HOW TO PREVENT THIS COSTLY PLAGUE

Hogs having access to manure or bedding from
such cows are almost certain to get the disease.
The safest plan is to keen your hogs absolutely
away from your dairy cattle unless your herd has
been tuberculin tested and is known to be free
from tuberculosis. The risk more than offsets any
feeding advantage
In the case of steers or other cattle known as
feeders" it is comparatively safe to allow hogs
TO follow them, as the disease is not very common
among these animals and thew usually are sold off
the farm before the disease if contracted develops
10 point where their droppings would be infected.
