The Grady Pharmacy THE PENSLAR STORE Treatment of bogs sick of chol era in a general way is not very productive of good results. The serum treatment when properly administered has some curative elTec*s and has given excellent results as n preventative. It should by all means be used. If those who raise hogs will con form to tho following rules the spreading of cholera in this sec tion will be reduced to an extent that will prove profitable to all. Keep all hogs away irom pub lic highways. Do not. let them drink from a stream that flows from or through your neigbor’s pasture. It would bo more eco nomical to‘dig a well.' Do not buy any hogs or allow any men or animals to pass through your hog pasture. Bury deep or burn all animal carcasses and spray contaminated quarters With a good germacide and' insist that your neighbor do the same. Each breeder must own his own stock or breeding animal and raise his own supply. In buying breeding stock,.see that they are healthy ai d do not breed until they are mature. Piga from immature parents are *low in vitality and cannot resist disease as well as those of mature parents. The feed, lot should be kept clean and dry. Proper feeding insures thrifty animals. The lor should be provided with an inex pensive concrete wallowing vat and troughs which must be kept cleansed twice or three times a week. A supply of clean water should ke kept constantly before them. The pens should be disin fected once in two weeks. Min erals are an essential element of hogs diet and a mixture of the following should be kept before them constantly: Charcoal, air slacked lime, wood ashes and ground rock phosphate, equal parts by weight with a liberal amount of common salt. Hogs should be kept free of worms which can be done by the use of the following: Santonin 6 grains and calomel 4 grains per each hundred weight of hogs. They should be spray ed once a month to free them of lice. A good mixture for this purpose is: two parts of crude and one part of refined kerosene. These seems to be very simple thihgs but yet they are essential in stopping the already rapid spreading of cholera in this coun ty and unless some measures are taken to stop the present out break, it may prove fatal to a good percentage of your hogs. You may obtain the drugs in cluding Krcso-Dip frem your druggist. I will be glad to give any fur ther information along this line that 1 can. Respectfully, Robert Walsh. CALLED FOR TUESDAY. The farmers of Grady county Friday May 14th. will be a in., are called to meet in a mass day with the Masons of Grady MASONS 10 HABIe RALLY*-FRIDAY. meeting at the court house on Tuesday May 11 at 10:30 o’clock d. m.. for the purpose of organi zing the Grady County Livestock Association. Grady Gounty is fast becoming intensified by the presence of a live stock county. She is now shipping as many beef cattle us any county in the state. She is running Brooks a close second us a hog county. The purpose of a county live stock association is to grow more and better livestock. To estab lish a better system of marketing and to study the causes and con trol of diseases of live stock. , I do not believe there is a coun ty in Georgia better adapted to the growing of live stock than is Grady. There are running streams of pure water cn nearly every farm. Her soil is naturally adapted to the growing of pea nuts, potatoes, beans, and the grazing crops that Live stock fat ten and thrive on. There is no reason why we should not be the most happy and prosperous peo ple in Georgia. No farm is self sustaining with out live stock on it. No system of agriculture can be permanent without live stock. There is strength in union, so let’s organ ize for our own benefit and pro tection.
