sulting profits largely depend upon
successful hog raising. In Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and other great hog
raising states, the hogs follow the
cattle; they eat after the cattle. Com
bined they bring the farmer a good
revenue. With hog raising left out,
the cattle in these states can be
grown only at a loss.
Probably no blight or disease with
which the farmer has to contend, and
he has many, is so absolutely discour-
aging as hog cholera. It's devastation
is almost complete. With drove of
100 or perhaps 1000 prime hogs just
ready for the market, he has almost
the feel of the money-$1, 900 or $10,-
000-within his hand. They are
healthy and fat, a sight good to look
upon. Then a hog on an adjoining
farm rubs snouts with one of them,
through the fence, and before the week
is out half the hogs of the drove are
infected, and the chances are that
in another week, instead of 100 hogs,
there will be less than dozen strag-
glers. Even with a good bank ac-
count, it takes some nerve for this
particular farmer to start all over
again; the chances are that he will
quit the hog business.
All the precautions of sanitation and
cleanliness may be of little avail in
combating cholera. An entire drove
of a thousand hogs may be swept away
from the germs carried on the boots
of a farmland who has visited some
distant farm, while dogs, turkey buz-
yards, crows, etc., may transmit the
disease.
There are just two things to be
done; first, stop the sale of fake and
dangerous anticholera serums, and Sec
ond to supply hog raisers with the
Dorset serum. Hog raisers are will
ing to pay the cost of inoculation.
The trouble has been that there is not
enough serum to supply the demand,
and the farmers have used danger
Gus substitutes. To insure a $15 hog
by inoculating him at a cost of %
cents is good business, and when the
government manufactures serum on q
liberal scale, this cost will be consid-
erably reduced. With hog cholera un-
der control, not only would we have
more pork, but more beef. If hog
cholera can be abolished, as it should
be by means of the Dorset serum, the
United States in two years can be re-
stored to it's old place as the greatest
meat exporting nation in the world,
The appropriation Of half million
dollars in the Kenyon law for the
stamping out of cholera is an authori
zation to do the most practical work
possible toward increasing the nation
al meat supply.

undertaken by anybody
before. The American investment in
the hog business represents some $780,
100000, the number of hogs on the
farms last year being 61,000,000; yet
there is no other animal which suf-
fers such tremendous loss from dis
ease-thrOugh hog cholera.
1t is estimated that the loss OF
pork last year through this disease
reached the enormous total of 95,000,-
600 pounds, or ten pounds of meat for
every man, woman, and child in the
United States-a net loss of some $780,
100000. Moreover, this great loss is
by no means exceptional. The loss
for the year following the one thus
estimated will be greater, it is be-
lieved, by perhaps $20000.000 or $685.
100000, while as far back as 1897 the
loss was stated by the federal bu-
reau of animal industry to be not far
from $100,000,000 for that year.
The strange thing is that the cause
of hog cholera has been definitely de-
termined and a specific, an almost in
fallible remedy, has been discovered,
but that little has been done toward
applying it.
When hog cholera strikes a drove
of hogs it usually sweeps through it
like a whirlwind, killing in a period
of 10 or 20 days from 50 to 90 per
cent of the drove. When the remedy,
or rather preventive treatment is ap-
piled, the loss is reduced to less than
/ per cent.
In presenting these facts, Senator
Kenyon was principally quoting our
own department of agriculture, which,
if it has done anything, has studied
the American hog; so that his author
ity may be considered exceptionally
good. The Iowa senator won out
handsomely, for congress passed his
bill appropriating $5O0,OO0 to enable
the secretary of agriculture to pro-
ceed with the stamping out of the dis
ease, and the work has been begun
with enthusiasm by the department Of
agriculture.
An absolute preventive has been
found for the universal hog cholera,
a serum developed by DR.. M. Dorset,
q practical scientist in the depart
ment of agriculture, which as surely
prevents cholera in hogs as the bet
ter known serum in typhoid or the
vaccine of smallpox, or antitoxin of
diphtheria prevents those diseases in
the human family. Doctor Dorset has
patented his priceless process and has
presented it to the people of the Unit
ed States. 1t has been tried out with
the most gratifying results.
Control of hog cholera by the use of
the Dorset serum, as practiced by the
department of agriculture, and the
more progressive Of the hog-raising
states, presents one of the most in
teresting examples Of the results of
scientific research. The hog cholera
germ is so small as to be invisible un-
der the most powerful microscope.
That it is a germ has been determined
only by actual experiments in in-
noculating healthy hogs with the

blood of cholera-diseased animals.
The anticholera serum which is in
jected into healthy hogs to render
them immune is obtained by taking
naturally immune hog, or one which
has recovered from cholera, and in
jecting into its circulation some blood
from hog suffering from a bad case
of cholera. Outwardly this treatment
affects the immune hog only slightly !;
it does not give it cholera, but it
makes the animal still more highly
une-hyper-immUne This hyper
immune hog is then bled several times
from its tail and finally from the
carotid artery which results in the
death of the animal. From the large
amount of blood thus obtained the
antichOlera serum is made, and when
this is injected into an ordinary hog
it renders it cholera proof without,
however, affecting the animal. The
immunity lasts only a few weeks, but
an interesting and highly important
phase of the work whereby the hog
is made immune against cholera for
the rest of its life consists in the in
lection of some blood from a cholera
sick hog.
This double injection, then, keeps
the animal from having hog cholera
and at the same time makes him per-
manently immune. The same results
are affected, if the hog Immediately
after being innoculated with the
serum, is exposed to other hogs suffer
ing from hog cholera. All of which
indicates the fact that large amount
Of careful experimentation has been
undertaken by the bureau of animal
industry of the department Of agri-
culture.
With such a devastating disease as
hog cholera prevalent throughout the
entire country it follows that many
remedies and of late many hog cholera
serums have appeared upon the mar
ket. The frauds and grafters have
reaped a golden harvest through the
sale of their worthless and even dam
gerous concoctions. In order to pre-
vent the manufacture and sale of
these fake remedies, a bill has been
introduced prohibiting the interstate
shipment of any hog cholera serums
which are not approved by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Where the government serum has
been used, however, the records show
that the percentage of loss is almost
nothing-less than 1 per cent. Even
in badly afflicted droves the treatment
has saved a large proportion of the
hogs and has many times paid for it.
