WlPlNG OUT CHOLERA
How Illinois Has Gone about 1t to
Stamp out the Dreaded Hog Di-
| sease, and How tho Iian is
Working.

The board of live stock commits
sioners of the State of Illinois have
present year that other states
should emulate.
Up to October LIST, they had vac
cinated more than 100000 hogs
or funni shed vaccine for same. Less
than one percent of the hogs treat
ed have died, and all others have
been rendered immune to cholera.
1t seems to be merely matter of
short time when the disease will
have been completely stamped out
in Illinois
Iowa does not furnish cholera
vaccine. If an Iowa farmer wishes
to protect his herdI by vaccination,
he must buy the serum from
private firm. The result is that it
is unreliable and exceedingly dam
gerous, besides being high in price.
A herd of 245 head was vaccinated
in Mills County a few weeks ago,
and more than a half of them have
died so far as the, result of the
treatment. While this is larger
than the usual loss, it is safe to
say chat the percentage of loss
is between ten and twenty times
that sustained by the Farmers of
Illinois, notwithstanding the cost
is greater, and the treatment less,
effective.
/ 1t is mot known that hog cho-
Terra can be stamped out, at small
cost and with practically NO danger.
Yet the loss dn Iowa continues high
In the hundreds of thousands of
dollars or even in the millions eve
cry year, simply because our leg
islature has neglected. to- furnish a
means of getting the vaccine mad
applying same. 1t has been cost
ly blunder and may justly be
charged against the General AS
sembly, which should have invest,i-
gated the matter most thoroughly,
instead of Diminishing it without
attention.
1t is suggested that the repre-
sentative from Audubon County
should make it point to push
som ething through that will re.
heve the situatioh in, Iowa.
