No Hog Cholera on Bench.
The report that was published last
week regarding hog cholera on the
Fruitland bench seems to have been
erroneous as State Veterinarian R.
B. Hurd states that in no case has
he discovered any Indications what

mails. This is certainly good news
and up to date there has only been
one herd OF hogs in this secticgI in
fected with the disease and strict
measures have been taken to prevent
its spreading.
