on farms where the hogs originated.
Hog mange damages the dressed
carcasses and results in price losses.
When the skin is injured by mange
mites, the grade, together with the
value of the carcass, is lowered. In
advanced cases, valuable cuts are
damaged and can be used only as
trimmings.
The specialists point out that
there are two kinds of hog mange.
The common type does most of the
damage. In this, the mites burrow
into the skin, first around the head
and neck and spread from there,
causing inflamation and swelling of
the skin tissues. The skin becomes
thickened and develops wrinkles and
folds. As the infection is contagious,
it spreads rapidly in a herd when
i4iogs are closely confined.
This mange responds readily to
treatment on the farm. Dipping in a
! medicated bath is the most thorough
I method of killing the mange mites.
j Treated animals should then be mov-'
ed to clean quarters or the Lold en-
closures should be thoroughly cleaned I
of all litter and disinfected.
The other form of hog 'mange is
caused by a different parasite. There
is no known cure for it, but it spreads
rapidly and its effect on animals is
less severe than common mange. The!
best way to get rid of the infection is
to dispose of the affected animals
and disinfect the quarters. j

Because of the sacrifices of Amer
ican youths and their willingness to
serve, an American Christmas is
again possible. Without their efforts
Christmas this year would be of small
importance.
It is fitting and appropriate that
we remember them at this glad season
of the year. At the same time re

who ho. w also made tremendous sacri
fices m order that the American way
of life may be maintained.
We wish you all the best possible.

As the
of the Year
The season to which we have been looking forward has arrived
and with it the happy experiences of renewing old acquaintances and
the opportunity of expressing our feeling of friendship to those whom
we serve.
jjp It's not a normal season, to be sure. But it remains for those of
6 us at home to maintain the true spirit of Christmas that those who are
in distant points may eventually return to the normal American way
f life.
