Berlin farmers are alarmed over the statement of the state board of health that hemmorrhagic septi- caemia, a dreaded hog disease, has made its appearance at the P. 8. Mc- Mghon farm in Kensington. There are more than 500 hogs on Berlin farms, many of which wiil be butch- ered before the spring, but if the state department should make tests on every pig, the stock raisers fear a general quarantine may be ordered by Commissioner Whittlesey. If this c#mes about, the farmers claim they may lose considerable income, as they will be unable to dispose of their pork. It was estimated there is $12,- 000 -worth of pork, on the hoof, .in Berlin today. Several years ago hog cholera ‘broke out in Berlin, but no great loss was- incurred, as stock experts from Storrs rendered timely aid. Hemor- ragic Septicemia is much more to be feared, according to the farmers, who do not know how to combat the disease. The majority of stock rais- ers are for the most part willing to have the tests conducted by the state it is found to be nece: Dr. Radcliffe stated yesterday-that Septicaemia is blood poisoning ac- companied by hemorrhages from the stomach. The disease is much to be feared, according to Dy. Radcliffe and sheuld be given immlediate attention if discovered in.a herd, as it is:ex- tremely contagious. Public Gathering.
