How Hog Cholera is Spread.

In the cooperative work of con-
trolling and graduating hog cholera,
now being carried on by the federal
bureau of animal industry and a
number of the states, an attempt
has been made to determine the
source of infection wherever a herd
was found to be infected with the
disease. =
The reports of these Investigations
we're presented at d recent meeting
of the United States Live Stock San
itary association in Chicago. The
sources of infection were divided
into two great classes, designated
"distant'' and nearby sources.
1t was surprising to learn that in
As per cent of the herds infected the
disease had been spread from "dis-
tant'' sources. The remainder-55
per cent-appeared to have been in
fected from ''near-by" sources. !
In 30 per cent of the cases the in
lection seemed to be due to the visit
ing of neighbors, or the exchange OF
work between neighboring farmers.
1t has long been. thought that this
was a common mode Of carrying in
lection, and the results of the in
vestigations appear to verify it.
Birds appear to he guilty of spread
ing the infection in over one-fourth
of the cases. Sparrows and crows
have been under suspicion for a long
time, and it would appear that the
suspicion has been we'll grounded.

DR.. e. Freeman Walsh Married.

DR.. E. Freeman Walsh and Mrs.
Abbie W. Follett were united in
marriage at the chapel of St. John
the Evangelist Episcopal church in
ST. Paul last Saturday evening, and
left Immediately after the ceremony
for the east and south, and do not
expect to return to St. Paul until
about the first of April.
Their marriage was surprise even
to their closest friends. DR.. Joseph
W. Bettingen and a cousin of the
bride were the only ones other than
the high-contracting parties present
at the wedding ceremony.
The bride is rich, handsome and
accomplished and the DOCTORS junior
by several years. She will make an
excellent life partner for the genial
doctor.
What can we say of good "Father
}Walsh,' all of whose acquaintance
and friends regarded as an jncorrigi-
BILE old bachelor? He is one of the
best known and most highly
esteemed of St. Paul's physicians,
and he has few equals and no supe-
rior in his profession. He has much
to answer for, however. 1t is largely
owing to his skill as physician
that such harum-scarum fellows as

Shepherd of the same city, Bob

mention, are alive and cumber the
earth today.
Seriously, DR.. Walsh numbers his
friends by the hundreds and they all
love him and are rejoiced to know
that he has joined the noble army of
benedicts, and sincerely hope he and
his charming bride may live to see
their grandchildren gambol around.
Here in Princeton DR.. Walsh has
host of friends and all of them unite
in wishing him and his bride every
