Hog Cholera Peril Tied to Water and Waste
Henry Republican letters discuss hog cholera hitting producers hard with losses from $10,000 to $20,000 plus debt and mortgage strains. Josern Minis argues four main causes bad water protection from weather poor corn quality and damaged feed. He urges purification of hog water by tile troughs, draining stagnant pools, and avoiding streams to prevent disease spread.

Temperance notes and village life from Putnam county
A mixed local column from Putnam County describes weather, small-town events, and civic notes. It reports thick ice, rain, and a looming thaw, mentions Rev. C. O. Knowlton preaching at the M E pulpit, a jocular marriage quip about a minister, and an account of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union holding alternating meetings. A Grand Square fight at Hohentok’s saloon is cited, with calls for more temperance workers and fewer boosters, ending with a reflection on future generations.
