lures and feeding for cattle is going to
be pretty good for some time. The
corn shrunk somewhat during the in
tensely hot weather in August, but in

| crop. The silos are either filled or in
the process of being filled. Late alfalfa
looks good in some places.

Hog cholera has been reported in
Grant, Rock, Green, Milwaukee, Fond
du Lac, La Crosse, Polk and ST. Croix

all farmers. Vaccination against the
disease is earnestly recommended as
the only safe insurance against the
pest.

ties with tuberculin tested cattle, four
in which work is progressing, two 9TH
ers that have petitioned the Depart
ment of Agriculture for county wide
| tests, and a dozen or more which are
securing signers for such tests.
