VETERINARIANS MAKE CHARGE.

JtoHleHulHS forces is rapidly becoming
STRAINED.
A few years ago the making of SER
I'm and its distribution was placed BY
the legislature in the hands of the
state veterinarian and later there was
created state animal health commits
Eion, of which the veterinarian is the
head, to look after the general fight on
hog cholera. A state laboratory was
directed and a great deal of the serum
was distributed, but the funds placed
at the disposal of the veterinarian
were meager and he could do little
The last legislature took this matter
out OF the hands of the state animal
health board and the veterinarians
and placed it with the state college at
Ames, making the president of the col
ege the general manager OF the labor
htory and authorizing the college to
regulate the distribution. A new $685..
oG0 laboratory has been built and late
last season the making of serum was
commenced.
| Now 1t is claimed by the veterina-
rians that the method of handling is
not as carefully supervised as it should
be: that farmers are invited to go to
the college and attend lectures a day
Tor more and receive instruction; that
they go home equipped for administer
ing the serum, that great many of
them carry away germs from the lab
oratory and otherwise the system aids
in the scattering of the cholera over
the state. The veterinarians insist
| that no person other than a veteri-
marian should be permitted to admins
ter the virus.
