Hoj Cholera Prevention
The present prices of meat makes
it imperative that no hogs be lost by
i cholera or otherwise. The presence
should cause overyone to zealousl?
guard his herd.
I .Prevention means more In regard
to hog cholera than in any other dis
i ease of hogs.
There is only one sure prevention
Anti-Hog Cholera Serum. There are
j no sure cures, although the serum
will cure a good many sick hogs.*
By observing the following points,
infection can be reduced to a minimum
Locate hog lots away from streams
and public highways. Do not visit a
farmjthat has cholera or let anyone
from such a farm visit you.
Do not drive into your hog lots af
ter driving on the public highway.
Do not place newly purchased
stock for breeding purposes with your
herd.
Quarantine such stock for 3 weeks.
Burn or bury in quicklime all hogs
that die. And see that your neighbor
does the same. A state law requires
this.
Kill all buzzards seen around your
hog lot.
If cholera appears In your neighbor,
hood confine your dog and insist on
your neighbor doing the same.
Mange, lice and~worms lower the vi
tality of hogs and make them more sus
ceptible to disease.
When cholera gets within five miles
of you, ft is advisable to have your
hogs treated .with anti-hog cholera se
rum
Grazing Crops for Hogs
The scarcity of farm labor makes
it imperative that the Souths system
of farming be somewhat changed. No
longer will it be possible to cultivate
large areas with implements that re.
quire a maximum of man power. No
longer will it be possible to harvest
crops in the old ^tay. The trend of
prices for farm products also indi
cates that entirely different system of
farming will be advantageous. '
With implements that require less
plan power, it will not become nec
essary for any arahle land in the
Soqth to lie idle so far as cultivation
is concerned and the problem will
depend on harvesting ability of the
farm. And the harvesting abaillty of
the farm is going to depend upon the
nrmber and kind of stock.
Thero are parts of Franklin county
that are ideal for stock raising but
the average farm in the county is not
suited_to cattle raising. But it can
easily andat -a comparatively small
Tost be?made suitable ^or hogs and
sheep?more especially hogs. And It Is
the hog .?kat can. increase the harvest
ing ability of the farm mqst
It is easy to work out a system for
continuous grazing with the follow

CROPS NEED.. FQTASihJ MORE THAN EVER THIS YEAR
Agricultural authorities sgree that crops last year, particulcrly cotton and tobacco, suffered
from lack of pctas!:.. The Potash left in the ground from fonrcr fertilizing helped for a while, but
it's absence was noticeable last year ai-d will bo mare so this year. Potash in spite of its price, should
pay better than ever this year cn a-ccount of the hi^h prices of cdtton and tobacco.
FERTILIZER IS NOT HIGH, COMPARED WITH CROPS
A bale of cotton or a load of tobacco will buy more fertilizer than ever before.. We, therefore,
urge the farmer to return to Potash goods and are ready to,furnish him the old brands which were
so widely used before the war cut off the potash supply. Ammonia is now as high as potash, so
those who have been using higher percentages of ammonia to offset lack of potash can now return
to the better balanced analyses without extra expense. We particularly recommend the use .of the
following well jsnown brands, made on the old tested formulas:
. ' 3*
, Bonanza Tobacco Guano g-3 ?3
Orinoco Tobacco Guano., ???8-22-3 ^
, Marlboro BJ.gh-Grade Cotton Grower, ft?3 ?3

NEBRASKA POTASH
Have no fear about the quality of the potash. State Agricultural Department and other ex
>"?- "?Jc careful and thorough tests and pronounced the Nebraska Potash equal to, or, if any
thing, superior to the German Potash.
WE HAVE THE POTASH
But it will do youTno good if you put off ordering until too late for the overworked, congested
railroads to haul it to you.. A ton pf fertilizer on your farm is worth two in our factory. Order now.
