HOG CHOLERA CONTROL

L
Altho hog cholera can not be
completely eradicated from the
United States under present con-
ditions, losses from the disease
can be materially reduced by
education and organization of
hog raisers in the application of
proper treatment of hogs with
anti-hog-cholera serum. This has
been shown by the results OBJ
tanned by the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture in
experimental work in hog-cho-
lera control carried on in a num-
Der of counties during the four
past years. The work and it's
results are described in Depart
ment Bulletin 584, THE Control
of Hog Cholera" recently pub
lished by the department.
Hog Raising Thrives Under
Control.
One of the important results,
according to the bulletin, is the
fact that the work while effec-
tive in reducing the disease, was
not repressive while in progress
on the hog-raising industry. On
the contrary the industry thrives
in the experimental counties to
a greater degree than in ajacent
counties in which no control
work was under way.
Actual statistics were taken in
the experimental counties and
careful estimates were made in
the adjacent counties. These
show that in one group of three
counties where the control work
has been under way four years
the percentage of loss from hog
cholera has remained constantly
from one-fourth to two-fifths the
percentage of loss in the Is sur
rounding counties. In another
group of experimental counties
the average percentage of loss as
compared with that in Is sur
rounding counties was reduced
from approximately nine-tenths
in 1913 to less than one-third in
1914 and to about one-sixteenth
in 1915.
Community Needs in Combating
Cholera.
Specialists who have supervis-
ed the control work of the de-
partment reach the conclusion
that while the eradication of hog
cholera can not be expected for
a considerable time, the ma
terial reduction by the use OF
serum of the enormous losses
which annually are caused by the
disease is entirely practicable
The essentials for success in com
batting the disease. they point
out, are interest on the part o.
hog raisers and knowledge Of tn,
disease: organization which viii
facilitate exchange of informa
ton as to outbreaks, and secur,
assistance; serum at REASONABLE,
prices and easy of access; ant
the available service in the com
munity of persons skilled in ad
ministering serum.

to show our manifest. We sent a man
to Washington with copy OF the mani

time that did not appear on the manifests,
and I deny that any of our ships has at
any time furnished supplies to German
submarine. The captain of the Manito-
voc is a Dane, who has taken out his
first papers and has no love for the Ger
mans. Our company was blacklisted be-
cause of my name. Wagner.

with the crew, which disgruntled, prob
ably sought to make further trouble for
him for that reason.

stated, after the authorities became
satisfied that the reports that the
ships were supplying submarines were
untrue.
