Swine pox, as it is called, chiefly af fects young pigs and growing shoats. The pox appears on the hair-free por tions . of the body, especially on the belly, snout and armpits.

Swine pox also appears sometimes on brood sows, pox sores developing on their udders and teats. In these cases, suckling pigs develop sore mouths, and starve. Farmers should be cautious about Introducing new pigs into a herd, and should always isolate them for a few weeks. The buyer should de mand a certificate of veterinary In spection when new pigs are pur chased. Poxy pigs 6hould never be sold to neighbors, as the disease is very contagious. .', .
