Avoid Hog Cholera-Little is known
regarding the life history of the germs
outside Of the body. but it is known that
the disease cannot develop without
their presence. AS medical treatment
of the diseased animals has given very
unsatisfactory results, and it was
found to be far more important to
prevent the disease getting an en-.
trance into the system than to at.
tempt to cure, it became the OBJ.
ject Of this preliminary study to

formed by one writer that swine were |
fed on dried figs and honeyed wine in !
order to produce a disordered or dis |

definite period. Its path has not been
a smooth one. Much of the meat was
shipped to Belgium. but a hue and CRY
was raised there against American
horse meat, and the Belgians prohibited
the entry of the meat. Some that was
shipped to Japan was thrown into the
sea. there being no market for it
Therefore the factory shut down afte,
it had disposed Of about 1000 horses.
