to that, reader, just get a trough and put in the remedy, and pour the
slop to their mother, and the milk will be just as effective to the
pigs as the remedy is with the sow.

This Stephen's Remedy for Hog Cholera, if studied and observed, will be
worth from $100.00 to $1,000.00 to every farmer or hog trader, where
Cholera has ever been; and there is no trouble or expense to have the
benefit of it. This very little book is worth its weight in gold. The
countries where they have no Hog Cholera are rocky and hilly, sandy and
limy, where the hog can get this remedy, and Providence has so taught
the animal that nature dictates to him the remedy. See the dog, when he
is sick, he knows how to take an emetic, vomit, and get well; so it is
with the hog, if he can find this remedy he hardly ever takes Cholera.

In addition to those cures as a prevention of the disease, use
Asafetida, as follows: Cut in small pieces about one ounce; melt it in
water or grease, pour it in rich slop. Feed it to about ten hogs, once
per week in Hog Cholera season, more or less according to number of
hogs. If you will keep up these remedies your swine will keep healthy.
Keep the sick ones and well ones separate. If you have clover keep the
sick ones on it, it is healthy for hogs.

ON TREATMENT.

A little further advice concerning the treatment of hogs when penned
for fattening; hogs should be penned on rolling ground if possible;
they fatten better and consume less corn; they should be salted twice a
week. The way to salt is as follows: If there is no decaying stump in
the pen, haul a rotten log and pour salt on it, and the hogs will use
all the salt and waste none; and the demands of nature will have them
use just enough and no more; this preparation will save 2-1/2 bushels
of corn to every hog, which is $1.00--quite an item where you have a
large pen of hogs. Salt your stock hogs in the same way. When you have
used Stephen's Remedies one year, you would not be without this
knowledge for any small amount, for your hogs will be healthy and
prosperous. If the reader has only one hog per year, it will pay him to
buy this book in relation to the breed of hogs. I don't know that I
could enlighten you on this subject, for the world's attention is
directed to that information, and perhaps, reader, you are as well
posted on that subject as your humble writer. For the western country,
as a hardy and profitable stock of thrifty hogs, the Berkshire mixed
