REPORT MUCH HOG
CHOLERA IN STATE
Dr.. Hadley of Agricultural Col
lege Gives Conditions.
SERUM SUPPLY INADEQUATE
Manufacture of Preventative at Uni
versity Unable to Keep Pace With
Demands No Danger to Hur.
Beings from Disease.

Madison.-There is more hog chol-
era in the state of Wisconsin than
there has been for years. This dec
laration made by DR.. f. B. Hadley OF
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
is based on reports received from an
sections of the state. Last May the
college began to manufacture anti
serum for the prevention of hog choI-
era. The demand now far eXceeos
the supply
There IS no danger to humans
from this disease, % said DR.. Hadley'
in my experien e as United States
government official inspecting chol-
era, | cannot say that have known
of a single case where a human be-
ing has been affected"
DR.. HadIey said that the disease
could be prevented, but that cholera
cannot be cured after the hog has be-
come seriously i'll. Hogs are made
immune from the disease by injec-
ton of an anti-serum composed of
the blood of healthy pigs which have
been through a siege of the cholera.
This blood is obtained by cutting off
the end of the pigs tail until by
successive bleedings no more Of the
tail remains The pig is then killed
to get the last ounce of blood. En-
ough blood can be obtained from a
pig TO treat about 400 hogs that
weigh less than 100 pounds each.
At the regular commercial rate for
anti-scrum, enough blood from a pig
can be sold to realize $3.50.
Among the things first noted in
an outbreak of hog cholera is the re-
fusal of feed by a number of hogs, !"
said Dr. Hadley They have chills
and are depressed, stiff and sore;
there is a tendency for them to hide
in the bedding. A short, hacking
cough will frequently be noted. In
most cases hog cholera runs a rapid
course, ending in death about two
weeks after exposure"

Attorney johnson, at B~arnesyille, this

manslaughter.
Attorney Johnson says SUFFICIENT de-
velopments have come to light, in con-
nection with the death of Nygen's
mother, about which there were many
peculiar and very unusual circum-
stances, The prisoner, with his meth
er, lived on a farm in Tansem town

oody Of Mrs. Nyeng was found near
the house in a badly bruised condition

erwards.
An inquest was ordered by Coroner
Vincent, but the jury, after investiga-
ton, reported inability to state the
cause of the death.
Mrs. Nyeng was about II years of

the statement that she had been kick
ed by a COW, but n~eighbors and others
decline to give n cred
to that. A few nights ago the
son was out on a spree with
some friends and while going home
badly frozen hands and ears.

Northwest Development league Of st.
Paul and will urge the North Dakota
congressional delegation to work for
the passage Of a bill now pending in
congress that will make it easier for
homeseekers to come west and settle

policy everyone feels should be en-
couraged. The committee was asked
to take this step today by the officers
OF the Northwest Development league.

freely on break of l cent than they
will on a similar bulge. Arguments of
the bulls however, are that when the
