HOG CHOLERA WARMING
ISSUED BY w. j. WILSON, SPE-
CIAIIST AT THE STATE
COLLEGE.

Bookings, Oct. 26.-"Even though
hog cholera has been stamped out on
our farms, there is always a posi-
bility of infection still remaining on
the premises, hence we must main
tain due precautions at all times to
prevent a return of the disease"
warns w. j. Wilson, assistant in Sc
rum production at the South Dakota
State college. He say further:
I'VE must not allow ourselves to
feel too secure in the belief that
complete eradication has been accom-
plished, although by the judicious
use of serum and the practice of hy-
gienic and sanitary methods the dis
ase has been checked in many To-
calities. The virus, or germ, that is
the specific cause of hog cholera is
not killed by cold weather; it does,
however, become weakened and lies
dormant awaiting a time when con-
ditions of temperature, food, mois-
ture. ETC., are favorable to its renew
ed growth and activity. @sEs9 !
III due precautions are taken
throughout the winter there is small
likelihood that there will be any
trouble. even though there are chol-
era germs present. but with the COM
ing of spring and warm weather, at
the time of weaving the young pigs,
they, having outgrown the immunity
derived from the SOW, will become
susceptible. and preventive means
should be taken Immediately to pre-
vent an outbreak.
Employ all preventive measures
possible. notably sanitation. plenty of
sunlight in feeding and sleeping
quarters, clean troughs. yards and
pens. and the use of sheep dip as a
disinfectant in spraying the hogs to

ing Commissioner with blank forms for
that purpose
