B. Halicamp, had his separator
burned while it was in the field about
two miles west of St. Killian Saturday
night. The machine was all right at
one o'clock Sunday morning when it
WAS left and later was discovered bur
ned to the ground. The fire was
without doubt set by some one for
amalicious purposes. Mr.. Hailkamp
went to Minneapolis at once for a
new machine and will soon be ready
for threshing again.
Rev. G. w. Merrill, who was unan-
imously called to the passionate of the
Congregational church, has accepted
the call and will begin his labors
October Bird. 1t is proposed to make
the occasion "rally day" fo- the
church, Y. P. S. G. E. and Sunday
school, Let everyone who is inter-
ested in our church work cooperate
in extending the notice so that our
pastor may be greeted with hearty
welcome as he enters upon the work.
A farmer living north of Brewster
had seven harnesses cut to pieces a
week ago Saturday night. The same
night the wheels were taken off his
pillow and carried seven miles apart
in opposite directions, and the pillow
was considerably damaged. It was
thought to be the work of parties
who became enraged at the farmer
because he would not give them work.
Such miscreants should be overtaken
and suffer the severest punishment
the law would permit.
H. James, of Elk. reports losing 80
out of a herd of 36 hogs, and thinks
that he would have lost them all but
for his way OF disposing of them. As
soon as they showed symptoms of
sickness he knocked them in the
head and buried them, and finally
made another pen, burning the old
one. DR.. Gould says this benef-
cial way and assists in checking the
disease. He also says that they
should be buried deep and that lime
should be- thrown over them.
We are informed by j. F. Green
that dogs convey hog cholera from
infected pens to those that are not by
lying down in the former and after
wards in the latter. This looks very
reasonable, and it would be wise if
farmers who have dogs would keep
them tied up whether they have
cholera about or not and 70: others to
keep the dogs away from their farm
so far as possible. Care cannot be
too carefully exercised in this plague.
It is matter Of finance to every far
mer.
