INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERUM TREATMENT OF HOG CHOLERA Two Methods of giving Serum to Head Ofl Ravaging Disease Animals Should Be Kept Twenty-tour Hours In Dry Place Both Before and A ter Injection. (By J. H. Gain. Department of Animal Pathology, University of Nebraska.) HOG cholera Is more widespread Oft the corn belt than for a number of yeara and the de mands for hog cholera serum have fairly Fwamped both the state nd commercial plants engaged in Its production. In using the hog cholera serum there are several important features to consider, the most important being that unless the hogs recefving the aerum an- at n I tpOMd to cholera nutting about 10 c. c. (cubic centl Metert) in n place The Ikla at the point of injection should be rolled be tween the thumb and finger to prevent leakage. Il.avy hogs can IM put into a crate and tli injection made aloni; the abdomen and between the bind legs, wherever the skin is loose. Should small abscesses form at the point of injection, they should be opened freely to allow drainage, ft Is important that the hogs be NEBRASKA HOG CHOLERA BRUM PLANT. tbe protection lasts for only three or four weoUs, when they will again be susceptible to the disease This means that it is important to know first whether genuine cholera exists before sending for the serum. If a qualified veterinarian is obtainable, hae him kill a sick pig and make a post mortem. In actttc cholera the kidneys show small dark colored spots. In some cases so numerous as to give rise to the t?rm "turkey egg" kidney. The lungs and intestines may also show small bright red spots.

Give only to the hogs ap parently Well in the herd and leave tliem Th the infected yards so that they may be exposed to the disease. The dose ef serum as ordinarily used is 20 c c. (cubic ccntimetei ) pei 100 ounds of hog, but in a viru lent outbreak or in a valuable pure bred herd this should be increased to 25 or 30 c. c. per 10 pounds.

WINTER DAIRYING. Ry I II. Ki Hudson, Professor or Dairy Husbandry. There are many advantages in hav hip cows come fresh in the winter. When all da'ry prodert ; s'dl at a hieh price Here in Nebraska the price of butter Is fully 50 per cent higher In the winter than In the summer. When the cows calve in the spring they generally milk well until the pas tures "dry up." when the flow of milk quickly falls off. so that by the time stable feeds begin the cows are al most "dried up." Now, if the cows come fresh in the fall the. produce a good flow of milk during the winter months, and in the spring when they are turned on grass this acts as a second freshening, and thus lengthen! the period of milk production An other dtgftfnet advantage In winter dairying Is that during this season the farmer is ne.t so busy with other work, consequently he can give, more time to the care of the cows, the . milk and the crenn than is possible during the bnsv season of the year. When winter dairying becomes more general ly practiced the subject of winter feeds will be given more attention Of these, silage Is one of the KIOSl Ik portent, since one acre or good silage material will yield as pinch fe4 as three acres of pasture. COMMUNITY BREEDING Ry .1 H. K'andsoit, ProfgfMOf of Pafff Ffuebnndi It is highly desirable not only that each dairymsn stkL -iuiiu breed, but that a community, so far as possible, should favor a particular breed if nearly all the breeds a-e represented in a sparsely settled 'im munity it means thnt there are net many or one breed, and. as a result, whenever new blood is desired for a heid it is necessary to send away, t o qu ntly long distances, to secure what is desired Another distinct adven tate or community breeding, ospeeia! ly where tbe herds are small, is that the fanners of a community can joint .v purchase the sire and use h'u for their herds The cost of pur iadng and Maintaining a gcod, pure bred sire will in ibis way be reduced to a nrnimum The further advantage to a distrbt or locality in sticking to one breed is that the demand fbl that particular bread may he supplied in carTHad lots, ;.ud in hK way tbe dis trict will gradially work up a reputa tion that will reattHy enable it to d;s nose of nnv Stirpinj stock In a great measure tbe sur-eass of our Botoyeaa friends is due to the fact that they have, as a country, been faithful to nd developed that particular breed .'Well seem d most Sellable to their environment. By .1. H. Frandson, Professor of Dairy Husbandry. Sanitary milk is milk from healthy cows, produced and handled under ronditlonn in which contamination from filth, bad odors and bacteria Is reduced to a minimum. The produc tion of clean and healthful milk Is the most Important subject with which the dairyman has to deal. Even frOtt pn economic standpoint the dairyman cannot afford to Ignore the Importance ef producing a pure and healthful ar ticle, for we find that milk produced ntnder absolutely sanitary conditions selling for practically double the ordi nary price. Needless to say. for the production of san'tary milk the dairy man must have healthy cows, sanitary barns, clean bedding and dust free air, clean barnyard, clean cows, clean and healthy milkers, clean milk vessels, and pure water. He must feed clean, wholesome feeds, must have a sanitary milk room and abundant facilities for the cooling milk and cream. Hut no matter how good the condl tlon of the milk when delivered, if It Is carelfssly handled in the home, the milk or cream may quickly become un fit for food The fact that vast quan tities of good milk have been spoiled in the home by improper treatment prompts the writer to emphasize some or the points regarding care of milk and cream in the home. Few consumers have a good knowl edge of milk and consequently do not know how to properly care for it. Milk and cream readily absorbs odors, and collects bacteria and other Impur ities whenever they are exposed to the air, or placed In utensils that are not scrupulously dean If this fact is generally understood it can easily be seen why it is so object ional to stoi c milk uncovered in refrigerators or cel lars, where it comes in contact Witt vegetable or other rood products pos sessinn strong odors. As milk is a perfect food for human beings, so it is also a perfect medium for the devel opment of certain bacteria which may gain accesB to it from the dust laden p.lr, flies and unclean utensils. Some of these ba' teria may be the germs or contagious disorders; others may cause digestive disorders, especially in infants ;md young children whose diet is largely milk. Experiments have shown that nan germs which may gain access to the milk develop eery rapidly while the milk remain:-, w arm. Iry this we mean a lemperatnre above 60 deg. F. Wat instance, milk kept at 45 deg. F. may be kept perfectly sweet ror twenty four hours, while ir kept at a temper store or 7o deg. F. it may sour in less than six hours. This should amp I size the Importance of low temp na tural In the preservation of milk and cream. The following brief rules should en able the consumer to properly can for the milk so as to have an article at all times sweet and wholesome: , 1. If poseible Insist on getting the milk in a bottle or other originally ealed package. Milk dipped out of a can in tba street likely means that large numbers of bacteria from the air tnav have fallen into it 2. Money or tickets should not be placed In the milk receptacles as th. germs cllnemg to these might thus gain access to the milk. 3. Neve- allow the milk to stand in a warm place for any length or time but place as soon as possible In re frigerntor, Ice box or other cool, clean place 4. Keep hs t!:ii. or cream in the origin; ! package y!il needed for use 5. Carefully ipe the mouth of the bottle before pouring milk or cream Irom it. fi Do not pour back into the bottle any milk which has been egaood to the nf 7. Keep the bottle covered with paper can oi Inverted tunable as ion? cs any milk lemalns In it. X. Do not expose uncovered milk in refrigerator containing strong smell ing foods !. Wash milk bottles as soon as empty and do not use milk utensil' for sny other purpose. 10. Wash milk bottles in pure water and do eel wipe with dish towel. It is better t" siaid them in dean water and set away unwiped to dry. 11. Special precautions should be taken with the baby's milk bottles. They should be rinsed in lukewarm water, washed i" hot water contain Ing a little soda and then scalded. In alesging a feeding bottle, choose one wiib wide mouth and no corners Never use rubber tube between bottle and nipple. 12 In i as of (ontagious diseases In the house, such as typhoid, scarlet fever or diphtheria, return no milk bottles to the milkman without the pei mission of tin health officer.
