Will Have Test Made of Serum.-The
| Live Stock Sanitary Board proposes to test the
serum recommended by the National Govern
ment which is said to immunize hogs against
the cholera and which. if as effective as is
claimed, will save the farmers of Maryland
large sums of money.
The serum is produced by the United States
Department of Agriculture and has been tried
by its officers with gratifying results in other
portions of the country. This has led DR..
| Mackie, State veterinarian to believe that it
might prove successful in Maryland and he has
| arranged to begin the incubation on a farm in
| Prince Georges county at once.
| 1t is said by the officials of the board that
| there is little more hog cholera in the State
| this year than usual; but the hot season al
| ways brings its loss to the farmers from this
| dread disease. Thousands of hogs die annually
from cholera and should the new serum prove
valuable the saving to Maryland hog-raisers
will mean great deal.
