Hogs Are Strong at Advance.
While no hogs were received In the
Portland yards today the market car
rlcd over It's strength from yesterday
| and therefore prices are nominaily
quoted at the advance. With prices
/ at eastern and middle west centers
/ very firm, it is but natural that TINS
market should reflect some Of the
outside strength.
The effect Of bringing in hogs for
breeding purposes from the middle
west is reflected in the following re-
port from the Athena, or, Press:
Cholera, which broke out in the
famous heard of thoroughbred Poland
! China hogs owned by A. l.. Swaggart
80 days ago, has greatly depleted the
herd, 13O dying in that time, leaving
about 80 head, some Of (which are now
sick. while others have not been az
rlicted with the disease.
"AliIt Swaggarts herd of so head
has been swept away except four head
and Joe Key has but two or three left

Young pigs began dying off and the
sows became paralyzed and refused

Invariably the first symptom was
paralysis OF the headquarters, the pig
or hog generally succumbing in from
three. days to three weeks. Others

not taken it at all.
Mr.. Swaggart has been in COM
muuication with the state veterinari-
an and from personal examinations

, of the disease. Mr.. Swaggart, who
has spent lifetime in perfecting the
