Dr. really expressed the belief that the plague was on the decrease, and: thinks if the people who are interested will do what they are asked to do, the middle of the sum- mer 'will see the last of the plague. He says'"In all suspected cases.1 woulcl advise the farmers to at once report to us. If disease is found on: their farms, which they have not re- ported, they are liable to a fine of $200, and debarred from claiming any indemnity for hogs slaughtered. The disease is very easily dealt with, and it can be stopped on a farm with pro net, precautions: If is not, control= led promptly, it will jeopardize the whole hog raising industry of the pee - insula.
