CROWS SPREAD DISEASE.

GAINESVILLE. Wis. Feb s.. Farmers at
their county meeting here this week
decided that the crow is much to blame
for the spread of hog cholera in this
section Of the state BY feeding on the
dead bodies of unburied cholera dis
leased hogs and then flying with pieces
Of the hesh III their mouths to adjoin-
ing fields, where they drop the diseased
flesh, when healthy pigs pick il up.
Farmers claim that in this way the
crow has wrought havoc in southern
Wisconsin to the extent of thousands
of dollars in the past two years. Now
the county board, at its session here
this week, has offered bounty of 10
cents each for every crow that is killed.
The result is now that there has been a
brisk demand for the latest shot guns
in the market and the slaughter Isl now
on in earnest.
