|                BANISH HOG VERMIN AND DISEASES                        |
|                                                                        |
|To make a success of hog raising, dipping is almost as essential as     |
|feeding.  At least it is second only to proper feeding.                  |
|                                                                        |
|Lice and vermin, the comfort-destroyers and profit-reducers, and the    |
|germs which cause cholera and tuberculosis, are exterminated by the     |
|regular use of                                                          |
|                                                                        |
|                 PRATTS DIP AND DISINFECTANT                          |
|                                                                        |
|Put the hogs and pigs through the dipping vat and spray the quarters and|
|feed receptacles occasionally with a strong solution of the original    |
|Pratts Dip and Disinfectant.  Result--comfortable, vermin-free and       |
|disease-free hogs, less loss, more pork, more money.                    |
|                                                                        |
|[Illustration:  Pratts Animal Dip]                                   |

|There are other dips that look like the original Pratts, but they are   |
|not the same in efficiency.  Refuse the substitutes.  Use Pratts, the dip |
|you can depend upon.  It costs no more but it’s worth more!  You be the   |
|judge--                                                                 |
|                                                                        |

The quarters in which the sickness first appeared should be thoroughly cleaned, all bedding and rubbish burned, and loose boards and old partitions torn out and burned.  If the pen is old, knock it to pieces and burn it.  Disinfect pens and sleeping places using Pratts Dip and Disinfectant on the floors, walls and ceilings.  Whitewash everything.  If a hog dies from any cause, the carcass should never be exposed where it may be devoured by the other hogs or by passing birds or beasts, but should be burned at once or buried deeply and the pens thoroughly disinfected immediately.  If possible, do not move the carcass from the place where it falls; but if this cannot be done the ground over which it is dragged should be disinfected.  Hog-cholera bacilli can live in the ground for at least three months.  Care must be taken to maintain an absolute quarantine between the sick and well hogs.  The same attendant should not care for both lots unless he disinfects himself thoroughly after each visit to the infected hogs.  Dogs should be confined until the disease is stamped out.
