Ames. July 23-In some sections Of
the state tho impression has gained
ground that hog cholera serum can not
be bought in Iowa except from the new
state plant at Iowa state college. On
tho contrary. those who need serum
ut once may buy it wherever they will
az long az the manufacturer sells a
tested product.
The temporary plant at Iowa state
college 10 practically doubling its pro-
duction Of serum every week. More
than 900 hogs are now on hand for the
work. When the product already made
Is fully tested. the state will be ready
to fll orders to the extent Of about
10000 to 100000 cubic centimeters q
week. That will DO in about three
weeks. This amount will be increased
much more when the permanent plant
10 completed. which will be probably in
August. At the present time small
shipments are being made daily from
the serum first manufactured.
1t takes from forty-flve to fifty days
to produce serum and test it. After the
hogs are procured for the work, they
must be vaccinAted. In about ten
days they are given an additional
treatment and ten days later still an
other. When about another ten days
has gone. the hogs are ready for
bleeding to secure the serum. That
must then be tested. which requires
from fifteen to twenty days. making q
total Of from forty-five to fifty days.
