The extension department of
the Montana Agricultural College
has added another county agri-
culturist to those already in the
field under the act of the last
legislature and in anticipation of
the passage of the Smith-Lever
agricultural extension bill by
congress. These acts enable the
extension of service to combine
federal, state and county resour-
ces for use in employing field
demonstrators to work among
the farmers. assisting in farm
management plans, the procuring
of good seed, the production Of
live stock. and in farm diversifi-
cation. They keep in close touch
with the work of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture and the
State Experiment Station, bring
ing information to farmers from
research and experience.
John G. Taylor Of Blaine coun-
ty. son of Senator l.. B. Taylor
who represented the county in.
the last legislature, is the new
selection. Mr.. Taylor was born
on a Montana farm and grew up
with the live stock business

tensively grown and fed. He
graduated from the agricultural
college in 1912 and has since
been engaged in farming and
sheep raising. He has been as
signed to Fallon county under
direction of M. l.. Wilson. Custer

have been $500,0O0. The incor.

THE DOURlNE TESTS
DR.. Perry Zenor, Gives Some
Valuable Information
To StOckmen.

Dourine is a specific infectious
disease peculiar to horses. mules
and asses and is usually trans
mitted from the male to the fe-
male by breeding or vice versa.
1t is only in exceptional cases
that the disease is transmitted
from the mother to the offspring.
The percentage of infection is
about seven per cent with one
exposure, however this would
depend great deal on the local
LESSONS and condition of the ami
NAL.
Bearing this seven per cent in
fection in mind one can easily
understand how it would be pos
sible for an infected mare to run
in a bunch for several years and
the stallion running with same
bunch to still have the percent
in his favor Of not contracting
the disease. 1t is thought by
many that the longer the animal
has had the disease the less dan
ger these is of transmitting the
disease to other animals. Rulle-
Tins issued by the Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry state that 1.-The ami
NAL usually lives from six months
to two years after having con-
tracted Dourine. In this re-
spect we must take into corsid-
Grafton the systemic conditions
of the animals, as we'll as our
climatic conditions. The usual
course of diseases of this kind is
much more acute in the eastern
than in the western mountain
states. There are many reacting
horses to Dourine in this section
that to all appearances would
live to a ripe old age and most
likely die from some other cause
and the horse never show any
clinical symptoms.
Bulletins also describe local
LESSONS much the same as are de-
scribed in syphilis in mankind,
but in the chronic form as exists
in this locality these LESSONS are
only seen in exceptional cases.
AS we note this disease it is usu-
ally nervous affection, the ami
NAL becomes emaciated and on
close observation it is noted the
animals seem to be off in their
gait particularly behind; they
seem to drag their toes and easily
break over at the fetlock: we al
so often observe facial paralysis;
in some cases ulcers develop in
the nose, and the disease has
been mistaken for CHAMBERS; in
reacting horses we often note a
wind bl oxen condition, this being
due to a spasmodic contraction
of the muscles of the larnyx; we
find at times vaginal discharges
due>to alterations in the vagin
or from the walls of the uterus
On the post mortem we general
ly find LESSONS in the overies,.
which may produce ,sterility {:
The only way to positively de-
tect Dourine is through the |abo-
ratory blood test. :.
The period Of incubation is
rather indefinite, sometime last
} ing as long as eight months.

all mares and stations blood

The police are making every prepa :
ration to put down any trouble which
may arise from the discharge Friday

Vincenzo Peppe, of 316 Van Buren,
street, one of the discharged drivers,
appeared before Judge Hahn in the
First Precinct Court today to make a
complaint against one of the new
Marrone drivers, who he says, struck
him. The man was riding with a
Marrone foreman at Warrington
street and Maiden lane, Peppe caid,
and leaned out of the buggy, striking
Peppe as he passed. The police are
investigating.

their leader, Albert Ricci, held a pic

Ricci said today that the picnic was
altogether a social affair and denied
reports the plans were made by the
men TO create any trouble with the
new Marrone drivers. The men are
ready to go back, Ricci says, but will
