In 1912 there were raised in what is
known as the Twin Falls district, as
lie hogs. In this territory is included
what is best known South Side Twin
Falls segregation; all of that territory
what is known as South Side Twin
segregation, with its extensions; all
that portion of Gooding county under
the Idaho Irrigation company's segre-
cation and all of the territory includ-
ed in the Minidoka government recla-
nation project. During that same
year Of the total number of hogs
raised, 1853 hogs were lost from
cholera, ON 81 Infected farms.
The following year, 1918, the num-
Der of hogs raised doubled, S3,567 hogs
being raised. OF this number 1878
were lost from cholera on 265 in
fected farms. 1t will be seen that
while the number of hogs raised was
doubled, that the loss by cholera and
the number of infected farms more
than quadrupled.
In 1914 the survey shows that from
January /, 1914 to July l, 1914, there
were reported Al infected farms with
the loss during that first six months
of the year placed at 955 hogs. And
in view OF the fact hat the greater
part of the losses each year from hos
cholera occur after the first Of July
1t will be observed that there was no
abatement of the disease, but rather
that it was still on the increase.
South Side Was Hit Hard.
During these three years of the
development of the hog industry on
the South Side Twin Falls tract,
cholera spread like a plague and 1t
seemed that there was no ultimate end
to the business but to quit it entirely
for the plague as it was then called
had completely outdone the efforts OF
local veterinarians who seemed ap-
solutely unable to correctly diagnose
the disease, or to be able to cope with
it in any way successfully. During
the year 1912 there were raised on
the South Side tract, 2S,2S3 hogs. Or
these cholera claimed 2,432 On 81 in
fected farms. In 1912 there were
raised 3,795 hogs of which number
there were lost by cholera, 10,SS7 hogs
on 231 infected farms. From January
/, 1914 to July /, 1914, there were re-
ported rs infected farms with a loss
OF $50 hogs SO that it will be seen
there was no abatement of the spread
of the disease.
The North Side Had Its Share
The North Side Twin Falls segre-
CATION as districted by the Bureau OF
Animal Industry from the local office
at Twin Falls includes 4 school dis
triets in Minidoka county and two from
Lincoln county. In this territory dur
ing 1912 there were raised 5,798 hogs
of which number cholera claimed GIG
During the year 1913 there were raised
1924 hogs, cholera again taking Of
SIG head. From January l 1914 un'
til July /, 1914 there were 13 infected
herds with a loss of 264. In 191:
there were reported three infected
herds, in 1918 it had increased to 1;
infected herds while for the frs
six months of 1914 there were 10. Sc
that it will be observed the number
Of infected herds was increasing will

before DEATH. r"covery. Notwith-
standing the dissimilarID al tac symp-
IONS and the LESSONS observed in
these two types of hog cholera, tho
%causative agent is the same in both,
the difference in the manifestations
of the disease being no doubt due t.
a veriation in the virulence of the
germs which cause the disease, anu
possibly to some extent also to d
veriation in the resisting power OF
hogs.
Hog cholera Is found I'm practically
all parts OF the world, and is especial
ly prevalent in the large h~og-raising
districts of the United States. The
first recorded outbreak I'm this
try occurred in the year 1888 in the
state OF Ohio, and Is supposed to have
arisen through the importation OF hogs
from European countries. where the
disease, no doubt. existed prior to its
appearance In this country. From the
original enter of infection the dis
ease has gradually extended to all
portions Of the United States, the
spread being usually along the lines
of transportation. Owing TO the form
er limited facilities for communica-
ton between the eastern n the Paci-
fic coast states, the later section re-
manned free Of this disease until with
in the last few years, but reports TO
ceived during the past few months
show hat the disease now exists In
all OF these sections Inc that at the
resent time no section OF the United
States may be regarded as free from
hog cholera. Enormous losses are
caused yearly In the large hog-rais-
ing states Of the middle west and II
may be safely said that several of
these states lose yearly an average
Of more than 10000 o each from
this source alone. While outbreaks
may occur At all seasons Of the year.
the great majority take place during
the late summer and fall. The NOR
tally from hog cholera b ~ high a.

American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1915-09-30

average is probably from 70 to so
per cent, and many Of the hogs which
survive are practically worthless, ow-
ing to their being weakened and stunt
ed in growth.
The Germ Which Causes Hog Cholera
The germ or microbe which causes
hog cholera is present in the blood
of sick hogs and also in the excre-
lions from such hogs, particularly in
the urine. 1t has been shown that the
disease can be produced almost with
out fail by inoculating we'll hogs with
the blood or urine from sick hogs.
The germ which is 1 nthis blood and
urine is so small, or else Of such struc-
ure, that it cannot be seen with the
strongest microscopes now available.
1t has never been cultivated in labora-
tories, as has been done with many
other infectious germs, and we know
of 1t only by the effects 1t produces.
The germ of hog cholera is therefore
ciassed with the Invisible micro-or-
ganisms," and in this respect 1t re-
sembles those which bring about a
number of other diseases of animals
and men, notably yellow fever, conta-
gious pleuro-pneumonia, South Afri-
can horse sickness, and foot-and-
mouth disease.
Predisposing Causes.
While the specific cause of hog chol-
era is the minute micro-organ-
ism or germ just referred to ),
there are many factors which may
render a herd more susceptible to the
disease. In general, anything which
tends to lower the health of the ami
mails may be regarded as a predis-
posing cause. Among the health of the
animals may be regarded as a pre-
posing cause. Among such pre-
d~isposing factors there may be mem
toned improper feeding, an unsanitary
condition of the hog lots, damp or
cold sleeping places, and dirty drink
ing and feeding troughs. OF course
|insanitary surroundings and poor feed
car not in themselves produce hog
cholera, but they lower the vitality OF
hogs to such an extent that they be-
come comparatively easy victims Of
any disease-producing germs to which
they are exposed.

have the opportunity to contract the
disease, but the interval between ship
ment and delivery to the purchaser Is

livery, when Il is usually too late To
prevent the spread Of disease to hogs
already on the farm. Obviously the
only safe plan in such cases is TO
place all new arrivals I'm lots entirely
separated from those occupied by tn.
main herd and to keep them isolated
until danger of their developing hog
cholera has passed.
Some Precautions Urged.
Aside from the danger Of introduce
ing infection through the hogs them
selves 1t must be remembered that tn.
germ OF the disease, which as already
stated is enthusiastically small, may be
transported In a minute particle or
dirt on the feet of attendants or neigh
bors who have previously visited
farms where hog cholera exists. II may
also be carried in this way by dogs,
and by COWS and by other birds. II
has been claimed and considerable
proof has been brought to show II,
that the disease may be carried down
stream from herds which are affected
above. 1t is therefore well to avoid
placing hogs SO that they will have
access to stream which pass through
other farms. AS diseased hogs are
frequently transported by rail, 1t Ii
quite possible for Infection to be in
troduced into a farm By litter dropped
from cars in transit, especially II hogs
on the farm have ces to the tracks.
After hog cholera has visited \ farm,
the lots. hog houses. feeding troughs.
and implements used for cleaning have
naturally become contaminated with

stock is placed in such yards soon ar
ter these we're occupied by sick hogs,
the new hogs are very likely to rom
tract the disease. but If such yards
are left unoccupied the germs will die
out after a while. Unfortunately Il,
is not possible to tell with certaint,
Just how long a time is required for
these germs to die out. this uncertain
ty being due to the fact that conditions
on different farms vary widely, and
also because the weather conditions,
which have an important influence
upon the vitality of the hog-cholera
germ, vary from time to time and In
different sections of the country. In
view of this uncertainty tits safes,
to wait as long as possible before
placing new hogs in lots that have
been infected. Such premises should
not be re-stocked sooner than three
months after the last hog has been
removed. And before restocking such
premises should be cleaned and
thoroughly disinfected in the manner
described under the heading of Gen
eral Disinfecting" which will form an
other chapter of this article.
Symptoms Of Hog Cholera.
The symptoms of hog cnoIera are
such that any intelligent person may
with careful study make a reasonable
diagnosis OF outward appearances,
enough so at least, that sick hogs may
be detected In time to summon the aid
Of a competent veterinary and have
relief measures taken before the dis
ease has made much Roadway. The

Ways In Which Hog Cholera Germ
May Reach a Herd.
Although the conditions just men
toned undoubtedly exert considerable
influence upon the relative resisting
powers of hogs to hog cholera, the
disease can be started in a herd only
by introducing the germ which causes
1t. This germ is always present in the
bodies of sick hogs, and is thrown off
from them in large numbers in the
feces and urine, thus contaminatins
the yards or pens In which sick hogs
are kept. The most dangerous factor
in spreading hog cholera is, therefore,
the sick hog; but any agency which
might serve to carry a particle of dirt
from infected yards may be the means
of starting an outbreak Of the disease.
Sick hogs may get on to a farm az
by escaping from a neighboring herd,
(2) by the purchase of new stock
which may show no symptoms of sick
ness until some days after purchase,
(3) by returning show hogs to herds
after visits TO fairs or stock shows,
(4) by purchase of hogs which have
apparently recovered from hog
cholera. The risk incurred by pur-
chase Of new hogs or the return of
hogs which have been shown at fairs
is chiefly due to the fact that such
hogs are generally transported by rail
unleaded in public stock yards, or
driven along public roads. 1t is well
known that sick hogs are frequently
shipped by rail. and the roads over

How Uncle Sam is Handling Hog Cholera
By M BRADLEY

1912 a careful survey of the number
of hogs raised showed 4,S45 Of which
cholera took 215 on two infected farms,
this outbreak being especially violent.
In 1913 there were again raised l1,155
hogs of which were lost 1,275 head oil
10 infected farms. From January /.
1914 to July 1, 1914 there were re-
ported three infected herds, the loss
totalling % hogs. 1t will be observed
again that on this tract the increase of
infected farms was terrific there being
more than nine times as many with
the subsequent loss being multiplied
by six.
Minidoka Project Gets Off Easy.
The Minidoka project had escaped
up until July l, 1914 with no infected
herds or no loss reported and it was
fondly believed that this territory from
some especial cause was immune to
hog cholera. How well their hopes
were founded will be shown later on
in this account. However the hog
business was steadily assuming great
er proportions and many breeders
secure in the belief that cholera was
going to pass them up spent much
money in improving their herds. The
survey shows that during 1912 there
with no infection and naturally no loss
by cholera. In 1918 there were re-
ported 16,SS9 hogs, no infection, no
loss. From January !, 1914 TO July 1.
1914 there were no inrections~and no
losses. The hogs were doing COM
p%aratively well and every one was
happy. Farmers were busy building
bitches, clearing and preparing then
land for the crops and outside of car
ing for the small pigs, the hogs were
happy and on many farms were given
the freedom not only of the farm but
of the neighbours farms and the pub
lie highways as we'll. Every hog farm
er had his own mark and 1t was only
at roundup time that much attention
was paid to his hogs. This condi-
ton prevailed until October s, 1914,
and Their the blow fell and on hat day
the I1oH tllOltld SOllllO bulNdu az
Twin Falls received its first call for
aid from a Minidoka project farmer.
The government veterinarian who re-
sponded found n hog dead when he
arrived on the scene and in a herd of
&c hogs 26 had high temperatures.
They were vaccinated at once and
when the quarantine was lifted from
this herd it was found that there
had been but one hog lost after treat
ment. Since that time, or from Octo-
Der s, 1914 until September l, 1915,
there have been "a outbreaks OF
cholera. The bureau has treated g.
LOG head of hogs in which there were
1888 hogs with high temperatures in
dicating cholera. In other WORDS
there were 1888 visibly sick hogs. OF
the number treated, 3,106 in all, there
have been lost to date but 81, a loss
of .02 per cent. OF the 7SS visibly
sick hogs lost the loss is less than
8 per cent.

Where Did 1t Come From.

Hog cholera is a disease which has
always been more or less e%nshrouded
in mystery insofar as the ability OF
scientists to discover the germ is
concerned. 1t is an acute febrile dis
ease which, so far as known, affects
only hogs, and which is characterized
by extreme contagiousness and a very
high death rate. 1t is usual to speak
of two forms of this disease. One is
called the acute and the other the
'hronic form. This is because OF the
that in some cases the disease

be permitted to remain in st. Louis as
long as his behavior is Good, In case II
Ii not the state fire marshal will demand
his return and that he serve out his sen
