very far. The serum is entirely harm
less, and does not interfere with the
growth of the treated hog.
Simultaneous Imocmlatiom. = In this
form of vaccination the same serum is
used, but in addition there is injected on
the opposite side of the body, in the
same manner, very small amount of
blood taken from a hog sick Of hog
cholera This simultaneous injection of
serum and virulent blood confers upon
the I'M njected pig permanent and lasting
immunity, and is therefore to be re-
commended in cases of we'll herds which
may not be exposed for some months
after the treatment. In either process
of vaccination. il is coflsidered highly
desirable for the treatment to be ap-
piled by competent veterinarians who
have had special training in this class
of work, and only such skilled men
should apply the simultaneous process.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
treated approximately 1000 hogs, locat-
ed on AZ separate farms The results
were that more than IS per cent of the
treated hogs had been saved in herds
that were sick at the time of treatment,
while of the hogs left untreated in the
same herds only 25 per cent survived;
more than 95 per cent of the treated
animals were saved in the herds that
had been exposed at the time of treat
ment, while of the tntreated hogs in the
same herds only II per cent survived;
of the treated hogs in the herds that did
not become exposed until after the
treatment none were lost, whereas IS
per cent of the untreated hogs in the
same herds died of hog cholera.

LIVE STOCK
By PROF. JOHN M. SCOTT
Hog Raising in Florida.

Perhaps few other lines of live stock
work here received as much attention
from farmers in the past ten years as
has the hog.
On January 1, 1899, authentic reports
gave the number of hogs on farms in
Florida as 429,128 with a total value Of
$677,138, or an average of $2O4 per head.
On the same date the average price per
head for the entire United States was
$40. In other words the average price
for Florida hogs was $2.36 less than. the
average for the entire United States.
These were certainly discouraging fig
ures, nevertheless they were true.
On January 1, 1909, the number of
hogs on Florida farms was 47,OOO an
increase in ten years of 1872, with
value of $1,788,OOO, or an average of
$4.OO per head. An increase in value
per head of $1.96. On the same date
the price per head for hogs in the en-
tire United States was $685..
There is still no other State in the
Union with such a low average price
per head for hogs as Florida. For COM
parison we give a few of the States
showing the number of hogs and the
average price per head

South Coming Forward.

Swine breeding is one of the big
growing industries of the South says the
Swine Magazine WE have been MOTTO
ing the foundation of numerous herds
of pure bred swine in the South the
past few years and note that today there
are more advertisers of good hogs in
this section than ever before.
Ten years ago it was very uncommon
to hear of good hogs bred from pedi-
greed stock. Today there are good farms
devoted to the breeding of pure bred
hogs and their proper care and manage
ment in every section of the South. The
majority of the breeding hogs in the
South, those that have gone toward the
foundations of the good herds now
found there came from Ohio, Kentucky,
Texas, Tennessee Missouri and other
border States. Texas has always been
a land where swine did we'll Tennessee
and Kentucky have been long the home
of pure bred stock, hogs as we'll as
horses and cattle
The past seasons State and county
fairs all through the South have shown
there is more interest than ever in pure
bred swine. The pure breeds have been
shown by farmers and planters in great
numbers You will find up-to-the-
minute breeding in the majority of the
herds of the South. These signs all
point to greater interest than ever
among hogs of the right type during the
next ten to twenty years as breeders
will have the best and some one will
have to produce the tops Of the various
breeds. To the victors belong the re-
wards. Fall in line and strive to breed
them so good that the other fellow
must come to your herd for something

The Serum Treatment for Hog
Cholera.

Abstracted from United States Department
of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin 379 by Prof.
John Belling, of the State Experiment Station.
Hog cholera may be recognized in
herd by its contagiousness; the symp
toms of severe illness, such as fever,
weakness, loss of appetite, and diarrhea;
and by hemorrhagic spots in the internal
organs or button-like ulcers in the in
testines. Among the few diseases that
may be taken for hog cholera are diges-
tive troubles (due to improper feeding).
tuberculosis, anthrax, and inflammation
caused by lung-worms. Swine plague
may, for the present, be ignored as
separate disease, especially as the gen
eral measures for controlling it are the
same as those required in case of hog
cholera.
Hog cholera is caused by an ultra
microscopic germ All that is necessary
to prevent hog cholera is to keep the
germ of the disease away from the herd.
In the majority of cases this germ is
transported in the bodies of sick hogs
and on the feet of men or animals, in
cluding birds The chances of an out
break of hog cholera will be greatly
lessened, if not completely avoided, if
herd is protected from these carriers of
the infection. The herd should be placed
on part of the farm that will be. the
least accessible to men or animals from
other farms. Hog lots should never be
located near public roads if this can be
avoided. All newly purchased stock
should be kept separate from the main
herd for at least thirty days The sleep
ing places, lots, and feeding troughs
should be kept clean. After an out
break of cholera the yards and pens
should be thoroughly cleaned, all dead
hogs should be burned or buried deep
with quickllme, the litter should be col
lected and burned, and lime scattered
freely over the ground The sheds and
hog houses, and metal troughs should
be washed thoroughly with compound
solution of cresol GU. S. P.), one part
troughs should be burned
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
discovered that when hogs which have
recovered from hog cholera, and are
thenceforward immune to the disease,
are injected with blood from a sick hog
they are not made sick, but as a result
Of this injection their blood acquires the
power to protect other hogs from hog
CHOlcId. Inc serum from the DlOOQ OF
immune hogs so treated is mixed with
a weak solution of carbolic acid and put
into sterilized bottles. This serum is
used in either one of two ways namely
CD the serum inoculation, and (2) the
simultaneous inoculation.
Serum Imocmlatiom-The hogs which
are to be protected are injected on the
inside of the hind leg with a suitable
dose of the serum alone. This injec-
ton will serve to protect hogs from hog
cholera for several weeks, and, in some
cases, for longer time. Injection of
the serum alone is especially to be re-
commended in cases where there is i'm
mediate danger of exposure; especially
where valuable hogs are carried to fairs,
and in herds where the disease has al

Do not breed the gilt too young
Stronger and more vigorous pigs will
be secured if they are not bred until one
year old.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01

Why is 1t that Florida is at the lower
end of the list? It is because the farm
ers have not been giving the hog indus
try its share of attention. If the hog
business had received one-half the atten-
ton and thought that has been given to
other industries of the State, there
would be today over one million head of
hogs in the State with a valuation of at
least $500 or $500 per head. These
may seem like large figures, but there is
no reason why Florida farmers can not
produce hogs of as good a grade as any
other State in the Union.
Why is the present average for Flor
ida hogs so low? Because the farmers
have not been using the right kind of
sires, and have not been feeding as they
should have Too many farmers are
satisfied with any kind of a sire, so long
as he would get pigs. With this kind
Of breeding improvement is impossible
1t is doubtful if the farmers Of any
other State can produce such a large
variety of valuable feeds for pork pro-
duction as cheaply as can the farmer of
this State. Such crops as velvet beans,
peanuts, chufas, sweet potatoes, corn,
Japanese cane, dwarf Essex rape, and
sorghum are all valuable. They are all
crops that are easy to grow and that
hogs can harvest for themselves.
