A Remedy for Hog Cholera.

Dr. Bitting, of the Purdue experiment station, has been notified that he will reoeive a consignment of serum for treating hog cholera some time this week. This is the new government remedy, whioh is proving successful, and it is the first lot to be tried in this state. The disease prevails in almost every county, and is causing immense losses. From the reports received it is estimated that fully 750,000 hogs, valued at $4,000,000 will be lost this fall. Everything on the market has been tried without success, and the results of the experiment with the new serum will be watched with interest.
