U. of I. Veterinarian 

 Says Vaccination Pays 



IT COSTS only a few cents to vac- 

 cinate your pigs against hog cholera, 

 America's number 1 swine killer. But 

 hog cholera losses can cost you plenty. 



Dr. M. E. Mansfield, University of 

 Illinois veterinarian, says losing one 

 hog to cholera costs as much as vaccinat- 

 ing 40 to 50 young pigs. If you lose 

 10 hogs from cholera, it will cost you 

 as much as vaccinating at least 400 pigs. 



The best time to have your swine 

 vaccinated against cholera is about two 

 weeks before weaning time. Pigs take 

 less vaccine at this age, so they're cheaper 

 to vaccinate. And it allows them to 

 recover while they're still nursing. 



The fiber made from the protein in 

 corn is known as vicara and is soft and 

 warm, moth-repellant, mildew-resistant, 

 and non-itching. It also has considerable 

 absorbency and tensile strength. Produc- 

 tion has been started by a company at 

 Taftville, Conn.

 Milk Drink Recipes 



IF you have difficulty in maintaining 

 the milk quota in family menus, why 

 not serve milk drinks occasionally.' 

 They are popular with grown-ups as 

 well as children and are fine for the 

 between-meal pick-up. 



Miss Grace Armstrong, nutritionist. 

 University of Illinois College of Agri- 

 culture, recommends eggnog. It has 

 long been a favorite milk drink and is 

 one that is packed with nutrients. 



Prepare the eggnog by mixing an 

 egg, one teaspoon of sugar, a few drops 

 of vanilla, a dash of cinnamon or nut- 

 meg, and a tall glass of milk. Modify 

 the flavor by adding malted milk or 

 canned or fresh fruit juices. 



Milk Fizz is another favorite that is 

 easy to prepare. To half a glass of 

 cold carbonated beverage, add flavor- 

 ing — honey, sweetened fruit juice, 

 chocolate syrup. Fill the glass with 

 cold whole milk, stir slowly, and serve 

 immediately. 



VOTED "THE HOG MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED" 



Proper environment and upbringing did 

 this for Oscar Hamfat. He was fed only 

 the better feeds and good pasture. He 

 was raised in a sanitary home and vacci- 

 nated against fatal hog cholera with po- 

 tent Farm Bureau Serum. Everybody ex- 

 pects him to make money for his boss.
