OF Experiment.
The experiments with the serum for the
prevention Of hog cholera, which have been
In progress at South Omaha since the last
week of July. will be concluded in about
one week more and from the present indica-
tion VIII clearly demonstrate that at last
perfect antl-toxin has been discovered
Tor the cure OF this malignant disease in
hogs.
Sunday NIGHT the third hog of the four
animals first infected with cholera germs
oled. The animal was the first to show
symptoms OF the disease, but had greater
vitality to resist the attack and so lived
longer than the others. OF the eight hogs
not protected by the serum, all are sick and
some will soon die of their allment, but the
eighteen hogs which were inoculated with
anti-toNin are thriving splendidly In the
midst OF the battle between the germs OF
cholera and the germs of the serum Not
one OF the eighteen have SHOWN anything
but the most perfect healthy condition.
what this means 20 the farmers OF the
middle states can hardly be estimated. The
greatest cause Of loss has been cholera,
which disease, unlike pneumonia, cannot
be prevented by careful housing. 1t is more
culosis.
The farmers Of the west will no doubt
nail the new discovery as a great boon
with which 1t will be possible to eradicate
the disease entirely.
The Union Stock yards will place the
eighteen immune hogs on exhibition at the
state fair. 1t is expected that the govern
ment will be overrun with inquiries and
requests for aid very shortly.
