Gives a Fine Concert.

Last Thursday evening Miss Inga
0rner, the noted Norwegian soprano,
made her second appearance at Will
mar, and was greeted by a good-sized
audience at the Opera House. Her
appearance here was under the aus
pieces of the Nordm8ndenes sangfor-
ening which organization also appear
ed on the program with several selec-
lions.
Miss 0rner has lost none of her
charm as concert soloist and easily
captivated the audience with her
sweet and lyric voice. At each ap-
pearance on the program she was
made to respond to an encore.
Mrs. o. A. Jacobson acted as her
accompanist and filled the place most
creditably.

The Ladies' Relief Corp of Litch-
field (auxiliary of Frank Daggart
Post) of which number of ladies of

had what is designated their Flag

patriotic devotion in the hearts of the
children. The object of the occasion
was beautiful one and the Ladies'
Relief Corp are to be complimented
for their efforts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moses DeFoe, as host
and hostess of the day, opened their

FIGHT ON HOG
CHOLERA IS on.
County Agent Poe Gives Timely
Advise and Urges
Cooperation.

Will there be as much hog cholera
this season as last? This will depend
upon the manner in which the PEG
pla take hold of the problem. A few
cases of cholera have already been
reported. On one farm, what appears
to be a very virulent outbreak, has
occurred, several hogs dying in one
day without showing previous sick
ness. Several herds that have been
examined show sickness that may lat.
er prove to be cholera.
To check the spread of this disease,
it will be necessary for every one to
make special effort to aid in con.
trolling the disease. The law defin.
itely states that it is any persons
duty, knowing of the existence of an
infectious disease, to report the same
to the board of health which, in the
township, is the town board. It IS
then the duty of the town board 10
quarantine the infected farm. and to
see that proper disposal of the car
casses is made by burning or bury
ing at least 3 feet deep.
Vaccination will give good results if
used before hogs get too sick, or if
the double treatment is used on well
hogs. State serum can be secured
for all infected herds. IN case serum
is wanted for an infected herd, tele-
phone to any high school agricultur-
list, or to the county agent; or phone
directly to the Veterinary Division,
University Farm, st. Paul, MINI.
In case state serum can not be Sc
cured, either for infected herds or
| for double vaccination in we'll herds,
good reliable serum is kept on hand
at Willmar for the use of residents of
the county. This can be secured at
cost of about Lee per c. c., where
as the regular price of commercial
serum is &c.
The cost of vaccinating 100 hun
dred pound hog will be about zoe,
where state serum is used, or 75c to
$1.00 if commercial serum is used.
This cost is for serum alone, the vet
erinarians fee being separate. A
smaller pig will cost more, and a
larger hog less in proportion to
weight.
To prevent worse epidemic of
cholera than occurred last year, it
will be necessary to cooperate in ev-
cry way to fight the disease; to re-
port all cases where hogs are known
to be sick; see that infected farms
are properly quarantined and kept
cleaned up; and finally if every hog
raiser will try to prevent his neigh
boris getting cholera just as he would
his own, the losses from this disease
will be greatly reduced.

ial Agent State Live Stock Sanitary

average man goes through life with
badly warped ideas concerning the rel.
