k—CFUTIOw TWO PAGE TWO f AROUND THE FARMS] ®g|lN CHOWAN COUNTY OF By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent Sirin* Di(eases And Parasites |*re very expensive to many hog (growers in Chowan County each wear. These losses can be almost eliminated if proper hog raising i practices are followed. Hog cholera can be prevented by rigidly following a program based on isolation, sanitation and Vaccination. Newly purchased ;*Wine, regardless of their source, should be isolated in a separate enclosure away from other hogs on the premises for a period of j at least twenty-one' days. When 1 purchased, they should be im munized immediately against cholera. Swine erysipelas is a bacterial disease which may either be acute or chronic. A veterinar ian’s diagnosis is usually neces sary. Clean pastures, particular ly for pigs, and other sanitary measures are the best method of preventing the disease. Stock may also be vaccinated against. it. Brucellosis of swine is an in fectious bacterial disease. It is most generally spread by the boar at breeding time, therefore, ail boars should be tested if there is any doubt. Leptospirosis is the disease which may cause abortion or weak pigs at birth which soon die. A blood test of breeding stock can be made to detect presence of the disease. Breeding stock should be vacci nated against leptospirosis each year. Animals infected with either of these diseases should be culled out for slaughter. Transmissible gastro—enteritis 1 (T.G.E.) is an infectious, trans i missible viral disease which caus es a high mortality in pigs less than ten days of age. One case of this developed in Chowan County in the last few months causing the loss of pigs from fif teen or more brood sows before the trouble was diagnosed. While this disease will affect older ani mals it will not likely be notice-1 able and they will shortly de velop immunity to it. Sanitation is the only method of control. Sows which are thoroughly cleaned with soap and water and moved to clean premises before farrowing should prevent this trouble in pigs. Parasites are another serious problem in hog production. ; Worms of various types affect the intestines, the lungs, the kid neys, and the livers of swine causing more feed to be used per pound of gain, more time neces sary to reach market size, and oftentimes causing death of the! animals.

These problems can be prevent ed and controlled when a good i swine program is followed on the farm. Profit in growing hogs de pends entirely upon economica : production. With poor hog rais ing practices it may cost a grow er twine as much to produce a 2<M pound hog as it does one who is following a good program. Good breeding stock which pro- I duces good litters of pigs is very important. Proper farrowing fa cilities and sanitation is neces sary to cons ; stently save most of the pigs. Good clean pastures and proper feed and water are very necessary for growing and feeding hogs out. The Extension Service has bulletins and hog equipment plans available to growers. We will be glad to as sist any hog grower in working out a good swine program for his farm if he will just call us. A Well Planned Convenient Home is very important for good family living on the farm. Thur mdn Harrell, who now lives just over the line in Perquimans County, came in the other day for information on chemical control of winter grass in strawberries and requested that I come out to his place and observe the situ ation. I visited the farm on Aprl 9. After looking over the straw berry situation and telling him I would get the latest recommen -1 dation for his use, he invited me to go in and look at their newj home. I was really amazed. The! dwelling is very convenient and most attractive. In my opinion, the arrangement of the rooms is ' ideal. Cabinets, closets and oth-; er storage space have been built ] in conveniently. After I con-! gratulated them on doing such a wonderful job, they informed me that they got the plans for this ! building from me. Then I re called them coming in and look ing over our book of plans, se lecting the one they decided upon 1 and I ordered it for them from j the Extension Office in Raleigh.! Our plans are designed for rural homes. There are many differ- i ent types and sizes and available for the asking. I was also amaz ed at what the home cost the Harrells. It was just about two thirds of what I estimated when they asked me what I thought it | cost. HARRELL . CORPREW Mr. and Mrs. John H.

Tyner Scouts Guests Os N. & W. Railroad Tyner Boy Scouts and Explorer Post 154 enjoyed Saturday, AprH 4, as guests of the Norfolk and Western Railroad yards in Nor folk, Va. The tour began with the Roundhouse which is quickly be ing dismantled since Norfolk and Western railroad is gradually converting from steam engines to diesels. The Scouts saw steam engines being stripped of all moving parts and number plates ready for removal to Roanoke, Va., for scrapping. They were shown the biggest stationary steam boiler in the Norfolk area which is automatic and uses a carload of coal every 24 hours. This engine is used to heat all buildings on the yard. The boys were allowed to climb into the cab of the first success ful streamlined engine of the class “J” built at the Roanoke, Va., shop in 1941. This engine is the famous N&W “600" and has over a million miles on its speed ometer. The boys then were allowed! to inspect a diesel engine and compare the two engines. The Superintendent explained that steam engines were being re-1 placed by diesels for economy j whereas a steam engine is i brought'into the Roundhouse for oiling, greasing and general check-up every 16 hours. A die- , sel comes in for the same check- j up every six days. As a diesel j j is sent to the yards, a steam en- j 1 gine is scrapped and within a few j years there will be no steam en -1 gines or Roundhouses on the yards. j From there the boys went to j | the Lamberth Point’s coal piers j and observed the coal cars on a ramp about 75 feet high as they were being unloaded. These coal cars are hooked by means of a huge clamp and picked up by two 450 hp motors and turned | upside down to unload the coal I into a chute which goes into a ! ship. They learned that to load a medium sized ship it takes 250 ' carloads of coal which can be j unloaded in a matter of about 15 j minutes or less per carload. All| of this proved very instructive 1 as several of the boys had not I had the opportunity to view first { hand an operation that big. The following boys went on the tour: Bernard Davis, Ghas. | Davis, Jacob Jordan, Miilard Joyner, Dennis Hare. Tim White, Emmett Jones, Jr., Jimmy White, Larry Toppin, Joel Asbell, John Belch, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Jones. Mrs. Charlie Asbell and son, Charles and Mrs. C. H. Davis. !
