OK the herds the presence Of the hog
cAoiera germ was demonstrated by
tests upon experimental animals as
well as by a careful study OF the cul-
lures. In three the presence of swine
plague germ was demonstrated. The
examination Of the blood and the mo-
tiIity test confirmed the presence of
either hog cholera or swine plague, and
indicated its presence in some OF the
herds the cultures from which had not
gwen positive results. Autopsies were
made upon one or more animals in
each OF these herds and records care
tally kept. They indicated in many
instances the presence OF acute or
chronic hos cholera, in a few cases
swine plague, or combination of both
diseases.
Thirty-three herds in whole or in
part were reserved as checks upon
those which were treated. In some
Of these herds the character Of the dis
ease was also demonstrated by cultures
or blood reactions. In others the au-
topsy indicated the character of the
disease and hog cholera was found pre-
dominant. The number Of animals in
these check herds was 3,917. OF these
only 600 survived, or S1.24 per cent
was lost. This shows about as large
percentage OF animals saved in the
treated herds as were lost in the nom
treated herds, and leaves apparently
but little doubt as to the efficacy OF
practical treatment of swine diseases
in the field by the use Of these mixed
serums alone or with bacterial prod
ucts, combined with simple methods of
2isinfection and slight care which ev-
cry farmer should be willing to give to
his animals. The serum is intended to
cure diseases simply, and should have
such aids as clean, warm quarters and
good food and water; it is no protec-
ton against freezing, smothering or
starvation.
