plants in America, as well as one OF

CHOLERA CAUSING GREAT LOSS
Farmers of Iowa Suffer Heavily
From Rava9es of The Disease.

The farmers of the state of Iowa
are losing thousands of heads of
hogs and it seems impossible to stay
the spread of the disease. Some
claim the disease is not the old time
cholera, for they say the serum
which is regarded as a preventative
as we'll as a cure for the disease
has no appreciate effect. They be-
lieve the disease has been caused
by over feeding new corn.
Springs pigs, sAoats, are said to
have been the worst sufferers and
some farmers have lost their entire
droves, one farmer near Indepen-
dence having lost over a hundred
head in the short time of about
three weeks.
of the state, Woodbury. and Mono
ma counties, have it that the ravages
of the disease or a similar one in
that part of the country is even
worse than in this part of the coun-
try, that nearly every hog in some
neighborhoods have died, even
those that were treated with the
serum having succumbed as readily
as those that were not treated.
The loss in Iowa will amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and is a serious blow to the farmers,
for in the districts that have been
stricken, the corn crop is far from
being up to standard. However, the
farmers are congratulating them
selves that the hogs died before they
consumed the corn crop, which they
will now have for sale or to feed
their other stock.
