(sections  of  the  country  it  is  hailed  as  a 
blessing,  whereas  in  other  sections  it.  is 
condemned  as  a  curse,  and  blamed  for 
the  spread  of  the  disease.  It  is  a  well- 
known  fact  that  the  serum  treatment  has 
been  responsible  for  the  spread  of  hog 
cholera,  in  instances  when  the  serum  used 
was  not  potent  or  virus  not  virulent, 
and  therefore  dangerous;  and  in  other  in¬ 
stances  where  perhaps  the  best  serum 
and  virus  were  used  improperly  by  in- 
c  o potent  persons.  Contrasted  to  tins. 
seen  sections  where  the  most  bene- 
fieia.  results  have  been  derived  by  the 
(•roper  use  of  good  serum  and  good  virus 
by  competent  persons.  Therefore,  we 
considered  that  it  was  of  primary  and 
utmost  importance  to  control  the  use  of 
serum  and  virus,  and  consequently  its 
use  has  been  restricted  to  the  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Animal  Industry.  It  is  against 
our  regulations  for  any  serum  or  virus 
to  he  shipped  into  the  State,  except  to 
the  Department  of  Animal  Industry. 
Testing  Seium. — Notwithstanding  the 
fact  that  the  U.  S.  Government  makes 
a  test  on  serum  and  virus  before  it  leaves 
the  msinufaeturer’a  hands,  every  shipment 
of  serum  and  virus  after  arriving  in 
Massachusetts  is  tested  by  a  special  test 
to  prove  to  our  satisfaction  that  it  is 
of  the  highest  quality  and  that  the  con¬ 
sumer  is  being  safeguarded.  After  be¬ 
ing  thoroughly  tested,  it  is  properly  kept 
until  it  is  placed  in  the  hands  of  agents 
of  the  Department,  who  are  tnen  specially 
trained  in  this  work,  and  who  are  paid 
by  and  responsible  to  the  commonwealth. 
This,  therefore,  acts  as  the  greatest  pos¬ 
sible  safeguard  to  the  consumer,  and  is 
a  guarantee  against  the  spread  of  the 
disease  through  the  use  of  products 
which  arc  not  what  they  should  be  or  by 
improper  use  of  good  material.  While 
this  method  prevents  some  persons  using 
serum  and  virus  who  are  perfectly  com¬ 
petent  to  do  so,  it  prevents  the  many 
possibilities  of  the  spread  of  the  disease 
by  the  means  before  mentioned.  Since 
the  campaign  to  control  hog  cholera  was 
started,  approximately  35,000  head  of 
swine  have  been  treated,  and  we  know 
that  in  many  large  herds  whore  former¬ 
ly  hundreds  of  animals  were  lost  yearly, 
the  losses  have  been  reduced  to  practical¬ 
ly  nothing,  and  it  is  a  fact  that  the  dis¬ 
ease  is  on  the  decrease,  and  that  the 
number  of  swine  in  this  State  is  increas¬ 
ing  very  rapidly. 
Simultaneous  Treatment. — Realiz¬ 
ing  that  the  simultaneous  treatment, 
when  properly  applied.  Is  an  absolute 
preventive,  and  that  practically  all  swine 
in  this  State  are  exposed  swine,  we  are 
advocating  the  .simultaneous  treatment 
for  all  swine  which  are  healthy. 
This  must  be  considered  in  the  form 
of  insurance,  inasmuch  as  animals  can 
be  immunized  as  a  preventive  at  the 
minimum  cost  with  the  maximum  amount 
of  protection,  and  that  the  cost  of  this 
insurance  for  healthy  animals  is  not  over 
one  cent  per  pound,  which  pays  for  the

Garbage  Peeking. — We  must  remem¬ 
ber  that  our  local  conditions  are  entire¬ 
ly  different  from  those  of  the  West,  and 
more  conducive  to  the  spread  o  Diis  dis¬ 
ease,  The  majority  of  our  s\.  .  are 
garbage  fed.  and  garbage  is  one  if  til  ' 
greatest  means  of  spreading  the  disease, 
both  through  pork  scraps  which  it  may 
contain  and  the  fact  that  in  our  large 
cities  the  swill  is  generally  collected  and 
brought  to  a  central  distributing  point. 
In  some  instances,  as  many  as  two  hun¬ 
dred  farmers  from  the  surrounding  coun¬ 
try  meet  at  this  central  distributing  point 
to  obtain  the  garbage  for  their  swine,

and  you  can  readily  appreciate  the  fact 
that  this  often  tuffs  as  a  central  distribut¬ 
ing  point,  not  only  for  garbage,  but  for 
ling  cholera  as  well.  Until  quite  recently, 
no  serious  effort  had  been  made  to  con¬ 
trol  this  disease,  and  no  preventive  or 
curative  methods  were  known  with  which 
to  combat  it.  Consequently,  it  was  the 
common  custom  when  cholera  was  diag¬ 
nosed  in  a  herd,  to  kill  the  infected  ani¬ 
mals  and  butcher  the  ones  which  were 
apparently  well,  leaving  badly  infected 
premises  from  which  cholera  could  be 
spread,  and  putting  meat  into  circulation 
which  in  turn  caused  more  trouble.
