The swine exhibit this year was a marked improvement over last year's 

 show, both in quality and in the number of swine on exhibition. The 

 show was made by 159 exhibitors, who entered 2,491 head of swine, as 

 compared with 117 exhibitors and 1,590 head entered in 1913. Competent 

 judges pronounced it the best show, from the standpoint of quality, that 

 they had seen at the Iowa State Fair for a number of years. The rule of 

 the Animal Health Commission, which provides for the immunizing of 

 all swine before being placed on exhibition at state or county and district 

 fairs, met with less opposition than a year ago. However, it is still evi- 

 dent that the rule keeps away a number of exhibitors who have not 

 been convinced that the serum treatment is a safe treatment and pre- 

 ventive for hog cholera.
