THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELV FARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. Cholera in Carptentre Township Heavy loss of hogs from cholera upon at least one farm in Carpenter township serves to impress people of the county with the great necessity of using every precaution to prevent animal diseases this season. “I have lost 32 heavy hogs,” said this farmer, “and it makes me feel as if I never want to see another one on the farm. I bought these pigs last fall understanding that they were double treated but have since learned that they were not.” Now is the time to plan to combat this disease. Plenty of range, ample pasture and properly balanced rations will do much to keep the hogs healthy. Immediate consultation with a veterinarian when any disease is suspected is the only safe course to pursue. This is not a season to tolerate epidemics of animal diseases.
