Renville County
Has Bad Cholera
Outbreak
SITUATION BECOMING ALARM
ING IN VARIOUS SECTIONS OF
THE STATE; FARMERS URGED
TO BE ON LOOKOUT.

While the immediate section around
Redwood Falls seems to be quite free
from hog cholera, some of the nei-
ghboring counties have large numb
er of cases. The Olivia Times in
commenting on the situation gives
some timely advice.
With twelve new outbreaks of chol-
era in Osceola, Brookfield, Hector and
Martingburg townships within week
the hog cholera situation is becoming
alarming and unless hog raisers are
willing to observe strict quarantine
and sanitary regulations, cholera
epidemic may again sweep over the
county. Hogs in any township where
cholera has broken out should be vac
cinated. 1t is the only safe and sure
insurance. Watch your hogs care
fully. If they fail to come up for
feed, show gunmy of inflamed eyes,
diarrahea, tucked up flanks and a
staggering gait call veterinarian at
once and have them vaccinated by the
double treatment. With hog prices
where they are now you can't afford
to take the risk of cholera cleaning
out your herd. These windy days
spread the cholera very rapidly and
even though you may think you are
several miles away from any known
outbreak the infection may be whole
lot nearer to your hog yards than
you suspect it to be. Every outbreak
always comes as surprise to the
owner because he didn't know chol-
era was so close"
For those who have cholera on
their farms we print the following
