Farm Bureau trade or lose much of
their veterinary trade, which is much
tho larger of tho two.
Because of this knouledgo nnd be
cause nl tho volume of our business
and their appreciation of it, they of
fered lo a representative of the Furin
Bureau a proposition whereby they
will vaccinate, through tho Fnrm Bu
reau, tho hogs of the county. It will

sidered an uiiusunlly good one.
All orders for vaccinntlng as well
as any complaints must come thru
tho Farm Bureau ofTicei Wo will,
of course, continue to inspect and
dlagnoso sick herds as usual. .The
cost to tho farmer for vaccinating
will bo tho same as that charged bv
