SHOULD BE CAREFULLY ATTENDED TO KAI.LIOH, April 2t>.—The packing plants of the west first establishes ol take care of surplus beef rapidly begau to use the hogs of that sec tion and afforded the farmers a good market through which to sell then corn at a profit. This was how the middle west became to be known as the only section where hog raising could be financially successful, aays Dr. F. D. Owen, iu charge of hog , disease eradication in North Carolina. Times are changing, lie thinks, as in dications are now that hogs can be raised just as cheaply ami marketer: just as successfully in North Caroli na as In that mythically faxored ter ritory of the plains. but there are suuie ui aw backs t» llie uidustiy cautious the inspector, 1 «uid Uie biggest of these is hog chol 1 era. He gives therefore the toliow 1 ing four suggestions about controtbug this disease and believes tluat when 1 they are put into practice, good re mnts will follow: Ist. Any animal appearing off feeu 1 should be immediately isolated, peu- 1 ning the animal in such a manner that be cannot come in contact with othei hogs, either directly, thiough »«• ciation, or iudiiectly, by means of rtui ning streams, or near highways. Ttiv is requited by the the State Live stock Sanitary laws. If the fcid U not been immuniied, suspect hog cn>. era always, until UlO trouble has been > proven to be something else. 2nd. Immediately burn to ashes, or bury under at least three feet ot earth and quick lime, the carcase 054 every ahimal that dies from any form of natural death. This is also re quired by the State Livestock Sam tary laws. The practice of hauang dead animals off to the woods or tlx; swamps, or permitting such to remain uuburicd or burned, to be picked to pieore by buxxards or by stray dogs, cannot be too strongly condemned anu owners who so dispose of their deau animals show -an utter indifference not only to the law, but to the welfare 01 their neighbors* stock, an weii a? own. old. Make immediate arrangements with your local veterinarian or s. rum administrator to vaccinate the herd. Keinember, the cost of one an imal which dies will usually be sutli cient to have paid for vaccinating; from 20 to 7b of the remaining am nials. Also bear in mind that the sc rum and virus which is used 111 >.« (-mating is a perishable product, thv> I fore very few veterinarians or serun adnduist tutors keep a supply on hand, but have to order from Raleigh 01 other places as needed, and eai h day's delay might mean the loss of one or more animals. 4th. After the disease has been sub siiled, clean up and disinfect about the premises and lots where the >ic animals have been confined. Rake up and burn ull the trash, such a> olu corn cobs or weeds; haul manure fron - , the infected hog lot to some portion of the farm inaccessible to hogs ar.d plow under at once if possible. Run. all old bedding, troughs. If poosiblr. plow up and crop for a season tin ground on which sick hogs were con fined. If not, then sprinkle lime ab out freely. Thoroughly clean and wash, then disinfect by sprinkling 01 spraying with lime and carbolic act 1 the interiors of all hog houses and shelters, and apply same to the feim posts and rails giving particular at tent ion to the corners aad the span-* | where the sick animals have been di - , posed to lie. By such prompt and energetic ac 1 tion, Dr. Owen hog chole.. , ran be brought under doee control, and the present great losses can b> 1 brought to a minimum. SERVICES AT BAKI»r CHURCH A. V.

OLD BUILDING DESTROYED BY FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN THIS MORNING Fire Had Gained C—drrabli Head way Before DetectM; Building Coiplt«ely Destroyed At 2:ls'this morning the fire alarm -ounded.
