Town Industry
Is Hog Serum
Feeders Mixture
Creates Business

FRANKLIN, Neb. - UP -
The late c. w. Hevner, cattle
feeder, began making his own
serum for the immunization OF
his hogs against cholera in 1912;
today, the Hevner Serum Co. is
major Franklin industry,
crossing $4,000 a year.
The firm, one of 40 in the
United States, now annually
purchases an average OF 10000
hogs weighing from 100 TO l40
pounds. 1t buys over an area Of
several states 10 secure animals
that have not been immunized
against the disease.
Smaller hogs, used in making
the virus, cannot be sold to
packers because the meat has
been infected. However, other
hogs, which are immunized and
then injected with the virus for
production of the serum, are
sent 10 packers after several
bleedingS. In Slaughtering, pack
erS save the blood and return 1t
TO the plant.
Approximately 20 per cent of
the hogs are used in making the
virus, and 80 per cent for serum
production.
A 500-acre farm is operated in
conjunction with the serum
plant to provide year-round
work for employees and to sup
ply much of the feed needed for
the hogs. It is estimated that
1000 animals are on feed and
in the lots at all times.

orders through the country, re-
