Early Diagnosis of Hog Cholera
'Vital-Early diagnosis is one OF the
most important steps in the control
of hog cholera, which has developed
on many farms in Minnesota this
year. Responsibility Of proper dag
nosis and the method of procedure to
follow, lay with the veterinarian, who
should be called as soon as the pigs
appear to be sick.
Emphasizing the Importance of a
correct diagnosis, DIR. H. G. II. Kern
kamp of the division of veterinary
medicine, University of Minnesota,
says that if hog cholera serum were
to be used on swine suffering from
some disease other than cholera re-
suits would be discouraging.
GIN outbreaks of cholera antl-hog
cholera serum cannot be used too
soon," he says. "Serum is not cure,
but it may be given in large doses to
swine in the early stages of the dis
or Ter. Even if only few hogs are
saved, the serum will pay for ITSELF"

Protein Survey of Wheat Crop
Finished-In carrying on survey OF
the 1925 wheat crop grown in Mime
sofa, to determine the crude protein
content, the State Department OF
Agriculture collected 1853 wheat SAM
piles from SO counties and made an
analysis of each sample. Six hum
.dred eighty-three sample of hard red
spring wheat varied from 81 per cent
to 1871 per cent of crude protein.
The a, erage was 11.67 per cent,
or a slight increase over he
average of the 1924 survey.
The best protein sections as indicat-
ed by the survey were found in the
territory adjacent to the Minnesota
river, from the east-central portion OF
the state to the west state line. All
the facts are given in Bullein No. 40,
which discusses the baking values OF
wheat and protein as an index for
values and also as a basis for price.
