WHO SPREADS HOG CHOLERA?
Many Theories Of How Cholera Germs

crows, dogs, rats, wolves, horses, cat

themselves. A man paddles around
In infected shipping yards or around
some neighbor's barn lot and carries
the germs home on his shoes and
then he wonders how his hogs became
exposed. There is only one safe way
to avoid hog cholera and hiatt is by
vaccination and the farmer who is
too careless or too contrary or too
sttngy to vaccinate his hogs has no
more legitimate cause for complaint
than has the man who refuses t.
have his family vaccinated against
small pox and who he's an outbreak
due to his negligence. The time will
come when vaccination against hog
cholera will be compulsory. T.
Hungarian government, which has
taken up the raising Of hogs, alreaS
has made vaccination compulsory by
law. The United States government
took a long step in this direction
