Hog cholera is most prevalent at this season of the year, and 

 the department offers the following suggestions to those who are 

 interested in combating the disease : 



TO KEEP HOG CHOLERA OUT OF THE HERD. 



1. Locate your hog lots and pastures away from streams and 

 public highways, and (lo not allow the hogs to run free range. 



2. Do not visit your neighbor or allow him to visit you, if 

 either of you have hog cholera on your premises. 



3. Do not drive into hog lots when returning from market or 

 after driving on jniblic highways. 



4. Do not use hog lots for yarding wagons and farm imple- 

 ments. 



5i. Do not ])]ace ncwly-jnirchased stock, stock secured or 

 loaned for l)reeding purposes, or stock exhibited at county fairs 

 with your herd. Keep such stock quarantined at least two weeks, 

 and use care to ])revent carrying infection from these to other 

 pens in feeding and attending stock. 



6. lUirn to ashes or cover with (|uicklime and bury imder four 

 feet of earth all dead animals and tlie viscera removed from ani- 

 mals at butchering time. They attract the attention of buzzards, 

 dogs, etc.. which are liable to carry hog clu)lera infection.
