it has been found that while the serum
accomplishes all that could reasonably
be expected of it in the way of protec-
ton, the sanitary regulations, such as
the careful disposal of infected arcass-
rs, thorough disinfection Of premises,
ETC., are, in the majority Of instances,
being more or less neglected or ignored
and there can be little doubt that it is
to this neglect in the main, that the
maximum of good results is not being
secured.
1t should be indelibly impressed upon
the mind Of every hog owner. in the
state that cholera is one Of the most in
fectious of animal diseases; and while
the serum may protect the we'll hogs in
an outbreak, it will not. and does not
prevent the spread Of the infection
from the diseased ~carcasses, if the lat
ter are not destroyed either by burn
ing or deep burial with lime, and other
sanitary measures adopted to kill the
infection and prevent its being spread
to other herds. In other words: To
use the serum only. without adopting
strict sanitary measures along with it
is tantamount to keeping the disease
alive just for the fun Of trying to pro-
tect against it. This is not rs it should
be, and is certainly not the end sought
to. be accomplished by the State 1--we
Stock Sanitary Board which is charged
with the control Of this infectious and

Stock Sanitary Board which is charged
with the control Of this infectious and
expensive disease, nor we would hope,

Nevertheless, this is precisely what is
being done by many at the present
time, and it is largely due to this con-
dition of affairs that hog cholera is be-
ing permitted to spread, notwithstand-
ing the extensive use Of the serum.
The main point to be strongly urged
here, is, that the serum, although a
most valuable protective agent in itself
is an aid or adjunct, only, in the con-
troll and eradication Of hog cholera in
lection; the main thing being the
adoption and strict enforcement: Of
necessary and thorough sanitary.
measures, as required by law and the
regulations Of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board.
Louisiana has one Of the very best
live stock sanitary laws, and set Of
regulations, in the whole country, Laws
Of such a character are not enacted,

Mexican Girls At Earlham
Uneasy.

Hearing nothing from their parents.
who live 200 miles northwest of Tam
pico, two Mexican girls, students at
Earlham college, are growing uneas y
over the situation. The town of Mate
huala, where the two girls, the Misses
Louisa Guijarro and Josefa Sanchez,
live, is in the line of march of Gen
eral Villas army, and as they have
not heard from home for over a month
they are worried and anxious about
the welfare of their parents and

The present crisis does not concern
them very much. as they do not ex-
pect General Huerta TO hold out
against the United States. but should
the army invade Mexico there would
be much more fighting in the stat. OF
San Louis Potosi, in which Matehuala
is situated. The rumored advance OF
the Constituencies on Tampico will
if true, place them again on the firing
