Hog Cholera
Hagenbcck - Wol'acc Circus
There Is a demand for more food to
feed our .Allies and our-elvo. That
means bigger crop and more live
stock than 'we have ever raised be
fore. The farmer can raise more live
stock by preventing and curing dls
eases in those animals which he has.
Hog cholera lias caused the loss of
millions of animals each year, at a
cost of many millions, of dollars and It.
therefore becomes our patriotic duty
to stop this awful waste.
According to the reports from the
County Assessors in W'ebstw County
hist year. l'J.SOll hot's died. Some
farmeiH claim that the serum treat,
nient for cholera bus been tho ciuso of
the lartre uiiiontit of cholera lions in
the late vear. A few figures and
facts along that line.
What is believed to'be nn indication
of tho efiic.ioiioy of the serum treat
ment in preventing losses of hogs thru
the ravages of cholera is shown by the
low death ratu of 12 1 to the l(Vo
among hogs in the L'nited ritatos In
the year ending April 1, BUS. Tills Is
the lowest death rate ninonir swine
recorded in this eountln .'5.1 yenrs,"
The reason for believing that the'
low death rate was duo to the use of
serum Is that 00 per cent of thu hog
losses are caused iy cholera.

will present an entirely now program
the last four days of tho Fair, Sep
tember 3 to G.
It will bo remembere'd that early in
the summer the Hngcnbock-Wallaco
Circus suffered a disastrous wreck
with tho loss of a great many lives.
At first it was' feared that tho loss
of life among members whoso services
could not bo replaced; Definite assur
ance lias been sent tho State Board of
Agriculture, howocr, that tho circus
will fulfill its engagement, tho loss ot
life being largely among the laborers
rather than among tho skilled acts.)
Thus the circus will come to tliQ State
Fair with a good sharo of its equip
ment now and with an entire change;
from tho program of the proceeding
year.
Besides the ciicus, it is stated,
there will bo enough othr" attractions
to require several days t. tako them
all in. Among those may ho men
tioned the Bico-Wortham Carnival,
tho largest carnival in tho business,
the Ilagonbock- Wallace Sides Shows
with their world-famou- menagerie,
tho iMid-Way Shows, Aito Bacqs om
Labor Day and Horse Paces nil othor
dnvs. This is the most costly and!
pretentious amusement progiam ever
presented at tho Fair and shouhLdraw
forth a record breaking attendance.
lent tho not nml death rate among hogs
in the past was about !i0 per 1000, iu
the lust ear meant a loss of about
U.OOo.OOO head of hogs, equivalent to
tlie cons i.nption of pork and pork
products by the entire population of
the United States In 1017 for 23 days
In 1014 the -total loss of hogs wns
7.000,000 or the equivalent of national
pork consumption in that year for
:V7 days.
