The Fftirmunt Sentinel gives the following information regarding the cause of hqg Cholera During the last year there has baetp less cholera and swine plague than formerly simply, it is said by good authcnitile*/ because less corn was fed. This does not mean that carp is the ffcni$ cause of cholera, htft it does meaa that corn is the promoter of the disease, corn especially new com, is an unparelled success. This greatest of all grains is the greatest heat producer grown on the farm and when grown on the farm and when fed in large quanities produce fat at the expense of tissue so that the animal fall an easy victim when the cholera microbe puts in an appearance.

He should remember the danger :in feeding new corn and that three or four bogs roved, will more than pay for the necessary quanity of concentrated feed rich in digestible protein. Besides being a i»oiiutiful crop a large per cent of the corn in Martin county is soft and will be especially conductive to hog cholora Farmers should feed the new crop of corn with great care.
