More Cattle Herds Infected.

Three new cases of foot and mouth
disease have developed on Rock Prai-
RE during the week. Federal inspect
ors are now busy on the farms of F.
H. Arnold, w. B. Austin and j. E..
Mansur, where they are preparing to
exterminate all cattle, sheep and hogs
after the usual method employed in the
other instances where infection has
been found among cattle.
All the three farms are loo ated near
the Parr farm and the George Austin
place, where the process of extermina-
ton was completed a short time ago.
1t is thought probable that the prox-
unity of the farms where the latest
cases have been found to the farms
where the original infection was dis
covered, is responsible for the spread
as none of the stock on the Austin,
Mansur or Arnold places was shipped
from Chicago.
Also two new infected herds were
discovered on farms adjoining the Egg
ner farm near Oregon. Such cases
show the necessity of the strictest
quarantine to be observed if the disease
is to be stamped out.

Train Load of Cattle Infected.

The one hundred and one head of
high grade and thoroughbred Holstein
cattle, just recently purchased by
Henry Royce, have been pronounced at
Spokane by inspectors of the federal
bureau of animal husbandry to be suf-
fering from the hoof and mouth dis
ease. They have been placed under
quarantine, but have not been ordered
killed and the carcasses burned as some
papers have reported.
The cattle were purchased by Mr..
Royce from the Edgewater Stock Farm
and from the Lake Mills Holstein sale.
The herd occupied three carloads, two
of which were shipped from the Fort
Atkinson stock yards and one from the
Lake Mills yards. The shipment was
valued at from 500, 900 to $50, 1000

The shooting of two wolves and the
finding of several mutilatdd carcasses
of sheep and calves prove that there is
pack of timber wolves ranging Rock
county and making occasional raids on
stock.
Tom Pappas, Greek laborer, applied
for 500 bounty at the office of the
county clerk last Saturday, making
proof with the remains of young wolf
that he had killed in a small grove
west of the GAINESVILLE cemetery only
two miles from the city. The animal
was about year and half ole, fact
that is said to indicate that the wolves
have been in this neighborhood for
about two years, .as it is only in ex-
tremely cold winters that wolves have
been known to come so far south, at
least since civilization took possession
of southern Wisconsin. 1t is believed
that wolves came south during the ex-
IRENE winter of 1911-1912, and that a
number of them remained and reared
young.
A few days ago H. E. Brosier, James
vile, shot mature wolf while hunting
in the town of Center. There was
snow on the ground and he made out
the tracks of pack of seven animals.
Three foxes have been killed this sea-
son in Rock county.

that the battleelip 'BulwaIk" was blown
up this morning. "The loss Of the shin" he
said, "does not affect our military position

are greatly alarmed by The possibility Of a
German submarine having penetrated into

stock and provisions useful to an invading
army the destruction Of grain and other
commodities not removable; the blocking
Of roads and the destruction of bridges.
Riff clubs are being organized aud the

IN each OF which there Is a committee of
two hundred prominent men who will CO.
operate with the police. Similar COMMITTEES
have been formed at Deal, Sandwich, Folke-

usually acting as Chpitmen. Bicyclists and
