among them was Walter Moynihan of
this city. Walter shot an 1888 for

the championship flight he was in the

Only three players outside the

likely to flare up, farmers are advised
by DIR. H. C. H. Kernkamp Of the
division of veterinary medicine, Uni
versity of Minnesota, Department of
Agriculture, to be on the lookout for
sick pigs.
One of the most important things
in the control of hog cholera, says
DR.. Kernkamp, is the early recogni-
ton of the disease. The farmer who
has sick hogs, therefore, should i'm
mediately call in a veterinarian in
order that a correct diagnosis may be
made promptly.
