AB - THE USE OF VIRULENT SALT SOLUTION AS A VIRUS IN MANUFACTURING HOG CHOLERA SERUM.* W. S. ROBBIKS. (From the Michigan Agricultural College, Experiment Station, East Lansing, Michigan.) Soon after the demonstration at Ames, Iowa, iI1 1908, to show methods of manufacture and value of Dorset-Niles serum toward controlling hog cholera, many of the agricultural experiment stations became interested and have since put forth vigorous efforts toward controlling this disease with hog cholera serum. Although carrying many unsolved problems, hyperimmune serum has been efficient in preventing cholera and no doubt has been of great aid in controlling this disease. The control of cholera in any section depends to a great extent upon the expense involved, and, in case the serum is to be used, its price must necessarily be considered. Therefore, considering the cost of producing serum, there seems to be a demand for research which will result in a reduc­ tion of the expense. In manufacturing serum by the regular Dorset-Niles methods, the cholera pig is sacrificed merely for its blood, and this virus blood, unless injected by the intravenous method, is sufficient only to hyperimmunize one pig of weight equal to that of the virus pig. Thus, we
