While the laws OF the state require
that one who administers serum shall
have q permit. it is openly asserted
that great many have actually been
administering the virus who have had.
at least. only a few hours instruction
on one day. and who have not shown
themselves to be thoroughly competent.
But whether the virus is distributed
by professional men or by farmers 1t Is
declared that the effect is to scatter the
hog cholera to parts Of the country
hitherto free from it and since 1t is
being demonstrated-as appears now
from the preliminary reports-that the
serum treatment gets just as good re-
suits as to rise the virus there Is sure
to be an effort made to reverse the

Des Moines. March l0.-Already the
lines are dim;y visible as they are
forming for one of the best of the
most interesting fights before the next
general assembly of Iowa on q matter
involving vastly more than any and
all taxation issues that can be raised.
This is on the question Of the manner
of treatment Of hog cholera.
1t is not too much to say that In the
opinion Of some very able students OF
the subject the legislature OF Iowa
made a big mistake last year in author
izing uniformed persons to apply what
is known as the simultaneous treat
ment for hog cholera. It has been as
serted that this alone is sufficient to
account for :hc increase in hog cholera
in the state.
The old serum plant operated under
the care OF the livestock health board
made only serum and formerly there
was distribution in Iowa Of serum only,
Virus Requires Pro per Handling.
Latterly there has come to be DIS
tribution II virus as well as serum.
The virus gives the hcgs the cholera
and the serum immunizes them. The
virus therefore takes the cholera to
places and establishes It where It did
not exist before.
1t will De recalled that some time
ago facts were given out as 10 results
of government: experiments made IN
one county in Iowa and one in Mis-
souri,. In Iowa the simultaneous treat
ment-virus and Seruul-iS used; Whlle
in Missouri the serum treatment alone
is applied. Preliminary information is
to the effect that just as good results
follow by the single treatment as by
the simultaneous treatment If II
should turn cut that the use OF virus
is needless then the Iowa system will
be in disfa,or.
Turn to Single Treatment.
At the recent national meeting or
veterinarians in Chicago it would seem.
from the resolutions adopted, that the
men who arc best informed On the
subject. are turning strongly so"ara
the serum treatment and severely con-
denim the system under which unskiiled
persons have been permitted to carry
the virus from place 20 place and In
oculate herds. In regard to this use
Of virus it was said:
THE Simultaneous treatment should
be used only by these who have had
special training. The ideal arrange
ment would be TO allow its use only oy
federal and state veterinary officers.
Other officers. who have sufficient
training In the use of virus and In
sanitation may use the Simultaneous
treatment with safety. Where 1t Is
no. accessible to restrict virus TO of1l-
cial hands because OF shortage OF funds
or lack OF officers, or for other I'M
comfortable reason, Il should then be
used only BY such persons as have
been given special permit after re-

bridges and culverts he would not be
liable for damages done the same. But
they demanded that the state adopt
policy looking to bridges and culverts
that would not need planks to carry

During that every bridge and culvert

might be offered and be Of permanent
material Because of this high stand
ard requirement the commission has
got into controversies in many of the
counties where the contractors have
sought to secure contracts for bridges
of the temporary kind. The claim has
always been that the permanent
bridges cost too much and counties
can not afford them. But the COM
mission has persisted and the result is
that all bridge plans are for permanent
bridges.
The threshermen probably will adopt
resolutions giving their attitude in re-
gard to permanent bridges and good
roads.
