Papa went up town this morn.  He was talking to Adam Eckert & he says he lost about 31 hogs, every one he had, so he bought 3 from Wm. Naiser.  Just everybody is losing hogs, Ben Rausch had his vaccinated & still lost one.  Ed Parker lost some vaccinated, Sam Krehress are sick, the truck from Belleville are out everyday getting some in.  We washed, ironed, patched today, for once it didn’t rain, we had several showers during the night.  Ed Meng was here awhile.  Henry  & family came up & brought some potatoes along, to cook tomatoes home to make catsup with.
