HOG-CHOLERA


HOG-CHOLERA is a highly infectious disease of swine. It is characterized by
an inflammation, of the lymphatic glands, kidneys, intestines, lungs and
skin. The inflammation is hemorrhagic in character, the inflamed organs
usually showing deep red spots or blotches.

Hog-cholera is especially prevalent in the corn-raising States which
possess a denser hog population than any other section of the United
States. In this country the loss from hog-cholera in 1913 amounted to more
than $60,000,000, and it may be considered of greater economic importance
than any of the other animal diseases.
