We have no cholera OF any other
serious infections or contagious dis
ease, but We are in danger OF Quaran
tine and the ruin OF the best business
interests OF the county.
There Is no hope of prosperity for
the farmers Of this county except
from the profits Of the stock business,
and hogs are the only stock that Is
attainable for every farmer With
the home market ruined and the out
side market threatened by knocks,
the farmers should respond with
righteous indignation.
rhe worst knock this county ever
had is that display advertisement of
hog cholera.
This Is designed to be a column of
boosts. The word cholera never ap.
peared here until it could be said 90
the authority OF federal inspectors
that the ailment that bad prevailed
in this county to a limited degree
was not cholera.
Will the farmers rally and re.cue
the hog industry from the danger VI

market Is ruined by the panic Great

The only remedy for the cholera is
the use Of cholera virus. The use OF
this only remedy will infect the
whole country. The first year's use
Of virus in Iowa caused loss of S5,-

tion of cholera into this country by
the use OF virus will cause the ruin
OF the hog industry.

wholesale ceBters have brought the
top prices and the valley now has
