SAVING THE HOGS.
Government Experiments In
Curing Hog Cholera.
Serum Treatment Has Been Dis
covered to Be Entirely Effective
Good For the Farmers.

Washington, Oct. 27.-During the past
two years the the department of agricul-
ture has conducted a series of expert
ments in the use of serum as remedy
for hogs afflicted by cholera or swine
plague. The experiments were conduct
ed by Dr. d. Salmon, chief of the bureau
of animal industry, and the results were
eminently satisfactory, proving that the
dreaded disease can be successfully
treated easily and inexpensively. The
Losses suffered by the farmers of the
United States annually from hog cholera
aggregate an enormous cum. In Iowa
alone, during 1896, it is estimated that
the hog -raisers lost, through the ravages
of the disease, $4,000 600. Scores of
remedies have been tried, but nothing
even approximating specific for the
disease has ever been discovered until
the department of agriculture began its
experiments. DIR. Salmon said that so
per cant of the hogs treated in droves
have been saved, while in the droves
affected with cholera and not given the
serum treatment quite 80 per cent were
ost.
Last year the experiments we're con-
Quoted in Page county, Iowa, the results
showing a loss of only 20 per cent of the
affected droves. This year the expert
ments have been quite extensive and
far reaching. The bureau treated 922
hogs. OF these 10 died, the number
saved being 81 out OF every hundred.
The loss was only 10 per cent. The
animals treated comprised seventeen
droves, and of these, six droves lost only
one hog each. On the other hand, 1,1O7
hogs in other droves were observed and
not subject to the serum treatment. O.,
these $40 died, showing loss of 70 s
hogs out of hundred. Speaking of the
treatment, DR.. Salmon said:
''There is NO question of the effective
ness of the serum treatment for hog
cholera. 1t is no longer an experiment..
1t is proved success, and undoubtedly
will save to the farmers of the United
States millions of dollars every year."
The cholera serum is procured by
keeping apart for treatment an animal
"a horse or cow-and injecting into
its blood small amount of the blood of
cho lera diseas hog. This will sicken
the subj ct, but he will recover, when
another dose will be administered, and
90 on time after time, until finally his
blood becomes 30 impregnated as to rem
der him practically cholera proof. Then
his blood is let and the clot drawn off,
leaving the thin yellowish portion,
which is the serum. This is used to
inj act into the diseased hogs, and opeI-
ates to render them cholera-proof, or
even cures them of the disease after it
has developed.
