fever OF HORSES
CASES HERE And There

The United States Department of
Agriculture continues to receive reports
indicating the prevalence of swamp
fever or infectious anemia of horses
in sections Of Minnesota. Kansas.
Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming. Mon
tana, North Dakota and Texas, where
considerable losses have resulted. The
disease occurs mainly in low-lying and
poorly drained sections, although it
has been discovered on marshy pas
lures in attitudes as high az !. 500
feet. 1t is also more prevalent in wet
seasons than in dry ones.
The disease begins to manifest itself
by a dull, ~listless appearance and general
weakness. the animal firing easily.
This stage is followed by a staggering,
swaying, uncertain gait. the hind legs
being mostly affected. The temperature
generally remains high for several days
and then drops to rise again at irregular
intervals. The horse may improve for
a time, but Usually this temporary i'm
provement is followed by q more severe
attack than at first. The quantity of
urine passed is sometimes enormous,
death finally occurring from exhaustion.
If the disease is uncomplicated it will
run a chronic course and usually termi-
mates fatally in from two months to a
much longer period.
Although the treatment Of the disease
has not been In all cases satisfactory,
an antipyretic of 40 grains of quinine,
2 Grams of acetanilid, and 30 grains
OF powered u vomica four times daily
has greatly reduced the mortality. In
the last stage with weak heart. alcohol
should be substituted for acetanilid.
Cold-water sponge baths may be given
and in addition frequent copious in
jections of cold water per rectum, to
reduce the temperature and stimulate
the bowels which usually show a tend
ency to become torpid during the fever.
Giving purgatives should be avoided
unless absolutely necessary on account
of their debilitaaing effect, but laxative
and easily digested feed should be
given instead. Sometimes a dirty
yellowish tinge of mucous membrane is
observed. in which case 20 grains of
calomel in from 2 TO 4 drains of aloes
in a ball. or 2-dram doses of fluid ex-
tract of podophyllin may be given.
After the fever has subsidized a tonic
of the following drugs in combination.
should be given:s.. Arsenious acid, 2
grams powdered nux vomica. % grams F;
powdered cinchona. bark, IS grams F;
powdered gentian root. 10 grams
These should be well mixed and one
half tablespoonful given at each feed
The healthy animals should. be separ-
ated from the sick,. and the infected
stable, stalls. litter. and all utensils
thoroughly disinfected! The %disinfect-
ant may be made of the compound So
luton of cresol, carbolic acid, or
cho!orid of lime, mixing 6 ouncesof any
one of these with one gallon of water
and applying literally to all parts of
the stable.

Cost of Living In 1923.

That prices Of food were not always
SO high as they are now is the testi-
mony of a little rusty volume of poems
and facts compiled by Moses Guest
who arrived in Cincinnati from the
East in 1928 and took careful note o
many things he saw, including the
market. Ho jotted his observations
down in his journal, which was later
published, and this interesting bit of
information was culled from its
pages:
Markets in Cincinnati are abund-
antly supplied with the best kinds of
meats and vegetables. Beef, mutton and
veal sell from to cents a pound, pork
from l-2 to l-2 cents, butter, IL l-2

An Advertising Fable.

In a certain barI,yard there
were two hens, one of which,
when she laid an egg, cackled,
because she knew when she
had a good thing, and she
wanted others to know it-that
hen believed in advertising.
And many were the breakfasts
her enterprise supplied.
When the other hen laid
eggs she disdained to cackle.
"W hats the use?" she said;
Everybody Knows 1 Lay
Eggs" and she cackled not.
One day the owner of the
hens by accident discovered
the nestof the Noiseless One,
and it was full of eggs. But
they were too old to use. And
Immediately he cut off the
head of the hen that had re.
fused to be modern" and

goods becoming ''over ripe?'

True Standards
of Life.
The Measure of a Man is What
He Is, Not What He Has.

1t take so long to learn how
to live; so long to get even a
glimmering of what life is for
aud what we ought to do with
ours. We are so prone to live
in the future, to fret ourselves
about it. We are so busy
yearning for the joys we
imagine other people have and
worrying about the trouble
we imagine we ale having,
that we make the present-the
one thing we are sure of-an
endless regret.
And of all the follies, the
limit is to permit some one
else TO make our Standards
for us. Haven't we intelli-
gence? Can't we think for
ourselves? To want things we
don't really care for, just be-
cause someone else has the m,
wouldn't understand if we and
did have theml To struggle
and strain to make show,
when all the neighbOrs know
it is only a show and would re-
spect us a heap more if we had
the courage to be ourselveSl
vesi Death 5 standards ought
to be life's standards. Death
does not ask how big a house
we hail from, nor how many
university degrees we have
won, nor what is our bank
account. Nor what we have,
nor what we know, but what we
are. And that's our measure
of everybody but ourselves.

What We Should Do.

We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we can
in every way possible that will be to
its advantage. Our neighbours prosper
ity means great deal more TO us than
someone's who lives elsewhere. We
should bear this in mind in buying our
goods. We can afford to pay our home
man firm price for his wares rather
than send our money away, knowing as
we do that every dollar our own citizen
makes will help in sustaining our
schools, churches and public insti-
tutions. 1t pays richly to patronize
home industry.
