Reports of hog cholera are beginning

4 sorts Of fake cures for this disease. 1t
: is just It's well to remember that in
/ spite Of all the claims made that this
t plague can be cured there is no discOI~
$ cred cure for It, The prompt disposal
e of all we'll animals. the isolation and

q break occurs The overfeeding with
new corn seems to always invite the
disease. and it is probably true that if

st fact remains that there Is no probabi

of a good demand for every bushel Th
it truth is that so many new and impol

es- corn that it will never be cheap agail

on cents we would feed G. part of til
