Latest Italian=Tur=
ko Developments.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Turkish
embassy gave out an official dispatch.
tonight, containing additional details
of the bombardment of Beirut by
Italian warships. 1t is asserted that
the Italian ships fired on the munich
pal hospital which was flying the
RED Crescent and that the Otto
man, German, saloniki. and Chakai
banks were damaged besides a num-
Der of commercial houses. Fifty per-
sons were killed and IS wounded.
"A projcctile from the ships" the
dispatch states. was found at a dis
lance of five kilometers toward Le-
banon, in an entirely opposite direc-
ton from the port. Shots also fell
in front of the American hospital and
the American school"
The adviees say martial law was
proclaimed and that business was be-
ing resumed.
After the foregoing official facts, "
the dispatch concludes, lit is obvious
to insist on the falsity of the report
said to have emanated from Constan-
tinople and published by some Amer
lean papers to the effect that the city
of Beirut was not bombarded by the
Italians and that the loss of life in
that city should be attributed to mas
sacres by rioters in the town.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.
Infectious Abortion of Cows.

Infectious abortion of cows is
disease little understood by the
average farmer. A COW infected
with this malady may give birth 10
the immature foetus at almost any
period of CESSATION without direct
ly showing material evidence of
the disease. OF two herds of cows
afflicted with infectious abortion,
Investigated by the writer, one
COW aborted in the second month
of CESSATION, two in the fourth,
eight in the fifth month, twelve in
the sixth month, twenty-four in
the seventh month, twenty-nine in
the eighth month and eleven in the
ninth month. Occasionally a calf
dropped prematurely in the latter
period of CESSATION may come alive,
though very weak. Such calves
are termed living abortions." 1t
must not be understood that all
abortions among cows are due to
an infection, as cows occasionally
abort as a result of falling, crowd
ing or being hooked.
A COW will not give nearly as
much milk during a year in which
she drops calf prematurely, as
she will in a year a normal calf is
dropped. 1t is claimed on good
authority that one of the states, in
which dairying is carried on to a
large degree, loses ten million dol
lars annually as a result of this
disease among it's dairy herds.
Not until recently have the in
vestigators in different parts of
the world agreed on the cause of
this disease. In 1896, Professors
Bang and Stribolt, of Copenhagen,
Denmark, announced that they had
discovered a peculiar germ associ-
ated with abortion in cows, with
which they were able to produce
the disease. Many attempts were
made by American psychologists
to isolate this germ, but up to a
short time ago all investigations
failed to reveal it. Recently, how
ever, the germ was isolated by
MacNeal and Kerr, of the Illinois
Experiment Station and by the
writer at the Kentucky Expert
ment Station. The organism caus-
ing this disease in cows is a very
small bacillus assuming a number
of forms when cultivated. This
popularity of form is also noted of
the germ when examined in the
tissue.
This microbe possesses the most
peculiar biological properties to-
ward oxygen, of any known germ,
in that it will only grow in a par
tial pressure of that element. The
pregnant uterus of the COW pre-
sents just the right conditions for
its development.
This germ has recently been iso-
lated from material from aborting
cows by European Investigators
other than Bang and Stribolt. The
names of these men are Newark of
Austria, Priesz of Hungary, Stock
man and MacFadyean of Great
Britain, and Zwick of Holland.
AS scientists are now agreed on
the organism causing this disease
among cows, we may now look
forward to the discovery of a pre-
ventlve or cure for this malady,
based on scientific principles.
