one. However, should IL remain dry
during November, and not much snow
fall. the deer will be hard to get, and
the result viii be that next year there
Will be more h a eve wandering

college at Brookings. you remember
the old truism," he continued, that a
drowning mar grasps at a straw. The
hog owner becomes the drowning man
just as soon as cholera makes its ap-
pearance in his n~eighborhood. The
straw he grasps at in a most frantic
is any soscalled cholera cure.
but the farmer is not to blame for
ne is not fully aware that hog cholera
Is incurable and is so regarded by the
highest veterinary authorities in all
countries. He thinks that perhaps
some untried drug or chemical may
stay his losses. When an advertise
ment or an agent guaranteeing a cure
for cholera gains the farmers atten-
ton the latter frequently grasps at
what he considers his opportunity to
save his hogs"
