Y.'ashington dispatch to the Omaha Bee: During the hearings before the .’.grlcultural committee recently Dr. Melvin of the bureau of animal indus try made the statement that they hail discovered a cure for hog cholera. Mr. Pollard asked Dr. Melvin: ' Are your scientists able to go into a lot of hogs that are infected with this malady and by applying this remedy prevent the continued mortality of the herd?" "Yes. sir.” was the reply, “they have done that." "After it has broken out?" Yes. sir: uot oulv our own men. but in some of the states." "What percentage can you save in a herd of that kind?" "I do not know definitely. 1 think V would lie safe in saying 98 per cent. We have gone into herds where the disease was prevalent and treated one half of the herd and left the other half untreated, and nearly all the untreated hogs would die and the others would survive. That was done in a number of instances." Upon learning that no co-operative work along this lint had been under taken in connection witli the Nebraska station. Mr. Pollard took the matter up with Prof. E. A. Burnett of Lincoln and has just recei.ed word that Dr. Melvin has recently been in l.oncola and discussed the matter with Prof. Burnett and Dr. Peters of the Ne braska station.

Mr. Pollard says that if there -.k any epidemics of hog cholera existing in the First district he will be giad to take the matter up with the depart ment with the view of having an ex pert sent to the neighborhood who will be prepared to administer the Treatment to the diseased herds if the existence of such epidemic is brought to his attention.
