Local Farmers Are Warned to Buy Their Hogs at Home As Safeguard A serious. outbreak of hog cholera that has necessitated the slaughter- ing or vaccination of all hogs within an area five to ten miles across, north of Mitchell, was reported on Tuesday by Dr. J. Ilovaird, Federal veterinary inspector in London. • Referring to this outbreak, Dr. F. Harburn, Seaforth veterinary, urges local farmers not to buy hogs from sources outside of their own locality, "I have been telling the farmers not to buy hogs from a distance, as a safeguard against hog cholera," Dr, Harburn said. "This precaution should • be rigidly observed." The Mitchell outbreak has been traced back to the early part of Oc- tober when a trucker brought a large. load of sows, suckers and weanlings from the Dresden to Mitchell dis- trict. They were sold and distributed on eight different farms, It has been necessary already to slaughter all the hogs on seven or eight places as o•result of hog cholera and is a ser- ious blow to the hog industry of that dietrice, The cholera has so far been con- fined to the eight farms but the in- spectors are alert to the possibility it mass spread. Slaughtered hogs have been buried in lime and hog Pens and yards have been cleaned and disinfected. Hogs 'that wore within. a half -utile to throe-quartere of a mile radius of an infected pen 111(00 been given preventive treat- ment, Thr Federal inspector warns far- mers against buying hogs from truckers aheu their origin- is not known definitely. Quite often, he said, the hogs are brought in from a 1ldn5 distance and the buyers arc told he ]togs were brought from 'some local place, Any who buy hogs in , this way are playing with fire.

Three masked men, two of them with guns, held up Gerald Agar, 24. about 6.45 o'clock Monday morning when he arrived at the creamery for work. Agar told the men there was no -money in the creamery and the thugs then gagged and bound him and raced away in a car believed to have been stolen. The three hold-up men had forced entrance into the building and were waiting for Agar when he arrived. As be entered the door one man shoved a gun into his chest and an- other poked a gun into his back while a third member of the trio de- manded to know where the money was kept. When he told the thieves that there was no money in the building, he was bound and gagged and the three raced away at high speed just as Lorne McKellar, Staffa trucker, having arrived and heard the conversation, gave the alarm which brought Haney Leslie, mana- ger of the creamery to the scene. The bandit car went north of Staffa and then turned east. Search was made by county and provincial police for the men but no trace was ' f ound. Office records had been scattered around in the creamery as the men had apparently searched thoroughly for money without success. Gas robberies at St. Marys and also at Dublin are thought to be link - Ied with the Staffa hold-up, as these occurred on Sunday night.
