Some time ago the recelvors of the company brought ac tion to recover about this sum from real -slate owned by .Mr. QniiillgltOll in Laurens county.

Alkeil has received the following lottcr which explains itself: Clomson College, s. C, May ::. 1000. Dear SlriTllO South Carolina Bx perimeul station wishes to call your .itt*:ntloil to ihr- fact that in experi menting with the method of Immun izing hogs against hog cholera ac cording i<> the lines laid down by the Hltrontl of Anima! Industry at Washington, it has been foultd that Cue method will prevent bog cholera in ti.e majority of cases ami if ap : Ii u etlliy in an outbreak will pro tect a large percentage of the herd. We t'.iink thai this fact should be brought to the notice of every man owning hogs in any large numbers, and knowing that you are Interested in BUCh matters Wd ate taking the liberty of writing j'ou on this .sub let and asking thai yon disseminate this knowledge as opportunity af fords. We have on band a quantity of the scrum ready for immediate use and If there is any demand for it from the farmers of the state, the station will continue to develop it. While we expect in the near future to be able to put out the serum in a form that the farmer may be able to bundle /or himself, it Is advisable for the present that it be applied, where pos sible, by a veterinarian, and in ail cases a correct diagnosis should be made at' ttO: disease as tin: serum has no curatlvewalue for any disease ex cept bog cholera. The expense con nected with the treatment will be slight to the owners, certainly not more than actual cost of production ami we fool that the time has come when it is no longer necessary for hog cholera to be attended with such disastrous results as heretofore have prohibited such a profitable industry In many sections of this state. If you know of any section where hog cholera provalla to any extent ami whore our serum would he appre ciated, we would he glad if you would add rest: the s. C. Experiment station and to get the full benefit of the treat ment we should bo notified as early as possible. Very truly yours.. 10. Ltnrnett, Veterinarian & Animal Husbandman. NOTICE Ol ELECTION*.
