HOG CHOLERA IS EXPENSIVE
Your county agent never ceases
to be amazed at those farmers
who fail to vaccinate their hogs
for cholera.
Vaccination gives the best con-
troll in areas where the disease
is common. Kent county is such
an area. - -
Cholera control costs only IL
per pig marketed In Canada today
against a cost of 45c per pig in
the United States. The reason,
according to DR.. w. M. Reynolds
USDA veterinarian here at Dow
er, Is because the disease has
been largely eliminated in Cana
da. They need to fight only the
very infrequent outbreaks. And
then they are able to pay i'm
IDENTITIES for animals slaughter
