HOG CHOLERA CONTROLLED.

Prove Efficiency Of Service.
The following letter was received re-
Gently from the e4-president of the
Dallas County Anti-Hog Cholera As
aociatinn as an appreciation Of the
work done IN that county to deman-
strate that cholera could be controlled.
He gives permission for It's publication
that farmers may know more ef the
work:
Dr.. ]. s. Koen. U. 8. Inspector In
Charge. pes Moines. Iowa. Dear
Sir; II has been almost a year since
the government inspectors left Dallas
county and we have had an emporium
lty of seeing that their work has had
. lasting influence.
We have gone thru another cholera
season with but very little loss. Never
again will cholera be menace to the
swine industry Of our county for the
farmers here are too well informed to
permit many hogs to die from cholera
now.
When DR. Hess came to Dallas coun-
ty four years ago to demonstrate that
hog cholera could be eradicated he re-
ceived the support Of a limited number
OF the better stock men Of the county.
A large part Of the people were .skepti-
cal and wherever the matter was dis
cussed there were accusations OF mer-
cenary motives, charges OF fraud and
large number Of honest farmers who
had tried serum and lost hogs were
bitter IN their denunciationa.
We had cholera, at least the hogs
died. Stock food agents said It was
worms, ana the trouble was diagnosed
| in various ways. but still hogs died
Poor success attended much OF the
serum treatment. The season before
DR.. Hess came, and when the plague
began to spread whole herds In the
wake NJ Il went to market; everything
big ana little, hundreds Of pigs weigh
Iing 80 to 100 pounds. Their owners
Iresspned that II was better than bury

farmers in different places sbout the
situation, could understand why hog
cholera is so small a factor In Dallas
county and why we can market all the
hogs we raise.
Our farmers organizations have
never been as effective everywhere as
our veterinartes desired, but the better
the organization the sooner farmers
learned to control cholera Most
trouble came where the organiza-
ton was ineffective. Farmers are glad
to cooperate when they come TO un-
