BLACKLEG, A FATAL
DISEASE AMONG CATTLE
Vaccination the Only Effective Method of
By DIR. Victor A. Norgaard

There are but few countries in the
world where blackleg does not pre-
vail to some extent. The ravages of
this disease are not confined to certain
zones or attitudes, but occur as fire.
quently in the extreme north as in the
tropical regions, and as often on the
highest mountain pastures as in the
lowlands. AS to the class of cattle
most frequently affected by blackleg,
the majority of reports agree that full
blood or high grade stock are more
subject to the disease than the COM
mon or low grade range cattle
1t is the spring and the fall which
seem to be the seasons most fashion
able for the development of blackleg.
The disease is, however, not confined
to these seasons, but appears at all
times of the year with more or less
frequency. In the north, for instance,
in the Dakotas, the real blackleg sea-
son lasts from April to September or
October, but outbreaks are reported
in every month of the year. In Nebras-
ka and Colorado the outbreaks are
more evenly distributed over the whole
year, with a slight increase during
spring and fall, and the same may
be said of Kansas, but with slightly
higher percentage of cases during fall
and spring In Oklahoma, Indian Ter
ritory, and the Panhandle of Texas it
is difficult to single out any season as
being more favorable to blackleg than

known to occur, and an earnest eff
fort on the part of the stock owners
to prevent the reinfection of their
pastures, blackleg may be kept In
check and gradually eradicated.
The distribution of blackleg vaccine
will be continued by the government
bureau until further notice, and ade-
quate measures have been taken to
avoid all delay in sending the vaccine
Immediately on receipt of the applica-
ton 1t is advisable that all stock own
ers in infected districts should vac
cinate their young stock regularly,
without awaiting an outbreak Of the
disease, as heavy losses may be sus-
tanned in the course of a few days.
To prepare the vaccine in such a
way that it may be injected hypo-
dermically it is necessary to obtain
certain implements which, together
with the hypodermic syringe, are
known as a vaccinating outfit. This
consists of a porcelain mortar with a
pestle, a small glass funnel, and a
measuring glass. Our illustration
shows the vaccinating outfit recon-
mended by the government bureau. All
of the utensils, including the hypoder-
mic syringe and a package of absorb
ent cotton, are fitted in strong pol
ished oak box, which, by means OF
an adjustable wire loop, serves also
as support for the funnel when the
vaccine is filtering. The syringe, two

Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Semidress Dresses.

Every business woman knows the
necessity for the dress which she
must wear to the office at times when
going directly from the place of BUSH
ness to an entertainment, dinner or
some place of amusement. There
must be something which strikes the
happy medium between the simple
Office dress and the elaborate dressy
frock. A good pattern is one of the
one-piece dresses, either a princess
dress or one with a jumper waist and
dainty white waist beneath. The
plain coIored dress, neatly trimmed
with velvet and lace, is always stylish
and looks dainty A dress of this kind
necessarily demands a separate wrap
and nothing is more suitable than a
black marchioness which may be said
to possess sterling qualities for the
business woman, since it will serve for
many purposes. A picture hat may be
worn, neat gloves, and as she leaves the
office if she desires to wear flowers
she can stop at some florists and get
the desired ornament.

ALWAYS USEFUL AND STYLISH.
Panama Shirtwaist Costume a Neces-
sity of the Wardrobe.

There is nothing you can buy which
will exactly take the place of black
Panama shirtwaist costume. 1t will
be necessary to half line the waist at
the top, also the cuffs and collars,

for Panama cloth is harsh against the
skin. The circular skirt is a good
model for this suit and the best trim
ming is bands of silk or braid in mar
row widths. No difference how often
one gets caught in the rain or how
tightly the suit is packed, it comes
forth from the deluge or packing very
respectable in appearance. An occa-
sional pressing makes it look fresh
and countless are the little trif1es one
can add at different times to make q
change in it's appearance For a
schoolgirl the dress is certainly one of
the most serviceable; in any color it
serves nicely for a school teacher or
clerk. Even the jumper pattern is
stylish when developed with Panama
cloth and narrow bindings of black
silk 1t has more durability than
serge, wears better than most wiry
fabrics and sheds dust. One should,
however, bind the skirt around the
bottom, for the material will soon
wear off coming in contact with the
floor. Aside from this the material
has many features to recommend it.

months; in six months he was well.

FOUL BROOD
OR BEE PEST

The investigations of the British
board of agriculture and fisheries into
this affection of the small holder have
resulted in the publication of a useful
little pamphlet, which those who keep
bees cannot afford to neglect. 1t does
not contain anything new, but it sum-
marizes the knowledge that was al
ready in the possession of those in
terested in the subject. We are told,
microscopic rod-shaped bacterium,
termed bacillus alvei, which increases
by cross-division, and has, under GER
tain conditions, the power of forming
spores. 1t is important to note that
bacilli are present in the earlier stages
of the disease, but in the later stages,
when the brood has become rotten
and coffee-cOlored, or has dried up to
a scale, the bacilli produce spores and
then perish. These spores represent
the seeds of the evil; they are rest
ing resistant stage tiding the bacteri-
UNI over unfavorable conditions of
food, temperature, ETC., of giving rise
to the growing form Of the bacillus"
The symptoms by which foul brood
makes itself known are weak stocks,
langor at work, light swarming and
the general deterioration of the hive.
An examination of the combs will gen
orally disclose the symptoms in the lar
vac, which, if diseased, are found ex-
tended horizontally in the cell, pie
senting a fiabby appearance and of
pale straw color. The preventive meas
ures suggested are particularly to be
noted The beekeeper often dissemin-
ates the disease by failing to wash his
hands with carbolic soap and to disin-
feet the articles with which he has to
come in contact The only sure method
of getting rid of the diseases in a weak
colony iS to destroy bees, combs,
frames and quilts. The policy of try
ing to retain even strong hive is
questionable. 1t is said in a note: ct
may be added that in the case of mild
attacks disinfection or fumigation is
sometimes resOrted to, formalin being
the chief agent used. In attempting
such remedial measures, however, or
remedial measures of the nature de-.
scribed above, it would be desirable,
wherever such help can be procured,
to seek the advice of an expert"

have not been able to build up much
of fruit trade with Europe. Even
with apples the trade is great only
in certain years when the crop is
large in this country and short In
Europe. This is because when the
crop is small here the prices paid at

duplicated to attract our fruit The
shipping of apples even requires great
