Dear Sirs:-In September I had
on my place about 1875 head Of grown
hogs, and pigs. When I found my
hogs commenced to get sick, I then
sold all that were in shape to ship to
market, being about so head, and lost
about Is head. 1 then decided to vac
cinate, and did so, and have since
bought $50 head Of shoats, and vac
cinated all before turning in with my
herd. They all did fine, and I have
seen no indications Of sickness among
them since the first were lost
l think vaccination the only way to
cope with hog cholera, and expect to
keep all hogs On my place vaccinated
in the future.
