Dear Editor : Yon aC; for more information on hogchoUia and now I am goin” to tell you nay experience. I had cholern among mv hogs twice in fifteen years and each time it killed nen-ly nil of them, but it has been about fifteen year* since I have lost any hogs w itb cholera. Now. when ono of my bog* gets sick I civp it about ten dropa of carbolic *u.id lo. vhcuTiwa quarta of thick slop once every day or once every two days owing to the case, if the bog be too sick to eat I drench it with the acid making s weak solution of it by puD ting it in sweet milk. To keep my hogs in a healthy condi tion I give them spirits' of turpentine or kerosene oil all along im their slop. Copperas is also good to give them to keep i hem healthy. When my hogs get full of lice I spray them with kerosene about once a we«k until liofi i* destroyed. I also keep tlie buzzards from sittingop tree* in pasture hv shooting at them.
