription. Many have been urging the cluster lights and they would certainly greatly add to the appearance of the city, but the council does not feel Justified in the expenditure for their installation at this time. - Resolutions were introduced for sidewalks on Angelica street from Van Rensselaer to Division on the north side of the street, on Rutsen street from Cullen to Division on the nOrth side and on Harrison street from Cullen and Division on the south side of the street. The city marshal was instructed to notify property owners on Webster street to put in walk at once or city will let contract and charge against the property. The city attorney was Instructed to prepare a resolution for the opening of College avenue from Vine street to the railroad. This will be a fine improvement and will make it possible to approach the new depot from either Forest street or College avenue, whereas all travel is now over Forest street. It will overcome the necessity of turning vehicles at the depot, as they can approach from one street and leave by the other when this street Is opened. It is one of the best things the city has done at recent sessions. - The city engineer was also Instructed to prepare plans for the Improvement. The city marshal was instructed to open up Washington avenue, which is the street in Fred Phillips’ new addition that starts from the west end of Washington street and runs straight west in the rear of the Kannal, Hollingsworth, McCoy and Rowles properties. The city attorney was directed to confer with the utilities commission of the state about telephone rates, etc., and Attorney Leopold left this afternoon for Indianapolis to meet personally with members of the commission.

DESTRUCTIVE WIND ACCOMPANIED RAIN

Fine Hard Shower Done Much Good But Heavy Wind and Lightning * Caused Trouble. Rensselaer enjoyed a fine rain Monday afternoon at about 4 o’clock and the rain also extended over a considerable part of the county. There was some wind here but not enough to prove serious, but in parts of the county the wind done considerable damage, while lightning also struck at several points and hail done great damage in the neighborhood of Medaryville. The Republican has been unable today to get much accurate information, owing to the fact that telephone communication to Medaryville was cut off. South of Rensselaer about two miles there was some wind damage, a number of trees being blown down, limbs torn off and the corn bent over and broken off. Squire Bussell was in from Hanging Grove township and reports that the wind did much damage to corn in his section of the county and expressed the belief that corn in the wake of the heaviest wind was damaged 50 per cent. An elevator or grain dump on his place was turned over and badly damaged. The caps were whisked off the oats shocks and lightning struck one shock of oats and burned it up during the hardest rain, tearing a large hole in the ground. Fred Linbaek had a rick of hay burned by lightning. Squire Bussell reported seeing smoke as of a burning building further to the east. J. J. Hunt, who has a farm near Medaryville received an incomplete report of damage in and near Medaryville. He understood that the hail and windstorm damage covered a strip two miles wide and was quite severe. The two-story frame building occupied by C. T. Russel’s store at Gifford was struck by lightning, but not seriously damaged. The lightning coursed down the chlmnew and tore things up some in the rear of the store. The building ls ! owned by the Odd Fellows and was -insured in G. H. McLain’s agency, and he went there this afternoon to adjust the loss.

Monon President Fishing in The Kankakee at Water Valley.

A special car is sidetracked on the Monon at Water Valley, entirely deserted except for the shining presence of a chef, a waiter and a porter. - How long it will remain there depends upon the fishing in the Kankakee riter, on which stream the president or subordinate officials of the road are steaming up and down, catching pickerel, bass and crappies. Saturday they landed from their luxurious launch and Informed the natives and campers that they had captured 72 goodsized fish in a day’s trip.

Rumley Plant Will Not Close Down as Published.

The Republican, like many other papers in northwestern Indiana, recently published a paragraph which was going the rounds of the press to the effect that C. 8. Funk, the new manager of the Rumley company, had decided to shut down the main factory at Laporte and all of the branches. This article has created a false impression in many places and The Republican is pleased to annouice on reliable authority that the article was not founded on fact Mr. Funk has found it essential in taking hold of the business to curtail expenses in every possible way consistent with good business, but with a.view to eventually bringing the business back to its old standard or even larger than before. Some traveling men have been taken off the road and the territory of others increased and Harry Jacobs, of Rensselaer, who travels for that company, haslust had hfe territory increased by five counties, including two in Michigan. In all he now has 12% counties, White being divided between hmself and another agent. Mr. Funk, the new manager, will keep the business moving and the factories running just as nearly on a full force basis as it is possible. He is associating with himself in the management other able men who have made great successes in the business world and is every prospect that the Rumley company will come out of its difficulties with flying colors.
