Hog cholera threatens the swine in

Of 1911 witnessed one of the worst
outbreaks in the live stock history OF
this country. and there is every evil
dence to support the belief that the
disease will be widespread the present
fall.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of hog
cholera are not uniform. In some out
breaks one group of body organs is
involved leading to certain symptoms,
while in others, an entirely different
set of organs is affected, with the
symptoms varying accordingly.
Among the things at first noted in
an outbreak is the refusal of feed by
a number of hogs; they have chills
and are depressed, stiff. and sore;
there is tendency to hide in the bed
ding; the bowels become constipated;
later, diarrhoea of serious nature
sets in. A short hacking cough will
frequently be noted, and the eyes have
a watery discharge which soon dries
up and gums the lids together. 1t is
not unusual as death approaches to
note redness of the skin along the
belly, inside the thighs, and in the
arm pits
