The real cause of hog cholera Is a
very small germ found in the blood or

which tends to lower the health of the
animal, such us Improper feeding. In
sanitary conditions of hog lots. damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding troughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the Introduction of the germ Into
the herd and the organism is always
present In the bodies of sick hogs and
is thrown Off In the feces and urine.
the most dangerous factor in spread
Ing the disease is the sick animal.
1t may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from neighboring herd,
by the purchase of new stock not
showing symptoms. by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase of hogs which ap-
parently have recovered.
The symptoms are not constant and
uniform, therefore the disease cannot
always be diagnosed with absolute GER
tainty. Animals suffering from intes-
tinal troubles, indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re-
semble those of cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-

degrees F. or higher); are consti-

blood; a characteristic odor Is pres
