An appropriation of 15000 was
made by the last legislature for the
production of hog cholera serum un
der the direction of the department of
animal pathology of the Nebraska ex
periment station As this bill did not
carry the emergency clause the funds
svere not aAailable until July 7 In
order that the serum produced shall
be as uniform as possible it is neces
sary to mix the four bleedings from
each hog then mix those from a
1 her of hogs together and thoroughly
test it before sending out For these
i reasons the serum was not ready for
distribution until Oct 1
The bill provides that the serum be
sold at cost of production The price
will be put at 2 cents per cubic
meter which would make the cost
about 40 cents per hundred pounds of
hog The ordinarily advised for

When cholera is sispected the near

examination made to determine if en

Ernest um and the cost added to the bill
Where the services of a qualified
veterinarian can be obtained he should
be called in to give the serum Where
such a man cannot be had the follow
ing suggestions are offered
Have the hogs in a dry place for at
least twenty four hours before giving
the serum A wet muddy hog is not
easily handled besides there is in
creased risk of carrying in some in
fection on the needle and causing a
local abscess HaAe at hand a bucket
of some distinfectant such as a 5 per
cent solution of one of the coal tar
dips Avash off the inner surface of
each thigh and inject the serum
deeply into the muscles dividing the
dose equally between the two sides
and putting not over tAventy c c in
one place The serum can also be in
jected just under the skin of the abdo
men instead of into the muscles but
is not so readily absorbed and there
is greater liability of an abscess Some
srum will also leak out when the
needle is withdrawn
Leave the hogs in a dry place for
two days after receiving the serum
Do not give a sick hog serum Give
only to those apparently well and
lpave these for a time in the infected
yards A hog must be exposed to
cholera at the time of receiving ser
um or within a few days in order to
acquire a lasting immunity Some of
the hogs that are apparently well may
have had the germs of cholera in the
system for four or five days These
will probably die
The new serum plant Avill not be
ready for use before Jan 1 1912 With
the old plant it will not be possible
to supply all of the requests for serum
for the next feAv months
One of the most important factors
in the handling of live stock farming
is to use a pure bred sire Those
farmers Avho have been successful in
tho Aarious classes of stoclr whether
horses cattle sheep or hogs all say
that the first start toward improve
ment should he by using the best sire
obtainable Records kept in the dairy
herd at the University of Missouri
show that one Jersey bull that was in
the herd for a season was the sire of
several of the cows which afterwan1
became famous nrodnrorc
