HOG CHOLERA WARNING
ISSUED BY NORGORD

Commissioner C. P. Norgord of the
state department of agriculture has is
sued a warming to farmers to study
their herds for evidence Of hog chol-
era. He says that Wisconsin may lose
a large sum if a general epidemic were
to break out. One start of the disease
was stamped out recently in Barron
county, with small loss. Men from the
state veterinary Office are working in
Buffalo county and expect to avert a
threatened epidemic there. Farmers
are urged to examine their hogs at
once and to report by wire or tele-
phone the slightest evidence of symp-
toms. Men are waiting in the capital
with serum ready to start at mo-
ment's notice for the farm where the
disease appears.
