EDITOR CHIEF - A mistake in proof reading, last
week. makes me say Tell poor farmers of Doniphan
County" &c. This may be construed into reflections
upon the farming capacity Of any one who permits
hog cholera on his place. Nothing Of the kind was
intended, and careful reading of the MS will dis
close that what wrote was this "Tell your farmers
of Doniphan County" &c. The offer is made In the
most serious good faith and If Doniphan is happily
rid Of the disease. shall strike for Iowa. where II Is
known to exist.
The theory that makes hog cholera ferment or
germ disease, is neither Of my invention
but have during the past year. been successful
in destroying putrefactve germs that wish TO test
the correctness of the theory, by applying the germ
agents to its cure. I propose trying tho
work myself because know so many sources OF
ror that those who not chemists would be likely
to fall into in applying it, that publication of tho
treatment. if it failed in some cases and cured In
others, would leave the matter inconciusive.
Yours, truly,
w. JoHSsoy.

rat was somewhat deficient, his skin might be rolled
up into innumerable tails, and do good in that
way. 1t would also start Il supposed enter

half of our wheat and corn, and riddle sacks and
it will not pay to kill them for that but the moment
you give us five cents inch, will turn loose on
them, like Samson on the Phstines, and slay then,
by the thousand. Doniphan is q good County, and
it ought to pay for rats, mice, our cock

else; but go in for five cents an inch. T
