HOG CHOLERA CAUSED
BY VERY SMALL GERM
Dangerous Factor in Spreading
Disease Is Sick Animal.
Ailnnent Cannot Always Be Diagnosed
With Absolute Certainty, ~ symp-

vention 10 Best.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
The real cause of hog cholera is a
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. It may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health Of the
animal, such as 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.
It may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from a 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
taihty. Animals suffering from intes-
final troubles, indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re.
semble those OF cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-
gether have temperatures CLOS to 1O7
degrees F. or higher; are consti-
pated; the feces often streaked with
blood: a characteristic odor is pres.
