HOG CHOLERA CURE.
DR.. D. E. Salmon Speaks of the
New Serum.

During the past two years the de-
partment of agriculture has conducted
a series of experiments in the use of
serum as a remedy for hogs affected
by cholera or swine plague. The ex-
periments were conducted by DR.. D. E.
industry, and the results were emil
nently 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 sum.
In Iowa alone, during 1896, it is es-
timated that the hog raisers lost
through the ravages of the disease
$15,O0O,OO0. Scores of remedies have
been tried, but nothing approx
mating a specific for the disease has
ever been discovered until the de-
partment of agriculture began its ex-
periments Summarizing the results
of the experiments, DR.. Salmon said
that 80 per cent. 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 lost.
Last year the experiments were con-
Quoted in Page county, Iowa, the re-
suits showing a loss on only 20 per
cent. of the affected droves. This
year the experiments have been eX-
tensive and far-reaching. The bureau
treated 922 hogs. Of these 10 died,
the number saved being eighty-one
out of every hundred. The loss was
only 10 per cent. The animals COM
prised seventeen droves, and of these
six droves lost only one hog each. On
the other hand, 1,107 hogs in other
droves were watched, but not sub
jected to the serum treatment. OF
these 879 died, showing a loss of 1913
hogs out of every 100. Speaking Of the
treatment, DR.. Salmon said: There
is no question of the effectiveness of
the serum treatment. Our operations
have been viewed with skepticism, but
the serum treatment for hog cholera
is no longer an experiment.. It is a
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 ami
ma1-a horse or a cow-and injecting
into it's blood a small amount of the
blood of cholera diseased hog. This
Will sicken the subject, but he will
recover when another dose will be adj
ministered, and so on, time after time,
until finally his blood becomes so i'm
pregnated as to render 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 inject into the
diseased hogs and operates to render
them, likewise, cholera-proof, or even
cures them of the disease after it has
developed.

JOINTS OF MEAT

Should always be properly wiped
and cleaned before they are cooked.
Meat is often care1essly kept, hung
outside shops in dusty thoroughfares,
and may collect dust, dirt and other
impurities, so that it is imperative,
to wash it before cooking. Many
cooks say that touching meat with
water will destroy the flavor, but
beg to impress on my readers that
this is not the case.

from an explosion from the outside.
The testimony ot Captain Sigshce is Of
the greatest Importance and is substanti-

great care exercised ON board and i'm

it. Another matter which is quite Sc

art in Cadiz. 1 have not heard a shot
fired during the week I am here. The
