a distance of thirty-siX feet and were
buried beneath a mass of wreckage.
All received serious injuries and one
| may die.

Henry Ballinger, an oldtime resi-

which he was working gave way and
he fell to the earth below. He sur

SERUM QUACKS ARE
WORKING COUNTRY
PREY ON MINNESOTA FARMERS
WHO FEAR HOG CHOLERA
PEST.
DOESN'T PROVE EFFICACIOUS
Worthless Remedies Are Administered
and Swindle Just the Same
Rural People Are
Warned.

Appleton.-Hog cholera has brought
out several quacks who are preying on
the farmers. Reports from Swift and
Renville counties tell of men who are
going about offering to vaccinate hogs.
Their so-called Serums, are worthless.
The farmers who pay for it find stat
their hogs die just as if they had
never been treated.
Farmers Are Warned.
One SUCH man operating in Rem
vile county claimed to administer an
antioxine that would make hogs i'm
mune or cure hogs that had already
been attacked by the disease. The
stuff he administered was not serum
at ALL w. E. Morris, the county agent
of Renyille county, heard of the
ers, and the man took flight.
In Swift county, Alfred Carlsted,
county agent, says that one man took
from the farmers of the county not
less than $500 with connections just
as worthless. There is no protection
save their own common sense. Only
licensed veterinarians are allowed to
use the serum developed at the state
experimental station, but the CONNER
cial sermus may be administered by
anyone SO that if man comes along
protesting to have a serum the farmer
must be his own judge. The best
way for farmers would be to appeal
to their county agents or to licensed
veterinarians. If they cannot reach
such men they should appeal to the az
ricultural teachers of consolidated
high schools or of agricultural high
schools or to some graduate who will
be Informed on the subject.
Future Legislation Planned.
There is talk of legislative measures
to protect the farmers in the future,
but that Will do no good now.
Renville county has a good corn
crop and has suffered losses by the
cholera. So the farmers there, as in
Lac Qui Pale county, are planning
to ship in cattle and feed them for
profit. The plan of using silage as a
starter for such fattening is also be-
ing considered, though this has made
