Anti-Hog Cholera Serum

Anti-hog cholera serum has been produced by the Purdue Experiment Station for the past three years. About 50,000 hogs have been vaccinated and treated. The results of this work have been highly satisfactory. Reports sent to this station by farmers who have used serum on their hogs show that the average loss in the infected herds treated was 9.5 per cent., and following the vaccination of the healthy herds in these infected localities, 2.25 per cent. In neighborhoods where hog cholera infection is present, all 'herds in the near vicinity or adjoining farms to the cholera hogs should be vaccinated. This precaution, if taken, would prevent the spread of the disease and result in the saving of the exposed herds. Anti-hog cholera serum is chiefly a preventive agent. Because of the losses that sometimes occur in the badly infected herds that are treated and the large doses required, we refuse to furnish serum for the treatment of such herds. As practically all of the vaccination work is- done in cholera infected localities and exposed herds, it is very necessary to determine whether the exposed hogs are infected before giving them virulent cholera blood. In hog cholera, the animal is feverish several days before it stop£ eating or manifests marked symptoms of disease. For this reason the body temperature of -all hogs should be taken before injecting the virulent blood. If the animal has a body temperature of 104 degrees or more, serum alone in an increased dose should be used. Virulent blood should not be given when fever is present, whether it be from hog cholera or any other cause. Failure to practice the above precaution has resulted in heavy loss in a number of herds where serum has been used. The most desirable size at which to vaccinate hogs is when they weigh from 40 to 60 pounds. At this size the dose of serum is comparatively small and the young hogs can he easily handled and rendered permanently immune. In infected localities it is sometimes necessary to vaccinate small pigs. This is frequently practiced, hut it may be necessary to re7vaccinate them within a few months as the immunity is not permanent.

It is essential that the herd be given good care during and after vaccination and treatment. Hypodermic syringes appropriate for the work should be usee* and these should be carefully cleaned and disinfected before using. The inner sides .of the thighs where the injections are made, should be washed and disinfected. After vaccination the hogs should be kept out of dirty pens, manure piles and muddy wallows, in order to prevent infection of the small wound made by the hypodermic needle. The herd should be given clean, dry pens, free from dust and well bedded, and fed a light ration for a few days fol- . lowing the vaccination. When the abscesses form,' they should receive the necessary treatment. Badly infected herds should not be treated with serum, if the infection is recent, serum may be tt«ed, but in addition the herd sfamid receive proper treatment and care. ft » impossible for this stalk*- to produce sufficient serum to m the orders received. Re- - rr

quistion blanks are furnished the veterinarians, and orders for serum are' made through them. It is necessary to charge for the serutn and virulent blood, as this line of work receives no state support. The average cost of vaccinating hogs has been about 60 cents per head.— H. H. Madaus, Ass’t. in Veterinary -Laboratory.

Letter From South Dakota.

In renewing her subscription to The Alice E. Hughes writes from Frankfort, So. Dak., under date of August 28, and among other things says: “We have just finished thrashing here, which was not a very big job. Everything was a failure this year except potatoes. They are fine an’d plenty of them. A great many did not make their seed back on wheat and oats, but many of the landowners furnish all the seed and take one-half the crop, so that makes it somp easier on poor folks. Last night we had alight frost but not to damage anything. The nice rains we have had the last month or more makes plowing much better and we have hopes of a crop next year. . Last year crops were great. For instance, my brother Charles Hughes, thrashed 6,400 bushels of grain, and on the same’ land this year got only 568 bushels. This was all caused by the drouth and is this way all over Spink county. But we are .not discouraged, are going to stick it out, and have 500 acres of fine land rented for next year. We are all well and hope our Jasper county friends the same.

Ready for delivery off our fioor, two of those staunch, reliable runabouts that have made the Maxwells “the 'great economy cars.” A car which can run on Jasper county roads at a total cost of 1 3-10 cents per mile. A nice carrying space on these cars, too. Step in and let us show you how to save money.— Maxwell. An armful of old papers for a nickel at the Democrat office.

BOYS!

Bob McAdoo, the hero in our latest serial, “The Man Higher Up,” reminds us of boys,— ? And speaking of boys,-—there is nothing quite so inspiring as the one who comes up through his teens and raps at the doorway of manhood, clean, capable, and untainted. The teens are his ultra-suscep-tible years and we have seen so many go down under the temptations that beset them that when one pulls' into dock unscathed by the storin’ we cannot avoid a feeling of admiration for his safety. We say safety, for if a boy is clean when he steps out of his teens into the maturity of manhood he’s almost as secure as a deposit in a postal savings bank. There are three important sev-en-year periods in the life of every boy. The first seven are spent with his mother, an atmosphere akin to*4he divine. His seven are used to breakaway from this influence and mingle in a company of fellows whose atmosphere is not so wholesome. t - _ His third seven are the ones in which invites, the green cloth appeals, when late hours are enticing, when self-respect has the tussle of its life to avoid submersion. It is the danger period plus. It is the period when a- mother’s anxiety whips itself into a frenzy—when her lonely vigils contrast strangely with the father’s stolid disregard and indifference. It is the period which if invaded by a strong friendship, a la Bob McAdoo, exhaltation comes boldly to the front assumes command and guides him into the haven of upright manhood—and the yiawning abyss that longed to engulf him goes unsatiated. —— —- Honestly we believe, that the publication of . our serial story, “The Man Higher Up,” will be applauded.

An Attorney Author.

Attorney A. D. Babcock was down from Goodland Monday on business. Mr. Babcock favors the Enterprise with an original poem this fjlveek, the first he has seen fit to publish for . many years, though his scrap book is well filled with musings of his idle hours. Mr, Babcock also gives -some time to fiction and is completing a novel which he will have published in book form. It touches on the early history of this section back in Indian days, embelished with? romance, wit and humor. Mr. Babcock has been a close student of local history and has a rich fund of knowledge. prise. . \ _ ■

The Question Answered.

Editor Jasper county Democrat, Dear Sir:—-The question in your valuable paper some time ago “Where do Ministers of the Gospel get Their Authority to be Called ‘Reverend,’ ” is not answered, so far, and it is rather a difficult question. It does not seem to be unlawful to use the word. “Reverend’’ comes under the law—man made law—but the word Reverend is applicable to Jehovah only. From the bible standpoint man has no divine authority to use that title. The word reverend occurs one time only in all the Holy Scriptures—to the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise God. God is a Divine Spirit being in heaven, reverend and holy is his name. Psalms 111; 9. Man is of the earth—earthly, dust. Thou art and unto dust shalt thou return. Man i is mortal. God’s thoughts and; ways are not man’s thoughts and ways. God and man are dist’nct •and definite beings and they are two opposites. The word immortal occurs one time only in all the Holy Scriptures, Ist Timothy 1; 17. Isaiah, 55; 8,9, and the bible is the word of God, and the Scripture cannot be broken. V JOHN CASEY,.
