SURE CURE FOR HOC CHOLERA ,
—
Dr. Melvin Tells Mr. Pollard He Can
Save Afflicted Herd.
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.
The method requires an expert to
administer it. but it is hoped that a
system can be arranged whereby it
will be possible for the farmer to
handle it himself.
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.
Stock Shippers Complain.
R. \Y. Rais:on has complained to the

trains are stopped two miles from the
depot, and the yards are not lighted.
That if the shipper had to go to the
■own for something to eat he fre
quently returned to find the train gone,
and he always has to run the risk of
being injured by Burlington trains in
crossing tracks.
