The Cause of the High Price of Pork Discussed.

The 14th annual meeting of the Indiana state veterinary association was held at Indianapolis yesterday and Dr. A P. Bolser in an address stated that the high price of hogs is occasioned largely by the ravages of hog cholera within recent years. A very reasonable cause of the high 'price has been advocated here by farmers. They state that the high price of corn within recent years has resulted in many hog raisers almost abandoning the work and hauling their corn to market. This has especially affected the smaller hog breeders, and the accumulation of these has materially'reduced the supply of hogs. The demand has continued normal notwithstanding the high prices and with the demand the price has Increased.
