SANITATION A FACTOR

S~VNt WIN - = ~ WI
This is due largely to the fact that
methods for the control Of the disease
have been found and put into practice
Vaccination, quarantine and sanitation
have been the agencies for stopping
this swine plague from equalling its
former cost to the farmers, according
TO DR.. SimonS. who says, "Six years
ago practically every farmer had his
doubts about serum and virus treat
ment for hog cholera. Today nearly
every successful farmer uses It. Laws
have been made regulating the manu-
facture of serum and virus in the lab
oratories which undergo a rigid test
for purity, potency and virulency
which assures proper immunization Of
hogs against cholera. Thus it is made
safe for the farmer and profitable as
we'll in that he can thus prevent losses
BY this dread plague, hog cholera
FARMERS COOPERATE
DR.. Simons says that another biz
factor in helping fight the spread OF
cholera has been the cooperation of
the farmers and local veterinarians.
The most cases reported recently in
the district over which he has charge,
are In north and west portions of
Wapello and the south half Of Mahaska
counties.
The district under DR.. Simons direc.
ton includes the following counties
Appanoose, Davis, Lucas. Monroe,
Van Buren,, Jefferson, Wapello, Wayne
and the south half of Mahaska.
