Many farmers will not only let few
animals get sick but even let half of
them die before sending word to the
county office and giving us chance
to aid In saving their hogs.
Farmers should not wait even for
the first animal to die. They should
send word to me Just as soon as a
single animal appears to be sick, and
| will come Immediately to the place,
find out for certain whether or not the
trouble is cholera. and aid the man in
saving his herd. That is what l am
being paid to stay here and do. My
expenses are already paid and it will
not cost the farmer a cent for me to
come to his place. inspect his swine
