In addition to it's great function as
a preventive, iG has been found that
the antihog- cholera serum would cure
large proportion of hogs in the early
stages of the disease and render them
immune after recovery. However, ii
hogs are not treated by this serum,
from rs to 100 per cent in all affected
herds die. This serum, so far as is
known. is the only thing that will
prevent the disease.
Or hogs actually sick when treated,
the departments inspectors lost but
% per cent during the past summer.
OF we'll hogs in diseased herds. 2.8
per cent died after being treated,
and of hogs in exposed herds less
than one per cent died after being
lnocuIated with the serum. In an
infected herd there is always a GER
tain proportion of hogs that are we'll.
The inspector examines the hogs
when he arrives, takes the tempera-
ture of all hogs in the herd, and sep
arates the sick from the we'll. The
temperature is an indication of the
sickness. The temperature of sick
hog, unless the hog is near death,
will run above 104 degrees and some
times as high as LOT or 108 degrees f.
Some states are engaged in the
manufacture of serum to prevent this
disease. This serum requires special
treatment to preserve it's quality and
a qualified man to produce it. Sutti-
cient serum to treat an average 100
pound hog costs about 30 cents at a
liberal estimate. The treatment is by
hypodermic injection.
The department in initiating its
campaign against the devastating hog
disease has only been able to COM
mence in few of the districts where
the cholera was the most widespread
and where the active cooperation of
the state was offered in enforcing the
ordinary quarantine measures, etc.
The object of the department has
been to endeavor to control the dis
ease and, ii possible, eventually to
eliminate it from the country. To
secure this end the best efforts of the
farmer himeslf are necessary. The
campaign against this devastating
sickness during 1913 was planned in
the territory selected along three
lines:
l. The education and organization
of the farmers in the districts select
ed, to be carried out primarily by
the State college.
g The enforcement of SAM tation
and restrictive regulations by the
state veterinarian.
3. Active supervision by the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the de-
partment, and the incubation of dis
eased and exposed herds with the
anti hog cholera serum.
Hog cholera is caused by a germ
that exists in the blood. 1t is an or
ganism apparently SO small that the
most powerful microscopes do not
show it. However, it is easy to dem
onstrate it's presence by inoculating
small part of the blood from sick
hog into we'll one, which produces
the hog cholera.

Etched Leather

Etch,ngs on leather is a craft that
Is more generally practised in Eurore
than in this country, although 1t is a
craft very readily accomplished.
The etched leather is made with a
stencil.
The stencil is pinned over the
leather with thumb tacks, and the
pattern is etched, using an acid in
stead of paints, but applying 1t in the
same way, using stencil brush.
In some instances pens are used for
the etch ng, but for broad, bold pat
tern, q stencil brush is best.
Sometimes the etched leather has
an appearance not unlike burnt
leather, but 1t is accompli he'd more
easily and there is no disagreeab'e
smoke to contend with, says the
Cleveland Sunday Plain Dealer.
The color of the finished work can
not always be seen, as the acid af-
fects different kinds and grades of
leather in an entirely d. fferent way,
and sometimes the design has to be
gone over a couple of times to secure
the desired result.
fooled, cut, braided and burnt
leather are some of the other forms
of leather craft with which most peo-
pie are more familiar.
