MOHR LUMBER COMPANY
PURCHASE SAW MILL
Deal Closed for No. 2 and Veneer Mill
at TOmahawk.

1t has been generally rumored dur
ing the past week that the Mohr Lum-
Der Co., of Wausau has closed deal
with the Bradley Co., for the purchase
OF the old No. mill and the Toma-
hawk Veneer e Box Co.'s mill. Al
though the deal has not been formally
closed the contract has been sent in
for signatures, and there seems to be
nothing to stop the closing of the deal
Immediately.
1t is the object of the Mohr Lumber
Co. to equip the mill complete and
this work is to be started as soon as
possible. The purchase includes all
the land and property north of Somo
avenue and west of the st. Paul track
as far IS the veneer plant. 1t is said
the Mutr Lumber company has from
ten to fifteen years cutting in this
vicinity and it is their object to start
the mill by the first of the year
Tomohawk Leader.
The above means that the Mohr
Lumber company will not rebuild in
Wausau. The company's plant was
destroyed by fire here several months
ago. The company's timber is near
Tomahawk and much money can be
saved by manufacturing there.

sentiment of the country is for an
eight-hour a day law for labor, and
believing in it thoroughly, the presi-
dent was able to have such a law
passed. 1t was backed up by the re-
publicans in congress as we'll as the
democrats and yet Candidate Hughes
is against it. The strike would have
caused all to suffer for want of food
and fuel; the railroad traffic would
have been blocked and it would have
proven disastrous to our country, and
yet Hughes and Roosevelt are trying
to persuade the voters that the law
is not for the good of the country.
Mr.. Lentz closed with a plea to con-
tinue in power the party which had
done so much and so well for the good
of the nation.
Mr.. Lentz is a thorough German
American, and explained in a very sat
factory manner why the republican
party was engaged in this campaign
in stirring up race prejudice.
The speech was a masterful one,
and one which told the political situ-
alton in plain unmistakable language.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lentz remained in the
city until Friday morning when they
left for Sheboygan, Milwaukee and
other cities in the state.

HOG CHOLERA PREVENTION

Locate your hog lots and pastures
away from streams and public high
ways, and do not, allow your hogs
to run on free range or highways nor
to have access to canals or irrigation
bitches.
Do not visit your neighbor's farm
nor allow him to visit you if he has
hog cholera on his premises.
Do not drive into hog lots after
driving on public highways.
Do not use hos lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased stock,
stock procured or borrowed for
breeding purposes, or stock exhibited
at county fairs Immediately with your
herd. Keep such stock quarantined in
separate pens for at least two weeks,
and use care in feeding and attending
stock to prevent carrying infection
from these to other pens.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under feet of earth
all dead animals and the viscera re-
moved from animals at butchering
time, because they attract buzzards,
dogs, etc, which are liable to carry
hog-cholera infection.
If hog cholera appears in the neigh
borhood confine your dog and en-
courage your neighbor to do the same.
Mango, lice, and worms lower the
vitality of hogs, rendering them more
susceptible to disease.
If hog cholera appears in your herd
have all hogs treated Immediately with
antihog-cholera serum, after which
they should be kept on a light diet,
with pure drinking water, and con-
fined to limited quarters that should
be cleaned and sprayed 3 times a
week with II part of compound cresOl
solution to 30 parts of WATER" until
the disease has abated in the herd.
To obtain the best results the serum
must be administered as soon as the
disease is detected in the herd. Be
sure that the temperature is taken.
A temperature above 104e F. in or
binary weather and when the animal
is not excited indicates infection, and
such hogs require an increased dose of
serum.
To rid premises of infection re-
move all manure and mix it thor
oughly with quicklime.
Burn all litter, rubbish, and old hog
troughs.
After the premises are thoroughly
cleaned, spray walls, floors and other
surfaces, il clp Ing remaining hog
troughs, etc., with a disinfectant i
part compound cresOl solution to 80
parts water. Where hog houses are
small, turn them over, exposing in
terror to sunlight Clean premises,
properly exposed to sunlight, will not
retain infection any great length Of
time.
Wallow holes and cesspools should
be filled in, drained, or fenced off.
All runs underneath buildings
should be cleaned and disinfected and
then boarded up to keep hogs out.
Destroy hogs that do not fully re-
cover, as they may be carriers of
cholera infection.
For further information regarding
hog cholera write to the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. C.
