Hog cholera has made great inroads on the swine industry cf the south during the past few years and is destined to work still further injury unless some systematized effort be made to check its spread. The prevalence of this dis ease. has proven very discouraging to many farmers and has much to do with minimizing the development of an in dustry for which ideal conditions are found throughout the south, and which should enable every farmer not only to produce his own meat, but to have a surplus for sale in his loc^l markets, where there is always an excellent de-: mand for pork products. Hog cholera is caused by a germ. It is so small, however, that it has never been seen, even by the aid of a high power microscope. These germs like those producing other diseases are pres ent in the bodies of hogs in large num bers, and naturally are passed out of the body in the feces. The blood of hogs affected with cholera contains large numbers of these germs, and the fact that the disease is present in a virulent form is readily demonstrated jy the inoculation of a healthy hog with blood from a sick hog. In a great ma jority of cases this* will produce chol- ira and often death in a very short time. The spread of hog cholera is favored by unsanitary conditions and farmers who propose to fight this disease syste matically should recognize this condition at once. Hog lots and shelters should be kept thoroughly disinfected and free from objectionable litter and waste at all times. For instance, the wallows provided on many farms become infected and hence succeeding generations of hogs no matter how healthy are likely to succumb to this disease. The mat ter of proper sanitation in fighting this trouble can not be emphasized too strongly. This disease originates from the fact that the germs are carried from diseased animals .to healthy ones. The method of transmission may not be known but it takes place nevertheless. When grounds become infected it is dif ficult to free them from the germs, and whenever favorable conditions arise the disease, is likely to break out In a herd even though it may have appar ently remained healthy for two or three years. There are many contributing causes to the spread of this disease as, for instance, shipping animals in cars which have not been properly disinfec ted. Stray dogs and buzzards are also likely to feed on the carcasses of ani mals which have died from this trouble. As a result, they spread the disease over ever-widening areas. There are some people who regard the buzzard *n the form of a scavenger. As a matter of fact, he is a spreader of pestilence and should be destroyed on that account as quickly as possible. All animals dy- | ing with cholera should be buried deep- j ly, or better still, burned so as to de- I stroy the carcass completely. It is | very important that the water supply of the afrm be protected at its source and kept in a wholsesome condition. Streams running down through one farm from a neighboring farm are likely to carry the germs, especially if the herds: of the farms above become infected. Land owners do not seem to realize the great danger from this source, and take adequate steps to protect themselves from the infection by the method sug gested. Visitors to hog lots may also carry the disease. An outbreak of cholera may generally be recognized by the fact that there is loss of appetite, fever ranging from 103 to 150 degrees F., r***’ and purple ! spots on the skin, especially along the belly and inside the thighs, sore eyes with gummy exudations therefrom, a rough coat, weakness accentuated by a staggering gait, emaciation and rapid breath. Sometimes there is constipa tion, and at others rather violent diar rhoea. Any evidence of sickness bear- i ing these characteristics will justify i the farmer in immediately isolating the sick animals and disinfecting the quar ters occupied. The disease makes rapid | development when it once becomes well establishel in the animal, and generally | terminates in death in from five to fif teen days. For disinfecting the prem ises a solution consisting of ninety-five parts of water and five parts of pure carbolic acid and lime sufficient to show white m^y be used to advantage. The solution should be applied with a spray pump, and the walls, floors, fences, grounds and pens should be thoroughly disinfected. There are a great many cholera cures on the market but they are not reli able nor will they accomplish the claims set up foK them. Only one method of treating this disease successfully has yet been devised. This is known as the serum treatment. This is a reli able preventive of cholera and *as some curative powers as well. In this con nection it Is important to point out to the farmer that no claims nave been made as to the power of serum to cure the disease when once It has become well established. It is safe to say, however, that the serum is an insur ance against cholera, and that if farm ers would use it at the right time and in proper amount and secure the serum from a reliable source 95 per cent or their hogs could be saved. Our readers no doubt recall that the legislature of Georgia imposed the duty of manufacturing this serum for the protection of the swine owners through out the state upon the College of Ag riculture. A small appropriation for the maintenance of the work and the installation of ‘the necessary equip ment was made and the college is re quired to manufacture and distribute the serum at cost in co-operation with the state veterinarian. This work has now been in progress ror nearly a year and the price of thd^ serum has already been reduced from 2 1-2 cents per c. c. to 2 cents per c. c. During the initial year 125,000 c. c. of serum were made and distributed. The plant has now been enlarge^ so that much more serum may be made during the present year, i and just as soon as it seems practi- j cable.to reduce the cost, a further cut in price will be made. It should be borne in mind, however, that the serum sent out by the college is being pro duced under the most careful and ex acting conditions, and that It costs much more to manufacture it in this way than to send it out without a guar antee of efficiency. There is much serum on the market, as recent tests of the Federal government show, which is not reliable. Farmers can probabbly secure some serum at lower cost than indicated in this article, but they take the chance of securing something which is not effective. Naturally ,the college can not undertake to guarantee that every dose of serum will effect a cure, because it is impossible to per sonally superintend the administration of the serum, and while syringes and directions of the most elaborate charac ter ai*e sent out, farmers sometimes fail tc$ carry these out, or tney attempt to use the serum on hogs which are already so thoroughly infected with th j disease that their case is hopeless. All the serum made at the college is tested carefully beofre it is sent out and the work is under the supervision of a competent and thoroughly trained veterinarian. The serum sent out to date has proven effective. This is shown by the facts that reports from farmers who have used it indicate that nearly eighty-seven per cent, of the hogs treated recovered. Farmers who have had experience with cholera know that it will practically destroy any herd in which it becomes established. Therefore, the efficiency of the serum treatment is demonstrated by the fig ures quoted above. It takes from ten to sixty c.c. of serum to properly inoc ulate a hog. The smaller amount would be necessary for an animal weighing twenty-five to fifty pounds; the larger amount for one weighing 200 to 400 pounds. The serum if properly given should protect the hog for several months; in fact, one might say with a considerable degree of safety until ready for market. The investment re quired to protect a considerable herd of hogs for a season is not very great. If the farmer has $1,000 worth of pork on his farm and can inoculate his ani mals and protect them with a high degree of certainty from an attack of cholera. f>y the investment of $30, $40, or even $50, the cost becomes insignifi cant when the risk he runs and the value of his hog crop are taken into consideration. Georgia farmers are peculiarly fortu nate in having the state undertake to provide them with a guaranteed serum at so low a cost as Indicated above, and if they will use it to the best advantage, the hog industry will be protected from one of its worst enemies, and the busi ness of hog ranching may be carried on with success throughout the length and breadth of the state. * * * FORMULAS FOR CORN AND COTTON AND POTATOES. A. J. C., Arali, Ga., writes: My land is dark sandy loam with mulatto clay subsoil. * I have been using an 8-2-2 guano and a 10-4 acid and kainit, mix ing them together and applying from 500 to 1,000 pounds per acre, but I do not get the results that I should. I want you to give me a fertilizer for corn, cotton and sweet potatoes. We are inclined to think that the for mula you have been using on your corn and cotton in the past was not very well adapted to the type of soil on which you are farming. We judge this formula would be too low in nitrogtn to give the best results, though some what over-supplied probably with phos phoric acid and potash. On land of the type about which you write, we think you will find it well to use a formula which contains not less than three per cent of nitrogen, eight or ten per cent of phosphoric acid and four to six per cent of potash, depending on the crop grown. For cotton on this land we think you will find a 9-3-4 about right. If the cotton rusts increase the potash to five or six per cent. For corn use a 10-3-5-5; for sweet potatoes, use a 9-4-8. Any of these formulas may be prepared by mixing together in proper proportions such materials as cotton seed meal, blood, high-grade tank age, sulphate of ammonia, acid phos phate, and sulphate or muriate of pot TIME SAVED IN WATERING LIVE STOCK VALUABLE The water supply for live stock is no small consideration. On many farms valuable time is lost drawing water from a deep well by means of a pulley and rope or driving stock to a pond, lake or stream some distance from the barn. When thirty minutes per day is lost ev ery day for a month it amounts to fifteen hours* work, which is considerable ex pense if the manager’s time is worth what it should be. Convenient arrangements should be made to supply the animals quickly and conveniently. Economy requires this and good management demands it. No one likes to come in from the field on a very hot day and stand and draw water from a deep well for an hour. The best solution of the water prob lem is to install a system of farm water works for the farmstead, including the home, the barn, the pasture and the. poultry yard. The initial cost of farm waterworks need not be great and it will generally pay for Itself in a few years if one counts the time it saves in supplying water for the home and the animals. A gasoline engine may furnish the power^and the engine can be used for many other purposes, such as running a light plant, churning, grinding feed, sawing wood, running a.cream separator and dozens' of other purposes. Every progressive manager needs one. Occasionally one may be situated so that a windmill will answer temporari ly. It is cheap and fairly reliable on the plains and some other sections where the winds are strong and peri odic. But the engine can be used for so many useful purposes besides pump ing that it is almost indespensable.— Farm and Ranch.

C. f Milledgevllle, Ga., writes: I would like a good, fertilizer formula for corn, cotton, sweet and Irish pototoes. Last year I used for. corn 800 pounds acid phosphate, 1,200 pounds dotton seed meal, and 200 pounds muriate of pot ash, applying 350 pounds per acre, and later about 100 pounds of nitratd of soda. For cotton I used 1,000 pounds acid phosphate, 800 pounds cotton seed meal and 150 pounds of potash, apply ing- the same as for corn except did not use the nitrate. I do not think my yields were as good as they should be, and would like to know where I made made a mistake.’ SHEEP RAISING FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS It is admitted that sheep are about the most valuable livestock: that can be kept on the farm, and yet there are few farms in Texas where a few, even one or two sheep are 'found. Why? Well, we are run to hogs. Are hogs more profitable? No. Easier or cheap er fed? No. Better meat? No. Cleaner beast's- No. Eat more weeds? No. Bring more fertility to the soil? No. Why, then, have we run to hogs and neglected sheep? We have cultivated a taste for hog meat not that it is better than mut ton—it is not as good—but we have educated our taste for pork. We have got into the rut and we are not aware of the unconscious force of habit What we have become accustomed to comes, easy, a sort of second nature. But more than all we write up ' hog, we talk hog, we think hog, and *‘what a man thinketh so is he.” in the last issue of Farm and Ranch there are some fifteen articles, or paragraphs, or references to hogs, and a whole pol- umn of advertisements, and there are two short notes and one advertisement of sheep. That is why we don’t keep more sheep on the farm. (Farm and Ranch advocates sheep raisin^' in every issue. A special issue was recently given to sheep and goats; the hog did not fare so well. We need more hogs and more sheep and because hogs are kept is no reason why sheep should not also have a place on the farm.) of $25.00 to $40.00 per acre. It is ques tionable, however, how much benefit this treatment of the land would confer on succeeding crops. The second year after our land was treated there was no apparent difference between that which was plowed and that which was dynamited where the land was devoted to the growth of cowpeas. We are open *to conviction as to the advisability of using dynamite for breaking up faVm land, but our experience would indicate that turning the soil with large plows and subsolling when It is in the right condition for this work is cheaper and more effective than dynamiting. We would be obliged from the experience we have had to date to give preference to plowing. x Red clover, as you know, Is subject to a disease in many parts of the south which causes it to wither and die away very rapidly within a few days. Up to the time of attack by this dis ease it seems to be healthy and vigorous. It is important to secure disease-resis tant seed, yet we can not advise you as to where seed of this character can. be obtained as only a very limited amount of it is on the market. You might communicate with the Tennessee Experiment Station, at Knoxville, where the selection of this seed was under taken. Probably they can put you in touch with parties from whom you can obtain a limited amount. We believe seed .of this character would be pre ferable to that obtained frod Iowa. i Land intended for clover should be limed at the rate of two tons of the finely ground raw rock per acre. Plow the land as soon as possible and apply the lime. We would prefer to seed clover in the fall rather than in the spring. If possible, therefore, we would suggest that you devote the coming season to growing cowpeas or velvet beans, and turn them under in the fall, and then apply 800 to 1,0$* pounds of a formula containing about 9 per cent of phosphorus, 2 per cent of nitrogen and 6 to 7 per cent of potash, and sow the clover broadcast. A clover crop is hardly advisable. If you do use one, however, a very light seeding of winter oats would be preferable. Sprinkle in Garbage Cans with water The formula you used for corn last year contained approximately 158 pounds of phosphorus, 124 pounds of potash and 73 pounds of nitrogen. This formula would analyze about 3.3 per cent of ni trogen, 7 per cent of phosphoric acid and 5 per cent of potash. We think you could afford to reduce the potash some what and increase the phosphorus. Try this year a formula which will anlayze about 9 per cent of phosphorus and ash. On potatoes we would suggest about 4 per cent of potash, leaving tho the use of sulphate of potash. The for mulas mentioned should be applied at the following rates: For cotton 500 pounds; for corn 600 pounds;- for sweet potatoes 600 to 800 pounds. We would put under the drill row at the time of planting 300 to 400 pounds of fertilizer, mix it well with the subsoil, and If any yard manure can be obtained to use under the cch’n and cotton, it will be a distinct advantage. Then a side appli cation of 200 pounds per acre should be made about the middle of the grow ing season. Sometimes you will find it helpful to use nitrate of soda as a top dressing, particularly on corn. Use 100 pounds per acre and spread it alongside the drill row about two weeks before the corn bunches to tassel. The side application may be broadcasted ahead of the cultivator and worked well into the soil. We believe if you plow your land carefully and prepare a good seed bed, and then select well developed strains of corn and cotton and give good shallow cultivation throughout the growing season and use the fertil izers suggested, you will secure better results than you have obtained in the past. A basic fertilizer may be prepared by nitrogen as it was and using a top dressing of nitrate of soda as you did last year. The formula used under cotton con tained about 180 pounds of phosphorus, 4 9 pounds of available nitrogen and 91 pounds of available potash per ton. This formula contained approximately 9 per cent of phosphoric acid, 2.4 per cent of nitrogen and 4.5 per cent of potash We are inclined to think that this formula was relatively higher in phosphorus than was needed and some what lower in nitrogen than is gen erally desirable for cotton, especially as you evidently used no side applica- tio nor top dressing with nitrate of soda. We are inclined to think that for ordi nary farm lands you will find it good practice to put from 350 to 400 pounds of a formula running about 8-3-4 under cotton, and use 100 to 200 pounds as a side application. Ordinarily, it is not so desirable to use nitrate of soda a top dressing with cotton as with corn. We have had good return on the college farm here at Athens from using a 10- 3-4 under cotton. This land, however, had been improved through plowing un der green crops, and there was used along with this formula some yard ma- F. S.

Where you are in position to use yard manure you will secure a better return from heavier applications of fertilizer than will follow without the use of manure. In other words, you can use more fer tilizer to advantage on soils which con tain a fair amount of vegetable matter than on those which are deficient in this element. We see no objection to your using high-grade materials of the char acter mentioned in your letter as the sources of your fertilizer formula. We think it better possibly to replace small amount of the cotton seed meal with nitrate of soda or blood, or pos sibly use a little of both so as to put ni trogen in the soil in a moderately quickly and a rather slowly available form. * * * CONTROLLING ANTHRACNOSE IN COTTON. F. W. H., Fairmont, N. C., writes: I lost half of my cotton last year by anthracnose. Do you think it would be safe to plant the seed after treating with formalin? I have a piece of land next to where the cotton grew la3t ye r that I want to put in cotton this year. Do you think it best o leave a few rods In beween the two pieces of land, or would deep plowing in the win ter stop it? Does it get from one field to another any way besides in the seed? Where a variety of cotton is readily subject to attacks of anthracnose, it is probably best to discard its use. Treating with formaldehyde will help some, but still it may not prove effec tive, and the continued growth of this variety on your land is likely to cause serious, infestation. In this connection you should remember that If you buy fresh seed it is important to treat it with formaldehyde. You should make a special effort to stcure a variety which is largely resistant to this trouble. We would suggest when you secure a new variety and treat it with formaldehyde that you plant it on a fresh area of land and keep cotton off the infested area for several years, only planting u*ai which you have selected from seed which has proven to be resistant to the trouble, and taking care to treat it with formaldehyde as has been suggested. We find a very great difference in the disease-resisting ability of various strains. Those tested in the demonstra tion field of the college last year show ed from 2 to 20 per cent of disease. It certainly would be advisable to leave off a few rows between where you grew cotton last year and where you expect to plant It this year. The im plements used in working the cotton last year and the feet of the animals are liable to carry the spores over in to the new territory. You should disin fect all Implements very carefully with formalin before using them on land which seems to be free from this trou ble. Deep plowing In the winter will not stop anthracnose. The only way to accomplish this is to select against the the disease and use those strains which are resistant to It. It will remain in th- land for several years, as the spores are well protected from cold and can I apparently live over from one year to thn. next. * * * DYNAMITING LAND IN GEORGIA O.

Our experience with dynamiting land here on the college farm has not been highly profitable. Land treated in this way produced less than five bushels more of corn per acre than untreated land. The enst of dynamiting was quite heavy, being ^between $40.00 and $60.00 per acre. Of course, the work was done with much more care and exactness than was necessary on the average farm. A half stick of dynamite was used in each hole. The holes were bored four feet deep and were four feet apart in each direction. The boring was the most costly part of the operation.
