The druggists of Rock county meet
at Beloit Thursday, June Goth, taking
dinner at the Hilton Hotel. The proba-
bility is that every druggist in the
county will be present, as the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court regarding
druggists has aroused good deal of in
terest among the proprietors of drug
stores all over the United States.
The extreme heat of several days
early in the week eliminated in severe
electrical storms that passed over this
locality Tuesday and Wednesday, that
wrought considerable damage in the
country districts. The southern part of
the county hail fell in large quantities,
injuring the crops. A cloud burst be-
tween here and Stoughton washed out
many tobacco beds. A barn on the
Chas Hammond farm at Hanerville
was struck by lightning. At Albion
Prairie the storm was also severe.
The recent order of the post Office
department requiring every farmer to
number his mail box, reminds US of the
suggestion which has frequently been
made, and the suggestion is good one,
for every farmer to place his name and
the name of his farm on his road gate.
Not only would persons driving to a
place more easily find it, but it would
add more pleasure and interest to people
driving from place to place. This last
result would have special effect with re-
gard to we'll kept and pretty houses. An
observing person will seldom pass a
beautiful farm without desiring to know
who is its enterprising owner.
As the result of the bite of mad
dog or incubation in some manner, one
horse, three pigs and fourteen cows died
on the farm of Mrs. Joseph Wheeler,
near Arlington, recently. The farm is
just across the Dane county boundary
line on the north, A man named Dun
derman is working the place. For some
time it was not known that the animals
were suffering from rabies until veter-
marian from Lodi was called. The first
animal died about a month ago, and
since then there have been several dying
each week. 1t is said that the state vet
erinarian has been called to attend to
the quarantining of the place to prevent
the spread of the disease. Just how
many of the other animals on the place
are affected is not known
