EPIDEMIC OF HOG CHOLERA.
Pleasant View Pork Raisers Suffer
Heavy Losses.

Ogden, Jan. 2S.-Quite a number of
| deaths occurred among the hogs in
Pleasnt View and vicinity, in the north
| ern part of this county; but little note
was taken OF the matter until day
| or two ago when one farmer lost Go
out of a drove OF IS on Saturday night.
Prof Frederick veterinarian of the
Agricultural college was sent for and
ne came down at once and pronounced
the malady as hog plague, which is
akin to cholera, il not the same as
this malady.
The disease, says DIR. Friedrich, is a
germ disease, very DISASTROUS to ami
mails and one of the most active con-
taSions known to the animal kingdom.
He states that the only way to get rid
of IL is to kill every hog that is found
suffering from il and then to carefully
and most thoroughly disinfect all the
yards and premises where hogs are be-
ing kept. The disease did not de
Velop here but was carried here from
the east through the importations of
hogs here from there, The disease will
not develop here but it Will live and
thrive here after it once becomes thor
oughly seated.
Cases OF the disease have been re-
ported from BoXelder and Cache coun-
ties. and ii may spread further If strin-
gent measures are not adopted for its
eradication.
