DISEASE TAKES BIG HOG
TOLL
Loss in Missouri May Run into the
Millions.

Jefferson City, Dec. I3-Dr. ID. F.
l.uckcy. state veterinarian, IS send
ing out official notices to the effect
that hog cholera and other fatal dis
eases OF hogs are becoming preva-
lent in Missouri and threaten losses
running into many million dollars
He considers the situation alarming.
He says new disease has broken
out among hogs all over the United
States that is causing heavy losses
and for which no preventive treat
ment has yet been discovered.
This new trouble he says, ZAP
pears to be a complication of dis
eases. In some cases vaccination
appears to stop it, but in the next
outbreak the same treatment may
fail entirely. Hogs that are immune
from cholera take the new disease
Farmers and stock raisers are
warned to separate sick from well
hogs and notify the department
when the disease appears.
