The So-Called New Treatment for Hog Cholera.

, Pnrdae University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bulletin No. 88, April H. IWO.I ' Several years ago when lecturing before Indiana farmers’ institutes, Mr. S. H. Todd of Ohio, advocated the feeding of meat from hogs that had died of cholera, to healthy pigs. The claim made was, that feeding this diseased flesh produced a mild form of the disease, and the pigs fed the same ^hereafter would be free from cholera. This view advanced by Mr. Todd caused considerable comment. Apparently, however, the method of treatment adopted by him was not entirely a success, for in March, 1899, he wrote the undersigned that his hogs took sick and died so easy. “I say it was hot the cholera. It was much worse. I lost 40 head of hogs.” ‘ This, however, was perheps just as much a case of Cholera as many swine breeders report on. At the present time an attempt is 1 being made by Indiana parties to sell on the market much such a method of treatment as that adopted by Mr. Todd. The claim is made that pregnant sows fed flesh from cholera diseased swine, will have the malady in a mild form, and that the unborn pigs will also be affected, so that thereafter they will be free from cholera and be “immune,” as it is termed. While no experiments have been conducted by disinterested parties to prove the effectiveness of this method reasoning from comparisons: as shown by experience with other diseases, both with humans and animals, it is entirely unlikely that this method will prove a preventative. Further, this station is in possession of facts proving that pigs born from sows affected with cholera while pregnant, have died from the disease long after. Recently numerous communications have been received by this station inquit ing concerning this method of treatment, and we now have a letter which implies that this station has endorsed this practice. Hog cholera is a contagious disease, and when once il secures a foothold in a herd, usually runs a course, and after much fatality, becomes more or less extinct, especially where serious attempts are made to stamp out the disease. For generations hog cholera has ravaged herds of swine in America, and for many years the disease has been carefully studied by the best authorities on animals’ diseases, and thus far no certain remedy, based on V extended trial for a term Of years has been brought out. The cause of the disease is ^understood, but a fairly certain method of prevention or cure is not as yet demonstrated. Notwithstanding this fact, numerous men calling themselves doctors, many of whom are quacks, are constantly foisting on the farmers at exorbitant prices, what they claim to be sure cures for cholera. Enormous sums of money have been paid in the .aggregate, by farc mers for so-called cholera remedies that cost a mere trifle to the manufacturers. The Indiana experiment station will endorse no hog cholera remedy now on the market, and this bulletin is a reply to the numerous inquiries addressed us by swine breeders on this' subject. The most that we can recommend is absolute cleanliness about the pig yards and lots, and the liberal use of disinfectants. C. S. Plumb, Director..

* His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. LiHy, a, prominent citizen of Hannibal, Missouri, lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with typhoid fever that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing' helped me., I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it* and now am well and strong. I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvelous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all throat and lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Stearnes Drug Co's, store, every bottle guaranteed. T. C. Nelson and wife and James S. Ridge and wife of Marion township, were in town Saturday shopping.

IRA LIGHT FOR LIFE. tilbson County Jury Find* Him Guilty As Charged. Ira Light and Frank Purcell will serve lifetime sentences at Michigan City. Purcell done the shooting and Light said “Shoot him again and see him wiggle.” The state done its duty in sending these men to the penitentiary for the death of Rufo Ross. Light’s trial followed that of Purcell and the jury last Friday brought in a verdict of guilty and assessed the same punishment as that meted out to Purcell., Andy Meltry, who is charged as an accessory, was placed on trial immediately after the jury in the Light case retired. The same evidence was submitted as in*the Light trial with some additional by the defense. The case was submitted to Judge Duncan, who will .render an opinion today (Friday.) It is more than likely that he will get off with a light sentence. The attorneys for Light will argue a motion for a new trial at the sano^ time.

We haven't seen a mention of “Jumbo” and the “gas city of Southern Indiana” for several moons. Did the main burst?— Jasper Herald. Old Jumbo is still the banner well of the United States, has 575 pounds pressure and thfe volume of gas has greatly increased since it was drilled in three years ago. During the winter over 300 stoves attached forfservice, besides a large number of residences and business rooms are lighted with gas. Natural gas is a great luxury. Petersburg people had the nerve to spend about $10,000 in experimenting. Don’t lag behind, Jasper. Waterloo, Ind., Feb. 11, 1807. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111.
