Pleasant and adjoining townships convened at the court house Saturday afternoon to hear the university men talk and to organize an anti-hog cholera club. The speakers were a little late getting in from a 10 o’clock meeting in Hudson township; but the crowd was patient, and listened with eagerness to all that was said. Prof. ~ Ginriche, the assistant in the manu- facture of hog cholera serum, made the first talk; he was followed by Dr. J. W. Connaway, the discoverer of the hog cholera serum. He went in- to the methods of eradicating hog cholera, and held to the view that ap-- propriations by the state and nation were made to eradicate the disease where prevalent and affecting whole communities or sections, and not for the purpose of curing the herd of any individual citizen. ‘Indeed, he intimat- ed, that a lot of fruitless work had been done and much money spent out of line with the purposes of the law. He claimed that it would be easy to stamp out the disease in a given com- munity or county, or state, if the farmers would organize and cooper- ate in doing the things necessary to eliminate the disease. He discussed the methods to be followed by the farmers, advising the use of a segre- gation pen, the application of air slacked lime, and the burning of all carcasses, no matter what the cause of death. He urged that every farm- er notify his neighbor promptly, when- ever he had a sick hog and that dogs and birds, even his neighbor’s, be kept out of the hog lots as much as possible, in order that the germs bé not carried from one farm to another. He maintained that other diseases, such as pneumonia, often prevailed along with-cholera proper, and that the symptoms of cholera differed so that the diagnosis was sometimes dif- ficult; and that even post mortem ‘ex- amination showed different condi- tions. He did not advocate what is known as simultaneous vaccination. Dr. Connaway was followed by Prof. J. T. Simpson, assistant profes- sor of animal husbandry, in a talk for organization, after which the Mt. Pleasant Township Club was organ- ized with C. H. Argenbright as presi- dent and W. H. Deweese ‘as secre- tary. This was the 20th club organ- ized in the county during the week, and the presidents and secretaries of the other clubs present as delegates proceeded to organize a Central Coun- ty Club by the election of C. H. Ar- genbright president and Jesse E. Smith secretary and treasurer. The organization of clubs will be . continued until there is one in each school district. The meeting adjourned to Argen- bright’s feed yard where Prof. M. J. Hurley ‘“‘demonstrated’’ by killing and carving up a live sick hog. The interest in this performance was in- tense; and the crowd asked questions and received polite answers and sat- isfactory explanations. This particu- lar hog had both pneumonia and cholera, the evidences of both being unmistakable. Prof. Hurley will return here the latter part of the week for an indefi- nite stay and will have a desk in the Probate office, where he may be found by any of our farmers. His services will be free. Both the national and state govern- ments are pouring out money to eradicate hog cholera, foot and mouth disease, and other contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and blackleg; and surely the farmers should coop- erate in every possible way; so that the millions of dollars lost every year may be saved. The meat problem is becoming acute, and the general gov- ernment is promoting an increased production in every legitimate way. But it is up to the every day farmer to conquer and eradicate these con- tagious diseases, even with the assist- ance of the best and latest scientific knowledge on the subject. Will be held at the court house in the Probate Court room every Sun- day morning at 11 o’clock. All are cordially invited. Subject ~ — “Soul and Body.” Wool underwear, Black & Arnold.
