Many Hogs Dying
With Colera
Reports are coining from all
parts of the country of hogs
dying with the colera. Already
quite a number have died and
many more are reported sick
The disease does not seem to be
confined to any locality but is
■scattered throughout the coun
try have been troubled with it to
any great extent and it was
hoped that it had been stamped
out. but its appearance in many
localities recently shows that
such is not the case and that
heroic measures must be
adopted to eradicate it. The
only successful way yet dis
covered to prevent the disease
and save (the hogs is by vaccina
tion. No^ie of the hogs which
have beeA yaccinated have died.
Wnile Motley's hogs were dying
with the cholera D. M. Richard
non put into the pen with them
one of his hogs which had pre-
viously been vaccinated and it
suffered no harm. Of course it
is a little expensive but if it
saves the hogs it is well wortli
the money.
Every farmer whose hogs
have not been vaccipated should
be most careful with them. The
colera gj£ms have wonderful
vitality. They are carried in the
water and by dogs, pigions and
other birds. Mady cases are
known where they have teen
carried on the shoes of men
going from an infected pen. Like
Typhoid germs, the colera germ
is eaten by the hogs. Every
pigeon which comes on ths plact
should be killed. All stray dogs
should be kept away. Hogs
from other pens should not be
brought in until it is certain that
they are free from the disease,
tiogs should not have access to
running water nor should they
be permitted to go where germs
have been carried. All hogs
that die with the disease should
be burned. When they are
buried there is always a possibil-
ity of the carcass being dug up
by dogs or other animals and of
the disease germs' being scat
tered abroad. Finally, all hogs
should be vaccinated as soon as
possible

Soudan Grass Good
Forage Crop
In planning for next yean
crop, Harmon County farmers
should not forget Soudan grass
It is said to be one of the most
remarkable forage plants yet in-
troduced into our country
Coming from the parched plains
of Soudan it is truly wonder-
ful in its ability to resist
drouths. It is said to be much
more frolific than Johnson grass
and to make hay equally as good
It has none of the disadvantag
es possessed by Johnson grass
since it does not come from the
roots and must be planted every
year.
Heretofore the seed has
been scarce and very lex-
pensive selling at $1.00 to $2.00
per pound. It has been raised
on the plains of Texas for sev-1
eral years where a number of
farmers have made fortunes]
$rom the seed; as it is said to
produce from 200to 400 pound?
of seed per acre.
No doubt the seed will be
more plentiful and less expen-
sive this year but arrangement
should be made to secure at
lepst a small supply as scon as
possibe.
