Stroup, Waco. 28-4p i Hog Cholera Is More Prevalent Many Fanners Failed to Im munize Herds—Incorrect Diagnoses Made. (Prepared by the t.'nIUd State* De partment ot Agriculture.) Reports received from various sec tions of the country by the United States Department of Agriculture In dicate that hog cholera Is becoming more prevalent than In any year since the decline of the last extensive out break, which reached Us height In 1914. During the spring and early sum mer isolated outbreaks appeared here j and there in various states. Owing to the comparative freedom of most states from - cholera, the expense of procuring serum, virus and veterinary service, the high price of corn and the farmers failed to have their herds im munised last spring—us a consequence there Is in the country an unusually large proportion of susceptible ani mals. Reports show that cholera has appeared recently in communities which have been free of this disease , for 20 years. In many localities it i gained considerable headway before | hog raisers realized the real nature j of the trouble. In too many Instances the disease was diagnosed as hemor- j rhaglc septicemia, Influenza, indiges tion or some other trouble than cholera. Breeders Confused. The large amount of advertising lit,* erature sent out by commercial con cerns supplying hog remedies bus had the effect of prmluclBg inufli doutt and confusion among swine grower* in regarl to the diseases of swine, and also considerable Indecision among veterinary practitioners in some sec tions in regard to diagnosis. No doubt many herds in which "breaks" oc curred this fall have been allowed ter die from hog cholera because veteri nary practitioners have been reluctant to diagnose cholera In herds which had previously received the simultane ous treatment. Bureau veterinarians who tire co-operating with the- state authorities and devoting their entire time to hog-cholera work often linve difficulty In convincing farmers that the disease from which their hogs are dying is hog cholera instead of worms, indigestion, hemorrhagic septicemia, “mixed infection," or some other dis ease concerning wfiich they had ob tained information from advertising literature. Continues Great Menace. Notwithstanding ail that has been said of other swine diseases, hog chol eru continues to be the greatest men ace to the swine industry of this country and both hog producers and veterinary practitioners should keep this in mind. , The active virus of cholera is present in the country con tinuously and it is not safe when one or more hogs in a herd get sic!: to de iuy from day to day in seeking as sistance in the hope that the condi tion may disappear. Most of the losses this fall were due to the neglect of farmers to call their veterinarians in time to administer the preventive treatment before the infection had had time tb reach all of the swine in the herd. Remember that the serum treatment is a preventive and not a cure. Unless hog owners and vet erinary practitioners are on the alert and act promptly, the losses will be unusually heavy this winter. Owners of Grade Herds Becoming Dissatisfied It is very gratifying to know that' owners of gmde dairy herds are be coming dissatisfied with the use of Just ordinary service bulls. Not only are they getting rid of scrub sires, but they are insisting that the herd bull must come from a dam with u good record. This is sound business judg ment, for the use of a good bull, even In a grade dairy, means a sure futuri increase In herd production and will pay for the added cost of a good reg istered sire many times over. Bulls coming from a line of proven ancestors should be able to increase the future production of any grade herd. Farm ers generally reulize this fact and are going in stronger every year fpr herd sires w hieli are hacked with records as well as pedigrees. Roofing Suggested for State Highways in Iowa A serio-comic purpose seems to have been behind a 1)111 in Iowa which proposed to roof the state highways. The sponsor of the bill supported it in a speech in which it was nrgued that the sun and rains of the warm months and the snow and cold of the winter months subjected the highways to such changes as made it physically impossible for them to stand the strain. It1 was suggested that the cost of the roofing wouid be less than the rebuilding of the roads. Not enough legislators were impressed and file measure died. Immense Loss of Swine From Cholera Last Year Approximately 4 per cent of the hogs on farms In'the United States died of hog cholera last year. This estimate Is made by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30. Losses were heavi est in Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Mis souri, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Minne sota and South Dakota, in the order named. Kadi of these states lost more than 100.000 head of swims from the disease duting the year.

' - CLEVELAND BANK & TRUST CO., sh(,|by. North Carolina. A GROWING BANK “Let Me Sav This to Mothers •/ Who Force Castor Oil and Calomel on Their Children*' (First of a Series of Three I nterviews with W. L. Hand.) I live in Charlotte. 1 make Liv-0 -Lax. It is used in nearly every home in ,Charlotte in place of calomel and c astor oil. Charlotte women will tell you so, will tell you how glad they are to have Liv-O-Lax. “In fact, the mothers of Charlotte were really responsible for the dis covery of Liv-O-Lax. “It happened in this way— “I was in the retail drug business for twenty-five years. Nearly every day, some woman would come into my store an dsay—‘Haven’t you some liquid remedy that I could give the children in place of calomel? I hate to give them calomel. I cannot get them to take castor oil and they can not swallow a pill.’ A Real Discovery. “This set me to thinking anS ex perimenting, but it was only after :i long period of trying out numbers »f prescriptions that looked good but always failed in some particular that I at last hit upon a mixture that dpes the work. I named it Liv-O-Lax be cause it sev/es a double purpose, re lieving congested liver and constipa tion at the same time. It is easy to take and children like it. “For several years, I made Liv-O I.ax just to fill the daily demands I have mentioned, in my own store, but when finally the reputation of Liv-O Lax spread from Charlotte into the surrounding towns and counties, I had to give up my drug store and go to manufacturing Liv-O-Lax iu a large way. What Every Mother Knows. “That’s the story of Liv-O-Lax, and I want you to try it .because I think you know that there is such a close and mysterious relation between bil iousness. constipation, indigestion and colds that, like the hen and the egg, it is hard to tell sometimes Originator V.

You know a laxa tive is needed in ail these conditions and yet the usual laxative fails, as a rule, to relieve colds and biltouaaero because it has not sufficient action on the liver. Glad to Send Samples. “You can get Liv-O-Lax at your drug store. It is not only a remedy for children, but does the same work for grown-ups. If you would like a sample bottle write me.” W. L.
