Fishtina Hog Cholera.

Shall we NaccinAte the young pigs?
This is a question that many of the
corn belt farmers are asking at the
present time. Most authorities agree
that as long as the pigs are sucking
an immune sow it is unnecessary to
vaccinate them. But owing to the ease
with which they are handled and small
er amount of serum needed many ad-
vocate vaccination as soon as weaned.
1t is the opinion Of DR.. F. B. Hadley
of the Wisconsin college Of agriculture.
that unless there Is cholera in the COM
munity. IT is better not to vaccinate the
pigs at weaving time. but let them go
until they weigh about IS pounds and
then treat them with the serum and
virus In this way they are rendered
permanently immune while if given the
treatment when very small they soon
outgrow the immunity and are suscep-
,ible TO the disease as soon as they
are exposed In communities where,
cholera has not prevailed 1t is best to
use serum alone for virus may be
means of introducing hog cholera He.
however, recommended In the course OF
a recent interview that in case cholera
is prevalent in a community. ALI pigs
be given the serum treatment at wean--
ing time which will render them I'M
mune for a time, whether from immune
or susceptible sows. Later the double
treatment can be given when they have
reached the required size
Vaccination when the pigs are young
rather than letting them go until
cholera gets into the neighborhood or
perhaps into the herd has threefold
advantage: young pigs are easier hand
