Cove.-Farmers along the line of the Oklahoma side and on the Arkan- sas side are losing large numbers of hogs by some strange disease, which is fatal and quick as cholera. There is no similarity in the symtoms of the disease. Only range hogs have been affected. As the mast is un- usually heavy, and the corn crop i'm proved with the price of hogs high, this is working severe hardships on the hog raisers.
