NINE OUT OF TEN "SlCK"
HOGS HAVE HOG CHOLERA.

The Department of Agriculture is in
receipt of frequent inquiries concern
ing methods for distinguishing nog
cholera from other swine diseases.
The specialists in hog cholera inves-
LEGATIONS answer these inquiries as
follows:
Although at first thought this mat
ter of diagnosis appears to be of prime
Importance, in reality it is not so i'm
portant or so difficult as it seems. 1t
is estimated that at least 80 per cent
of all deaths of hogs from disease in
the United States are caused by hog
cholera. Therefore. in the case of any
fatal outbreak the chances are about
nine to one that the cause is hog
cholera. 1t is true that other infec-
tions may and do frequently compli-
cate outbreaks of hog cholera, but in
such cases the germ of hog cholera
is the primary cause of the disease;
and if we can take care of the germ
of hog cholera the pig viii usually
overcome the other infections him
self.
The symptoms exhibited by hogs
sick of hog cholera are not sufficiently
distinct from those produced by other
maladies. so that positive diagnosis
can be made only through careful
of a number of other /
factors in connection with the symp- +,
toms. From a practical standpoint
the important thing is TO recognize
hog cholera as soon as possible after
its appearance in herd in order that
antihog-cholera serum may be applied
before the disease progresses too far.
Good serum may be depended upon to
protect well hogs. and even to cure a
arge percentage Of those in the earli-
sst stages of the disease. but it will
Tot be of much avail when used upon
logs that are already visibly sick.

of hog cholera in a herd:

sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is a ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog chol-
era. The diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs III the manner
described in Farmers Bulletin $40.
L. When the first symptoms of
sickness are observed, an immediate
change of feed sometimes oorrects the
trouble. This is particularly true of
swill-fed hogs.
5. If there is any tendency for the
disease to spread in the herd. do not
temporize, but Immediately treat the
herd with serum from the State col
lege or State live stock sanitary board.
Prompt adminish alton of the serum
is essential to success.
