Over Rasss Of Cholera Epidemic.
Monte Vista.-Roast pig was the
leading feature of the menu for ban
quet held in Monte Vista to celebrate
the close Of the first year of the organ
ization Of the Monte Vista Hog Grow
ers' Association. AS far as possible,
the entire bill of fare for the banquet
was prepared from products grown in
the San Luis valley. About 200 mem
bers OF the association and business
men OF the city who have contributed
toward its support were present at the
banquet. The Monte Vista Hog
Growers Association was Incorporated
upon the suggestion Of DR.. George H.
Glover, state veterinarian, for the pur-
pose Of making a united effort to
stamp out hog cholera in this section
OF the state. This was the first really
organized effort ever made in the
United States toward the elimination
OF this disease. A veterinarian was
employed and under his direction the
hog raisers cleaned up and disinfected
all places where the cholera appeared
and strict quarantine has been en-.
forced. So successful have been these
efforts that. while In 1912 the losses
from cholera amounted to nearly 80
per cent of all herds. with a monetary
loss Of at least 5000. the loss for
1913 has been less than $50 hogs, and
the greater part Of these has been
among hogs shipped into the valley
from outside the state. While the ban
quet this year was confined to mem.
bers Of the association, It IL expected
that arrangements will be made to
make the hog roast an annual event.
open to all. ON lines similar to the
various festivals held In other cities OF
