II is difficult TO reach the veins. be-
cause OF the coarse ears. and oftea
the veins are scarcely visible. How
ever. this method is a tribe more
potent A $50 pound hog requires 80
cubic centimcters OF serum.
How the Serum is Obtained.
The hog is placed on the table and
then washed. the tail is thoroughly
washed with an antiseptic solution
n luke-warm water and soap. and
then with n weak solution OF alcohol,
before preparing the hog bottles are
washc and sterilizcd and covered
with n cloth which has also been
stertlized. \ piece OF the tail Is ampu-
tated. and In this way the blood Is
drawn from the hog.
From a hog weighing $50 pounds
about three pints OF serum is obtained
at n bleeding. a hog can be bled
four times before he has TO be hyper
immunized again. The blood received
In this way is denbrinated. and the
small amount OF carbolic acid Is added
to preserve Il. and does not injure its
protecting power. The blood is then
ready for use.

yield from 30 to 100 doses OF vaccine
at one bleeding. A hog can be bled
once every eight or ten days. The
above are government directions.
After tho serum has been tested
and found to be potent. II is put up
I'm bottles OF three sizes. sealed ana
stored In n cement cellar. where II
can be kept at ever temperature
until used.
Some Dangers TO Be Avoided.
