Hoo Cholera On The Increase

The Live Stock Sanitary Board, whose
office is in the Union Trust Co. Building.
Baltimore. give out the fact that Hog
Cholera is existing to quite a serious
extent in the State and with desire to
do all in its power to overcome this
terrible enemy to our Hog Stock, has
bought small quantity Of Hog Cholera
Serum. which il will supply to the farm
ers free upon the condition that it is
administered promptly as the State Vet
erinarian may direct. by competent
party. Hog cholera serum does not
cure the disease but has proven eflica-
cious as a preventative. Due caution
should be used in buying and selling
hogs while the present conditions exist.
When hogs or other animals die of con-
tagious diseases. their carcasses should
be promptly burned. Simple burying
won't do. as they are often dsenterred
by dogs and the disease spreads. Any
information concerning the laws on this
subject will be cheerfully supplied by
the Board.
