CHOLERA TAKES LARGE TOLL
Losses Have Been Greatly Reduced
and May Be Wiped Out Entirely
BY Right Treatment.

August and September take the
heaviest toll through hog cholera, the
bane of swine keepers, which in years
past has wiped out entire herds after
an expensive seasons feeding. In GER
tain years the hog-cholera toll has run
as high as IA per 1000 through the
United States. Preventive measures
developed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have reduced
the toll to 3S. The experts, whose
work has effected this annual multi
million-dollar saving, assert conf
IDENTIFY that the means of absolute in
surance from hog cholera losses Is
within the reach of any farmer who
cares to take the precautionary trou-
bic and expense.
The serum treatment, developed
about Is years ago and first put into
general use within the last six or
seven years, gives immunity if In
jected in time. This serum treatment
is described fully in Farmers Bulletin
834, which should be kept at hand for
ready reference by every hog raiser.

Elements. clothing Of laborers, and
even in running water. Sanitation will
cut down the danger, but it is not an
absolute preventive. Unless the farm
err has taken the precaution to have
all of his herd immunized with serum
and virus, an operation which should
be done by veterinarian or spe-
cially trained layman, there is always
possibility of the disease breaking out
unexpectedly.
The farmers protection lies in the
fact that usually only one or two mem
hers of the herd are affected at first,
and he should be on the watch. One
or two hogs will refuse to come up to
feed with the herd. They will remain
hidden in the nest, and when driven
from the bed their backs may be
arched and they may appear cold, and
shiver The rest of the herd may re-
main apparently well for several days.
when others are likely to be found af-
fected in about the same way as those
first attacked. AS the disease pro-
crosses the sick hogs become gaunt or
tucked up in the TANKS, and have
weak, staggering gait, the weakness be-
ing most marked in the hind legs.
II the lungs are affected there may
be a cough, which is particularly no
ticeable when the hogs are disturbed.
The eyes usually are inflamed and
show a whitish discharge, which may
cause the lids to stick together. Con-
stipation, which is commonly present
in the early days Of the disease, is
generally followed by diarrhoea. AS
the disease reaches its height red or
purplish blotches are likely to appear
upon the skin of the ears, OF the
belly, and the inner surfaces of the
legs.
Some of the symptoms mentioned
may be present in other diseases, but
the owner should remember that
cholera spreads rapidly through a
herd and no time should be lost in
calling a veterinarian to diagnose the
disease and administer the proper
treatment. If the disease is cholera
heavy losses can be averted only by
prompt administration of hog-cholera
serum.
Autopsy should be performed upon
hogs which die of any disease. Indica-
tons of cholera are described in the
bulletin referred to. The most impor-
tant thing is TO be prepared and to
act promptly.
Locate hog lots and pastures away
from streams and public highways,
and do not allow hogs to run on free
range or highways, nor to have ac-
cess to canals or irrigated bitches.
Do not drive into hog lots after
driving on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
