Globe Democrat: -"The American hog Is
vindicated. Real, native. uncontaminated
German hogs have caused an epidemic OF
%trichinosis In Ermsleben, Prussian Saxony,
where four persons have died Of the disease
and $50 are suffering Its excrutiating panGs.
We Americans told you,s Prince Bismarck!
For every case of -trichinosis in the United
States there have been several cases in Ger
many. Trichine in pork are always killed
when the meat is thoroughly cooked. II men
will persist in eating raw pork, it really
serves them right to swallow parasites"
We find the following paragraph going the
rounds of the state: press:-"Boone county,
No., can still sustain her reputation as breed
ing the best cattle of any county in the state.
Mr.. W. h. Thompson sold last week, to Mr..
P. J. Mckinney SO heifer calves. so Of them
blood red, which Judging fromindividual merit
no man could tell them from pure bred short
horns. While Mr.. Thompson Is q breeder Of
polled Angus and Galloways he is an excel
lent judge of this kind of cattle, and has q
car load of high grade shert-horn bulls on
hand low. Any western man wanting such
would make it to his interest to correspond
with him." We only print this for the sake
Of modifying the initial statement that''Boone
county can still sustain her reputation as
breeding the b,st cattle Of any county In the
state" Among the best, probably, but moi
the best. When did it ever make such 3 sale
