Recipt for Hog Cholera.

The Lecture given at the court house last Saturday, ■ the 26th, by Professor Bitting of Purdue University, on the subject of hog cnoiera and swine plague, was certainly very interesting as well as profitable and those who failed to hear him were the loosers. While he says there is no certain cure for either of these diseases, he gave a receipt for a preventive. This medicine no doubt is perfectly safe whether given to healthy or unhealthy hogs, and as a preventative is the best that has been discovered. The following is the roceipt: • Pulverized wood charcoal ..1 lb Sodium chloride, 2 “ Sodium bicarbonate, 2 “ Sodium hyposulphide, 2 Sulphur, i “ Sodium sulphate,, 1 “ Black antimony,.. 1 “ Mix give one tablespoonful once a day in slop or feed. This preparation can be obtained at Meyer’s drug store, Rensselaer, as he has put up a large quantity from the freshest and the purest drugs.
