FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA.
Dr. A. L. Hirleman was in Nownsn
afew days this week, anti, with Mr. J.
H. Blackwell, county demonstration
agent, was investigating the hog chol
era aituation in thin county.
Mr. Blackwell has been kept quite
busy recently treating hogs with pre
ventive serum, as many of our farmers
know.
Dr. Hirleman is employed by the U.
S. Bureau of Animal Industry, and is
working in co-operation with the State
College of Agriculture, with headquar
ters at Athens.
According to these gentlemen the
cholera was in all probability brought
to this community with a recent ship
ment of hogs from Tennessee. “All
hogs brought from outside should bo
shipped in clean and disinfected cars,
loaded from and into clean and disinfect
ed pens and loading chutes, and should
then be kept quarantined or separated
from the hogs already on the farm for
three to four weeks,” said Ur. Hirlc-
man. “It is always advisable to buy
hogs that have been given the preven
tive serum treatment prior to tship-
mont. ”
In a talk to the farmers at the
courthouse Wednesday night Ur. Hirle-
man emphasized these points: That
much can be done in the fight against
hog cholera by good care, good feed,
good housing, and sanitary surround
ings: that the serum alone, rr single
treatment, will only give temporary pro
tection from .Til to 90 days, and on this
account it should not be used until chol
era is in the herd or in the immediate
vicinity, as the serum i« too expensive
to justify its use every few weeks in
order to keep cholera out of the herd.
Other means, such as those mentioned
above—good care, feed, housing and
sanitation - being cheaper, and thus
keeping the serum us a last resort. If,
after using these precautions, cholera
gels into the herd, use serum, and use
it immediately. If used as soon as the
first symptoms appear 95 per cent, of
the herd can be saved. If the d'senas
is allowed to run several days before
using the serum the loss will be much
heavier."
Remember, there is no cure for hog
cholera. The serum is not a cure, but
a preventive. It is, therefore, plain to
all that to expect good results from se
rum it must be used at the very begin
ning of the disease. Inorder to do this
every hog raiser should ucquaint him
self with the method of administering
serum and treat his own hogs when
necessary, thus avoiding delay at a time
when delay means dollars and cents to
the hog owner.
Dr. Hirleman and Demonstration
Agent Blackwell visited Welcome Tues
day night and spoke to about 250 people
ahmg the lines of hog cholera prevention
and farm demonstration work. They
also inspected six herds of hogs and
treated about 125 with the serum.
"The Herald cannot stress too strong
ly the importance of acting quickly when
this disease appears," Mr. Blackwell
says, “and I will gladly co-operate with
the farmers of the county in helping to
stamp it out."
HOW HOES HE EXPLAIN IT!
Last year, when Hon. Thus. W. Hard
wick was making his canvass for the
Senate, he urged as one of the reasons
why he should be elected the fHCt or
what he alleged to be a fact—that he
was in full sympathy and touch with
President Wilson.
Recent events in the Senate are not
easily reconciled with this claim. When
the Republicans combined against the
passage of the ship purchase bill and
defeated thot measure by a filibuster
which went beyond the record of all
previous performances, Mr. Hardwick
alligned himself with them and helped
with ull his might to prevent the pas
sage of the bill; and yet it was ceitatn-
iy an Administration measure.
It thus appears that the very first
time the junior Senator from Georgia
had an opportunity tosupport the policy
of the President, he opposed and helped
to defeat a bill that a majority of his
constituents favored, and which Presi
dent Wilson was exceedingly anxious to
see pissed,
D is up to Mr. Hardwick to explain
the difference between his ante and
post election attitude towards the Ad
ministration. Of course, he has an ex
planation; he is too good a politician not
to have one. But whether that explana
tion will satisfy the people of Georgia
is another matter.
Men's political memories are not al
ways as short as candidates think they
are.
That Germany means to do all she
can to cripple the power and commerce
of England and the allies is self-evident.
That she will sink some of the enemies'
ships is beyond doubt. But that she
can seriously injure the shipping of
Great Britain is another and very dif
ferent matter. With the folly that haB
characterized her course since the be
ginning of the great war, and before,
she may succeed in embittering and
even embroiling one or more of the neu
tral nations—especially the United
States—is more than a possibility
That she will succeed in sinking any
considerable number of vessels flying
the flag of her foes is not hardly prob
able. The English are much disposed
to regard the whole effort in the light
of a bluff, and they have some reason
to think this way.
Dallas New Era: “The life of an
editor was saved recently by a silver
dollar in his pocket. A crank shot at
hi m and the ball struck the dollar. Now,
should we happen to get shot before
you pay your subscription and there is
no dollar to stop the ball, we shall al
ways presume you might have saved
our life.”

A Wonderful Healinu Influence in
Kidney Troubles.
A >ear and a half ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trouble
that pained me to such an extent that
morphine had to be given me. Was at-
tot ded by a doctor who pronounced it
as stone in the bladder and prescribed
1 .ithin Water. 1 took Lithia Water and
Tablets for some time and received no
relief from them. 1 stopped taking
medicines for some time. Later, hav
ing some Swamp-Rool in the house, 1
decided to try it, and felt much re
lieved. While taking the second bottle
1 commenced to pass gravel in urine
until 1 had passed at least half a dozen
or more, and have not suffered the
slightest since and have in all taken
one bottle and a half and feel very
grateful to Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly.

RHEUMATISM IS
SLOW POISONING
because the entire system
becomes permeated with
injurious acids.
To relieve rheumatism Scott’s
Emulsion is a double help; it is
rich in blood-food;» it imparts
strength to the functions and sup
plies the very oil-food that rheu
matic conditions always need.
Scott’s Emulsion has
helped countless thousands
when other remedies failed.

A merchant who had been traveling
for some months was informed upon his
return of the death of a valued frieud.
A few days later he called on the be

of sympathy. During the visit he re
marked:
“I was a very good friend of your
late husband. Is there not something
of his which I could have as a memento
of him?"
She raised her velvet brown eyes,

moist with tears, and said:
"How would I do?"
