FINE P0RKERS ARE
DYING OF CHOLERA
Epidemic Prevalent for Miles
Around Cheswold-Pork
Will be Scarce

Cheswold. October 2O-Hog cholera is
making ravages I'm this vicinity. Some
farmers have lost about an of their
prospective pork in the districts named.
Among those who have lost an or a
large portion of their hog stock are
Mrs. Mary A. Bentley. James Denney,
William Harrington, G.. w. David,
James Lanerty, Theodore Carrow, John
p. Garrison and others.
1t seems to have had its start at the
farm of Mrs. Bentley through the inci-
dent of the death of a pig last year.
She and her sons then took the precau-
tion TO bury the pig sufficiently deep as
they thought. but afterward discovered
that dogs had dug it up and scattered
parts of II about the farm. Whether
the epidemic had its start from this in
cident or not, Mrs. Bentley and sons
regret very much now that they did not
take the wiser course and burn H. The
loss to the individual farmer viii be
keenly felt. while the aggregate loss
viii reach a considerable sum. In like
manner last autumn a farming district
southwest OF Cheswold reaching far
west Of Dover, was almost divested of
killing pork by this epidemic. couse-
quently pork is expected TO be very
scarce in this vicln..v ---s fan and
winter.
