The number of swine about
Salem is being considerably reduced
by reason of an epidemic that Is
prevalent Throughout the valley. 1t
is not thoroughly understood aud the
proper course to pursue to evade its
fatal results is not known. At first 1t
was supposed to be lcholera but
from the fact that the hogs suffer
with the disease for two or three
weeks before death occurs, 1t is
considered a more serious allment.
Eugene Eckerlin and +. c. Cross Of
this city, have recently lost over a
hundred head of swine, while the loss
of several head is reported from the
state penitentiary. Farmers from
various sections of this county and
also from Polk county report similar
losses from an unknown cause. 1t
is hoped the epidemic may be
checked before 1t becomes general
throughout the valley.
