of th© diseaso, the acute
and chronic. In the acute
form, very few symptons are
noticed. The pige becomo
sick and die very suddenly.
In the chronic or slower
form, the pigs will show a
marked lack of appetite, a
preference to remain in
their beds or nests, and an !
arching of tho back, weak- j
ness, or a wabbling gait
whon they nr© driven. There ■
will be a marked elevation
of temperature and constipa
tion. A profuso diarrhea
usually follows. If there
is a complication of the
rospiratory organs, a mark
ed coughing, followed by
difficult breathing and symp
tons of pneumonia, will be
noticed. There is usually
n discoloration of the skin
of the oars, belly, and
flanks.

at the first sign of those
symptons, all disoasod pigs
should be isolated from tho
healthy ones, and a compe
tent veterinarian consulted.
With these 9ynpt?ns and the
results of a postmortem ex
amination, he will verify or
deny the 07/ner's suspicions.
Then the scrum and virus
treatment should he given to
the entire herd. The treat
ment to bo given will depond
on the symptons shown by
each individual pig. The ad
ministration of hog cholera
serum and virus is a preven
tive treatment rather than a
curative one. However, in
some herds where the disease
has been recognized oarly in
its course, it has been
promptly checked by tho uso
of the serum alone. In other
cases, duo to tho fact that
tho pigs are already in the
incubative stage of the dis
ease, the serum could not
be given in sufficiently
largo dosage to chock the
disease. Following the
treatment,tho pigs should be
confined in clean,sanitary
pens, and fed very sparingly,
Avoid coarse, irritating, or
bulky feed. Thoy may be
fed skinned milk and water
for four or five days. Then
