Hog Cholera Epidemic Abates.

Wisconsin Farmer The hog cholera
situation in this state has taken turn
for the better While the disease is
still reported from some sections. it is
not so virulent and is slowly giving
way before vaccination This word
from DR.. o. IL, Eliason, state veterin-
arian. is cheering news for all interest
ed in conserving one of the state great
farm industries. The largest affected
area is Racine, Kenosha and Walworth
counties in the southeastern part. and
in the vicinity of Durand, in Pepin
county OH the western border. There
are individual cases in other spots.
where the hogs have not been vaccin.
ated. Taken as whole, the state is
now remarkably free from the disease,
fact due largely to the wider applica-
ton of vaccine. The necessity of re-
porting all cases promptly TO the state
veterinarian is urgent, SO that immedi
ate action may be taken before the
disease can spread.
