Hog Colera Prevention.

The Assessors books in Jeffer-
son County indicate hog valua-
tion of .$150.08O. Competent To-
cal authorities estimate that in
recent years the annual hog loss
has been from $40 900 to $40, 600,
due to Cholera. Other counties
could show losses equally heavy
and disastrous to the swine breed
ing industry.
In order to protect the herd,
especially in those sections where
hog cholera is again breaking
out, no time should be lost in se-
curing hog cholera serum and
making the vaccinations. The
serum can be obtained from the
Commissioner of Agriculture at
Charleston. In most cases a local
Veterinarian should be secured
to administer the dose, but there
{ is no reason why the farmer
should not do this himself if he
understands the process. The
main precaution should be to pre-
vent infection at the point where
the serum is injected. All instru-
n1ents must be thoroughly boiled
and the region Of injection care
fully disinfected.
In cases of a widespread out
break of cholera, the Commis-
sioner of Agriculture will furnish
serum free-of charge.
Mr.. Shipman is doing effective
work in providing for. prompt
treatment when the disease de-.
velopes and can bereached when
ever needed at his Office in the
Court House.
