MEMBER OF THE FLYING SQUADRON
RAPED N|MBLE DODGERS OF TAXES
Attempt To ThroDn
Blame Is Failure
No Feeder Hogs Have Been Sold
Out Of Mankato, Is
Statement.

Fairmont Sentinel: Hog cholera
has broken out on p farms near
Madelia within the last TWO weeks
according to word received by Coun :
ty Agent Johnson. 1t is believed
that the disease was spdead as a
result OF feeder hogs being shipped
in from Mankato.
at is a violation of the state Law
to ship any hogs in, unless it is for
immediate slaughter, when they
come from public stock yard,
said Mr.. Johnson. "All public stock
yards are considered cholera in
fected.
"Dr. c. f. Cotton of the live =
stock sanitary board. University
farm, says that the two greatest
carriers Of the disease are dogs and
crows. If Martin county men will
kill crows and stray dogs, they will
do much to prevent the spread OF
cholera"
An official of the Cudahy Packing
company here stated this morning
that the statement bringing the
blame back to Mankato is an error
for the reason that feeder hogs are
not sold out of this city and have
not been for seven years at least.
All hogs sold by the Cudahy com
pany are sold to purchasers for i'm
mediate slaughter and are not for
feeding purposes.
County agent l.. E. Mcmillan stat
ed today that he did not know that
the hogs came from Mankato al
though he had heard OF the cholera
outbreak near Madelia. He stated
that under the law all stock yards
were considered infected territory
and that hogs were required to spend
a twenty one day quarantine after
receiving the double incubation
against the dreaded disease but that
under the Law shipment could be
made by the inoculating yard i'm
mediately after providing the re-
ceiving yard keep the hogs in quar-
antine at the other end Of the line.
Mr.. Mcmillan stated that there has
been much misunderstanding of this
provision all over the state with
the result that some cholera had
been spread in that way.

MINNESOTA DEER KILLED
More Than Twenty Thousand Bag
sed In North Woods Last Fall

St. Paul, Mimi, April 14.-Hunt-
ers killed more than 10000 deer in
Minnesota last fall, according to
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
warden. In the last three years ap-
proximately $4,000 deer have been
killed in this state.
I'm spite of the decreased number
of refugees and other protective
measures the deer herd is decreas
ing rapidly" Avery said. Refugees
serve to prevent determination but
continuation of the present policy
will undoubtedly reduce the supply
in all country open to hunting
The enactment of a buck law might
help great deal in preventing ex-
termination Of M1nnesota's deer
herd. he intimated.
