While the simultaneous method of treatment affords a 

 means of checking and eliminating hog cholera, in districts 

 or sections of the country where it has become prevelant, 

 every precaution should be taken to prevent its being car- 

 ried into other sections or states not so infected. 



A law should be passed making it a misdemeanor to sell 

 a bunch of sick hogs. A law should be passed requiring 

 the railroad companies to disinfect each stock car after it 

 has taken a load of hogs to market, and every public stock 

 yard should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at stated 

 intervals. Further, a law is needed, and should be enacted 

 by the federal government, requiring a certificate of health 

 for a hog before he can be shipped from one state to an- 

 other. 



These are precautionary measures which are needed and 

 which can and will do much towards preventing the spread 

 ing of the disease.
