The Agricultural department at Washing
ton has been for several years conducting
experiments in southwestern Iowa to as
certain the cause Of hog cholera and the
effect Of various remedies and preventives.
and a careful study of the disease has been
made on every farm Of Page county.
John L.. Bagnall, one Of the government
experts, has Just been in Page county, maxi
ing an examination and he reports that the
hog cholera or swine plague is prevalent
in only two herds in the county, thus prac-
tically marking the end OF the disease there.
He states that the chief cause of the dis
appearance of the disease, not only there,
but elsewhere is the high price Of hogs.
AS a consequence Of this farmers are
much more careful in the care and feeding
Of their herds, and this is the best pre-
ventive Of the plague. Mr.. Bagnall an
