Excerpt from Swine Diseases

The experience of the writer in teaching, and in the manufacture and distribution of anti-hog cholera serum, no less than in practice, has forcibly impressed upon him the need of the veterinary profession for more general knowledge of the diseases of swine.

They are not few who maintain that veterinary practice in the future will be concerned largely with the food-producing animals. The automobile has already supplanted most of the fancy driving horses; the auto-truck does much that would otherwise be accomplished by horses; and predictions are rife that the gasolene tractor will soon be made practicable for work on small farms. All things considered it seems probable that the equine population of the country is destined to increase but slowly if at all. The keeping of pet animals, including dogs and cats, is being looked upon more and more as an insanitary practice, while the farm dog and the roaming cur are becoming more and more the object of antagonistic legislation.
