PREVENT SCOURS IN CALVES
Infectious Disease Gains Access to the
Body of Young Animal Soon
After Its Birth.

(By c. II. ECKLES. Missouri Experiment
Station)
One kind of scours is an infectious
disease which gains access to the body
of the calf soon after birth through
the freshly broken navel cord. 1t usu-
ally occurs within a week and often
within 4S hours after the calf is born,
and runs its course quickly. The
symptoms are sudden, severe sickness,
sunken eyes and usually a white, foul
smelling dung. If one calf has be-
come infected others are liable to con-
tract the disease and die in the same
manner, 1t is important to thoroughly
disinfect box stalls where calves are
dropped and have them well bedded
with clean straw. 1t is always a good
plan to disinfect the navel cord when
the calf is bern and, if there is reason
to suspect they might contract the dis
ease, extra precautions should be
taken, such as singeing the cord with
hot iron, which stops up the opening,
or to tie the end of the cord with a
string and wrap strip of cloth
around the calls body. A mild solu-
ton of creolin, zenoleum or carbolic
acid should be applied to the cord as
a disinfectant

CoNvIcTS PETITION.

A petition will come before the next
legislature of Pennsylvania bearing
some $4,000 signatures, majority of
the convicts in the Eastern State peni-
tertiary The petitioners pray for the
prevention Of the liquor traffic. They
respectfully aver" from personal
knowledge of the debasing influence of
intoxicating liquors, that fully 20 per
cent of crime within the state is d.
rectly attributable to their use, and
that the abolition of the sale of liquor
by the state would reduce crime at
least so per cent, If not more.
This unique and significant appeal
has caught the public attention and
the press of the country has given it
wide circulation.

Sanitary Covering for Milk Bottles.

Often this paper cap is handled and
rehandled many times in the course
of the operation of emptying the bot
tie, and every time this handling
takes place a certain amount of con-
tamination is impaired to the milk in
the bottle. This paper disk should be
thrown away as soon as it has been
removed from the bottle, and it is not
sufficient that the bottle should be
covered with a saucer, butter chip or
other thing of this character. The
opening should be effectually and Sc
curely covered and a cap of porcelain
has recently been invented for this
purpose Being of glass and having
smooth surface there is little or no
opportunity for the lodgment of germs,
and, furthermore, it's shape is such
that the edges of the bottle are COW
cred and protected from contamina-
ton.

There is only one kind Of advertising
that will stand the test Of short length
Of time. That kind is honest advertis-
ing. II person Advertises that they
give the best quality and then sell the
shoddy sort OF goods, it is very poor ad-
vertising as it is only very short time
until the buying public finds out the de-
ception. II a store advertises that their
prices are less than anyone else can sell,
this is also poor advertising, for there
are SO many things that enter into the
question Of what price an article can be
sold for that merchant only knows
what price he can sell the article for.
The most foolish thing to our mind is
when a merchant begins to tell what
the other fellow can or cannot do.

"The British, French and Belgian
soldiers in the trenches are not at all
unhappy. The trenches on the User

as material, industry and decided con-
structive ingenuity can make them.
THE men for the most part are Iiv.

terrors for them. Some of them have

nerves and no chance to climb up
out of the narrow ditch, even for an
instant
Even nightfall brings little peace,
for 1t is the time chosen for surprise
attacks. Suddenly, not ten yards from
a trench, men rise from the darkness,
cry rings out; a sentinel, who had
dozed in spite of himself, staggers to
his feet-too late! The dazzling rays
of searchlight kilometer away
blind the men in the trenches, while
the attacking forces, who have the
light at their backs, charge bayonets.
Then all is dark again. The search
light is removed to escape the shells
of hostile batteries. In the shadow
of the moonless, stariess night
frightful hand to hand fight takes
place, with hoarse cries OF anger and
death, and with cracking of rifles.
Thus the nights succeed one an
other, in heavy sleep full of dreams
and nightmares, some of which are
only too real Hearing all this, one
can understand that progress should
be slow. One asks ones self how
many more months and months long
er this killing OF men must go on,
this wearing them down, this dying
of disease, this frightening them into
madness, until at last the formid-
able invader shall have been driven

New York.-The German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau escaped from Mes
sina to the Dardanelles at the start or
the war by using a week-ol6 secret
code stolen from the British admiralty.
This fact, brought cut at the recent
court martial which eXonerated ADJ
miral Troubridge from blame, has been
suppressed by the British censor, but
reached New York by mail from Lon
don. Troubridge had the boats bottled
up at Messina, but received wireless
code message, worded and signed in
correct admiralty form, ordering him
to let the cruisers alone. Assuming
that other plans had been worked out
for their capture, he did as directed.
Not until he reached London for the
court martial did he learn the order
was spurious. Supposedly 1t was sent
by the Goeben herself or by some Ger
man wireless station. The code could
only have been obtained by spy or
by Treason of some Briton high in au-
thority.
