The 1895 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association, now ready for distribution, contains many facts that will surprise the breeders of Berkshire swine who have not posted themselves concerning the numerous breeding herds recently established and the wide extension of territory east, west, north and south. The 1895 Year Book shows that in the number of brood sows composing the herds of the breeders of Berkshire swine, that the states are entitled to precedence in the order named below’ The per cent. of increase in the number of brood sows in 1895, as compared with the herds reported in the 1894 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association, is given in the figures set opposite the names of the respective states: PO ne PIGS SO ats Ares ous aye she xtete tage erat o Ne Seana hs chiens Sees ee Ree increase 28 per cent.

The BERKSHIRE YEAR Book is published for the purpose of furnishing information to the thousands of parties who make inquiry annually concern- ing the herds, sales and prize records of the breeders of Berkshire Swine. The BERKSHIRE YEAR Book for 1895 contains a list of the names and numbers of the boars and sows sold during the past year, and the names of _ the purchasers as reported and shown by the transfer records in the office of the American Berkshire Association. The list of the names of the recorded boars and sows awarded first or sweepstakes prizes in 1894, at duly organized County, State or Provincial Fairs is published in said Year Book, se far as reported. The Berry prize essay on the Berkshire Hog, published in this Volume, will be read with great interest by the breeders of swine. Mr. C. Fred Bosh- art, the author of the prize essay, is entitled to the hearty thanks of the breeders of Berkshire swine for this able paper, and unprejudiced readers will fully endorse the claims made therein for the Berkshire Hog. Items of especial interest to the breeders, contributed by the most promi- nent and successful breeders of Berkshire Swine, constitute one of the leading features of the BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. The paper on the Diseases of the Pig contained in this Volume reflects much credit upon Dr. McIntosh, who has demonstrated in the paper the claims of leading veterinarians that he is an eminent authority on such matters. The BERKSHIRE YEAR Book contains the best obtainable methods for curing and cooking pork products, salting, smoking hams, bacon, making sausage, etc,; also receipts for rendering lard, seasoning sausage, and the various ways of cooking and serving all kinds of pork products for the table. Attention is invited to the index published in the appendix of this volume, 4 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. RULES OF ENTRY IN THE AMERICAN BERKSHIRE ASSOCIATION, 1. Applications must be made upon blanks furnished by the Secretary and should be signed by the breeder and present owner of the animal. 2. Every animal admitted to registry shall be recorded in the name of the party owning the dam at the time the animal was farrowed. 3. ae eae ee = ee ee 185 Indiana; SGaterWaar. ccc cs Aires he onrceb bona: Bele tye, coe ante ib shale ticle tele a eee eee 46 Owe) Stabe waar coe eae Coane Mae loses ees iar ettea inva acleleast tee a ere arene te a en ee 109 Dilinois State Wai oF ee fo pee oe ls trot his loan ale Softee ee oe ena 25 Mota es. oe hs es We IR Paras w ede ed Seek Sale ate toe Ate Ee ees eee 425 The successful contestant was awarded twenty-four first prizes, twenty- one second prizes, two third prizes and seven sweepstakes prizes. ‘ In the rings in which first prizes were awarded the party entitled to the Gold Medal, the number of entries averaged six, and in the rings in which second prizes were awarded, the number of entries averaged within a fraction of seven. It is generally conceded that the best imported and home-bred Berkshires exhibited in 1894 were shown at the four State Fairs named above. No higher compliment can be paid the Berkshires composing the Gold Medal herd than the announcement of the fact that in competition with the best home and foreign-bred stock at four of the leading State Fairs of 1894, the highest score was made by W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska. The commictee therefore take great pleasure in awarding the Gold Meda of the American Berkshire Association to Mr, W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska! \¢ PROLIFIC BERKSHIRES. 11 PROLIFIC BERKSHIRES. Premium of One Hundred Dollars, Offered by W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., A to Mr. Reuben Gentry, of Danville, Ky. : ste as Mr. Spicer, in making the announcement of his liberal premium for the purpose of developing facts concerning the prolific breediug qualities of the Berkshires, speaks as follows: The undersigned claims for the Berkshire breed that the sows are prolific breeders ¢ that early maturity and profit In feeding are marked charactcristics of Mie piped while tae superior excellence in the quality of the pork of a Berkshire is unquestioned. Asan advocate of the claim that the large breed of Berkshires meets all the demands of the breeder and feeder of swine for profit, and the wants of the most critical packer and con- sumer of pork products for incomparable quality, the following premium is offered for the Berkshire sow whose litter of pigs exceeds in weight at one hundred days afler farrow that of any her competitors.” That Mr. Spicer was fully advised as to the truth of his claim is clearly demonstrated in the report of the committee awarding said premium, which is as follows: To the American Berkshire Association : The undersigned, to whom was referred the entries and other papers filed by the contestants for the very liberal special premium offered by Mr. W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Nebraska, for the Berkshire sow whose litter of pigs ex- ceeds in weight at one hundred days after farrow, beg leave to report that eight breeders filed entries for said premium. The undersigned has duly considered the following conditions provided for said competition: CONDITIONS. First--The competing animals must be recorded in the American Berkshire Record and be the property of the competitor. k Second--That early notice of intention to compete for said premium must be filed with the Secretary of the American Berkshire Association, Col. Charles F. Mills, Springfield, Ill. Third--That three disinterested and reputable parties shall weigh the sow and pigs one hundred days after farrow, and that said parties shall certify to the weight of the sow and each of the pigs in said litter. | Fourth--That each competitor shall file with his entry a statement of the method of feeding and caring for the sow prior to farrow, and the attention and character of rations siven sow and pigs from date of farrow until the expiration of the one hundred days’ test. Fifth—The above premium is offered for the purpose of developing data of the greatest value to swine breeders, and while the exact weight of food used during the one hundred days’ test is not required, competitors are earnestly requested to keep accurate account of the weight and report each kind of food consumed daily by the sow and her litter of pigs during the continuance of the test. _ The lack of completion of the entries of several prominent breeders and yery succeeful feeders, has made it necessary to exclude their applications tor the competition. A number of entries of sows with spring litters of pigs had advantage of the season over the gentleman awarded the prize, who has demonstrated the oft repeated claim that the Berkshire is not only prolific, but that the pigs are healthy, and make profitable growth under conditions that may prevail on every farm. The litter of pigs awarded the premium was out of the sow Lucille 34443, and sired by Elmwood Chief 34441, and owned by Reuben Gentry, of Danville, Ky. Said litter was farrowed November 8, 1894, and con- sisted of ten pigs. The papers were filed by Richard Cobb, Jr., W. H. Lillard and James G. Gastmean, of Danville, Kentucky, certify that on February 16, 189%, the sow weighed 335 pounds, and the ten pigs weighed 545 pounds. Mr. Gentry states that the sow and pigs were never kept in a house, but were provided with a good bed and allowed the range of a field containing about twelve acres. The sow and pigs wrre fed ground wheat and ground corn cooked, and shelled corn. Breeders who have experienced the difficulties involved in saving a litter of ten pigs, and making a gain on said pigs of 545 pounds during the months of November, December, January and February, will esteem it a privilege to extend congratulations to Mr. Reuben Gentry, the successful contestant for the Spicer prize referred to above. Respectfully submitted, ' D. W, SMITH, Committee, 12 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. BERRY’S PRIZE ESSAY. The breeders of Berkshire Swine are under many obligations to Hon. Geo. W.

The intention of this paper on the Diseases of the Pig is to give to the swine growers and farmers a concise description of the ailments which affect the pig of this country. The need of a work on the diseases of the pig which could be distributed among the farmers as a safe guide in the treatment and management of slight ailments, as well as serious illnesses, has been long felt. It con- tains all the practical experience collected for a period of twenty- five years, with all the latest remedies, and is written in a style which is easily understood, the technicalities being left out as much as possible, and is intended as a guide to the farmer. The writer is a man of great practical experience, and of scientific knowledge of all the diseases of the domestic animals, and there is no doubt but that this work will be of inestimable value to the swine growers and farmers throughout the country. This standard work was prepared by Dr. Donald McIntosh, graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, and Professor of Veter- inary Science, University of Illinois.

The difficulty in administering medicine to the pig and attending to the nursing of it is one of the drawbacks, Medicine has been usually given in the food, and when the animal is in condition to eat and can be separated from the others this method is very convenient; but putting medicine in food where there are a number of hogs feeding together cannot be done satisfactorily. In cases where it is necessary to give medicine by the mouth the patient struggles so much that it often does more harm than good. When medicine has to be given to hogs it is best to give it in the food if they will eat it. If there are a number to be treated each one should have its own allowance, When it is necessary to give it by the mouth a piecse of rubber hose should be put on to the neck of the bottle containing the medicine and tied firmly. The hog is to be then cast and secured either by being held or by tying. Then open the mouth with a piece of wood, introduce the rubber hose and pour the medicine slowly down. This is the satest and best way to administer medicine to swine. DISEASES OF THE MOUTH. Aptha.—This is a vesicular eruption of the mouth caused by the acci- dental introduction of acrid plants into it or it may depend on a constitu- tional state, the eruption being one of nature’s ways to rid the system of some deleterious material which is lodged in it. Symptoms: There will be a dribbling of saliva from the mouth and the animal will have difficulty in eat- ing and may let it drop out again. On examining the mouth there will be a number of white vesicles seen on the lip and sides of the mouth or tongue. Treatment: Find the cause if possible. If it is caused by the animal getting or eating some irritating substance, dissolve half an ounce of alum in a pint of cold water and inject or pour a little of this into the mouth three times a day. Feed on soft food for a few days. If it is caused by a deranged condition of the system, dissolve from one to two ounces epson salts in half a pint of cold water and give at one dose, and wash with the above lotion. If ulcers should be present touch them with nitrate of silver. In two days after using the silver apply a little of the alum lotion to heal the sores, Inflamation of Mouth and Tongue.—This is not often seen in the pig. It is sometimes cansed by the animal getting medicine in too concentrated a form, such as turpentine and ammonia. I have seen a few cases in which no cause could be found. The symptoms are pain, redness, heat, and swell- 24 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. ing. The animal is unable to swallow and there is a constant dropping of saliva from the mouth. The tongue may be protruded, giving the animal a very peculiar and anxious expression. Sometimes the epithelium (lining of the tongue) peels off, leaving a raw sore. In some cases the tongue swells to such a size as to cause suffocation. Treatment: If the pig can swallow give it one to two ounces epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water. This will cool the system and assist in reducing the inflammation. Mix half an ounce acetate of lead, two ounces tincture of arnica in one quart of water; shake this well and dip in a sponge or piece of soft muslin and press it into the animal’s mouth; then draw it out again and repeat several times. Do this every two hours until the swelling is removed. If the tongue be- comes sore use a little of the alum. A very good remedy for sore tongue is vinegar four ounces, honey four ounces, acetate of zinch one drachm. CHAPTER II. DISEASES OF THE STOMACH, Indigestion.—The pig, like all other animals, is subject to derangements of the stomach, If it is kept too long on one kind of food, the animal be- gins to lose its appetite, is dull and soon loses flesh, and may suffer from in- digestion or diarrhoea. It is therefore necessary in order to keep a hog in good health to give it a mixed diet or a change occasionally. There are a number of diseases that originate from a faulty digestion; a cough in pigs is often caused from it, also fevers, etc. When a pig is off its food without any noticeable disease being present, it is always wise to give it a dose of physic, as in the great majority of cases a dose of physic to ciean out the stomach and bowels will usually prevent serious trouble. One to two ounces epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water, or if there is any tendency to diarrhea, from one to two ounces of castor oil will be found useful. In cases of impaired appetite in hogs a teaspoonful each of tincture chloride of icon, gentian, and ginger given three times a day in a little water will be found to be an excellent remedy after the physic has operated. Gastritis Inflammation of the stomach is not a common disease in the pig, and is not often seen unless the animal has gotten some irritant sub- stance, such as a poison, and sometimes by indigestible food. The symptoms are vomiting, great pain, the pig is very restless, moving about from one place to another, and squealing, refuses food, but may be thirsty. If the cause can be found treat accordingiy. If the animal is poisoned by an alkaline sub- stance give vinegar. If by acids give alkalies, such as bicarbonate of soda, whitewash, chalk, etc., then give flaxseed tea, oil, or barley water, and from twenty to twenty-five drops of laudanum every two or three hours. If it is from indigestion give a duose of castor oil, follow this by giving flaxseed tea or gum arabic dissolved in water. After the physic operates give twenty-five drops of tincture of Opium or two grains of powdered opium. If there is persistent vomiting give from ten to twenty drops of a two per cent. solution of prussic acid in a little water. We have little benefit from external treat- ment in the hog. A blister such as good strong mustard may be rubbed over the stomach. When the animal becomes convalescent feed on oatmeal and milk for a week or two. Meat Brine—Salt in moderate quantities promotes digestion and the gen- eral health of the animal; but in too large quantities it deranges the stomach and bowels, causing the formation of gas in the stomach and bowels, diarrhcea, vertigo, convulsions, and paralysis and death in from eight to twenty-four hours. The mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels are found after death, highly injected and inflamed, and in some cases the brain is congested. If a pig should get too much brine or salt in any way, it is best to give it an emetic. A tablespoonful of mustard rubbed up in half a pint of warm water will answer the purpose. Then give two grains of opium in a little sweet oil or melted lard every two hours, to relieve the pain, If the animal is thirsty DISEASES OF THE PIG. 25 give it water in which barley, slippery elm bark or gum arabic has been put. This will assist in relieving the pain and inflammation. If there is severe diarrhoea add five grains of acetate of lead to the opium. If there are con- vulsions give half an ounce bromide of potassium every two hours in a little water until relieved. In paralysis give one teaspoonful each of spirits of nitric ether and aromatic spirits of ammonia in half a glass of cold water every two hours until better. If there should be constipation give two ounces castor oil. CHAPTER III. DISEASES OF THE INTESTINES, Constipation.Sows and young pigs that have been too highly fed are often liable to constipation. Symptoms: The feces, if passed, are dry and hard; the pig strains and may pass a few hard pieces. The appetite soon be- comes impaired and the animal is dull. When this is noticed give a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, and change the food to soft, easily digested materials, such as hot bran mashes mixed with linseed tea. In severe cases it will be necessary to give the animal injections of warm water and soap. Charcoal is of use in promoting digestion. oe pigs should be looked after, especially if they are getting skimmed milk. Boiled flaxseed mixed with skimmed milk is very nutritious and will prevent constipation. Diarrhaa.—Y oung pigs that are sucking and those lately weaned are lia- bie to darrhoea; older hogs are seldom attacked with scours. The principal causes of dirrhcea are an insuflicient supply, or poverty of the milk which is given by the sow, improper food, irregular feeding, cold and damp styes, and sudden changes of temperature; green food given to sows with litters, when they have been too long deprived of it, not intrequently causes the complaint. If this disease is not checked it may cause inflammation of the bowels and severe prostration, ending in death. The excrements of the affected animal are of a whitish color. If the animal should be suffering from a cold or any other weakening disease the chances of recovery will be considerably dimin- ished. When the young sucking pigs are affected with this disease the sow should be shut up in a comfortable dry place and fed upon dry corn for a few days with sweet skimmed milk, and if the young pigs are old enough to eat they should get boiled bread and milk with a heaping teaspoonful of pre- pared chalk three times a day. If this does not check it give ten to twenty drops of tincture of opium, two teaspoonfuls of tincture of catechu, and a teaspoonful Of tincture of ginger in a little water three times a day, Tf this does not succeed give one grain of powdered opium and five grains of acetate of lead in a little starch gruel three times a day. These doses are for pigs six weeks old; for very young pigs, half the quantity; for adult pigs, twice the above. A’ common remedy and one that is sometimes useful, is to mix soot with the food. It will do no harm if it does not cure. ENTERITIS, (INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS.) This is a very fatal disease in all animals, especially in the pig. Causes: Colds, injuries, irritating substances in the food, obstinate constipation and diarrhea. Symptoms: A pig affected with this disease refuses food, is thirsty, has a dull appearance abont the eyes, the mouth is dry and of a purplish red color, and the skin of a white pig will also be red. Generally the animal is weak, costive and flatulent, it remains in the stye or will be found lying in some corner. If the animal moves it will groan with pain. The temperature will be elevated to one hundred and four or one hundred and five, and the pulse one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty beats per minute; the animal breathes fast and is in great distress. If it is not relieved in a few days it will likely die. Treatment: In the early stages tincture of acon- ite in five to eight drop doses, in a little water is useful. Give one to two ounces epsom salts to clean out the intestines and deplete the system, After 26 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. the physic has operated give two to three grains of powdered opium in a little linseed tea, barley or rice water; this should be given three or four times a day. Rub the belly with mustard made up with hot water, once a day for a day or two. Keep in a warm, dry place, and give all the cold water the ani- mal will drink. WORMS. There are several varieties of worms which infest the pig. The most common one is the large round worm called echinorhynchus gigas, a parasite which propagates rapidly, and produces serious disturbance of the bowels of young pigs. The pin-worm (Cascarides) and the tape worm (tenis) are oc- casionally associated with the large round worm, causing weakness of the loins, and a stiffness of the hind legs. The animal has a ravenous appetite, but fails to put on flesh. The pigs grunt, cry incessantly, and have a ten- dency to bite each other. The animal is subject to much irritation, and will rub itself against anything that comes in its way. The skin is tense, and in some cases it may crack. The faces are hard, eyes sunken, and the mem- brane of the mouth pallid. Debility increases, and the pig may die from ex- haustion. Treatment: For the large round worm give from three to four grains of santonin for a full grown pig, and one to two grains for small pigs. This should be given in the evening and morning for three days on an empty stomach, then give two ounces castor oil as a physic. Another good remedy is to give two teaspoonfuls of turpentine in four ounces of linseed oil, on an empty stomach. Sulphur in tablespoonfuls twice a day in the food or wood ashes will sometimes remove the worms, and may be tried. For pin-worms infuse one ounce of quassia chips in a pint of boiling water. Inject water to clean out the. bowel, then inject the infusion. One application is usually sufficient, but if not, repeat in one week. The tape-worm is best expelled by giving from fifteen grains to one dram of areca-nut in a little milk, or zreca- nut one dram, fluid extract of the male shield fern one dram, for au adult hog, one-half for a six month old pig, and a fourth for a pig of five or six weeks old. Follow this in twelve hours by two ounces castor oil. or any other physic. There is a very slender white worm which is sometimes found in the intestines of the hog, and in some cases it will burrow into the walls of the intestine, setting up inflammation or the formation of pustules. These worms when numerous are very dangerous; they are best gotten rid of by giving two teaspoonfuls of the fluid extract of spigelia and fluid extracce of senna at a dose for the adult hog. Repeat in a week if necessary. All worm medicines should be given on an empty stomach. Kidney Worm,—Live worms have been found in the kidneys of both the hog and the dog. I have found these worms in the kidneys ot healthy pigs that were slaughtered for food, apparently doing no harm. The loss of power of the hind parts of pigs, which has been attributed to kidney worms, is not due to the kidney worm, but to paralysis of the muscles. I have carefully investigated such cases by making post mortem examinations of paralyzed pigs, supposed to be affected by kidney worm, but failed to find any. There are no symptoms by which we can detect them. Some say they have found the eggs of the worms in the urine o! the pig. If such is the case they could be detected in that manner, INVERSION OF THE RECTUM. This is an accident which occurs frequently, in the hog, caused by vio- lent straining from constipation or diarrhcea or from an injury, or anything which causes a weakening of the muscles of the bowels, and it not having sufficient strength to be able to retract the protruded bowel. When it is ex- posed to the air it soon swells and becomes dark in color, and from its in- creased size it is sometimes with difficulty returned. Treatment: Bathe the protruded bowel with warm water for ten minutes to clean it thoroughly, then bathe it for ten minutes more with a little of the following: Acetate of lead two drams, tincture of opium one ounce, water one pint. Then turn the pig on its back and push the bowel into its place with the fingers, and give the pig two grains of opium to prevent straining. It will be necessary DISEASES OF THE PIa. 27 in some cases to put in one stitch of catgut across the opening to keep it from slipping out. The animal should have a dose of castor oil, and be fed for a few days on oat meal gruel and milk. In cases where it is impossible to return it, or if it should be in a state of mortification, it will be necessary to remove it with the knife, and sew the gut to the margin of the anus with catgut or silk. Some cases of this kind do well. HEMORRHOIDS (PILES.) Occasionally we find a case of piles in pigs, usually caused from corsti- pation. Symptoms: The animal is stiff in its hind parts and has a disin- clination to move its hind legs, both in standing and lying. The feces are dry and tinged with blood. In some cases there is fever when the animal refuses its food, the nose is dry and the pulse is full and hard, and the breath- ing is fast and labored, and there is an anxious look and sunken eyes. In such case where there is no external appearance of the piles the finger should be introduced and if piles is the cause of the trouble they can be easily felt, as tumors inside the gut, and gentle pressure makes them bleed, the part will be hot and painful to the touch. Treatment: There is no remedy that has been so successful as to give a full dose of aloes, as this medicine acts on the large intestines; and as it causes a great pouring out of secretions it relieves the congestion which is the cause of the piles. This medicine has been condemned by some practicioners; nevertheless experience has proven it to be an excellent remedy. Give from fifteen to twenty grains of aloes made up into a pill and give is at a dose to the adult hog; smaller doses for young ones. Inject cold water into the rectum to clean it out and also to assist in relieving the congestion. Then inject tannic acid ten grains, water one ounce. After the physic operates freely and a few injections of the cold water and tannic acid solution have been used the piles will disappear. HERNIA (RUPTURE ) Umbilical Hernia.—(Rupture at the Navel Cord.) This is caused by a nonclosure of the part soon after birth or from the opening being unnatur- ally large. Symptoms: There will be a bunch at the navel opening, soft to the touch and at times it will be larger. The animal does not, in the ma- jority of cases, suffer any inconvenience from it unless it becomes larger or strangulated. Treatment: Turn the pig on its back and push the intestine in, then pass a skewer through the skin over the opening close to the muscles of the belly, (a skewer is easily made by taking a small piece of wire and making it sharp on one end so that it will go through the skin) then tie a string around the skin between the skewer and the muscles of the belly and draw it tight enough to cause the stoppage of the circulation, but not so tight as to cause quick sloughing. If it does not slough off in a week tie on another string a little tighter. ‘This will cause adhesive inflammation of the part and close the opening. I have operated on a number in this way with the best results. bony Scrotal Hernia.—_(This rupture is in the Scrotum or Pouch.) The canal leading from the cavity of the abdomen to the pouch containing the testicles is sometimes large, allowing the intestine to pass into the pouch, this form- ing a rupture. It can take place only in the male animal. Symptoms: There is an increase of size of pouch and it will feel soft and dougy. Place the animal on its back and press the intestines into the abdominal cavity, then divide the outside skin of the pouch and draw out the testicles as far ag possible and put on a wooden clamp without any caustic being put on it serve the other one in the same way, then remove the testicles with the knife, The clamp inclosing the inside coverings will prevent the bowels from pro- truding. Let the clamps remain on until they slough off, and by this time the part beneath the clamp will have healed. If the part should swell much bathe it with a lotion made by putting half an ounce of acetate of lead to the quart of water. Do this several times a day. Keep the hog in a clean place until well. 28 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. CHAPTER IV. DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS, Simple catarrh or common cold usually affects the membrane lining the nasal chambers and sometimes extends to the eyes. Causes: Exposure to cold, or to alternations of temperature and damp wet beds. Symptoms: It is indicated by sneezing, redness and dryness of the membrane of the nose, followed by a discharge, at first thin, then becoming thick. If the inflamma- tion extends to the back part of the mouth or throat there will be a slight cough. In some cases it affects the eyes, causing the eyelids to swell, fol- lowed by a copious flow of tears. Treatment: The animal should be placed in a comfortable dry place and get hot bran mashes with a spoonful of ground ginger in them. This is usually all the treatment necessary. If the discharge should continue beyond two weeks there is danger of its becoming chronic. In this case give the pig ten grains sulphate of iron in its food twice daily for a few weeks. A little tar mixed in the food is also useful. Malignant Catarrh.—This disease affecting hogs somewhat resembles glanders in the horse and it is not common in this country, and when it advances to the second stage it will be better to destroy the pig and thus prevent it spreading to other hogs than to attempt a cure. Symptoms: There is considerable discharge from the nose and eyes. The eyelids are swollen and the animal keeps as much as possible in the dark. The disease extends gradually to the back part of the mouth and throat causing swelling of the mucous membrane, thus causing a cough, with difficulty in breathing. The nose becomes thick and ill-shaped,the discharge becomes more and more like blood, the animal has considerable fever, the breathing is increased in frequency, the beat of the heart is feeble and fast, there is great thirst, in some cases the animal may eat food, but it loses flesh rapidly, the feces are black and hard, the urine high colored. If the disease is not checked the animal either dies from suffocation or it pines away. Treatment: Give a dose of castor oil, one to two ounees. Follow this by giving five to eight drops nitro-hydrochloric acid three times a day in oatmeal gruel. Bathe the head and face with ace- tate of lead half an ounce, water one quart. If the cough is troublesome give fifteen to twenty drops of tincture of opium in a spoonful of water and rub mustard made up with hot water on the throat. Quinsy of the Pig—This disease is characterized by sore throat and by the appearance of a swelling on the sides of the neck at the angle of the lower jaws and sometimes extending between its wings. When the swelling is large it presses on the larynx (upper part of the wind-pipe) causing difficult breathing, and in some cases there is a tendency to‘suffocation, This is a local disease and usually yields to treatment. Give the pig all the cold water it will drink, put half a dram of chloride of ammonium to the quart of water. Bathe the swollen neck with hot water for half an honr three times a.day and rub on a little camphorated liniment after each bathing. In a few days the animal usually gets better. There is a malignant form of this disease which is very contagious, called “gangrenous angina.” This disease differs from the other in being constitutional and difficult to treat. Symptoms: Dull- ness, stiff gait, loss of appetite, fever, followed by difficult breathing, gasping for breath, cough, swelling of the tongue, difficulty in swallowing, and symp- toms of suffocation. There is a hard inflammatory swelling on the outside of the wind-pipe extending down to the fore leg. After a few days the lining membrane of the mouth may slough off, and there is great tendency to gan- grene, and it may prove fatal in from one to three days. In cutting into the swoilen parts after death there is an extensive exudation of blood, lymph, and mor- tified tissue. The organs of the body are generally dark colored from the accumu-, lation of dark blood in the vessels. The treatment in this disorder is to give, in the early stage, potassio-tartrate of antimony four grains, ipecacuanha six grains, white hellebore six grains, mix and give in a little food or throw into the mouth. Give from one to two ounces of castor oi]. Blister the swelling with cantharides two drachms, lard one ounce, and if the swelling does not go DISEASES OF THE PIa. 29 down inject into different parts of the swelling a little carbolic lotion, strength one drachm to half a pint of water. Blankets wrung out of boiling water and put around the neck is sometimes useful. One drachm of chlorate of potas- sium should be put in the drinking water to be used during the day. All the well hogs should be removed to some distance and each hog given half a drachm of hyposulphite of*soda in their food or drinking water for one week. LARYNGITIS AND PHARYNGITIS (SORE THROAT), This is a very common disease among all animals, The causes of sore throat are changes from heat to cold, or from a very cold place to one which is hot and not well ventilated. Pigs being driven for some distance and heat- ed and allowed to cool off too suddenly, are liable to be affected with sore throat. Symptoms: There will be a difficulty in swallowing food or water, hard dry cough, loss of appe ite, and there will be a rough sound heard when the animal breathes. There is seldom any swelling on the outside of the throat, and it can be easily distinguished from quinsy or malignant sore throat on this account. ‘There will be a dribbling of saliva from the mouth. This disease readily yields to treatment. Mix two drachms of chlorate of potassium and one drachm of fluid extract of belladonna ina pint of cold water and give the pig two tablespoonfuls of this three times a day, and rub mustard made up with hot water on the throat once a day for a few days, Allow the ani- mal plenty of clean, cold water to drink and any kind of food it will eat. If the bowels are constipated give injections of soap and water. If this is not effectual give one ounce of castor oil. If the cough is severe give from ten to twenty-five drops of tincture of opium, according to the size of hog; three or four times a day until it is relieved. CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS. When pigs are fat they have not much breathing space left and stand fast movements very badly, and when pigs in this condition have to be driven, especially if the day is warm, as soon as any of them show signs of fatigue it should be rested for a short time and be given a drink of water, or a pail of water should be thrown over it. The davger is of causing congestion of the lungs, which is nearly always fatal. It is also caused from cold and badly ventilated styes, such as are found in towns sometimes, Symptoms: The ani- mal is in great distress; if the pig is standing its head will hang and its fore legs will be wide apart and its flanks heaving at the rate of one hundred per minute. The mouth is wide open, the eyes are blood-shot, the heart beats tumultuously, and there may be a discharge of blood from the nose. The pig usually soon becomes unable to stand and lies down on its belly and breast ~ with its nose resting on the ground. The legs are cold and the mouth hot. If the animal is made to rise it will only grunt, but in the majority of cases it will not rise. Treatment: In the early stages give one drachm of aromatic spirits of ammonia and one drachm of spirits of nitric ether in two table- spoonfuls of cold water, and repeat in bad cases in half an hour, and so on until the animal is relieved. If the body is cold it should be covered. Hot whisky or brandy, in two tablespoonful doses, may be given if the above is not at hand. If this disease is not soon relieved it will either kill the pig or turn into inflammation of the lungs. PNEUMONIA (INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS). This disease attacks all kinds of animals, but there are none of them in which it is so fatal as in the hog. Especially is this the case if it is not at- tended to at once, Causes of pneumonia: Congestion of the lungs, if not re- lieved, will cause it; exposure to cold, confined in badly ventilated styes. It is sometimes the result of other diseases. Symptoms: Pneumonia is usually ushered in witha chill followed by fever, difficult breathing, cough, and if the animal is made to move it will show signs of pain, may squeal. Occasionally’ the characteristic symptoms of the disease are preceded for some days by gen- eral uneasiness, dullness, loss of appetite, and more or less fever. When the yer a 30 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. disease is established the breathing will be fast, increased from sixteen to twenty per minute, which is the natnral breathing, to between forty and fifty and sometimes sixty per minute. The pulse will increase from seventy to eighty, which is the natural pulse of the pig, to one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty per minute and full. The pulse of the pig is easiest felt on the fore leg below the knee. There is a cough, more or less, from the beginning to the end, and it is sometimes very distress ng and continuous, At first it is dry; after a few days it becomes softer and not so distressing. About this period the animal will cough up some vescid matter and occa- sionally it will be mixed with blood. The bowels are usually confined and the urine scanty and high colored. As the disease advances, if the fever abates, the animal rests quieter and may take a little food; the cough is less frequent and soft, the number of respirations are less frequent; the chances are good for the animal’s recovery. On the other hand, if the fever persists and the animal is very restless, the temperature, which in the early stage would be one hundred and three to one hundred and four, will increase to one hundred and five to one hundred and six or seven, and the matter the animal coughs up is of a red rusty color, the eyes sunken, and great weak- ness, the animal will die. Treatment: To be of any use the pig should be attended to in the first stage of the disease. If the animal is fat give it a small dose, one half to one ounce epsom salts. Follow this by giving half a grain of calomel, a quarter of a grain of epecacuanha, and half a grain of opium every four hours, made into a pill or in two tablespoonfuls of milk or gruel. This should be continued for two or three days. If the ani- mal should show signs of increase of saliva in the mouth then stop giving this medicine. The sides should be rubbed with turpentine and raw linseed oil, equal parts, and a bandage applied. Repeat this on the second day if necessary. In the early stages, if the temperature and pulse are up to one hundred and four or higher, give two to three drops fluid extract of veratrum viride in a spoonful of cold water every three hours until the temperature and pulse are lowered. In the second stage give twenty to forty drops of the compound syrup of squills in a little syrup three times daily. In the advanced stages from one to two teaspoonfuls of turpentine in a tablespoonful of sweet oil is recommended. Keep the animal in a comfortable place, and if it is cold cover it with warm blankets and give it all the cold water it will drink and any kind of food it will eat. PLEURISY. This is an inflammation of the lining of the chest and may extend to the covering of the lungs. There is no more frequent inflammatory disease of animals than pleurisy. I believe that it often takes place without being recognized in hogs, as I have noticed in a number of pigs that have been slaughtered for food and in those which have died from disease, that there was visible signs of adhesion of the pleura found, showing that the animal had had an attack of pleurisy and had gotten over it. Causes of pleurisy: Cold, wet weather in the fall, or the pigs having wet beds. Animals which are subject to rheumatism are often attacked with this disease. It is a very serlous disease in some seasons, and numbers of pigs die from it, and its true nature has not been known. Symptoms: This disease commences usu- ally with a chill and sharp pain in the side, which often makes the pig walk lame on the fore leg of the affected side or stiff when both sides are attacked. There is a short spasmodic cough causing much distress. The breathing is fast and short and the pulse is hard and fast. In examining the pig on pres- sure of the ribs of the affected side or sides the animal will evince pain. It is not easy to make physical examinations of pigs, as they will squeal on the slightest pressure, sometimes when nothing is the matter with them. If it is a severe case there will be an elevation of the temperature with con- siderable fever, the animal will refuse its food, grunt with pain, be very restless, moving about or lying on its belly. When a case of this kind is seen and the absence of other diseases we may expect that it is a case of pleurisy. If the acute symptoms are not soon relieved there will be a pour- ing out of fluid (serum) into the cavity of the chest, and if the quantity is great it will cause suffocation and death. In other cases there may be only DISEASES OF THE Pia. 31 adhesions and the animal recover. Treatment: In the early stage give from twenty to forty drops of the fluid extract of veratrum viride in a little water every three hours until the pulse and fever are reduced. If there is much pain and troublesome cough give two to twenty-five drops of tincture of opium three or four times a day in a little water until the cough is relieved. If the animal is constipated give one ounce epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water. Give a ten-grain dose of nitrate of potassium in a little water once a day to keep the kidneys active. In the second stages of the disease advantage is obtained by giving from eight to ten grains of iodide of potassium twice a day in a little water. Also give from twenty to forty drops of syrup of iodide of iron. If there is much jerking of the heart give from five to fifteen drops of the tincture of digitalis three times a day in a little water. Put.a blister of Spanish fly on the side or sides. When the animal is convalescent give mild tonics, such as cod liver oil, in doses of from half to a tablespoonful; of the fluid extract of wild cherry in drachm doses three times a day. Give the hog any kind of food it will eat. | Cough—Cough in pigs may arise from several causes: irritation of the throat, pneumonia, congestion, pleurisy, indigestion and worms. Find the cause if possible and treat as directed for the diseases mentioned. Hogs will sometimes be troubled with cough and to all appearance be in good health. Such a cough is likely caused by an irritation of the throat not sufficient to cause the animal to be sick. A number of hogs may be coughing at the same time if it is from throat irritation. See that the pigs have good, warm dry beds and give each hog one to two teaspoonfuls of sulphur mixed with two tablespoonfuls of syrup in a little food twice a day for a few days. Sometimes a physic of epsom salts, one to two ounces dissolved in half a pint of water, will remove a cough, and if the animal seems to be in good health I think the physic is an excellent remedy. If the cough is very troublesome give a teaspoonful of the compound syrup of squills twice a day for a few days. This will usually relieve the cough. Also rubbing a little mustard on the throat once a day for a few days will often be useful. CHAPTER V. DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Epilepsy.—Epilepsy is characterized by paroxysmal attacks of convul- sions, with loss of sensibility and consciousness, withfever.—(Wood.) This is a common disease among young hogs and usually passes off by the time they are nine months old. It is caused by a deranged condition of the nervous system not well understood. Symptoms: In hogs the first thing noticed is an unsteady gait, the legs seeming to overlap each other, twisting of the muscles of the face, champing of the jaws, followed by loss of consciousness, falling to the ground. In slight cases the convulsive movements after the animal comes to the ground are of a transient nature and very feeble and may be confined to one limb or to the muscles of the face. The animal will lie on the ground for a few minutes or it may be only for a few seconds, then getting up and moving off as if nothing had happened. In other cases the animal may be dull and sick for a few hours or even a day or two. In some few cases the convulsions are so severe that the head is thrown back- wards and forwards and the whole body is distorted into a variety of shapes. The muscles of respiration and the heart are acted upon, sometimes causing death.’ Treatment: When the spasms are on no medicine can be given, the dashing of cold water over the animal’s body will sometimes stop the con- vulsions. After the attack has passed off or between attacks a dose of physic—two or three drops of croton vil dropped into the mouth or on the tongue—is very useful. It is supposed to be caused sometimes by worms. If such is the case give the medicine recommended for worms. Bromide of potassium given in one or two drachm doses in the food twice a day is good. In older cases five drops of Fowler’s solution of arsenic given twice a day in food and continued for several weeks often cures, 32 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. Chorea.—This disease affects a muscie or muscles in some part of the body, causing it to jerk involuntary. This disease does not do any»particular harm to the hog, and medicine seems to have very little effect on it, and I do not consider it is necessary to try any treatment in the hog. Paralysis.—This is a common disease of the pig, usually affecting the hind part. It usually makes its appearance suddenly, although in some few cases it may come on gradually, and does not cause any sickness or loss of appetite. The pig is sure to be weak on its hind parts and very soon it is unable to stand aud if made to move will drag its hind legs after it. The causes of this trouble are not understood and by some it was thought to be kidney worms, but such is not the case. Treatment: Give the pig one ounce castor oil and one drop croton oil at a dose. Follow this by giving eight to ten grains of iodide of potassium at a dose twice a day in the drinking water or food for a week. This will cause the absorption of any effusion that may have taken place in the nerve sheath if any. At the end of a week if the animal is not better give it twenty to twenty five drops tincture of nux vomica in a little water twice a day aud continue it for three weeks if neces- sary. Rub the back and loins once a day with a little compound soap lini- ment. PALPITATION OF THE HEART. SPASMS OF THE DIAPHRAM, (THUMPS.) This derangement is frequently seen in pigs, and it is not very easy to ascertain exactly whether it is spasms of the diaphram or nervous palpitation of the heart. This disease is caused by some irritation of the nervous sys- tem, affecting either the heart or diaphram, or in some cases probably both. Symptoms: The pig is seen to stand and its body is jerked forwards and backwards every second or so; in some cases it is very slight, and in others it is violent, and a sound is heard as if some one were striking inside the hog with a hammer, causing the whole body to shake. I have caught the hog so affected to try and find whether it was the heart’s action or the dia- phram that was affected, but the animal struggled so that an examination could not be satisfactorily made. It is not of much importance which part is affected, as the treatment is the same in both cases. Treatment: Give a dose of physic, salts or castor oil; follow this by giving ten to fifteen drops of the tincture of digitalis and fifteen to twenty drops of tincture of opium every three hours in a little water. In severe cases the dose can be increased or given oftener. ‘This disease is usually curable. HEART DISEASE. Disease of the heart is of very rare occurrence in the hog, on account of the great majority being sent to the market by the time they are one year old, and diseases of this organ have not had time to develop. Although I have had no well marked cases of this in the hog, and very little has been written on the subject, yet I have no doubt but that some of the sudden deaths which sometimes take place in pigs are due to some form of heart trouble. The animal is usually in such apparent good health up to the time of death that no warning is given, and it is only after making a post mortem examination that the true nature of the disease is discovered. TETANUS (LOCK JAW). Tetanus is powerful and painful spasms of the voluntary muscles, the superficial muscles, such as those of the face, neck, back and legs first, then involving the deep-seated muscles, especially the muscles of respiration, caus- ing painful and difficult breathing. Causes: Injuries, cold, wet beds, and it appears at times without any apparent cause. It has been reported that hogs which ate the flesh of a horse which died of tetanus contracted the disease. This requires more confirmation, as I have known of a number of cases in which both the hog and dog devoured the careass of horses which died from this disease without producing any ill effect on them. Symptoms: The animal is noticed to champ its jaws and froth at the mouth; the muscles of the face soon become so contracted that the animal cannot move them, The nose is DISEASES OF THE Pia. 33 elevated and the membrane of the eyes drawn over them. By degrees the animal becomes stiff all over, and if made to move or excited the contraction will be increased and may throw the animal over. The tail is elevated, and in some cases the back is bent downwards. In some cases the animal is una- ble to swallow liquids, caused by spasms of the pharynx. Soon the muscles of respiration become affected and the animal dies. The principal symptom is the locking of the jaws. This disease seldom attacks the pig. Treatment: The only successful treatment in lock-jaw is to give the pig one ounce of the bromide of potassium dissolved in a pint of cold water; or if the animal can suck gruel put the medicine in it. This should be repeated every two hours until the muscles relax. The only difficulty is in getting the medicine down, as in some cases the animal cannot swallow. There are a number of other medicines recommended, but I have tested them all without success; but the bromide of potassium will cure it if we can only succeed in getting enough of it into the animal. CHAPTER VI. DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS. This is by no means a common disease in swine. I have seen only two well marked cases of it, one in an old boar and the other in a young pig, the result of an injury. Causes: Cold rains, or cold water dropping on the back for a long time, injuries and sometimes kidney worms. It has been reported that it was caused by the feeding of brewers’ grains and distillery slops. This, like heart disease, is most often found in middle or old age, seldom in the young, and is therefore seldom seen in the pig. Nephritis (Inflammation of the Kidneys). Causes: Injuries, cold rains, cold water dropping on the loins for a length of time, feeding on brewers’ grains and distillery slops, kidney worms, etc. Symptoms: The animal is stiff in its hind parts, pain in the loins if the animal is made to move, or if slight pressure is brought to bear on the loins the animal will squeal. There is loss of appetite and high fever, fast pulse, rapid breathing and elevated temperature. The animal is restless, and a few drops of very highly colored urine will be passed at short intervals. In a few days, if the animal is not relieved, it will become very weak, staggering on its legs, especially the hind ones, the fever increases, and the brain becomes affected from the blood being poisoned by ureic salts not being eliminated from it, thus causing uremic poisoning. The stomach often becomes affected, causing vomiting, and there will be a strong smell of urine. Treatment: Give a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, dissolved in half a pint of cold water. If the stomach is irritable, give three to four grains of calomel and one grain of opium every two hours till three doses are taken. This combination has often the effect of quieting the stomach, so that it will retain salts. When the fever is very high, give from three to five drops of tincture of aconite in a little water every two hours until the fever is reduced. If there is much pain, one to two grains of opium should be given. The animal should be enecour- aged to drink all the cold water possible; barley and rice water may also be given with the bottle. Sometimes sixty drops of tincture of opium, mixed with linseed tea, 4nd given as an injection, is very useful. Apply mustard poultices to the loins. When the acute symptoms are passed, give a teaspoon- ful of spirits of nitrous ether and a teaspoonful of fluid extract of buchu three times a day in a little water. If the heart is irritable, and there is great suppression of urine, bathe the loins with hot water, and saturate a piece of flannel with tincture of digitalis and lay it over them, or give from one to three drops of the fluid extract of digitalis in a little water three or four times a day. When the animal becomes convalescent, give it a teaspoonful of tincture of chloride of iron twice daily in a little syrup. Give the pig any- thing it will eat, 34 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOoK. CHAPTER VII. ANTHRAX OF THE PIG, There are a number of diseases that come under this head and all are car- bunecular in nature; that is, it is a constitutional fever at first affecting the finer tissues of the body and finally locating on some particular part, causing either large swellings or pustules on the part affected, and if there is a ten- dency to this disease prevailing, swine are sure to come in for a large share of it, A number of investigators consider it is caused by the presence and effects of bacillis, which is called by them “Bacillis Anthracis.” If such is the case there would be no use of giving the affected animal any medicine, because it requires stronger medicine to destroy the bacillis than it does to destroy the finer tissues of the body. Thus the patient would be destroyed instead of the bacillis. On the other hand it is thought that when an animal becomes diseased it is in a condition favorable for the development of the bacillis; that is, that the diseased surfaces and tissue form breeding grounds for them and that they develop very rapidly. If this is the case ‘they are not the cause, but the result of difease. Why this disease started and why it stops has not been explained satisfactorily. Apthous Fever.—This form of anthrax commences with loss of appetite, uneasiness, trembling, anxious and staring look, hot mouth, and an increased flow of saliva. Fever developes rapidly, and early in the attack eruptions appear on the membrane of the mouth. They are not numerous, but large, often the size of a bean, and considerable inflammation around the seat of the vesicles, which are themselves at first white, then become brown or black. When they burst the tissue beneath sloughs rapidly and there is considerable footer from the breath ‘There is usually a foul-smelling diarrhoea mixed with blood, followed by great prostration. The animals die in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours from the beginning of the attack. Treatment: Give from ten to fifteen drops of the oil of gaultkeria in a tablespoonful of syrup, sweet oil or solution of gum arabic three or four times a day. Wash the mouth several times a day with _paroxide of hydrogen (fifteen volumes) mixed in two parts of water. I have had good results from this form of treatment. Neck Anthrax—The early symptoms of this form of anthrax are the same as the foregoing one. This one is characterized by an eruption of small boils, Which appear on the back of the neck and over the parotid glands be- low the ear. The bristles on the affected part stand erect, they are dry artd stiff and if they are pulled the pig suffers great pain. The skin is discolored, usually of a purplish tint. There is loss of appetite, great thirst, and grind- ing of teeth. The mouth becomes very hot and clammy. There may be a free discharge of saliva. In some cases the breathing is oppressed and there is a difliculty in swallowing. The affected part occasionally sloughs, ery- sipelas sets in, and the animal usually dies on the third day or it may live to the ninth or tenth day. Treatment in the early stage: Give one to two ounces epsom salts to clean out the bowels and cool the system. Then give five to ten drops of the strong nitro-muriatic acid three or four times a day mixed in a wine glassful of water; continue this for three days. Then give two grains of quinine three times a day along with twenty drops of chloride of iron in a spoonful of syrup for a few days. Bathe the affected parts with acetate of lead, half an ounce, carbolic acid half an ounce, water one quart. Do this at least three times a day. Feed the pig on oatmeal and milk. Salt the oatmeal. If this treatment is faithfully carried out a great many of the affected animals will recover. Gangrenous Erysipelas.—This is another of the anthrax diseases which affects swine. It is sometimes called “wild-fire.” This disease begins with fever, the animal appears dull, does not like to walk or stand, but lies buried in the straw or anything it can get into, the temperature is high, the pulse fast, and the breathing quick and short; red spots appear on the breast, belly and legs, often causing swelling of the skin, and in some cases it is dry and crackles on pressure, the whole of the skin of the affected part becomes very DISEASES OF THE PIG. 35 red, then bluish black, the animal loses the power of its legs and very soon dies from exhaustion. Treatment: Give a physic in the early stages: aloes ten grains, calomel four grains; give in a little gruel. Repeat in ten hours if it does not operate. Follow this by twenty to forty drops of the tincture chloride of iron in syrup three times a day; also give quinine in four-grain doses once a day in water or syrup. Bathe with acetate of lead half an ounce, carbolic acid half an ounce, and water one quart; use this freely sev- eral times a day over the affected parts. Give plenty of clear cold water to drink and give it anything it will eat. Gangrenous Angina.—This form of anthrax is very common in the pig. Its principal seat is in the throat, and it is characterized by difficult breathing and a wheezing sound. There is swelling of the tongue and great difticulty in swallowing, and the animal makes efforts to vomit. ‘There is a painful swelling that appears on the outside of the throat, sometimes extending down between the fore legs. If the skin of the pig is white it will be red at first, afterward becoming a purple color. As the disease progresses the breathing becomes more diflicult, and if not relieved the animal may die from suffocation. Treuat- ment: In the early stages of the disease give a dose of epsom salts, one to - three ounces; follow this by giving five to ten drops of the strong nitro-muri- atic acid well diluted with water. If the tongue is much swolen treat as is recommended for inflammation of the tongue. When the swelling first makes its appearance blister it with biniodide of mercury one drachm, lard one ounce. If the swelling is extending down the neck inject a little lotion composed of peroxide of hydrogen one part, water four parts. This should be injected in different parts of the swelling. This remedy is a powerful antiseptic and will sometimes stop the progress of the disease, Entric Fever (Hog cholera).—Entric fever, I think, is the proper name for this disease, as the glands of the intestines are the parts affected in the majority of cases. In some few the heart and lungs are also affected. It is supposed to be caused by baccillis; but whence this baccilii goeth or whence it cometh has not been discovered. It is like some of the other forms of an- thrax, it may or it may not be caused by a baccillis. We know that we have it and that it is a very fatal disease; some seasons much more so than others. It attacks hogs in all conditions of life—those that are confined and well fed, and those that are in the pasture field. It is no respecter of hogs, except the “old land pike.” All I can do at present is to give the symptoms of the dis- ease aS nearly as possible, as ‘all sickness of the pigs is called hog cholera. The sudden death of one or more hogs calls the attention of the breeder to the fact that something is wrong with his hogs. The hog is noticed to be dull; will neither seek food or water. If it can, it will be found in a dark place; the head is held very low, and the ears are loped. Often the signs of pain are well marked by the constant movement of some part of the body. It likes to lie on its belly and may be found in this position for hours. In some cases there will be violent vomiting and the brain becomes affected and the animal may become frantic, or it may lie in an unconscious state until it dies. In the early stages of the disease the feces are normal, but very soon a very foetid, black or dark diarrhcea sets in. The pulse rises to one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five per minute, and the heart beats are barely per- ceptible. There is a peculiar spasmodic breathing in all cases where the lungs become congested. There is marked weakness of the hind legs; the animal staggers, its legs crossing each other, but differs from paralysis in its being able to move them until the last. Some time before death there are patches on the skin of a bluish or purplish color, especially on the in side of the hind legs. If these patches are pressed they will become pale, which does not occur in other diseases where the skin becomes discolored, such as in erysipelas. The temperature of the body is at first increased, but soon falls below normal, and I have seen in a few cases dark blood oozing through the skin. In a number of cases the animal dies in from three to six hours, others live for several days. Although an animal may die in from three to six hours from the time it is first noticed to be sick, there is no doubt but what the animal has been ailing more or less for several days before it is actually taken down sick. I have made post mortem examinations of pigs which, to all appear- ance, seemed well; but on opening them all the characteristics of the disease 36 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. were present in an undeviloped form. It is necessary to make a post mortem of the first hog that dies to enable us to form a correct opinion as to the na- ture of the disease. Post-mortem appearance of the Hog that dies with this disease.—In re- moving the skin the tissue underneath it has the appearance as if the animal had been roughly used before death. The small blood vessels and the tissue © beneath the skin are gorged with black blood. There is also quantities of yellow serum (yellow water). But it is in the intestines where we look for this disease. In splitting them open they are studded with pustules of various sizes und in various stages of disease decomposition; some are hard and can be seen from the outside of the bowel. Ulceration of the glands of the intestines takes place, and in some cases make an opening through the bowel. The walls of the intestines at the affecteG parts are thickened and black in color. There will be a quantity of black liquid feces. The other organs of the body are more or less conges ed, and in some cases, when the hog dies suddenly, I have found the same kind of pustules in the cavities and valves of the heart, which no doubt was the cause of the sudden death. The post-mortem appearance of swine, which I have made before the animal showed any outward signs of the disease, but belonged to an infected herd: On removing the skin the parts appeared healthy, but on opening the intestines numbers of pustules were found in them in the early stage of development, and the glands more or less enlarged. In fact, the pustules, I think, are nothing more or less than en- larged glands, as there are so many of the glands of the small intestines which are so small that they are hardly visible to the naked eye; so that it is clear that the disease is in progress for some time before the hog shows signs of it, and I think this is the time to treat the disease, and I think I have done it successfully in some few cases, but not of sufficient number to say that it is a fuct. In cases where the hog is actually sick I consider the case is too far developed to cure it, even if the medicine could be applied with a brush. There is a disease of the intestines which has very much the same symptoms as hog cholera, and I met with a number of cases of it last year. On making post-mortem examinations of these I did not find any discolorations of any importance under the skin. On opening the small intestines I found a slough- ing of the mucous membrane, which was black and very easily torn. I found in some cases as much as ten feet of the bowel thus affected in one place; but usually two to four feet, then a healthy part; then another patch, and so on through the greater part of the small intestines, but no pustules. It may be that sometimes it takes on this form. Treatment: All the well hogs should be separated from the diseased ones, and each adult hog should be given five to ten drops of strong nitro-muriatic acid, well diluted with water, twice a day, and two tablespoonfuls of turpentine in a little sweet oil once daily. For hogs from two to six month, half the above quantity. Unless this is properly given there is no use beginning. It is a great trouble when one has a num- ber of hogs to treat. The medicine can be given in the food, but it is neces- sary to separate each hog’s food to be sure that one does not get too much, and another none or very little of it. I have had, to all appearance, good success by the use of the above, and I would be glad if farmers would report the results if they will try it and do it well. There are other remedies which have been recommended, especially that of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington. as follows: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium sulphate, and anti- mony sulphide, one pound each; sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and so- dium hypersul]phite, two pounds each. Thess are to be completely pulverized and mixed and a daily dose of a large tablespoonful for each hog two hun dred pounds in weight. The medicine may be also used as a preventive of the disease. I have used this medicine with no apparent good results. There is no medicine which can compare with nitro-muriatic acid for purifying the blood and acting on the diseased tissue of the bowels. On that account it ought to be a useful medicine in the early stages of hog cholera. DISEASES OF THE Pia. 37 CHAPTER VIII. SKIN DISEASES, Under this head there are a few eruptive diseases of the skin, and as they resemble each other in appearance, and the treatment being the same, I will only describe eczema. Eezema.—Eczema is the pustular stage of a deranged state of the skin. If noticed, the first appearance is a redness of the skin, followed in a few days by pustules, varying from the size of a pin head to the size of a large pea, or even larger. ‘There is a discharge of a thin, somewhat irritant fluid from them, which in some cases causes the hair to fall off. It is usually fol- lowed by a considerable itching, causing the anima) to rub itself, making the surface raw. After a time the parts dry up and heal, leaving the skin dry and hard, and in some cases it may crack, or in a few days a fresh crop of pustules make their appearance, and in this way the disease may remain for months if not relieved. The seat of this disease in pigs is the neck, breast, and inside of both fore and hind legs. It is caused by some impurities in the system, or it may be the skin itself, as the animal is in its usual health, which it would not be if the blood was in a bad condition. I consider that the great majority of skin diseases are local, affecting the skin only. If the animal is fat, give it a dose of Epsom salts, one to two ounces, follow this by giving a tablespoonful of sulphur once a day in its food fora week. This medicine partly leaves the body through the skin, and may on that account be useful. Bathe the affected parts three times a day with acetate of lead half an ounce, sulphate of zine half an ounce, water one quart. If the skin becomes hard, use oxide of zinc one ounce, vaseline two ounces. In cases where the animal is thin in flesh, the cells of the skin may not be properly developed, resulting in disease of the skin. In this give the hog from five to ten grains of sulphate of iron, also a tablespoonful of cod liver oil twice daily in its food. We find this very useful. Use the same lotion to the skin as in the other case, Mange.—This disease is caused by a parasite which burrows under the scarf skin, causing considerable irritation, destroying it so that scabs form; and on account of the great itchiness of the part the animal rubs it, causing the part to become a raw sore. This disease is contagious from one pig to another. It generally appears first on the thin parts of the skin under the arm, behind the ear, inside of the thighs, and upon the back. ‘This disease in its early stage resembles eczema, but if the eyesight is good and assisted by the bright sunlight, the parasites may be seen as a moving white speck, but can be readily seen by a small magnifying glass. The cause of this disease is by contagion; that is, the parasites themselves or their eggs must get on the skin in order to produce the disease. It is therefore necessary that all the unaffected pigs should be removed from the premises where the diseased ones are or have been, and the wood work of the styes washed with a strong solu- tion of carbolic acid. Treatment.—Wash the pigs all over with soft soap and water, then rub in well dry sulphur. When the sulphur comes in contact with the secretions from the sores, it forms a compound poisonous to the parasites. In a day or two give the animal another washing, and rub on some more sul- phur. A very sure remedy is to boil for one hour two ounces of stavesacre seeds in one and one-half quarts of water, and keep it nearly boiling for an hour longer, make up the water.to the quantity originally used. Such a so- lution rubbed into the skin not only kills the parasite, but its eggs also. Re- peat in a week if necessary. Another is to steep one part of tobacco in twenty parts of boiling water for a few hours, and after washing the pig apply a little of this to the affected parts with a sponge. If the surface to be cov- ered is large, only apply it to one part to-day and to the other to-morrow. For instance, if the neck and the legs are affected, apply to the neck first, then to the other parts the day following, and there will be no bad results from the use of the tobacco, and it is an excellent remedy when carefully used. 38 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. Warts.—These are caused by a deranged condition of the scarf skin, but subsequently the true skin becomes affected, thus producing on the surface of the body growths of various sizes, When these are rubbed or bruised they ulcerate, and thus form fungus like masses, projecting from the skin. They are very unsightly, and bleed on the slight+st pressure. In some cases they are flat, spreading over the skin. Treatment.—For those which project from the skin and have a neck, tie a piece of sharp cord tightly around the base. If it does not slough off in a week, tie on another. When it sloughs off touch the part with terchloride of antimony once a day for a few days, to destroy the roots of the wart. In cases where they are flat, scrape off the scurf until the blood begins to ooze, then apply a little of the antimony to it with a feather. On the second or third day remove the scab that forms, and apply a little more of the antimony, and so on until it is lower than the surround- ing skin. Then apply zine oxide one ounce, vaseline two ounces, use a little once a day to heal it. If it should show signs of growing up again, use the antimony as above. Canker.—This is a sore which appears on different parts of the body. In the pig they are usually found on the face and ears. I have seen them com- mence on the margin of the nose and spread up to the eyes and ears, form- ing very unhealthy sores, in some cases affecting the health of the animal. It begins as little reddish sores, rapidly spreading, and in some cases causing deep sloughing, leaving the bone bare. Treatment: Wash the sores clean and apply a little terchloride of antimony every second day for a few times. This will destroy the unhealthy parts and leave them in a condition to heal. Then wash the parts once a day with the following solution: Permanganate of potassium twenty grains, water one ounce. Shake up well before using. If they are tardy in healing and have a tendency to spread, apply a Jittle more of the an- timony, and so on until they heal. Lice.—The causes of lice in pigs are bad food and filthy styes. When pigs are badly housed or kept, lice will likely appear and will spread from one pig to the other. The louse of the pig is of a dusky iron color on its back, and gray or ashy yellow on the belly, and has long legs. Lice area great torment to the pig and it will be impossible to fatten a hog which is lousy, and they will prevent young pigs from growing. There are a number of remedies for the destruction of lice. The best, if attainable, is to boil two ounces of staves- acre seeds in three pints of water, let it nearly boil for an hour longer, making up the water to the quantity originally used. Wet the animal all over with a little of this. It will kill the lice and the nits. Solutions of tobacco, one to twenty of water, is very effectual in destroying lice, and when used with cau- tion there is no danger. Cotton seed or raw linseed oil two parts, kerosene one part, this to be rubbed over the animal. The only objection is, it being a greasy substance, it sometimes elogs up the pores, and un that account either of the first two are preferred, SCARLET FEVER. This is a contagious disease characterized by inflammation of the fauces (back part of the mouth), and a scarlet rash appearing usually on the second day and ending about the sixth or seventh. This disease is often confounded with measles. Although there is a marked difference in the human being it is not so easily distinguished in the hog unless the animal is white. If it should be mistaken for measles or measles mistaken for it, the error would not be of much consequence, as it has to be treated according to the stage and severity of the fever; that is, to confine the fever as much as possible and keep‘up the strength of the patient. Symptoms: In the early stages there is langour, and stiffness caused by the muscles of the back being affected; there is a fast pulse, from one hundred to one hundred and twenty; high temperature, one hundred and four to one hundred and six; dry hot skin, furred tongue, loss of appetite, great thirst, and great muscular weakness; sometimes the animal will vomit and the nervous system may be disordered, causing restlessness, delirium, stupor, coma, or convulsions. Very often from the be- ginning there is inflammation of the throat and back part of the mouth, which, on being examined, will be found red and swollen; the tongue will be \ * DISEASES OF THE PIG. 39 coated with a yellowish white fur, and projecting red pimples will be seen upon its surface, and is red at tha edges and tip. If the animal has white skin about the face, neck, belly or inside‘of the legs, a red rash will be seen about the second or third day. In some cases minute pimples form, which are itchy and make the animal very restless. The bowels are usually consti- pated, but in some few cases there may be diarrhoea. In some cases the throat symptoms are very slight, but usually they are severe and occur before the rash and are very distressing, swelling both inside and out, and may prevent the animal from swallowing and make the breathing very difficult. This dis- ease is readily mistaken for quinsy in the pig. The disease usually reaches its height in from tive to nine days, and then, in the majority of cases, begins to decline. The rash fades; the dry heat of the skin diminishes; the pulse be- comes slower; the throat symptoms disappear, and the tongue loses its fur and becomes clean, and the temperature is reduced; but in some cases it takes on worse forms, and an animal may die before the eruption appears, from shock upon the nervous system; or at any tims during the attack from brain trouble or from inflammation attacking some of the vital parts, such as the lungs, stomach, bowels; or the animal may die from suffocation. The patient may sink from debility. As this disease requires to be treated according to the condition of the animal, changing the medicine sometimes several times daily, it makes it a very difficult disease for the farmer to treat. Professor Wood, in his practice of medicine, says: “In the vast majority of cases scarlet fever would end favorably without treatment; hence the reputation acquired by homeopathy in this disease.” Therefore, it such a disease as this shouid break out, keep the animal in a good comfortable place, keep the bowels open by giving one ounce doses of epsom salts, or a seidlitz powder occasionally. Some recommend to give diluted acetic acid, ten droys in a little water, sey- eral times a day. If there should be diarrhoea give one ounce castor oil and from ten to twenty drops of tincture of opium in it; repeat in ten hours if necessary. It is dangerous to check diarrhcea too quickly in this disease, as it is often an effort of nature to rid the system of poisonous material. If the throat is troublesome give ten grains of chlorate of potassium and three to five drops of fluid extract of belladonna in three or four tablespoonfuls of cold water three or four times daily. If the fever is very high and in the early stage of the disease, from five to ten drops tincture of aconite in a spoonful of water, will in some cases keep it down; but this should not be carried too far, as it is a very reducing medicine and so is the disease, and there may be danger of collapse. If the animal is very weak and the pulse small, give stimulents, such as two teaspoonfuls of sweet spirits of nitre in a little water, three or four times a day, or two teaspoonfuls of good whisky in a little milk several times daily. Carbonate of ammonia is also good given in ten to twelve grain doses in a little cold water three times daily. In great debility quinine five grains, sulphuric acid two drops, water one ounce, twice a day is also useful. Clothes wrung out of boiling water and wrapped around the swollen neck, and continued for twelve to twenty-four hours often relieves the distress. CHAPTER IX. APOPLEXY. This derangement is almost entirely confined to pigs that are too fat and are getting too much to eat. Symptoms: If the animal is eating it will stop suddenly, appear restless, stupid in its movements; the eyes become prominent and blood-shot, it foams at the mouth, falls over and may die in a few min- utes: others may fall over apparently dead, and in a few moments revive and get well. Treatment: Bleeding from the veins of the legs is recommended. Tie a string tight above the knee of the fore legs, the vein on the inside of the leg will be seen to fill up; then take a sharp knife and make an opening sufficient to allow a free stream of blood; serve the other one in the same way. After removing one and a half pints of blood pin up the wound in the 40 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. skin. Press a small pin through the skin at the elges of the wound and tie a thread around the ends of the pin, thus closing the wound. Let the pins remain in until the skin is healed. Hogs that are over-fat and show any signs of dullness should get a dose of epsom salts, two to three ounces, and be fed sparingly for a few days until the dullness wears off. Anemia.—This condition indicates that the blood of the animal is poor, both in quality and quantity, the result of disease or poor food. The blood contains too much water for the amount of solids in it; it is theretore not sufficient to nourish the body, and the animal soon becomes emaciated and weak. The membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes are of a pale blue color, and if there is any white skin it will present the same appearance, The pulse is usually weak and fast; legs and ears are cold. Treatment: First remove the cause. If it is from insufficient food see that it gets a fair supply of good nutritious food; and if from disease, it will be necessary to give remedies to cure it, in combination with the medicine to be used for the cure of anemia. To assist in strengthening the blood give twenty to forty drops tincture chlo- ride of iron in a tablespoonful of cod liver oil, three times a day, and con- tinue it for several weeks. This is an excellent remedy for young pigs that are not thriving well. Plethora (Over-fat)—Some pigs, from being over-fed on highly nutritious, stimulating food, take on fat in such abundance that their legs are not strong enough to bear up the weight, and the hind legs suffer worse. This trouble may be mistaken for partial paralysis. Treatment in such cases should con- sist in reducing the food, both in quantity and quality, and it necessary give the hog a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces dissolved in half a pint of cold water, and if the animal is on a hard floor put it on a soft dirt floor, or put saw-dust on it. CHAPTER X. DISEASES OF THE GENERATIVE ORGANS. The pig is not subject to diseases of these organs for the same reasons that have been mentioned before, that they are brought to maturity and the greater number of them are sold by the time they are two years old or less. Difficult Parturition.—This is sometimes met with in the sof, and on ac- count of the passage being too small to admit the hand, in the majority of sows, it is sometimes with great difticulty that we can relieve them. If asow has been straining for some time and making no progress, it will be necessary to examine it to find the cause. Causes: The parts may not be properly dila- ted, or the passage may be too small to allow the fcetus to pass, or the parts may not be strong enough to expel the foetus. In cther cases several may be expelled and one or more seem to block up the passage. Every farmer and stock breeder should have a pair of parturition forceps for the pig. ‘They can be gotten from Haussmann & Dunn, or any veterinary instrument makers. The forceps are useful for two purposes: To dilate the parts by smearing it with fluid extract of belladonna then introducing it into the passage, and by opening and closing the forceps, and the belladonna acting on the parts, dila- tion sometimes takes place rapidly. When this is accomplished there will be no further trouble. If it is caused by the fcetus being too large warm the forceps and rub on a little lard and introduce them and get a hold of the foetus, and by gentle traction you will be able to remove it. I have removed a number in this way and they lived to grow into fine pigs. The foetus of the pig is not like the Jarger animals; their Jegs are not much hindrance If it is caused from want of strength of the walls of the uturus to expel its contents, give the sow from one to two drachms of the fluid extract ergot of rye in a little water, every half hour until you have the desired result. In cases where the forceps have been used it is always safe to wash out the parts with tine- ture of opium one drachm, carbolic acid thirty drops, water one pint. Inject warm water first to clean it out, then inject the lotion. This will act as a DISEASES OF THE PIG. 41 soothing antiseptic and will greatly soothe the irritated parts. If there should be any lacerations of the part they should be dressed with a little of the above lotion once or twice a day. Inversion or the Uterus—This sometimes takes place in the sow, and when it does the parts should be well washed and all particles of dirt remov: ed, then bathe it for ten minutes with acetate of lead two drachms, tincture of opium two drachms, water one pint. Then take a piece of soft muslin and fold it into several thicknesses and put it over the ends of your tour fingers, which should be made into the form of a cone, and by gentile pressure on its centre it can be pressed into its place. Remember, it is inverted, and the pressure must be on its centre so that it will turn in. After this has been accomplished take a strong pin ana pass it through from side to side of the passage, then tie a piece of string in the form of the figure eight; that will keep the part closed and prevent the uterus from being pressed out again. The pin is to be left in for a few days, when it can be drawn out, leaving no sore. If the sow is very restless she should be given a dose or two of opium, two grains at a dose. Feed her on oatmeal and mi'k fvod for a few days. If the sow does not do well after such cases, give her twenty drops tincture chloride of iron, and a teaspoonful each of tincture of ginger and gentian at a dose, in a littie syrup, two or three times a day for a week. Mammitis (Inflammation of the Udder).—This is not a common disease in the sow, but it does take place at times. Causes: Injuries to the udder; also, the over-accumulation of milk, and chills. Symptoms: The udder is swollen and hard. If the skin is white, it will be red and very tender to the touch. When this takes place in the sow it is usually sick with considerable fever, loss of appetite and constipated bowels. Treatment: Draw off as much milk as possibie, although this is no very easy matter in the sow; the inflammation causes the milk to coagulate and it separates into curd and whey. If she has young pigs allow them to suck; if not, draw off as much as possible with the fingers. Foment the parts well with hot water, then use acetate of lead half an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. Bathe threetimes daily with the hot water and apply the lotion after each bathing. Give from one to two ounces of epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains of nitrate of potas- sium in a little water three times a day. If matter should form, which is known by the part becoming soft and pitting with the fingers, either open it with the knife or let it break of its own accord. When it breaks inject water into it to clean it out, then inject carbolic acid one drachm, water half a pint. Clean the parts out twice a day with a little of this. If the parts become hard or caked rub on iodine one drachm., vaseline one ounce. Do this twice a week until the part becomes soft or the hardness disappears; also give from eight to ten grains of iodide of potassium in a litt'e water twice a day for a week. If any of it should become mortified, which can be easily seen by its bluish or black appearance, it will have to be removed with the knife and the part dressed with a little proxide of hydrogen, one part to four of soft water, twice a day; also, give twenty to thirty drops of tincture chloride of iron in a spoon- ful of syrup three times a day. Sore Teats.—Occasionally the teats of the sow become inflamed and are red, swollen and sore, and she does not want the young ones to touch her. This usually makes matters worse, as the udder at the base of the teats be- comes involved on account of the accumulation of milk. This trouble is caused by the teats coming in contact with dirt mixed with urine, which irri- tates the skin. causing it to crack and inflame. Mud and water are not likely to do this. It is also caused by the sow traveling through poisonous weeds when they are wet with dew or rain. To avoid this trouble keep the stye of the sow clean, and, if possible, have all obnoxious weeds removed from the pasture where nursing sows are kept. Treatment; Bathe the parts well three times a day with acetate of lead half an ounce, water one quart, then rub over the affected parts after bathing, glycerine two ounces, tannic acid twenty grains, water four ounces; shake up well before using. If the animal is fever- ish give her one to two ounces of epsom salts. dissolved in half a pint of water; also give ten grains of nitrate of potassium in the food or drinking water two or three times a day. This derangement is sometimes caused by the youug pigs having sore mouths. If such is the case, sponge the mouth 42 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. with equal parts of vinegar and honey mixed with borax, a teaspoonful to every two ounces. A few applications usually effects a cure. ORCHITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE ORCHITIS.) This disease is caused by injuries to the part, such as blows, bites from other pigs, wouuds penetrating the testicle. It is also caused by feeding too much stimulating food in hot weather or medicines that stimulate the gen- erative system, such as cantharides, rue, tansy, dameana. Symptoms: Swell- ing of the part, which is hot and tender to the touch, the swelling often extending down the legs; the animal suffers pain when made to move. This disease can be easily distinguished from hydrocele (water in the pouch) by the swelling being hard and hot and very tender, while in hydrocele it is soft and will fluctuate under the fingers and is not painful to the touch, Treat- ment: Give the pig two ounces epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains of nitrate of potassium three times a day in a little water. If the appetite is good put it in its food. Bathe the part three or four times daily with hot water and after each bathing use a little of the following: acetate of lead half an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. If matter should form, which can be known by the part becoming soft and pitting with the finger, than open it with the knife, squeeze out tne matter and wash it out with water, then inject a little of the following: Peroxide of hydrogen one ounce, water four ounces. Do this twice a day to heal it. If it will not heal it will be necessary to castrate the animal. HYDROCELE (WATER IN THE SCROTUM.) This derangement is sometimes the result of inflammation of the scrotum or by the walls of the scrotum being bruised. Symptoms: ‘lhe scrotum is swollen and will fluctuate under the fingers and the testicles can be felt float- ing in the water. Treatment: If it is not interfering with the animal’s health and not increasing in size it will be better left alone. Astringent medicines may be tried, such as tannic acid, twenty grains to the ounce of water. The proper treatment is to draw off the fluid with a hypodermic syringe, the nozzle of which is passed through a solution of carbolie acid. But this should be done only by a veterinarian. STERILITY. This derangement happens more commonly in the well bred animal, es- pecially in those that are ‘ forced” by overstimulating food. The animal gets into such a plethorie state that it sometimes blocks up the fine tubes con- nected with the organs of generation. There are several other distinct causes: Disordered ovaries, obstructions to the fallopian tubes, a morbid condition of the uterus, hardening of the neck of the uterus. In the pig on account of not being able to make an examination by the hand it is very difficult to find the cause, and if we did it would likely be impossible to remove it. Sows should be kept ina good growing condition, but avoid having her over- fat. If the animal takes on fat very easily and will not breed give her two ounces epsom salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water at one dose; follow this by giving ten grains of iodide of potassium twice a day in her food for two weeks. By this treatment we mav succeed in absorbing materials which have blocked up some of the tubes. If the animal is weak and in poor con- dition give good food and twenty to forty drops of the tincture chloride of iron twice a day in its food. / / CHAPTER XI. ‘ RHEUMATISM. This is a very common disease among pigs, especially young ones. It is impossible to say what causes rheumatism in the pig, as it is found under DISEASES OF THE Pra. 43 all conditions, where the pigs are well kept, where they are not. Symptoms: There is lameness in one or more legs, which is more or less notiveable ac- cording to the severity of the case. The joints often swell at the fetlocks. When the muscles are affected it may assume the form of inflammatory rheu- matism and will cause an elevation of temperature and sickness. In such case the animal will be very stiff and refuse its food, its breathing will be fast and short, and its snout dry, and if the animal is made to move it may squeal with pain. When the legs are the parts affected it may shift from one leg to the other, but if the joints swell it will likely remain stationary until relieved. Treatment: Keep the animal in a comfortable place, and if it is in good flesh give it a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, or two to three drops of croton oil in a spoonful of sweet oil, or it may be dropped in the mouth. Croton oil seems to be a useful medicine in rheumatism. Follow this by giving from ten to fifteen drops of oil of gaultheria to the adult pig three times a day ina little sweet oil. For pigs two to three months old give half this quantity. I have given iodide and the bicarbonate of potassium in ten grain doses two or three times a day in a little water with good results; but I have excellent results by giving the oil of gaul- theria. Rub the sore swollen joints with equal parts of oil of turpentine and sweet oil, In cases of inflammatory rheumatism, after giving the physic, give from three to five drops of the tincture of aconite every two hours for the first two days, then give the oil of gaultheria as directed. Sprains.—Y oung and old pigs are liable to sprains of the ligament at the top of the hoof and fetlock-joint, which may be mistaken for rheumatism, as the symptoms resemble it; but as the treatment for rheumatism of the joints will answer the purpose for sprains it will make no difference if a mistake is made. SORE FEET. Pigs which are kept on hard slippery floors suffer from inflammation of the sensitive parts of their feet. I have seen some very heavy hogs suffer from the same cause on hard dry ground. There are also cases of sores breaking out at the back of the hoof and between the toes. This is called “foul in the feet;” but I have not seen any cases of the contagious foot dis- ease in this country, and the one to be described is a local disease caused by some substance irritating the parts at the heel or between the toes. I have often seen it caused by the fine cinders of coal being scattered in the yard. This material gets in between the toes, causing irritation. Vesicles may form, burst, and discharge a yellow fluid, or matter may form. Unhealthy sores are the result of the irritation not being removed. Cinders from coal should never be put in yards where hogs, cattle or sheep are kept, as I have had a number of cases in cattle and sheep as well as the hog nearly ruined from this cause. Treatment: In cases where the feet are tender and no sores ap- pear, the animal should be kept for several hours on a bed of wet sand, as it is not practicable to poultice the feet of the hog and the wet sand will an- swer the purpose. If the animal is very lame a dose of epsom salts, fol- lowed by ten grains of nitrate of potassium two or three times a day in its food will cool the system and help to relieve the sore feet. In a few days the animal is usually cured. If sores appear between the toes or at the heels, clean the parts well with warm water and soap to remove all dirt. If there is any proud flesh, which can be known by its bluish appearance and spongy aspect, apply a little terchloride of antimony with a feather once. If it has not removed all the proud flesh apply again on the third day, To heal the sores use chloridé of zine one drachm, water one pint; dress once or twice a day according to the severity of the case. Keep the pigs ina clean dry place until the feet are well. WOUNDS. These are of frequent occurrence in the pig, and if they are severe they will be difficult to heal, as it is impossible to prevent the animal from rubbing, thus irritating them. Bandages cannot be applied with any satisfaction as the animal will tear or rub them off. If the wound is caused by a sharp instru- 44 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. ment and is lengthwise in the muscle, cast the hog and sew up the wound either with catgut or silk thread; but if it is a ragged wound or cut across the muscle, it is better not to close it. Dress the wounds once or twice a day with permanganate of potassium, ten grains to the ounce of water for fresh wounds; tor old wounds, twenty grains to the ounce of water. When the wound is not deep and the weather is hot, rub on a little tar. This will keep away the flies and the wound will heal of its own accord. INJURIES. Broken bones in the pig will heal as fast as in any other animal, but it is impossible to confine the animal for treatment. In cases of simple fracture it will usually get well of itself; but, where the bone is splintered and the flesh lacerated, it is best to destroy the animal. The injury sometimes only bruises the flesh and it will right itself. In other cases there will be effusion of serum under the skin, causing a considerable soft, puffy swelling. This will have to be opened and the fluid pressed out and alitile of the chloride of zine lotion injected once a day for a few days. If this is not done the sack will fill up again. Pork Propucts, Ere. 45 PORK PRODUCTS. Slaughtering and Curing the Carcass of the Hog. Farmers should not only cure hams, bacon, etc., necessary for consump- tion on the farm, but an additional quantity ample to supply the home market. The merchants in nearly every small town and city in the United States purchase from distant wholesale markets as much pork, lard and other hog products as the farmers in such localities offer for sale. The expense of shipping the live hogs to market, the commission paid for their sale, the outlay for slaughter and cure of the carcass, the packers’, jobbers’ and retail dealers’ profits, the money paid for return shipment of the dressed meat, and insurance on same, are, by the prevailing customs of trade, a loss to the farmer of many millions of dollars annually. The breeders of Berkshire swine will find much of interest concerning the slaughter and cure of pork products in the experience of the well known authorities quoted on the following pages, the study of which will doubtless p ompt many farmers that have sold their hogs on foot for shipment to dis- tant packing centers and subsequently purchased large quantities of high- priced hams, etc., to adopt the more profitable plan of preparing an ample supply of pork of their own feeding for home use and the local markets. The consumption of pork can be largely increased on each farm by feed- ing for a better quality of product and adopting the better methods of dressing, curing, smoking and preparing hams, bacon and pickle pork, speci- _ ified on the following pages. HOW TO CUT UP PORK. Split through the spine, cut off each half of head behind the ear and re- move the pieces in front of the shoulder for sausage. Take out leaf which lies around kidneys for lard, cut out the lean meat, ribs, etc., at the ham and shoulder and remove the loose pieces directly in front of the ham for lard. Cut off a narrow strip of the belly for sausage,:and cut up the remainder, which is clear pork, into five or six strips of about equal width for salting down. Smoke the jowl with hams, and use the upper part of the head for boiling, baking or head cheese. Scorch the feet over the fire until the hoofs remove easily, scrape clean, place in hot water a few minutes, wash and scrape thoroughly and they are ready for cooking. All the flabby pieces should be tried up for lard. Remove all fat from intestines, saving that which does not easily come off the larger intestines, for soap grease. The liver, heart, sweet- breads and kidneys are all used for boiling or frying, and the smaller intestines are sometimes used for sausage cases. SALTING PORK. In the matter of keeping pork there are some items antecedent to salting that are worthy of attention. First, in dressing, the scurf should be entirely removed by most thorough scraping and applications of hot water. By this is meant not only the dark-colored, external scurf that readily slips off on a good scald, leaving a smooth, white, shining surface; it is what composes this that should be removed, otherwise, when warm weather comes, it rises to the top of the brine, sours, and impairs the flavor of the meat. Two pigs may be dressed for market with a better appearance, while one can be properly prepared for salting and keeping for domestic use. The vessel (barrel or glazed crock) in which the meat is to be packed should be clean, free from any 46 BERKSHIRE YEAR book. ‘ trace of lime or suspicion of taint from previous use. If musty, invert over bur..ing sulphur and fumigate. When the meat is thoroughly cold (should never be frozen), cut in desired form, rub with compound described below, pack closely on edge with rind toward the outside, and weight that it may not rise. — Compound for rubbing the meat: One-fourth pound black pepper, finely ground, 44 pound saltpeter, pulverized; mix with salt, 8 to 10 pounds, sufti- cient for the meat; rub thoroughly, scattering some upon the bottom of ‘the vessel and upon each layer of meat; cover the meat with cold water. Meat thus prepared will keep some time, though not through hot weather, The lean will not harden as if more salt were added. If scum arise, skim and add more salt, putting it on top, thus feeding the brine whenever it thus in- dicates the need. Carefully keep the meat covered with brine, leaving none to float,adding water and salt as required. Thus treated the Berkshire gives a product that is unexcelled. If preferred, the brine may be added when the ~ meat is packed by putting in water all the salt it will dissolve. If packed for market or not frequently examined, this is the better way; otherwise the former method is preferable. TO SALT PORK, Allow the meat to stand until the animal heat is entirely out of it; eut the sides into strips crosswise; cover the bottom of a barrel with salt, and pack in the pork closely edgewise, with rind next the barrel; cover each layer with salt, and proceed in like manner until all has been put in. Make a strong brine sufficient to cover the pork (soft water is best and there is no danger of getting it too salt), boil, skim and pour into the barrel while boil- ing hot. Have a board cut out round, a little smaller than the barrel, put over the pork, and on it place a weight heavy enough to keep it always un- der the brine. If at any time the brine froths or looks red, it must be turned off, scalded and returned while hot. Never put cold brine on old pork unless you wish to lose it. In salting down a new supply of pork, boil down the old brine, remove the scum and then pour it over the pork as directed above. PICKLE FOR HAM. For 100 pounds: Good salt, 8 pounds; molasses 114 pints; saltpeter 4 ounces; soda, 2 ounces. Put all in sufficient water to cover the meat; boil and skim well; when cool put on the meat with heavy weight to keep the meat under the brine; leave it in 30 days; drain and remove to the smoke- house; smoke with corn cobs or green hickory wood for ten days. L. A. REYNOLDS, ArcaApIA, NEB. PICKLE FOR HAMS. Rub and pack as above, and cover with a pickle of the following propor- tions: Six gallons of water, 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of sugar. Let meat lie three to five weeks, remove and soak twelve hours to equalize salt, drain and smoke to suit, Green hickory wood or cobs are desirable fuel. Complete smoking by burning one-half pound of sulphnr. This is to prevent meat from molding. Bag and hang in cool, dry place. TO CURE HAMS. To 100 pounds of meat: Nine pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar or mo- lasses, 3 ounces of saltpeter, 2 ounces of soda; boil and skim; add to meat when cool; add enough water before boiling to cover the meat. CURING HAMS. To every 100 pounds of ham, 8 pounds best pork salt, 2 ounces saltpeter, 2 pounds brown sugar, 14g ounces potash and 4 gallons water. Mix, and pour over the hams after they have lain in tub two days, having been rubbed with fine salt and a little brown sugar when put in. Let them remain in this pickle six days, then let hang and dry a few days before smoking. A, J. LOVEJOY, Roscos,: Tnx, ai x Pork Propucts, Erc. 47 CURING HAMS. Hang up the hams a week or ten days, the longer the tenderer and bet- ter, if kept perfectly sweet; mix for each good-sized ham, 1 teacupful of salt, 1 tablespoonful of molasses, 1 ounce of saltpeter. Lay the hams in a clean, dry tub; heat the mixture and rub well into the ham, especially around the bones and recesses; repeat the process once or twice, or until all the mixture is used; then let the hams lie two or three days, when they must be put for three weeks in brine strong enough to bear an egg; then soak eight hours in cold water; hang up to dry in the kitchen or other convenient place for a week or more; smoke from three to five days, being careful not to heat the hams. Corn cobs and apple tree wood are good for smoking. The juices are better retained if smoked with the hock down. Tie up carefully in bags for the summer. TO CURE HAMS AND BACON. _ When killed and cool, cut up, and begin immediately to salt them. Rub the outside of each ham with a teaspoonful of powdered saltpetre, and the inside with a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Having mixed together two pounds of brown sugar and salt, mix in the proportion of one pound and a half of sugar to a pint of salt, and rub the pork well with it. This quantity of sugar and salt will be sufticient for fifty pounds of meat. Have ready some large tubs, the bottom sprinkled with salt, and lay the meat in the tubs with _the skin downward. Put plenty of salt between each layer of meat. After it has lain eight days, take it out and wipe off the salt and wash the tubs. Make a pickle of soft water, equal quantities of salt and molasses and a little salt- petre, allowing five ounces of saltpetre to two quarts of molasses and two quarts of salt, which is the proportion for fifty pounds of meat. The pickle must be strong enough to bear up an egg. Boil and skim it, and when it is cold, pour it over the meat, which must be turned frequently and basted with the pickle. The hams should remain in the pickle at least four weeks; the bacon three weeks. They should then be taken out and smoked. Having washed off the pickle, before you smoke the meat, bury it while wet, in a tub of bran. This will form a crust over it and prevent evaporation of the juices. Let the smoke-house be ready to receive the meat immediately. Take it out of the tub after it has lain half an hour and rub the bran eyenly over it. Then hang it up to smoke with the small end downward. Tongues may be cured in the above manner. NEW WAY TO SMOKE HAMS. Smoke the barrel in which the hams are to be pickled by inverting it over a kettle containing a slow fire of hard wood for eight days (keeping water on the head to prevent shrinking). In this barrel pack the hams, and pour over them, after it has cooled, a brine made in the proportion of four gallons of water, eight pounds of salt, five pints of molasses and four ounces of salt- petre, boiled and skimmed in the usual manner. They will be cured in eight or nine days, and they may be kept in the pickle for a year without damage. TRYING LARD. ° Cut the fat into small pieces, put into a kettle, and pour in enough water to cover the bottom. Boil gently until the “scraps” settle, or until the water has all evaporated, stirring often to prevent burning. Take off, strain in stone jars and set in a cool place. The quality of the lard is improved by sprink- ling over and slowly stirring in one tablespoonful of soda to every five gallons of lard just before removing from the fire. After adding soda the kettle must be removed from the stove, and watched closely and stirred constantly, as it Se rapidly, is very likely to run over, and if on stove, is likely to take fire. The leaf should be tried by itself for the nicest cooking. That from the smaller intestines, and the flabby pieces, not fit vor salting, should be thrown into lukewarm water and allowed to stand for wenty-four hours, and then should be tried by itself, and the lard set away where it will freeze, and by spring the strong taste will be gone. A teacup of water prevents burning while trying. 48 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. TO MAKE LARD. Take the leaf fat from the inside of a bacon hog, cut it small and put it in an iron kettle, which must be perfectly free from any musty taste; set it over a steady, moderate fire until nothing but scraps remain of the meat; the heat must be kept up, but gentle, that it may not burn the lard; spread a coarse cloth in a wire sieve, and strain the liquor into tin basins which will hold two or three quarts; squeeze all the fat from the scraps. When the lard in the pans is cold, press a piece of new muslin close upon it, trim it off on the edge of the pan, and keep it in acool place. Or it may be kept in wooden kegs with close covers. Lard made with one-third as much beef suet as fat is supposed by many persons to keep better. HEAD CHEESE. Take the heads, tongues and feet of young, fresh pork, or any other pieces that are convenient. Having removed the skin, boil them until the meat is quite tender and can easily be stripped from the bones. Then chop it very fine, and season it with salt and pepper, and ground cloves if you choose, or sage leaves rubbed to a powder. Mix it all well with your hand. Put it into deep pans with straight sides, and press it down hard and firm with a plate that will fit the pan, putting the under side of the plate next to the meat, and placing a heavy weight on it. In two or three days turn it out of the pan and cut it in thin slices. Use mustard and vinegar over it. SEASONING FOR SAUSAGE, To 40 pounds of meat use 1 pound of salt, 144 pound of pepper, 2 ounces of sage; mix thoroughly and add to meat before chopping, as it can be done more easily than after chopping. My wife says these are first-class, and her opinion can't be beat. H. A. COOPER, North Wolcott, N. Y. SAUSAGE, Meat 32 pounds; 44 pint, 1 part summer savory, 2 parts sage: I cup sugar; 1g pint salt; pepper to suit. R. L. SELDON, LeRoy, N. Y SAUSAGE, Twenty pounds of chopped meat, 8 ounces of salt, 2 ounces of pepper, 1 ounce of powdered sage, 1 teaspoonful of ginger. When cool, pack in pans, and first cover it thick with lard, then with paper. When cutting for use loosen a portion of the paper and press it back again. Keep in a cool, dry place. MRS: ROCA Bee MOCK SAUSAGE, Soak dry bread in water. Take as much cold meat, chopped fine, as you have bread. Mix and season with salt, pepper and sage. Make into small cakes and fry. A. M. STEVENS. VIRGINIA SAUSAGE MEAT, Pick the sausage meat to get out all the pieces of bone and strings; wash it in lukewarm water and lay on a table to drain; let it stand all night; take‘ off some of the fat from the backbone to mix with the lean. If you use “leaf fat,’ when you fry the sausage it will melt away to gravy and leave a little knot ef lean, hard and dry, floating in a sea of melted grease. The fat must be taken off before the chines are salted, and washed, skinned and put to drain with the lean. Next day chop it fine, picking out all the strings. When fine enough season it with salt, sage, black and red pepper to taste. Pack it in a close vessel. If you wish to stuff them, have some nicely cleaned chit- terlings kept in salt and water ten days or a fortnight. Stuff, hang on sticks and dry. ¥ Lx W ~< sn z " <* ei eae Et .

THE BERKSHIRE HOG, There are thousands of farmers and swine breeders that have recently made their first investment in the Berkshire hog. The great majority of the new breeders referred to above have made a careful and intelligent investiga- tion of the merits of the Berkshire, and from the best of evidence have be- come firmly convinced of the incomparable excellencies of the breed. There are many new recruits to the Berkshire army that have had little opportunity for study or observation of the good points so generally conceded this breed of hogs for more than a century. The latter class have had indif- ferent success with other breeds, and now enter upon the breeding of the Berkshire with the contident expectation of obtaining more profitable and satisfactory results. The opinions of the leading authorities quoted on the following pages will not only confirm the belief of the experienced breeder but convince the new breeder of the fact that the Berkshire is the most prolifie breeder, the best suckler, the most healthy and profitable hog to feed, and that the carcass is of the best quality. The Berkshire is the standard to which all the breeders of swine endeavor to attain in style, finish, breeding and feeding qualities and excellence of carcass. OPINIONS OF EXPERIENCED BREEDERS. When we consider all the numerous valuable qualities of the Berkshire, the superiority of its flesh, its great hardihood and ability to resist disease, the ease with which it fattens at an early age, and its fertility, we have no hesi- tation in giving our preference to the Berkshire so far as general farm pur- poses are concerned, The advantages or strong points of the Berkshire breed are these: The meat is the best and commands the highest price; the sows are very prolific and make the best and most attentive mothers. The Berkshires as a rule, although there are many exceptions to it, are heavily developed at the fore end, and you nearly always find with this breed a broad head, set closely on a deep, snort and thick neck, the neck blending well with the shoulder, and the muscles of the shoulder again pass smoothly into those of the ribs. The ribs are deep and well sprung, qualities which always accompany constitution and vitality. Kor these reasons, chiefly, we prefer the Berkshire to any other breed for general farm purposes; and the only breed which has ever tempted us seriously to change our mind in this matter is the little all-black Essex, PROFESSOR SKELTON, A word to those who may not be thoroughly acquainted with the Berk- shire hog. They are the oldest of any of the breeds, and have been pure for over one hundred years. Are a compact hog, of good size, superior quality and wonderful constitution; are always smooth and ready for the market at any age, and universally command the highest price in the market; are noted for their well marbled meat, and carry a large proportion of the best cuts of high-priced meats, viz., back and hams. A commission man at Chicago once said on selling for us a carload of prime barrows, weighing an average of 409 pounds, that our hogs were the “best backed hogs” that came to the yards. Tne BerKsHtreE Hoa. 57 The Berkshire cannot be excelled for crossing on the common or other hogs of the country, as he is a prepotent sire, and leaves the impress of his race on his get. A neighbor of ours once brought a Chester White sow and bred her to one of our Berkshire boars, and at farrowing time found to all ap- pearances as fine a litter of Berkshires as could be desired. We think the Berkshire is the best “all round” hog for the purpose that can be found, and will convert grass and grain into more profit, and thrive in all climates bet- ter than any other breed, and that is why we breed them. A. J. LOVEJOY & SON, Roscor, Int. The Berkshire is an English breed, improvement of which began about a century ago, and although having attained a standard of perfection which places them in the van, not only in the show ring, but also at the markets, the careful breeders will continue to advance them in quality and allow no deterioration ‘Their excellent qualities have kept them in the lead, notwith- standing the several booms of other breeds. and many of them owe their good points to the Berkshire. Being the oldest of the improved breeds of swine, it is, therefore, the most impressive when used for the improvement of common stock. Their color is black, with white points, but in scalding, when being dressed for pork, this outer skin comes off, leaving the pork perfectly white. Among the many characteristics are a large quantity of lean meat when fattened; quickness of growth, giving greater return for food than any other breed; also size at maturity, boars 500 to 800 pounds, sows 400 to 700 pounds; freedom from skin and other diseases; adapted for either warm or cold eli- mates; excellent for feeding on grass, yet easily kept in low enclosures, owing to their quiet dispositions; their hams, shoulders and sides of bacon excel all other breeds. WILLIS A. SEWARD, Bupps LAKE, N. J. After an experience of over eighteen years in breeding Berkshires, and a number of years with that of other breeds, the Poland China, etc., we can but say, “the Berkshire leads them all.” M. K. PRINE & SON, OskALoosa, Iowa. BERKSHIRE SWINE. They are a pure-bred hog, thus giving them the power to produce their like, The mothers are very prolific and great milkers. The pigs come strong and active, and feed at an early age. They are good grazers and feed ele- gantly after cattle. They are of a strong constitution, having vitality and great power of digestion. Their appearance is attractive, intelligent and proud, which indicates thorough breeding. They cross with all other breeds, perpetuating their vitality and quality. The half and three-fourths blood are much the type of the pure breed. RED CROSS STOCK FARM, Austin, Texas. Berkshires have large bones, capable of carrying great weight. My hogs all have great length, deep bodies, and weigh at maturity, when made fat, from 450 to 750 pounds. They are good feeders and are easily fattened at any age; are of quiet disposition, very prolific and good mothers. MRS. T. A. DYCHES; Grancer, TEXas. THE BERKSHIRE, The Berkshire hog may very properly be regarded as the standard hog of to-day. Other breeds strive to equal the Berkshire in the most valuable parts. In fact, many of the different breeds have had in their early history intro- duced more or less of Berkshire blood into them. These same breeds are the strongest competitors of the Berkshire to-day. The Berkshire traces his pedi- gree back further, perhaps, than any known breed of swine, He is the purest 58 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. bred, and can be relied on to reproduce himself—if a pure bred pedigreed pig—every time. Of course, it is meant that he be used on high grade or thoroughbred sows. The Berkshire cross on other breeds always improves, It will improve any breed of swine. They are prolific, and none are more so. The sows have a reputation of raising all, or nearly all, of their litters. The litters are strong and growthy, and for this reason Berkshire sows raise a larger per cent. of their litters than the Poland China and some other breeds. From ten or twelve Berkshire hogs 100 pigs may be expected. It takes almost twice that number of Poland sows to raise that many pigs. We know just what we are talking about. We have watched this closely. The next great point in hog breeding is maturity and size. This is one great reason why we handle and breed the Berkshire. If we did not regard them as the best breed of swine we would not be breeding them. There cannot be any question of their making as rapid growth as any breed—pigs 100 pounds at 100 days. Shoats at nine and ten months old weigh from 200 to 300 pounds, as farmers generally raise pigs. On grass, and especially clover, the Berkshire cannot be excelled. He is the best grazer of any breéd. In the west, where many hogs have to follow cattle, the Berkshire proves to be the most satisfactory, because of his great activity. Then he is the best hog to market. Strong bone, active and able to take care of himself. JOHN B. THOMPSON, PLATTSBURG, Mo, For the purpose of improving the common swine of the country, no other hog can pe used to better advantage or with greater certainty of good results than the Berkshire. Having descended from so long a line of pure-bred an- cestors, he possesses in an unrivaled degree the power to stamp upon his progeny his own excellence of form and feeding capacity, as well as vigor of constitution, which includes ability to resist the encroachments of disease. Hence he is in almost constant use for the improvement of common hogs. The improved of Berkshires of the present day are a well defined breed, possessing in an eminent degree definite and yaluable qualities and may be deseribed as follows: Body color, black with smooth, pliable, plum colored skin; hair rather fine, soft and thick; feet and tip of tail white with dash of white on face, and not unfrequently the nose white, as also some white on jowl; forehead and face broad, the latter dished, with eyes rather large and very clear, and snout short; ears of medium size, thin and very soft and carried rather upright; neck short, broad on top, with jowl large and full; shoulders broad on top and deep through the chest; back broad, sides deep and nearly straight on bottom line; hams large, reaching well forward on back and down on hock, well rounded and deep through, causing the legs to stand well apart; these. as well as the fore legs, short and strong, and standing well on toes; tail tapering and rather fine and set well up. In regard to form, a modern well-bred Berkshire in good condition is symmetrical throughout, attractive in appearance and recognized at once as an animal of more than ordinary worth. BERKSHIRE BULLETIN. QUICK FEEDERS. W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., is not only a good breeder of Berkshires of extra quality, but a very successful breeder of fat barrows for the market. Mr. Spicer gives the following data in reference to a feeding experiment with the Berkshire sow named Number Seven 11055, of the well-known Romford family. He writes: “She had been fed and shown at the fall fairs of that year 41888). On October 7 she was weighed about 4 p. m., after having all the soaked shelled corn she would eat at noon, weighing 632 pounds. She was then put in a small open shed and fed cornmeal soaked in water from one feed to the next, generally using the dishwater from the house. She was fed three times per day all she would eat. She had a feed of pumpkins two or three times that week. She was fed at noon on October 14, and about 4 p. m. that day she was taken out of the shed and weighed 678 pounds—gained 46. \ THe BERKSHIRE Hoa. 59 pounds in seven days. The feed she ate was not weighed, but she had been fed from one barrei. I weighed the barrel and what was in it and then filled it as near as could like it was before. I then weighed it and found I had put in ninety pounds of meal. In the fall of 1890 I fed Romford IT, 15791 (American Berkshire Record). In this test I wished to see how many pounds of cornmeal were required to produce a pound of gain, so the sow was care- fully prepared and placed on full feed, the weighing being done in the even- ing each time just before she was fed. She was fed all she would eat at noon each time before being weighed. She was kept in a yard 32 feet square, with a good house in it. On September 30 she weighed 491 pounds, and on Octo- ber 7 she weighed 525 pounds, having gained 34 pounds in seven days. She ate 97 pounds of cornmeal and matter. The meal was soaked six hours, BERKSHIRE QUALITIES. Prominent among the good qualities that make Berkshires highly es- teemed may be mentioned these: First—Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable to accident and disease than any others. Second—Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers, hence returning a maximum quantity of flesh and fat for food consumed. Third—The sows are unsurpassed for prolificacy and as careful nurses and good sucklers. Fourth—Their pigs are strong and active and vigorous at birth, and con- sequently less liable to the mishaps so common to them when very young. Fifth—They can be fattened for market at any age, and yet, if desirable fed to any reasonable weight, from six hundred to in some instances more than one thousand pounds. Sixth—Their flesh is of the highest quality of pork and quite as marbled as that of any other breed, and much more so than that of several others. Seventh—Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the breed to his progeny, when crossed with others.—F. D. Coburn, Columbian Exposition Report. BERKSHIRE BREEDING DISTRICTS.

A. W. Gillett, live stock commission merchant, of Kansas City, writes: “In answer to your inquiry, will say that the Berkshires are the most. desira- ble hog. Many breeders have the Poland China bred down until they are pretty fine by crossing them repeatedly with the Berkshire. For the European market fat ham and fat bacon are objectionable. There is more lean mixed with the bacon in a Berkshire than the Poland China, and the Berkshire carries more lean meat in the ham than any other hog.

He is ready for the market younger, will sell higher than any other hog, and when given age and care will mske heavy weights and choice quality, and will sell from 10 to 15 cents per hundred more on all markets than the Poland China. I do not think you can do better than breed the Berkshires.” MORE BERKSHIRES THE BETTER. W. F. Davis, a pate live stock commission merchant of St. Joseph, Mo., writes: “I have never heard of a hog buyer objecting to a lot of hogs because they had Berkshire blood in them, and the more of the Berkshire blood they had the better they liked them, both in shippers and killers, and will, in- variably pay more for them. ARMOUR PREFERS BERKSHIRES. A. E. Beggs, the well-known hog buyer for the Armour Packing Com- pany, writes: “I always prefer the Berkshire breed of hogs. Am satisfied from my experience in feeding hogs that | MORE PORK TO BUSHEL, more pounds of pork can be made with the same amount of corn fed to Berkshires than to any other breed. They (Berkshires) are better on their feet, less damaged hams, fewer cripples in shipping, making nicer meat, less jowl, less weight in head and feet. Always prefer them to any other breed if equally fat. ; BERKSHIRES OUTSELL. During the winter packing they usually sell from 5 to 10 cents higher than Poland Chinas. In summer they (Berkshires) outsell all competitors.” ShiCK TO BERKSHIRES. No kind of improved stock has paid a more certain and satisfactory investment for a term of years than the Berkshire hog, which is to-day the most staple article on the farm. Hon. N. H. Gentry has been engaged in the breeding of Berkshires for more than a quarter of a century, and has built up a trade that now reaches between $9,000 and $10,000 a year. He writes as follows: “My efforts in breed- Ing Berkshires have not been spasmodic, as with some who take great interest when prices are high and lose it again as soon as prices are reduced. I have watched my Berkshires and feed them with as much care and thought in times of depression as in times of good prices, believing that the only way to succeed, It is easy to throw away in one year, by poor care, poor feed and degeneration all that can be gained by hard work in a half dozen or more ears. ‘ “J have been breeding pure Berkshires for 25 years, and my family bred them here many years before that, and while I have bred no other kind, I have seen at our anuual shows the best specimens produced of the different breeds. My faith in the Berkshire is as firm as it ever was, backed by the reality that 1 have never seen the time that I could not sell good ones at as high prices as were being realized for animals of any breed. I do believe the large Berkshire has more good qualities and more friends throughout the country than any other hog.” 64 _ BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. BY D. E, SALMON, D. V. M., CHIEF BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY, PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE, INTRODUCTORY, The annual losses from hog cholera in the United States are unquestion- ably very heavy, for, although all diseases of swine are called cholera by people not familiar with them, scientific investigation has confirmed the? opin- ion of our farmers that we have a widespread and destructive plague to which the term hog cholera may be appropriately applied. The researches of the Bureau of Animal Industry, conducted in the most thorough and systematic manner and with the aid of all the appliances of modern science, have shown that there is another disease, called swine plague, which appears to be almost as common and fatal as hog cholera. These two diseases resemble each other very closely in their symptoms, and it requires an examination of the internal organs after the animal’s death, and in many cases a microscopical study, to clearly distinguish between them, Fortunately, we are able to formulate methods for the prevention, cure and eradication of these diseases which may be applied with the same suecess to both. Hog cholera and swine plague are not only similar in symptoms, but in their effect upon the bodies of the affected animals. They resemble each other in that both are caused by bacteria; they must be combatted by measures which will prevent exposure to these bacteria or destroy them after they have been introduced upon the premises, and the sick animals must be treated by remedies which will reduce the fever, stop the multiplication of the germs, and assist the affected organs in resuming their normal functions. The difficulty of distinguishing between the two diseases is, therefore, of no great consequence in the practical work of controlling them. It is im- portant to know that one or the other of these maladies is present, because this knowledge leads at once to the adoption of the measures applicable to the treatment of infectious diseases. Knowing that we have either hog cholera or swine plague to deal with, we are safe in carrying into effect the treatment recommended in this bulletin, because the agents which destroy one of these germs will generally destroy the other. There are other infectious diseases which sometimes attack hogs, but they have either not been introduced into this country or have never approached in their destructive character the two diseases named. The erysipelas of the continent of Europe appears to be the most fatal of the swine diseases in the countries where it is known. It has, however, never been recognized in America and probably has never been introduced on this continent. A few years ago it was proposed by enthusiastic though reckless investigators to in- troduce the virus of erysipelas as a vaccine for the prevention of hog cholera, The investigations of the Bureau showed, however, that the diseases were not similar; that hog cholera could not be prevented by the vaccine of erysipelas; and that the only effect of the proposed measure would be the introduction of a new plague, probably as destructive as the dreaded hog cholera. This incident is referred to because it is one of the clearest illustrations we could have of the value of the scientific investigations conducted by the yovernment and the necessity of an official institution in this country com- petent to give advice on such important questions. These diseases can only be managed in the light of a thorough knowledge of their nature and char- acters; otherwise. the chances are that efforts for their suppression will lead to harm rather than to beneficial results, Hog CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. 65 There is a disease known as anthrax which may attack all species of warm-blooded animals and sometimes affects the hogs in limited areas of this country, This disease does not spread from farm to farm with the rapidity nor to anything like the distance that is common with hog cholera. When it exists, cattle and sheep, and often horses, are also affected; and the hogs usually contract it from eating the carcasses of animals that have died with it. Anthrax is confined to certain regions of the country, and is seen in those regions year after year. It is not a common disease with hogs. These are about the only diseases liable to be mistaken for hog cholera and swine plague, and as one of them has never been seen in this country, and as the other is infrequent and more often affects other species of animals, it is plain that any contagious disease confined to swine which breaks out in this country is in all probability either hog cholera or swine plague. GENERAL CHARACTERS, Hog cholera and swine plague are both very fatal and destructive. ‘They affect hogs in all parts of the United States, and cause heavy losses, which have been estimated to reach from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 annually. Owing to the resemblance in the, features of the two diseases and the impossibility of distinguishing between them except by scientific investiga- tion, we can not say what proportion of this loss should be ascribed to one disease and what to the other. Both diseases are known to be common, and both spread by infection. Hog cholera is particularly fatal to young pigs, and often attacks them when the old hogs escape. The older animals have a greater power of resis- tance to the virus, and this power, which is also known as immunity, is in- creased when hogs have been exposed and only so slightly infected that they have recovered after an illness of some duration, or without showing any evident symptoms of the disease. In other words, if hog cholera breaks out among a herd of swine and is checked and apparently eradicated by medical treatment, the hogs that are saved are capable of resisting the contagion on the premises, while purchased hogs that have not been exposed will, when put with the others, contract the disease and die. This shows that the virus has remained upon the premises and the hogs have been saved not by the destruction of the contagion, but by keeping the infected hogs alive until they became immune. This is an important fact, and one which should be kept constantly in mind in applying measures of prevention. The virus of hog cholera is more tenacious, more resisting to the condi- tions which affect the vitality of bacteria than that of swine plague, and it is also more easily spread and communicated to healthy animals. Swine con- tract hog cholera by taking virus into the body with the food or drink, by in- hailing it with the air, and less frequently by its gaining entrance through _the surface of a fresh wound. On the other hand, the virus of swine plague is generally, if not always, taken into the lungs with the inhaled air. The time that elapses between infection and the appearance of the first symptoms of illness, known as the period of incubation, varies from four to twenty days. During this period the germs are multiplying slowly and are gradually overcoming the vital powers of the animal by means of poisonous substances which they produce as the result of their growth. SYMPTOMS. The symptoms of serious diseases of swine are not as characteristic as with the larger animals. In the most acute and most severe cases the ani- mals die very suddenly, either before sickness has been observed or after they have been ill but a few hours. Such cases are seen most frequently when the disease first appears in a herd. In the greater number of cases the prog- ress of the malady is slower, and there is consequently a much better oppor- tunity to observe the symptoms. There is first seen the signs of fever, shiv- ering, unwillingness to move, more or less loss of appetite, elevation of tem- perature which may reach 106° to 107° F.; the animals appear stupid and dull, and have a tendency to hide in the litter or bedding and remain covered by it. Thetbowels may be normal or constipated at the beginning of the at- tack, but later there is generally a liquid and fetid diarrhea, abundant, ex- 66 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK, . hausting, and persisting to the end. The eyes are at first congested and watery, but soon the secretion thickens, becomes yellowish, accumulates in the angles, and gums the lids together. The breathing is more rapid than usual and may be oppressed and labored in the later stages. There is a cough, which, however, is not very frequent, and generally heard when the animals are driven from their bed. It may be a single, dry cough, or it may be paroxysmal. The skin is often congested and red over the abdomen, inner surface of limbs, under surface of the neck, and on the ears. The color varies from a pinkish red to dark red or purple. An eruption is sometimes seen, which leaves crusts or scabs of various sizes over the skin. There is rapid loss of flesh, the animal grows weak, stands with arched back and the abdomen drawn up, and walks with a tottering, uncertain gait. There is less and less inclination or ability to move, and the weakness and exhaustion increase until death results. The symptoms of swine plague in many cases are not noticeably different from those of hog cholera, Frequently, however, the lungs are extensively inflamed in swine plague, and in that condition the breathing is more op- pressed and labored, and the cough more frequent and painful. The course of these diseases varies from one or two days to two or three weeks. , APPEARANCES ON POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. The germs of hog cholera have a habit of collecting or growing in clumps in the blood vessels, which leads to a plugging of the smaller vessels, with frequent rupture and escape of blood. This causes red spots where the blood leaves the vessels and collects.in the solid tissues. These spots are var- iously referred to as petechivw, ecchymoses, hemorrhages, and extravasations of blood. They are common ir hog cholera for the reasons given. In swine plague the bacteria are evenly diffused through the blood, never form plugs, and therefore hemorrhages from this cause are not seen. In the most acute forms of hog cholera the changes seen in the various organs consist principally of these red spots caused by hemorrhages of greater or less extent. j The spleen is generally enlarged to from two to four times its normal size, is soft, and engorged with blood. The blood extravasations are frequent in the lymphatic glands; beneath the serous membranes of the thorax and abdomen, and particularly along the intestines; on the surface and in the substance of the lungs and kidneys; on the mucous surface of the stomach and intestines; and in the connective tissue beneath the skin. The contents of the intestines are sometimes covered with clotted blood. The diseases of Europe which appear very closely related to our swine plague (schaveineseuche, wildseuche) also have a hemorrhagic form, but this has not been observed in Aw.erica, although hemorrhagic inflammation of the stomach and intestines has been seen in swine plague, Cases of s wine plague with external swellings caused by an infiltration of yellow lymph in the sub- cutaneous connective tissue, generally of the neck, have been seen, but are rare in this country. The subacute and chronic forms of hog cholera and swine plague are more common. In this form of hog cholera the principal changes are found in the large intestine and consist of ulcers which appear as circular, slightly pro- jecting masses varying in color from yellowish to black. Occasionally these ulcers are slightly depressed and uneven in outline. When cut across, they are found to consist of a firm, solid growth extending nearly through the in. testinal wall. They are most frequent in the cecum, upper half of the colon, and on the ileo-ezcal valve. In the chronic form of the disease the spleen is rarely enlarged; the lymphatic glands of the affected intestine are enlarged and tough. In the more accurate cases Jung lesions may be found, varying from collapse and cedema of the lung tissue to bronco mmeumonia. In swine plague the lungs are often funnd inflamed, and to contain Jarge numbers of small points, which may be made out by loss of color, where the life of the tissue has been destroyed (necrotic foci). There may be also found in the lungs large cheese-like masses from 114g to 2 inches in diameter. In- Hoe CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. 67 flammation of the serous membranes is very common in swine plague, and this may be found affecting the pleura, dericardium, and peritoneum, accom- panied with fibrinous, inflammatory deposits on the surface of these mem- branes. There may be congestion of the mucous membrane of the intestines, particularly of the large intestine; or the disease in this region may be more intense and led to a croupous inflammation with the formation of a fibrinous exudative deposit on the surface. In hog cholera the first effect of the disease is believed to be upon the intestines, with secondary invasion of the lungs. In swine plague the first effect 1s believed to be upon the lungs, and the invasion of the intestines -a subsequent process. Briefly reviewing these changes, we find that the most characteristic lesions of hog cholera consists of: (1) Hemorrhages, particularly in the subcutaneous, submucous, and sub- serous connective tissue; in the lymphatic glands, and in the various organs of the body. (2) Ulcerations of the large intestines. ' (3) Collapse of lung tissue, and, less frequently, broncho-pneumonia, The most characteristic lesions of swine plague are: (1) Inflammation of lungs; numerous small necrotic points in these organs or a few larger cheesy masses. (2) Inflammation of serous membranes with flbrinous deposits. (8) Congestion of mucous membrane of intestine, or inflammation of the same with fibrinous deposits. Notwithstanding this clear difference in typical cases, there are many, outbreaks where it is difficult to make a diagnosis even after post-mortem examination, because both diseases may be affecting the same animal at the same time, or the changes may resemble both diseases without being very characteristic of either. In such cases it is only by microscopic examination -and cultivation of the germs that a reliable diagnosis can be made. THE CAUSE OF THESE DISEASES. Both hog cholera and swine plague are caused by bacteria, which have now been so carefully studied that they may be easily identified by persons accustomed to bacteriological researches. The hog cholera germs are slightly Jarger and more elongated than those of the swine plague; they are provided with flagella, or long thread-like appendages, which enable them to move rapidly in liquids; while the swine plague germs have no such organs, and are unable to move except as they are carried by the liquid in which they float. Hog cholera bacteria, when inoculated in minute doses, are fatal to mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and in large doses may kill pigeons. Swine plague germs are fatal to these animals and also to fowls. Hog cholera may be produced experimentally (1) by exposing well hogs to diseased ones in the same pens; (2) by feeding the internal organs of diseased carcasses or cultures of the germs; (3) by hypodermic injection of cultures of the germs in doses of one-half to 1 cc. or greater. Swine plague may be produced experimentally (1) by cohabitation; (2) by injecting cultures of the germs into the lung tissue. _ In some outbreaks the swine plague germs may produce the disease if they are injected hypodermically, but as a rule the swine plague of this country can not be communicated in that way. Cultures of the bacteria of swine plague have been fed to hogs, and have been sprayed into the air which they were breathing, without causing the disease. Both diseases are produced by injecting cultures of their respective germs directly into the blood vessels. From the results of experiments with these diseases it has been concluded that the germs of hog cholera find their way into the bodies of swine prin- cipally with the food and drink and with the inspirec air; while those of - swine plague are taken almost entirely with the air, or, at least, they almost invariably gain entrance through the lungs. : Hog cholera germs are very hardy and vigorous. They are able to multiply and live for a long time in thé water of ponds and streams; they may live in the soil for at least three months, and in accumulations of straw and litter s 68 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. for a much longer time; they withstand drying and other adverse conditions in a remarkable manner. The swine plague germs, on the contrary, are very delicate and easily destroyed. They soon perish in water or by drying; the temperature for their growth must be more constant and every condition of life more favorable than is required for the hog cholera germs. The swine plague germs are widely distributed in nature and are probably present in all herds of swine, but they are not deadly to these animals except when their virulence has been increased or the resistance of the animals diminished by some unusual conditions. The hog cholera germs, on the contrary, are not usually present and must be introduced from infected herds before the disease can be de- veloped. The swine plague germs may acquire sufficient virulence, by en- countering proper conditions on one farm, to spread to adjoining farms in the same manner as hog cholera. There are, hence, practically the same condi- tions to guard against in the prevention of the two diseases. DIAGNOSIS. The first question that occurs to the owner of swine when disease ap- pears among his animals is, What is the disease with which they are affected ? It is important to briefly consider in this place the nature of the evidence upon which this question is to be answered. If several animals are affected at once with the symptoms already enu- merated, and if the same disease has been affecting the hogs on neighboring farms, we may decide that one or both of the diseases in question are pres- ent, since no other epizootic disease has been recognized in this country. In anthrax districts there may be occasional small outbreaks of that disease, in which there is great inflammation and swelling of the tongue (glossanthrax), or of the throat (anthrax angina), or simply a fever with no local swellings. If the disease is anthrax, or other species of animals, horses, cattle and sheep, will also be affected. If, on examining the carcass after death, projecting button-like ulcers are found in the large intestines, we know that hog cholera is present. It must be remembered, however, that these ulcers are not found in the most acute cases, but only in the subacute or chronic form of the disease where life is prolonged a sufficient time for them to form, If there is inflammation of the lungs and particularly if cheese-like . masses are found in the substance of these organs, the disease is probably swine plague. Small blood spots in the tissues or scattered over the internal organs in- dicate hog cholera, while inflammation of the serous membranes indicates swine plague. A bacteriological examination is the final test, but neither this nor in- oculation experiments are available to the farmer, for whose use this bulletin is prepared. PROGNOSIS. The losses which result from outbreaks ef hog cholera and swine plague depend partly upon the condition of the hogs—that is, upon their suscepti- bility to the disease—and partly upon the virulence of the contagion in the particular outbreak. If the animals are very susceptible and the contagion very virulent, the loss even in large herds may reach 90 to 95 or even 100 per cent in those cases where the disease is allowed to run its course. In milder outbreaks or with animals more capable of resisting the contagion the losses vary from 20 to 60 per cent. Toward the end of an outbreak a larger propor- tion of animals will recover than at the beginning. A portion of those re- covering will fatten, but others remain lean, stunted in their growth, or never become really healthy animals. THE TREATMENT OF HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. Can hog cholera be cured? and, if so, what remedy will restore the diseased animals to health? These are the first questions asked by the swine- grower, and to his mind this should be the objective point of all investiga- tions. With all diseases of this class, however, prevention is cheaper and in HoG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. 69 every way more satisfactory than medical treatment. The great aim of the Government and the farmers should be, therefore, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Kvyery swine-grower should use the utmost precautions to prevent the introduction of these plagues into his herd. In spite of such preventive measures many herds will become infected. Until the Federal Government or the individual states enforce measures of eradication, it is, consequently, legitimate to ask and to answer the question as to the proper medical treatment. Before formulating this treatment it should be explained that a remedy which will cure every case is not to be expected. There has never been dis- covered a remedy for a single one of the infectious diseases of man or animals which will cure every individual attacked. Some forms of these diseases are so violent and rapid that the animals are dead almost before they are observed to be sick. Under such conditions there is not time for the most active remedy to produce a beneficial effect. In many outbreaks the type of the malady is less virulent and there is time to treat the animals after they are sick, and also the whole herd after some members of it have shown that they are diseased. For a long time after beginning the investigations of the infectious diseases of swine, the writer was doubtful if any remedy or combination of remedies could be made which would produce any marked effect. The experiments of the last year, however, indicate that treatment if properly applied may be successful. With the assistance of Dr. E. A. de Schweinitz, chemist of the Bureau, and Dr. V. A. Norgaard, inspector, a number of formulas have been developed and used in the field with good results, The most eflicacious formula which has been tried is the following: Pounds. BR MBTEETE ISIS.

The dose of this mixture is a large tablespoonful for each 200 pounds weight of hogs to be treated, and it should be given only once a day. When hogs are affected with these diseases they should not be fed on corn alone, but they should have at least once a day soft feed, made by mixing bran and middjings, or middlings and corn meal, or ground oats and corn, or crushed wheat with hot water, and then stiring into this the proper quantity of the medicine. Hogs are fond of this mixture, it increases their appetite, and when they once taste of food with which it has been mixed they will eat it though nothing else would tempt them. Animals that are very sick and that will not come to the feed should be drenched with the medicine shaken up with water. Great care should be exercised in drenching hogs or they will be suffocated. Do not turn the hog on its back to drench it, but pull the cheek away from the teeth so as to form a pouch, into which the medicine may be slowly poured. It will flow from the cheek into the mouth, and when the hog finds out what it is, it will stop squealing and swallow. In our exprriments hogs which were so sick that they would eat nothing have commenced to eat very soon after getting a dose of the remedy, and have steadily improved until they appeared perfectly well. This medicine may also be used as a preventive of these diseases, and for this purpose should be put in the feed of the whole herd. Care should of course be observed to see that each animal receives its proper share. In cases where it has been given a fair trial, it has apparently cured most of the animals which were sick and has stopped the progress of the disease in the herds. It also appears to be an excellent appetizer and stimulant of the pro- cesses of digestion and assimilation, and when given to unthrifty hogs it in- creases the appetite, causes them to. take on flesh, and assume a thrifty appearance, 40 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. This is a resume of the reports from the tests of this medicine during the last year, and while I should prefer, from a scientific point of view, to continue these experiments for another year before venturing to recommend it as a remedy for these diseases, the many urgent requests which have been made upon me for the formula lead me to give it in time for it to be tried by our farmers during the current year. Those who are interested in this subject are earnestly requested to try this mixture and report their results to this Bureau for the benetit of the hog-raising industry. Success or failure with this remedy depends largely upon the manner in which it is used. If it is improperly administered, or the hogs left out in cold storms and compelled to remain day and night in mud six inches or a foot deep, under the necessity of searching through this mud to find an ear of corn in order to get anything to eat, the farmer might as well save his money and let his hogs die, as nothing which we have been able to find will save them under such conditions. If, on the other hand, the sick animals can be made reasonably comfortable, and given soft, easily digested food to eat, the medicine, of which we have just given the formula, may be used with confidence that it will give good returns for its cost and the trouble of its administration. In treating hogs for these diseases it must not be forgotten that in nearly all cases there is more or less inflammation of the internal organs, and par- ticularly of the stomach and intestines. To treat such diseases successfully the animals should be kept dry and comfortable, and where drafts of air will not blow upon them. The food must be such as can be digested by the irritated and inflamed organs which are charged with this function. With these general principles in mind the farmer may undertake to treat his sick hogs with a fair prospect of success. He may not save them all, but he should be able to preserve a good proportion of them. The question now arises, What disposition should be made of the hogs during treatment, and what sanitary measures should be adopted in addition to the medical treatment? When the hogs are first found to be affected with hog cholera or swine plague the lot or pens where they have been con- fined should be disinfected by dusting plentifully with dry, air-slaked lime, . or by sprinkling with a 5 per cent solution of crude carbolic acid. The animals should then all be moved to new quarters. If possible, the sick and apparently well should be separated before they are moved and then put into different lots. This is not essential, but it is an aid to the treatment. The hogs should be kept in dry lots, or pens, where there is no mud, and, above all, no stagnant water. It is well to keep these lots disinfected by the free use of air-slaked lime or carbolic acid. It is not expected by this supplementary treatment that the hogs will be entirely removed from the influence and attacks of germs. This is not neces- sary. The number of germs which gain access to their bodies may be so reduced by following this plan, however, that the vital force of the system, assisted by the medicine, is sufficient to overcome them. During this treatment the hogs gain a marked degree of immunity. No doubt this is the result of attacks of the disease from which they recover. This recovery is in spite of the continued infection of the premises, and even though the hogs which have gone through the outbreak are apparently well and thriving, new hogs added to the herd are liable to be attacked. For this reason five or six months should be allowed to pass before any new hogs are purchased and brought on the premises or before any are sold to be put among other lots of hogs. Young pigs born under such conditions in some cases are able to resist the infection, while in other cases they may suffer severely or die. : If any hogs die during the progress of the outbreak their carcasses should be immediately burned or deeply buried, and the places where they have lain or the ground over which they are dragged should be disinfected with car- bolic acid or lime according to the method already mentioned. SANITARY MEASURES TO PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE. The swine-grower should use every: effort to prevent the introduction of the contagion of these diseases upon his premises. If he purchases hogs from Hoa CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE, “1 a distance or sends his own animals for exhibition at the fairs, he should insist upon their being transported in clean cars, which have been disinfected if they have previously carried swine. When new hogs are brought upon the farm or when his own return from exhibition, they should be rigidly quar- antined and not allowed to come in contact with the other hogs on the tarm for at least six weeks. Hogs should not be allowed to run at large in the vicinity of railroads over which swine are transported. Infected hogs are frequently shipped to market, and there are suflicient droppings from the cars in which they are carried to scatter the contagion along the railroad for the whole distance they travel. When these diseases appear upon a neighboring farm precautions should be adopted to prevent the introduction of the contagion. No one should go upon the fields or into the pens where the sick animals are and then go to another farm where the disease has not appeared. Remember that a particle of manure ur dirt the size of a mustard seed from an infected farm is suf- ficient to start an outbreak that will destroy a herd of swine. A particle of that size may be carried upon the shoes of a visitor, upon the foot of a dog or other animal, upon a wagon wheel, or in a multitude of other ways. Non- intercourse at such a time is therefore the safest rule. Experience shows that hogs kept up in a pen or small lot are less sub- ject to infection when cholera is in the neighborhood than those which are allowed to run at large or in the fields, It is, consequently, advisable, when there is reason to fear this disease, to keep the hogs in a small inclosure, which should be as dry as possible, and disinfected once a week with air- slacked lime or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. A small quantity of carbolic acid (3 to 15 drops, according to age) in the drinking water tends to Bieyent infection and may have a beneficial influence upon the course of the isease, PREVENTION. OF DISEASE BY PROPER BREEDING AND FEEDING, There is occasionally a herd of swine that does not contract hog cholera even though exposed to the contagion. Two herds may sometimes run to- gether and be exposed to the same extent; one will be nearly or quite de- stroyed, while the other does not suffer. These facts naturally lead to the inquiry as to whether it is possible to so breed and feed hogs as to largely or entirely prevent the most common diseases. To what extent disease may be preyented in this way, we are not in a position to state, as we are not familiar with enough experiments to enable us to reach a conclusion. It ig clear, however, that something can be accomplished in this way, and as the carrying out of the plan would also increase the hardiness and thriftiness of of the swine it is certainly worthy of adoption. . The first principle of this method of prevention is to breed only from mature breeding stock which is only distantly or not at all related. The second principle is to select, if possible, animals for breeding stock which have shown, by having passed through an outbreak without having become affected, that they possess a power of resisting hog cholera. The third princi- ple is to feed the growing shoats upon a variety of food which will lead to normal and harmonious development of all the different organs. The appli- cation of these principles must be made by the individual breeder in accord- ance with his circumstances and surrounding conditions. The breeding from mature animals which are not closely related can be easily adopted by anyone. The selection of stock which has shown that it possesses a power of resisting the disease is much more difficult, and in many cases it will be impossible for the general farmer, though there are many breeders who could experi- ment in this direction. The diet of corn alone, upon which the hogs of so Jarge a part of the country are raised, has done more than anything else to weaken the vital powers of these animals. With wheat selling in the markets of the country as low as corn, there is no Jonger any excuse for limiting the food of hogs to a single grain. Wheat is much better than corn for growing animals, but should be crushed or rolled to give the best results. Ground oats, middlings, bran, and peas may also be used to give variety. It is hardly necessary to 72 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. ” add that during the warm months of the year hogs should have plenty of young grass or clover. By intelligently applying these principles in the production of the breed- ing stock a strain of animals may be developed which is hardy, vigorous, prolific, and much more capable of resisting disease than is the ordinary inbred and corn-fed stock which is now so generally used by the farmers of this country. This bulletin is prepared for the practical use of the farmer; it is in- tended to be suggestive rather than exhaustive; it contains the important points necessary for identifying and controlling the infectious diseases of swine. If its teachings are intelligently and thoroughly followed the losses from these diseases may be greatly reduced. Experience having demonstrated that such beneficial results are possible, it has been deemed best to present this information in a condensed and popular form. Volume XIII of the American Berkshire Record Has been Issued. The Illinois State Register office has just completed Volume XIII of the American Berkshire Record, which, in mechanical appearance, is not surpass- ed by a volume of pedigrees published by any other live stock association in the United States. Volume 13 of the American Berkshire Record is the largest and most complete book published by the association, and contains a vast amount of information of great interest to the breeder. The best evidence of the great prosperity of the American Berkshire Asso- ciation that could be furnished is this large, handsome volume of over 600 pages. Pedigrees numbering from 26,001 to 30,000 are tabulated in said book. Over 3,400 transfers of Berkshires are noted in the volume, representing sales estimated at nearly $100,000, The index to breeders and owners, covering over 110 closely printed pages, includes the names of all the active breeders of Berkshires residing in the United States. The magnitude of the operations of the American Berkshire Association can in a measure be determined by the index to volume 13, which cover nearly 150 printed pages. The Champion Berkshire Herds awarded the state prizes of the American Berkshire Association are noted in this volume. A full report of the Berkshire exhibit at the World’s Columbian Exposi- tion is given in volume 13, which is worth more to every breeder of Berkshires than the small price asked for this large book, which is only $5 per copy. The Illinois State Register has been awarded the contract for printing volume 14 of the American Berkshire Record, which closed December 14, 1894, with 5,000 pedigrees. E Volume 14 will be printed as rapidly as the care necessary to ensure ac- curacy will permit. Col. Chas. F. Mills, the Secretary of the American Berkshire Association, has been making large shipments of the recently completed volume to parties in Canada and all parts of the United States —Jllinois State Register.

PRIZE HERDS. Breeders who make creditable exhibits of Berkshires at the Fairs, widely advertise the breed, and create a demand for boars and sows for breeding purposes that benetits all who are engaged in raising such stock. No better evidence of a man’s confidence in the excellence of his berkshires can be pre- sented than his willingness to meet all competitors at the Fairs, and by com- parison démonstrate the superior quality ot his stock. Breeders of Berkshires who expect to retain their trade and increase the demand for their stock, will find it necessary to give the general public fre- quent opportunity for a personal inspection of their stock at the county and State Fairs.

MICHIGAN—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By .N. A. CLAPP, Wixom, MIcH. Many pleasant recollections cluster around the history of Berkshire breeding in Michigan. Their admirers and owners have invariably been whole-souled, genial fellows, and possessed of considerable sagacity, making them capable of appreciating a good thing when they saw it, The first advent of the Berkshire in the State was some time before ped- igree was justly considered or records for swine pedigrees thought of. The “razor backs,” “land sharks” and “long nosed rvoters” were too slow to mature to be profitable consumers of the grain and refuse material of the farm. On account of their early maturity, excellent form and superior quality of flesh, _the Berks became, among thoughtful, advancing and aggressive farmers, a favorite. Other breeds have been brought forward, challenging attention, ad- miration and adoption, flourished for a period of time, some for a short time and some longer, and receded to the background. At the State Fair of 1894, when the different breeds were out making one of the largest and best hog shows ever seen in the State, the Berkshires proved their ascendency by out- numbering any two or three of the other breeds there represented. Strange as it may seem, many prefer an imitation to a genuine article. The most enthusiastic breeders of the later breeds are constantly calling atten- tention to some particular points in their hogs that are “like a Berkshire,” thus admitting that the Berkshire is the true standard which they are aiming to approach. The question arises: Why not secure the Berkshire, the ne plus ultra of true excellence, instead of wasting time and feed, aiming at some- thing that will take a hundred years to accomplish. We are at present passing through an unprecedented period of depression, farm products are cheap and other stock is low in price, and yet the demand for good Berkshires seems to be increasing and former prices sustained. During the last year we have sold more Berkshires to men who were estab- lishing new herds than ever before in one year of the twenty-five we have been in the business. For the careful, skillful breeder the outlook is encour- aging. ARKANSAS—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By ELiis DUNCAN, FAYETTVILLE, ARK. Berkshires have at various times been brought into the State, but regis- tered herds (so far as I have been able to ascertain) were not established until 1887, when T. G. Duncan, Jr., started to breeding at this place, This was soon followed by the Springdale Farmers’ Club purchasing of Mr. Gentry a sow bred to Longfellow. After this, other purchases of Gentry and several of Jas. Riley, and one of Suell’s breeding were made; these being good individuals and well bred, did much towards bringing the Berkshire to the front in the western part of the State and as far down the river as Little Rock. During this time the Tennessee breeders were sending in some good stock on the east, so that at present there are a number of small herds of good hogs scat- tered over the State and others have or will be started this year. The Berk- shires that have come in have mostly been good ones, and if breeders will only send good hogs they can look for quite a good trade in this State. Arkansas is the thirteenth State in number of hogs, and yet the south is only started in this direction, and the spirit of improvement is upon the people, so it is not likely that they will be satisfied with the quality of stock they are breeding, especially is this likely to prove true when we look at the advances in most other directions. The Berkshire gives splendid satisfaction in this climate with the surround- ings given, and they are almost universally the choice of the people. The low price at which cotton has sold the past two years has encouraged many to try hogs and corn and their success will cause more to take hold of these mortgage lifters. Berksuire YEAR Book. 147 WISCONSIN—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By A. A. ARNOLD, GALESVILLE, WIS. é The outlook for Berkshire hogs never was equal to the present. This state of affairs has come about principally by reason of narrower margins, necessitated by strong competition, and also for this reason, that farmers are counting the cost of production, studying the markets and conducting their business more and more intelligently, thus encouraging investigation of the merits of the different breeds. The Berkshire hog as he has been improved within the last decade will stand the severest criticism. He is the model hog; is the most prolific; has the most high priced flesh; is a prime forager and rustler, and stands well on his feet when fat for the butcher. The Poland China (the next best hog) lacks many of the good qualities of the Berkshire and excels them in none, unless it be that he is more slothful, but this counts for nothing in taking on flésh, when both are well fed, which is the only profitable way to handle any kind of breed. As a breeder for twenty-five years I have found that they are more pro- lific than other breeds, and the best mothers. They are generally good milkers and the pigs run quite even. The pigs come small and I have never had trouble with them in farrowing. The hog in his natural state lives on nuts and herbs, is a good mother and prolific breeder, and the Berkshire seems to have retained these desirable qualities. As a shipper I find that they outsell any other breed. This is mostly for the reason that they are the trimest built hog, not too heavy bound, even fleshed, broad backs, standing well on their feet, nice even lots, sell the best and the good lookers will always bring from five to fifty cents per hundred more at any time in the market than inferior lots. A solid colored animal never looks as large as a spotted animal, there- fore the Berkshire always weighs more than they look. Having more muscle than other breeds they weigh more than others of same size, as muscle weighs more than the same bulk of fat. Ten years ago you could hardly find a Berk- shire at the fairs, whereas now there is strong competition in this breed— stronger than in any other. My sales are constantly increasing and I find this true of all good brgeders of Berkshires. The hog will always be the best animal to pay off the mort- gages in this corn country, and when the people come to fully understand the difference there is in the product and profits in the breeds there will be ny more room or need for anything but “the Berkshire hog, the farmers’ best riend.” PENNSYLVANIA—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. (By D. E. HORNER, GREENVILLE, PA.) The Berkshire is growing rapidly in favor in Pennsylvania, and is fast becoming the favored hog in this State. The demand for Berkshires during the past three has exceeded anything in my ten years experience as a breeder of Berkshires. The large demand for good, well bred Berkshires of the leading families is better each month in this State. The outlook for the breeder of Berkshires is very favorable. I feel certain that good Berkshires of fancy breeding will be in much larger demand than heretofore, as our best farmers and breeders are making large purchases for breeding purposes, having become convinced that there is more money and better quality of pork for the breeder Ne consumer of the Berkshires than can be obtained from any other breed of swine. 148 BERKSHIRE YEAR Book. . iii FLORIDA—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. . By T. A. VINCENT, RIVER VIEW, FLORIDA. Florida is not generally considered a stock-breeding country. The climate is excessively hot for eight months of the year and the land generally is very poor. On the small percentage of good land in the state, and with favorable seasons, an abundance of feed for pigs may be grown, viz: Corn, purdars, chufas, cassava, sweet potatoes, ete. Farmers on our good lands are able to succeed very well with Berkshires. I have no hesitation in saying that all who have thoroughly tested the Berk- shires have been satisfied that they are the best hog for Florida. The Berkshire stands the heat wonderfully and are even more free from - disease than the wild Razorback hog of this country. Care must be taken not to have the Berkshire too fat or heavy from May to November, as breeding stock feel the heat considerably. Owing to the difliculty of not having cool enough weather for curing pork, it does not pay to fatten hogs for bacon or for hams, except for family use. It does, however, pay well to raise porkers to sell for the fresh pork trade. The demand this year has been steadily increasing for better bred hogs, but it may be years before really first-class prices will be given for first-class stock in Florida. ' The most encouraging sign is that farmers are beginning to realize here that they must improve the native hog, as the scrub does not pay for his keep. The people, as they recover from the disaster to the orange groves, resulting from the freezing weather of 1894 and 1895, will demand a better hog. All who see my Berkshires want them, and the only thing that interferes with sales is want of cash. All our people want the Berkshire, and readily acknowledge that they are every way superior to any hogs they have seen. NO. CAROLINA—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By R. R. BEAL, Munrpny, N. C. The Berkshire industry in North Carolina is steadily growing. The Berk- shires were not much known in this section until a few years ago. I have tried several breeds of hogs, but have discarded all but the Berkshire. There is a growing demand for Berkshires for breeding purposes in this State. The Berkshires give universal satisfaction and are a favorite. BERKSHIRE YEAR Book, 149 CALIFORNIA—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By C. H. Sesstons, Los ANGELES, CAL. While there have been thoroughbred swine in California for several years, the quality of the fat hogs sold our packers and butchers would not indicate the genera] use of pure bred sires. There is certainly a very promising field for missionary work in the introduction of thoroughbred stock among the farmers and stock breeders of this State. I frequently receive letters making inquiry for Berkshires from parties who say that there. are no thoroughbred hogs in their, vicinity. It is surprising that breeders feeding hogs for the butcher will continue to raise the “razor back” hog, when thoroughbred sires could be purchased for such a small sum. Well bred pigs can be fattened on half the feed it takes to grow the scrub, and the improved stock can be fattened for the market in half the time. There ought to be a large increase in the demand for pure bred Berkshires in this State, on account of the large proportion of native or scrub stock. It is hard to make some men believe there is any profit in buying a sire for $20, when the improvement in the quality of a single litter would be increased more than that amount. OHIO—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By C, A. KELLOGG, CLARIDON, OHIO. At no time has the breeding of Berkshires been so marked and full of encouragement as at the present time. The breeders of Ohio have a golden opportunity in the near future, if they will grasp the situation. The demand for animals of choice breeding and typical of the breed is fast increasing; new herds are being established and the progressive farmers are buying males to mate and improve other breeds now on hand, NEBRASKA—THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By J. W. TOWNLEY, OCTAVIA, NEB. The writer is convinced that no industry has paid the. general farmer in Nebraska better returns than the raising and feeding well bred hogs. For all practical purposes, including shipment to market, and quality of pork for home consumption, the Berkshire stands second to none, The sale of Berkshires for breeding purposes has been profitable to the breeder who makes a specialty of producing the best specimens for use in improving the many breeds by the introduction of the best blood. The many excellent qualities of the Berkshire and the zeal of most of their breeders has made the breed very popular, and great strides in public favor have been made during the past two years. The trade of Berkshire breeders of well bred stock of good individuality has been large and on the increase. Breeders of Berkshires report good de- mand and the advertiser has generally sold all his surplus stock. Some of the influences that have contributed to the growing trade in Berkshires are the superior qualities of the breed and the earnest efforts the breeders have made in the exhibitlon of good animals at the State and county fairs. The advent of alfalfa clover and the partial failure of the corn crop the past two seasons has demonstrated the advantage of raising a hog with good grazing qualities. The Berkshire will make good growth on grass and can be fed profitably for the market at any age, and will stand shipping to market with- out breaking down. The western farmer needs a hog that is active and well adapted for feeding after cattle. The great vitality of the Berkshire, sharp eyes, fine upright or slightly drooping ears, and alert movement, make them the best for feeding with other stock. In point of symmetry, size and quality the Berkshire is unrivaled. While the trade in Berkshires has been remarkable in the past the outlook is more encouraging than heretofore. Alfalfa is without doubt the great forage plant for Nebraska. The acreage seeded to this crop is rapidly increasing each year. Alfalfa starts very early in the spring and grows until late in the fall. It is an excellent feed for Berkshires and other kinds of stock. When we have the normal amount of rain good crops of corn an oats-are raised. Artichokes do well in this State and are a great boon to the breeder and feeder of hogs. Our hog feeders have a good market at Omaha and the present conditions and future outlook are certainly more encouraging for the swine breeder than in the past. 150 BERKSHIRE YEAR BOOK. APPENDIX.

The Greatest Collection of English Winners ever on one Farm. We import more Berkshires from England, in a year, than all others combined, we believe. For years we have been first in the field, and each year have secured all the pick, regardless of price. Through that famous Judge and Breeder, Mr. Edney Hayter, we are kept well informed as to what there is in England, and his orders are to secure dll the best, regardless of price, as well as to reserve for us the cream of his own far-famed prize winning herd. Our breeding herd here, consists of the pick of ** All the best English sows” we have imported, and are headed by (at least ) four of the greatest English boars ever at the head of any herd, viz: The King of Berkshire Boars, LORD WIN DSOR ¢ 30461 ' winner of 25 first and champion prizes at all the best shows in England and America, a record without a parallel. Compeditors considered his weight over 800 pounds, price refused by us for him $1000. He is assisted by IMPORTED FITZCURZON 3053I, Winner of Ist at the best shows in England in 1893 as aged boar, an enormous big hog, said to have weighed over 1000 pounds in June, 1893, a pure Sallie in breeding. The above is assisted by GREAT EASTERN 34730, The best boar in England in 1894, weighing over 800 pounds at 16 months and never beaten in his class in 1893. The fourth comer of this famous quartette of English boars is MASTER HIGHCLERE 33146, The deepest bodied, shortest legged boar, we believe, in America, a winner at St. Louis and New York State Fairs. A grand impor- tation is now on the way from England, including the Champion Boar and Sow of the season as well as 10 other winners. A grand lot of pigs here for sale. Young sows, boars and young pigs of the same type as those we showed at the American.
