WHEN THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY

The Gazette takes great pleasure
in announcing that Redwood Falls
again has an organized cornet band
and competent leader. The ma
terial has existed for some time, but
for various reasons the matter of
organizing has been hindered for
lack of funds to pay the actual ex-
penses of buying music and paying
for the leaders, services. Willard
Root, the new leader, is willing to
do almost anything within reason to
get the band organized, and the old
members are actuated by the same
spirit, so the financial burden was
made light enough to be assumed
by public-spirited few, the fair
management agreeing to pay a
moderate appropriation for the band
at the coming fair. Mr.. Root is
known as a good musician and the
members of the band already ap-
pear to have confidence in his abili-
ties as leader. The band will meet
tonight, and as soon as they have
practiced few times, will appear in
a band concert once more, the date
to be announced later.

SILK THREAD IN NEST.
Bright Material. Made Trouble fol
Home.6uiIding Robins.

1T is astonishing says a bird
lover, where and how birds manage
to find or steal the variety of materi.
ais they use in building their nests.
Two robins are now building In a
tree close to my window, and besides
twigs, blades of dried grass, horse
hairs. and other things that might be
expected, one of them brought skein
OF blue silk thread. 1t had been stolen
from somewhere, and was evidently
regarded by both the robins as a very
valuable acquisition, for after bring
ing it to the nest there was a long,
animated discussion as to what ought
to be done with it. 1t would not do
to use it on the outside, for its color
was so bright that it would attract at
tention to the nest, so after a world of
talk about it, the silk was finally dis
posed of by twining it round and
round on the inside. There it be-
came the cause of further trouble, for
the male bird, leaving the nest, found
it tangled with his claws, and pulled it
nearly all out, being roundly scolded
by the lady bird for his carelessness.
1t took hours to put it all back again
and prevent recurrence of similar
accident, but things were finally ad-
justed to the satisfaction of both
birds, and though l could not see, I
think they covered up the silk with
bits Of paper, for saw them carrying
fragments of newspaper and wrappers
and apparently very busy slowing
them away inside"

CONTAGIOUS ABOR-
TON in CATTLE
BY Prof. f. w. Wilson, Arizona
Experiment Station.

BY contagious abortion is meant the
premature birth Of the offspring, due
to specific infection communicated
In various ways.
Many times the owners are una
ware Of this disease, while in a num-
Der of cases it is known to be pres
ent.
Contagious abortion occurs more
frequently in dairy herds than in any
others, although beef cattle, sheep,
horses and goats may become infect
ed. The prevalence Of this disease in
dairy herds is probably due to the
weakened condition of dairy cows
caused by the continuous drain of Civ.
ing milk.
Single cows may abort at times be-
cause of general debility, fevers, acute
diseases, indigestion, overwork wor-
~, bloating, strains, blows, early
breeding and in and in.breeding, or
eating of cottonwood bark, corn smut
and ergot on grain and grasses; stag
nant water is considered dangerous.
It is also reported that cattle feeding
in pine forests sometimes abort, but
the cause in such cases is not under.
stood.
An animal aborting under these
conditions should not be condemned
at once, as she will not likely abort
again. She should, however, be iso.
lated and receive sanitary care.
Contagious abortion spreads rapid.
ly from animal to animal. 1t may be
communicated by infected animals of
either sex, or by unclean surround.
ings such as stalls, bedding or the
fences of farmyard where a COW has
aborted, and to which healthy animals
are allowed access.
It is we'll to call some competent
veterinarian, in case of contagious
abortion, so that the farmer may learn
the need of careful work in cleaning
all infected places, and also the tech
nique regarding the use of the syr-
inge. After few trials this manipu.
lation becomes easy and he will soon
learn to employ the necessary care
in keeping this disease in check. In
case suitable syringe is not accessi-
BILE, very good results may be had by
using a homemade fountain syringe
consisting of rubber tube and fun
mel which is held sufficiently high to
give the proper pressure. 1t is bet
ter to sell infected animals for beef
rather than to try to cure them, as
the average person is not careful and
painstaking enough to treat the dis
ease. Unless it is an especially good
individual it is well not to keep any
animal that has possibility of being
infected with this disease. Aborting
animals should be Immediately iso.
lated from healthy ones and kept
there until entirely cured. Infected
animals are not Objectionable for food.
and, as far as the writer has been
able to learn, there is no law to pre-
vent man from selling an infected
animal for beef, II in healthy con-
dition in other respects.
Treatment.-All cows that have
aborted or that are suspected should
be isolated from healthy animals.
Just as soon as COW aborts the off,
spring and afterbirth should be de-
stroyed By burning and the immediate

not one horse of a whole string will
face doing so. The manager of one
travelling circus has ingeniously solved
the difficulty.
A big, strong framed mirror-one
OF the circus ''properties"-mounted
on wheels, is placed on deck, and at
the end of the gangwway. The lead
ing horse is led to position facing
this, and, seeing his own reflection in
the mirror. he thinks there is a horse
already on board, and so feels no
hesitation in Joining it." One by one
the remaining horses follow.
