An epidemic is killing off the
hogs by wholesale in Mason and
adjacent valleys, says the Yering-
ton Times, onc ranch having lost
as high as $50 porkcrs during the
summer, and others from 20 to 100
head.
What the disease is. apparently
has not been learned, and if any
means of combating the disease
have been taken, it is not known.
1t would seem that so great a loss
would call for nm investigation by
some authority on hog ailments.
Certainly the carcasses of dead
animals should lie burned so that
they will not be eaten by other
hogs and the disease spread any
more than possible.
