BILLINGS 0N INOCULATION. Ho Oriticises the Method Adopted in the Ottawa Experimenta, HIS REMEDY WILL CURE HOG CHOLERA. Vacelnation as a Preventative for the D w to Use the Virus een ons K od Had Not n Fair Test, Lixcovy, Neb, Jan. 7.—To the Editor of Tur Ber: May I for once trespass on your fndulgence with a communication on inocula. tion as a :preventive of swine plaguo with especial refercnco to the finsco ac Ottawa L In your issue of this ovening (January 6) appeurs the following dispateh : “Onrcaco, 1L, Jan. 6,—The farmers of La Salle, Livingston, Bureau, Kendall and Will countles, it is estimated, have lost between 200,000 and 00,000 hogs by choiera and as a result resolved to try Innoculation as a pre- ventive. I'ifty-five healthy hogs were se- cured from localities where the disease had not appeared, Kighteen weco then innocu- latea with government virus, and eighteen with virus prepared by Prof. Billings of the Nebraska Stato laboratory, and nineteen were left_uniunoculated. Ten of Billings’ hogs aro dead and several of the remaining elght are sick. I*ive of the government hogs are dead and eight are sick, and three of the uninnoculated hogs are dead and a dozen aro sick. Secrotary Rusk, in a privato letter ro- ceived at Ottawa, practically ackuowiodged that he is powerless to either check the ravages or prevent the recurrence of the epidemic known as hog cholera” The above is probably correct enough in all save ouo thing, which is that “cighteen hogs wern inoculated with virus prepared by Prof. Billings of the Nebraska State labora- tory.” The fact is that I aid not and would not havo anything todo with that Ottawa experiment directly, for two reasons; first, on no account would I be foolish enough to put myseif thus directly in the hands of those who have over demonstrated amost bitter opposition to my work; second, that the inoculation was done by a Mr, George C. Cadwell of Utica, Ill,, according to my in- structions, 1 admit, in a certain sense, but in reality very far from them. How this Mr. Cadwell became connected with the af- fair, is quite an interesting story, and one which does uot reflect any great credit upon the Agricultural deparfment at Washington, As your dispatch states, the farmers of La Salle county, 1L, lost very heavily from swine plague this fall and winter. Not knowing what to do- they first applied to Hon. Jero Rusk for assistance, from whom they received the foilowing very discourage- ing, and inconsistant, with eventual actions on the part of that gentieman, reply : SUNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, Oct. 5, 1801.—Mr, Georze C. Cadwell, Utica, 1ll.: Sirs—Your favor to the secre- tacy of agriculture has been referred to me for answer. 1 have to inforw you that there al o funds available for the purpose of which you write. The secretary is very de- sirous of securing an appropriation for further investigation of diseases among swine in the near future. Very respect— fully, Citarres. B. MICHENER, Acting Chief of Bureau."” This Mr. Cadwell was the active man of a commitiee of the ‘‘farmers alliance” of La Salle county, appointed to see what could be done in their extromity. He thon wrote the Tllinois Experiment station nod was abruptly told that ‘‘ihey knew nothing about inocu- lation.” Lastly, he applied to this laboratory and was told “‘thut, while we could not send wines to Illinois, if he would como here, that he would be fully instructed how to make his own.” He came, reccived tho instruc- tions and was presented with all tho neces- sary utensils, Immediately on it becoming public that Mr. Cadwell was coming here a most sudden plethoric condition developed in tne treasury of the Agricultural department at Washington and an agent was sent out to Ottawa, whose chief mission secms to have been to tell the farmers that for which they had raised money and sent Mr. C. here to learn was a fraad and a humbug. Their riches augmented so rapidly that they soon sent about the whole burcau of animal in- , including its chief, on the same m id even went so far as to inaugurate the socalled ‘‘test” to which your dispatcn rofers. Now, L may bo overconceited, but it seoms as if all the energy and money were necessary to expose the Nebraska humbug, that in reality there is something .in it to fear, for in no way did the chief of the bureau of animal industry say that inocula- tion was impossible in bis remarks at_ Ot- tawa, as he has invariably done before, Last September I requested Secretary Rusk, sup- ported by the authorities of ~the tate university, and the State Board to Agriculture and many influential breeders, to send his most trusted and confidential agent, Dr. F. E. Parscns, to this laboratory to learn our methods, and pro- posed to Mr. Rusk that Dr. Parsons should stay here s1x months and that unaer my su- g‘crvhlun the entire business of inoculation in ebraska should be put in Dr. Parsons’ hands, and that ha would than have a chance to see it fully tested on the ground. Person- ally, Ishould have had no moreto do witn it; 1t would have been a mutter between Par- sonsand the farmers for whom he inoculated, as it 1s now between me and them. This Mr. Rusk refused on the &)IE“ that I would only take a person selected by myself. 1 only de- sired 8 compotent observer and an honest and disinterested person, and I know Dr, Parsons to be such. 1 had good reasons for suspecting that aperson selected by the bu- reau would not be that kind of a man, an opinion which is coincided with by every in- telligent breeder in the state. Well, Cuawell went home, and the reason I would not sead virus from here was simply this, I am 1n- ing farmers how to make their own, and am succeeding, and do iv safely, for if inoculation 1s everto become practical it must be by o simple and cheap method, Our directions are as fallows : *‘We will assume that Mr. Charles Walker (who knows all about it), one of the best known farmers in Nebraska, has the vials of soup and the wire in a glass roa on hand and desires to inoculate his own hogs. What does Mr. Walker do? First. He looks around for outbreaks of swine plague and selects the mildest one he can find, and above all things avoids one that 18 killing o large number of hogs in the nerd and doing it anywhere from one to ten days. The greater the number of deaths in a herd and the shorter the period of illness the more unsuitable is an outoreak to obtain virus for inoculation from. Whereas, the smaller the number of auimals ill the slower the course of the discase in such the better is such an outbreak suited to obtain virus from. Secoud. k'rom the last kind of an outbrealk Mr, Walker selects a pig or hog just tuken il, and not one that has been sick some time, and kills 1t by a rap on the head (not by bleeding).” Remember this, the animal to be taken must not have been sick long, for the sooner after it is observed to be ill the virus is taken the more reliuble will it be. Chronic cases are useless aud no dead ones must be used. The above auotation is suficient. You see v explicitly insists on a “mild outbreak.” Inall living things “like produces like healthy, strong parents produce like oh dren 1f the fawily prepotency is strong in that direction on both sides, Soit is of germs. Virulent germs produces u malignaut type of disease and wild ones & mild type. - Mr, Cadwell know this, as he was not only fully instructed on tbat point, but also haa our printed iustructions in full, of which the above is but a partial quotation, In this case the man has had very little chance. He writes that he told the committee of farmers having the experiment in band, that he could not find & mild enough outbreak in bis locality, such as he had been instructed to use, but that they insisted that “he should go whead.” And “'ahead" bo went, The result is statad. Now in *'going ahead contrary to his positive in- structions, and our invariable course here, Lnu may be surprised to learn that Mr, Jadwell followed to the letter advice given by the chief of the bureau of animal in- dustry, who said in 1888: “We soon found that there was no indicatior for attenuating the virus, booause the strongest virus might be introduced bypodermically with iwpunit {n considerable doses, because the strong » viras is the higher the degree of immunity 1t produces. You can see that there is every reason for using the fresh unatienusted oulture: or. Cadwell usea quite small doses according to the standurd set by the | bureau. We know better than that in Nebraska, and found it out wi back in 1886. So you can see that men this Tilinois farmer has been able to teach the chief of the buresu of animal industry somothing he had no knowledge of previously, viz, (hut Lhe strongest virus cannot be used with impunity. The government has also learned something else at Ottawa, and that is that all artificially attenuated virus will not protect at ail, for their own hogs are dying. While I greatly regret that so many of Mr. Cadwell's hops have succumbed, and still hope some half dozen may recover, as they will surely stand severs exposure after- wards and thus show inoculation to be possible, Still this nervy experience has also taught the chief of the bureau another thing; for in his last report to the secrotary of agriculture he says: “fho method of subcutaneous injec- tions of culture liquids containing Mog cholera bacilli, while on the one hand fraught with possible (not probable) danger of scattering disense germs whore they do not originally exist, is nevertheloss the simplest and cheapest mothod that can be de- vised for the vaccination of animals; theso qualities of simplicity and choapnoss are of vital importance in @ quostion which has only n commercial aspect.” Thus you can see how much the govern ment bus leacned through this Ottawa exper- iment : tirsr. That the strongest virus cannot le, and with fmpunity. Second, That such a virus is fraught with a very possible danger of extending the dis- ens { Third, That artificiolly mitigated virus cannot be retied upon at ail, Now a few words on the other side of the story: I have inoculated some 50,000 hogs, and never in a single instance, that I know of, has such an accident occurred through inoculated hogs as at Ottaw nd there have teen very few cases in which inoculation has not protécted, True, I fuiled completely in protecting hogs that were fed on glucose re- fuse, but that was due to the glucose und not the ivoculation. Hogs fed on distiliery slops can be protected by fioculation, Kvery one who is acquainted with the true facts knows that those herds reported as killed at Sur- prise, Neb,, in 1888, were all diseased at the time were inoculated. This 3 over 3,000 hogs have been inoculated in Novrasicu, and today I sent out virus for 1,400 more, but with some regrets, us I fear its injury ‘and the possibility of its heine frozen. Of the 3,000 I do not know of one bemng injured by inoculation, though oue such case in sucking pigs is reported, and one failure in tho samo herd: the pigs I doubt, as five other lots of pigs were inocu- lated at the same time with the same virus ana they all diec the failure I know the ause of, and have learned to avoid it in the future, ' In Kebruary every wan will be written to and a full report ~published, and their lotters open to your correspondent and the public. I know now that many of tho inoculated heras been exposed and stood tests to the eminent satisfation of their In no case bave any hows been ed some on already infected farms. As to inoculation causing the discase when suttable virus is selected, we bave the un- deniable fact that all the farms where 1nocu- lation has been steadily carried on in Ne- braska for at least three' years aro now free fron: discase, while in othor cases several large feeders who only inoculated last year ave just now losing their hogs and regret they did not inoculate lust fall, as for years previously they had failed to market ® car load of nogs. Nothing buman is perfect, but ono thing is as sure as death and taxes and that is, that in time inoculation will be made a practical success in Nebraska and save millious of dollars to the farmers of tho stute, and it will not be a means of spread:ng the disease nor of killiug hogseither.

Plan of the Omaha Oity Mission to Aid De- serving Needy. SPLITTING KINDLING FOR A MEAL Ihese the Who Ifave Been Alded by Friends of Charity — Dolngs of Week In Omaha’s Church Clreles, It was the rip of the buck saw and the ring of the axe that attracted the attention of a reporter of Tir Ber as he passed the Omaha City Mission on Tenth street near Capitol uvenue the other afternoon. In aspacious wood shed at the rear of the mission a dozen men were earning a night's lodging and threo meals. Rev. A. W. Clark was not in the office at the time, having gouo out to look after the relief of a destitute family, but Mr, B. Merrill, his assistant, explained the plan of the wood yard, “We give the: unfortunate men who cull nhere a night's lodging and three good meals for four hours’ work in the wood yara. 'The men can work in the shed thers out of the cold wind and the work is not very heavy. Most of the wood we handleis sold for kindling. We mix the hard wood and tho pine and spilt itup very fina makiug the very best of kindling, +We sellit at #3 4 load and wo have more orders than we can fill.” In the shed there wore half a dozen cords of wood sawed and split up ready for sale and half a_dozen poor, unfortuuate fellows were busily engaged in sawing up a great quantity of wixed” wood that lay in the yard, **I'he woman who lives in this house right here,” continued Mr. Merrill, “furnishes the meals and lodging for theso men and the mission board nays her, These men are of nearly ali nationalities and of all trades and habits of life. ‘Ilie ruie is to keep them here turee days if they wish to stay und then send them away. If at theend of three days more they fail to find work tney aro at liberty to ~come hack and work here in the wood yard for threo days more. This particular feature of the mission ap- pears to be accomplishing a great work of rolief for unfortunate men who are tempor- arily without means of support. The calis for assistance that como to the misdion ure far beyond the means of supply ing the needs of thosein destitute circum- stances, but a great many families are being relicved. Last Wednesday a poor German family, consisting of husband and wife and four children, arrived at the UNion depet with not a cent to buy ameal or a night's lodging and no friend to whom they could go. ‘I'he man went out through the city to look for work, leaving his wife and children in the depot'all day without a bite to eat. In the evening a stranger who happened to be at the depot bad compassion upon the poor people and took them to Mrs. Keliey’s hotel, and paid their board for a couple of duys. “The busband finally applied at the mission und was assisted in getting work. He ap- pears to be an honest, industrious man, and his wife and little ones arc neat, clean’ and thoroughly respectable in appearance. He vefused to take money from the charit: association as a gift, but insisted upon g ing his note fora small amount that the association ioaned him, That is tbe kind of peonle we like to assist,’” sald Rev. Clark. *‘Peopbie who are willing and anxious to help themselves are always worthy of help from others,” Citizens of Omaha who need kindling wood can assist the wood yard enterprise by sending in their orders for kindling to the mission.
