that we must have a quarantine system in order to deal satisfac¬ 
torily with the disease. 
It certainly is easier to stamp out the disease in one herd 
than to treat all the hogs of a township with serum or by any 
other method. 
In some townships the disease began in early spring in a 
single herd ; then spread over almost all the township by ex¬ 
tending along the highway from farm to farm. 
In early spring there were probably not more than six or 
eight such farms in the county. Why may we not suppose that 
if these had been rigidly quarantined and the herds destroyed 
the loss would have been very light. Like other things there 
is often a time when it may be u nipped in the bud.” 
Without systematic efforts in other directions the serum 
treatment, no matter how successful, will not serve to control the 
disease. As swine raisers we must do our part in carrying out 
sanitary rules and regulations, and we ought to insist that the 
State assist us by looking after those who persist in undoing all 
the good work we may do by letting their herds run at large, 
and in other ways encouraging the spread of the disease. 
Trusting that a serum of sufficient anti-toxic power will yet 
be produced which will very much aid in the suppression of the 
disease, I leave the question with you for discussion. 
A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. .

We have heard much the last few years of Campaigns of Ed¬ 
ucation. The great political battle of 1896 was called a cam¬ 
paign of education, because almost every man, woman and child 
in this great country was studying the money question, and the 
most learned men on both sides of the question were employed 
to prepare circulars, leaflets, newspaper and magazine articles, 
which were scattered abroad by the million.
