"CURE" IS BLAMED
BumbIebee Juice Didn't Pre-
vent Hog Cholera Attack.
Now Disease RACES and Farm
erS Blame State.

Lawrence. Kan. Nov Like the old
tales of the witch doctors is the story
that comes from Stull concerning the
outbreak of hog cholera which is raging
from Clinton north to Lecompton. The
story told by the people of the neigh
borhood relates how the Stull black
smith concocted / virus which he be
lieved would cure the cholera, how the
state sanitary commission authorized
some experiments upon hogs treated
with the virus and how all the hogs
of the neighborhood are dying as a re-
suit. The live stock commission takes
Il different view of the matter, but al
most every famer west of town is of
the opinion that the present outbreak
of the disease dates from the time
when DIR. Ryan's bumble-bee hog
cholera cure was tried out by the state
live stock commission.
Ryan is the blacksmith at StuI. or
some time past he had been working on
4 new cure for hog cholera, extracting
a virus from bumble-bees, the neigh
bOrs say a virus which he thought
would be a cure for the disease.
His method of getting the virus is
described as follows: Bumblebees were
caught and confined in a jug. 1t is
claimed that the insects stung
each other and themselves and devel-
oped the curative principles of the
virus Then vinegar was poured into
three days. At the end of certain
time the contents were taken out OF
the jug and strained and the fluid
was the virus with which the hogs
We're treated to render them immune
against the dreaded cholera.
The inventor of the process took
a herd of six hogs and treated them
with his virus until he was satisfied
that he had all the animals immune.
Then he applied to the state live
stock sanitary commission to have
veterinary sent down to Stull to try
out the efficacy of the cure.
Dr. Stouder, veterinarian of the
state live stock commission. went
down TO Stull and diseased" the hogs
by injecting virulent blood into THEN
veins.
The protector of the cure was con-
fdent that his bumblebee brew would
stay the progress of the disease but
the outcome of the experiment proved
otherwise Every one of the six hogs
died.
Then the Disease Spread.
