Disease Among Hogs.

y 4
A disease that has been prevailing
among the hogs in the vicinity of Lang
don for the past five or six months has
resulted in the death of hundreds OF
the animals, and everyone is at loss
to understand whether it is hog cholera
or not; some reason that it is not, as
hardly two animals are afflicted in the
same manner. Several parties have
lost over 100 head each, and a great
many their entire herds. Farmers in
that locality have always engaged ex-
tensively in swine raising, many hav-
ing valuable blooded stock, and it is
considered an enormous loss to them,
as it will be some time before they will
care to invest in any more pigs. With
the exception of three or four farms,
where the disease has not struck yet,
every hog is gone.
