PAGE EIGHT THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1931 HOG CHOLERA (Everette Gould Pres. Y. T. H. F.) Newport, Jan. 26 Hog Cholera, the mc serious disease of hogs, is found in practically all parts of the world. In this countiy it appeared first in Ohio in 1883 later spread to every state in the union. In the eouth where the temperature is more or less uniform; severe outoreaKs oi cholera may occur at any season of j the year, but statistics collected from i experiments show that the disease reaches its greatest height during the month of October and November, and reaches its lowest point during Febru ary. The value of hogs destroyed by cholera in the U. S. has amounted to about sixty-five million ($65,000,000) in a single year; and in 1924 the loss es in North Carolina alone were $44 000 out of 1,020,000 hogs. Hog cholera is caused by .. virus or germ which is present in the blood, urine, feces, and secretions of the eye of a hoe affected with this ASvaaa TVib microorganism that causes the disease has never been cultivated in laboratories as many other infectious germs have. The symptoms of hog cholera vary in different herds, as a result the dis ease has been said to exist in two forms acute and chronic. The acute is verv severe; hogs sicken and die quickly, while the chronic, hogs may be sick for weeks before they succumb. Cholera when it appears in a herd, all hogs do not become sick at once. At first only one or two re fuse to come up to feed, and remain in hed. and when driven out their backs may be arched, they appear cold and shiver. As the disease progress es the sick hogs become gaunt or tuck in the flank, and have weak stag gering gait. Some of the symptoms mentioned may be present in other diseases but the owner should remem ber that cholera spreads rapidly thru a herd and no time should be lost in calling a veterinarian to diognose the disease and administer the proper treatment. Sanitation is one very important means of controlling hog cholera. Some people are very neglectant in taking steps to avoid or control the disease and never give it a thought until it is too late. With the object of assisting the farmer to assist him self the following suggestions are of fered. Streams running through hog lots may be carriers of infection, therefore hogs confined to lots with . streams running through them should be immunized against hog cholera. Hog houses, lots, and pastures should be situated away from highways. Houses should be arranged so they can be cleaned and disinfected. They should be exposed to sunlight can en ter. Hog lots should not be used for yarding wagons and farm implements and should not be entered by teams and wagons returning from stock yards and public highways. Mud wallows and cesspools should be drain ed, filled or fenced. Hogs that do not recover quickly from cholera should be killed as they remain a con stant danger. If the hogs become sick and show any symptoms of cholera a veteri narian should be called at once to di agnose the case. If the case is pro nounced as cholera he will proceed to vaccinate with serum and virus. The serum given alone will last from thirty to ninety days, while the ser um and virus simultaneously last a life time. It is important that hogs should re ceive proper care after the treatment has been administered. Grain ra tion should be restricted to not more than two thirds the usual quantity for two weeks after simultaneous treatment. Shorts, middlings, .bran, soaked oats, crushed rye or barley are suitable feeds that may be used in formulating a proper diet. A plentiful supply of clean drinking wa ter should be accessible constantly. Sleeping quarters should be kept clean, dry, and well bedded. At the end of two weeks, if the animals are doing well, their diet may include some corn and be gradually increas ed to full feed. Mrs. Sadie Hunnings and daugh- j tobacco were sold in this state.

Women Played Part In Farm Success McDevitt is thinking about the Bible, you know darned well that they're not giving the attention they ought to be giving to this busine.-s of help ing'cut down our taxes. Don't be rought with them, Willis, but tell them that just as soon as a tax reduction program is agreed upon you'll see that their little bills are giv en due consideration. However, let them understand clearly that unless they come to some sort of an agree ment on the tax issue, they can wait until the Fourth of July comes ot. New Year's Day before you'll permit their respective bills about other' things to be brought up in the house. Peisonally, I believe that the rac coons and the squirrels will be per. fectly satisfied to wait a while.

FAMOUS YACHT MAYFLOWER i BURNED TO WATER LINE Philadelphia, Jan. 25 The May flower, famous as the presidential yacht of five American Presidents, sank tonight in 24 feet of water at her pier at the Philadelphia navy yard after fire had destroyed her. An hour before she sank flames had burned her to the water line. Then she listed and went to the bottom of the Delaware. Fire from an undetermined cause burst from the Mayflower shortly be fore 10 o'clock, an explosion tearing hatches away and sending out clouds of smoke and flame. All the fire fighting apparatus in the navy yard was sent to the scene, and virtually tvery marine and gob in the yards fought the fire with hose lines and extinguishers. The Phila delphia fire d.partment sent several engines to the yard. The Mayflower discommissioned more than a year ago, -has- been tied up at the navy yard undergoing re conditioning and repair. NEW PLAN ADOPTED FOR PAYING DEBTS New Bern, Jan. 23 More than 100 special checks are now in circulation, as a part of the chamber of commerce plan to have $10,000 paid on 1 030 bills, it was learned today from Sec retary C. Green, who has had 100 additional blank checks printed for others who want to take part in the project. Merchants endorsed the scheme last night at their regular meeting. Dr. J. R. Latham paid out the first check Tuesday and the other checks went into circulation Wednesday and yesterday. James R. Whitcomb started ten. The idea is to have each check certified for $5, then paid on an old account. The recipient is un der a moral obligation to keep the check in circulation, without cashing it, by paying it within 24 hours on a 1930 bill of his own.

Under the direction of the home demonstration folks, also, some of the state institutions have been taught the right principles of good canning and saved much of their win ter food by this means.
