State Cholera Loss
$4,000 In Year

Hog cholera robbed Wisconsin
farmers of 22,774 hogs in the year
ending May 1. according to the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
This means that II out of each
thousand hogs on the farms of this
state were sacrificed to this dis
ease and, at $500 the head, took
S296,O62 out of the pockets of their
owners.
Compared to the year before,
however, the losses from this dread
disease are somewhat lower. The
number Of hogs claimed by this ma
lady for 1923 was 1890, or at the
rate of 21.S hogs out of each thous-
and, better showing than the
average for the United States
which is 30.8 out of thousand hogs
or a total of 1,674,746 for the coun-
try. This is the new low record
touched last year compared to
the 40 TO SO per thousand that
was considered usual before. In
the epidemic of 1914 the death
rate reached 106 per thousand and
in the severe outbreak which reach
ed it's peak in 1897 the rate was
1870 per thousand with the industry
practically, wiped out in some sec
tions. The total ross sustained in
the country last year was some
what above $2O,000,000 as compared
to $65,O0O,O00 in one previous year
and an average annual loss for the
past forty years of not less than
$3O,O0O,OOO.
Despite the excellent record of
last year Wisconsin farmers are
urged by the Institute to take all
possible precaution and to be con-
stantly on the alert to prevent
infection of their hogs. Greater
=
precaution at the yards and the
wide use of protective serum viii
tend toward improvement in the
future as they were effective last
year. Once the disease is discov-
ed in a herd, serum treatments
should be Immediately applied, and
the hogs kept on slight diet IN
sanitary quarters with plentiful
supply of pure drinking water on
hand Hogs having a temperature
of 104 in ordinary weather should
be given an increased dose of
the serum. Too, the premises should
be rid of all piles, litter and rub
bish, wallow holes, and old straw

Sun To Play
Part in Egg
Production
(By the United Press1

Sunshine, both natural and arti-
fetal, is due to play a more impor-
tant role in the poultry industry
in the state because it has the
ability to increase egg production
and to improve hatch ability, &C
cording to a report of recent exper-
iments by G. Halpin and o. N.
Johnson of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.
The experiments are said to
show the greatest value of ultra
violet, ray to the joultryman. This
light is found in sunshine and can
also be produced artificially by the
ultra violet ray light machine.
Egg production increased 1909
in an experimental pen at the col
lege under the influence of the
light, and hatch ability increased
from less than 5000 to better than
SO percent, according to j. G. Hal
pin, head of the poultry depart
ment.

loss if there should be further delay
in it's accomplishment and how we
shall go about it to obtain results at
the earliest possible moment. From
