Foot and Month Disease.

With Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio
and nine other states under quaran-
tine because OF the appearance OF
the dreaded foot-and- mouth disaase
OF cattle, every West Virginia cattle
owner should inform himself as to
the nature Of this disease. One oi
the most frequent means of spreading
foot-and-mouth disease Is through
visits Of farmers, for mere curiosity,
TO nearby infected herds. The dis
ease is so highly infectious that 1t Is
a very easy matter for. a man 10 carry
the infection to animals at q consid-
cradle distance. Humans sometimes
contract the disease, but the effects
are not usually 80 severe as In the
case OF animals. Horses have never
been known to contract this disease
The foot-and-mouth af1iction il
characterized by chill which quick
ly gives place to high fever that
reaches LOG degrees in some In
stances. These symptoms appear
within a few days after exposure e
the infection. They are followed BY
the formation OF yesicles or blisterf
dn the mouth and sores upon tht
udder and feet. The fever usually
continues until the. disease has run
It's course, which ordinarily requires
ten to twenty days. The grayist
'blisters In the mouth soon break aut
leave reddened sore spots. A white
foam also collects around the hp.
and the afflicted animal makes a pc
culiar smacking sound. The feet be.
come swollen and sore and in some
instances the hoof comes off.
Though It is not possible to do any.
thing for the herd that is suffering
It is possible to use every mean.
available to prevent infections q
others. The farmer who is in 10.
cality near known outbreaks SHOULD
avoid bringing livestock on The
farm. II any signs of sickness Occur
In the herd, separate the afflicted
animals at once, even though reason
ably sure that 1t is not foot-and.
mouth disease. Dogs, cats, birds
people, etc, are means by which ths
malady may be transmitted from
place to place, as we'll as by the
cattle themselves. and the herds
should be carefully guarded to avoit
any possible chance of exposure b,
any of these routes.

Ut is with great pleasure that We
give our readers today nature

Sligo, the chicken hawk, circled
round and round in the blue vault
OF the sky.
Save for few fieeey clouds and
perhaps sun, the sky, except for
Sligo, seemed empty.
Round and around. around and
round, he circled. A narrow circle
always. having for It's center tho fig
ure of gunner down in the woods.
Ever and anon the gunner would
stand, point his weapon directly at
the lowering chicken hawk, and fire.
And, quite as ever and anon, the
chicken hawk. unframed, would keep
circling directly overhead.
Does 1t not seem queer that so old
a bird as Sligo. consumer Of so many
chickens, eluder OF so many farmers,
should apparently know no better
than to tiirt with death in SO fiippant
a manner?
Yes, it does not! Sligo knows that
gunner, knows him for the worst shot
in Skigbury county, and Sligo Is de-
iiberately staying within easy sfoot-
ing distance Of him Cor safety's sake!

Farmers, Week. :

Many farmers from all parts OF
the state are arranging to attend the
series OF lectures and demonstrations,
known as, Farmers Week, to be held
at the College of Agriculture, at Nor
gantown, January 40.
During this week each year, the
class rooms and laboratories OF the
college are thrown open to the visit
Ors and every effort is put forth to
make their stay both instructive and
pleasurable. Special demonstrations
illustrating various new or improved
methods OF doing certain agricul-
tural operations always prove an at
tractiye feature. The special series
of lectures by prominent agrlcultur-
lists from West Virginia and nearby
states is we'll worth going long
distance to hear. Two OF these spec
tal lectures are given each day. Some
of the speakers are Prof. W., V.
Coffey, University OF Illinoisj Dean

FIRE.PR0OFNG SHINGLES.

The use of wooden shingles as a
covering for city houses is coming
more and more under the ban OF fire
prevention ordinances. Efforts are
being made to save the shingle mar
ket by "a satisfactory fire-prooAng
of the shingles. The United States
Forest Products laboratory has been
making some interesting experiments,
with the result that the solution Of
the problem may be found in the
simple article of paint.
In this research 1t has been proved
that wooden shingles well covered
with a good quality of linseed oil
paint are much less liable to catch
fire than implanted shingles. Not
only does the dry paint show itself
resistant to fire, but 1t has very i'm
portant indirect effects.

versity and the Virginia Military In
stitute both being located there. The
principal Industries are celebrating
anniversaries and taking in student
boarders.
The very abr OF Lexington is per-
meated with grand traditions. his
tortcal associations, and lofty ideals.
To realize this you have but to read
the catalogs OF either of the two
schools. This welghty moral atmos-
phere, however, seems to rest upon
the soul Of the gay and carefree stu
dent as lightly as dew upon the rose.

autumn moon, he compels the luck
less freshman to deliver an impas-
stoned discourse upon the whichness
of what or describe the best method
of manufacturing striped paint. Upon
the steps of the moss-grown chapel
where Lee and Washington wor-
shipped, he merrily spoons away the
June evenings, all unaware OF the
disappearing shades of departed
greatness. On the very top OF the
administration building of Washing

statute OF George Washington, and
1t is the immemorial custom for each
new class that enters the university
to scale that dizzy height and paint
the Father of his Country a different
color every year.

conservative temper. They fought

modern industrialism triumphed, and
in due course little narrow gauge

impudent toot. They have finally
come to look upon 1t as q necessary

1t Is easy to laugh at Lexington
for its own exaggerated conscious
ness of its fancied Importance; but
the stranger who walks its streets
for the first time will indeed feel that
he stands among heroic memories.
The houses are old and impressive,

spreading trees. On. the top OF a
grassy slope stand the century-old
buildings Of the college that Wash

upheld by white pillars fifty feet
high and six feet thick. The whole
village conveys an impression of age,
permanence and dignity which would
impress anyone except some ire
sponsible little sophomore with a
pipe, in his mouth, chip on his
shoulder, his hat over enc ear and
in his heart fierce determination
not to be impressed by anything but

The consumer and the farmer are

There are too many big dogs

sky high before the consumer evel

DEATH CAUSED
 BY ACCIDENT

The first report sent out that An drew Aspholm. who body was found il few days ago, had come to his death byfreezing during severe blizzard last December is found to be incor- rect. An examination made by the United States commissioner shows that AsphOlm came to his death as q result of a gun shot wound. It appears that he had taken refuge from the blizzard which was known to have been a severe one during the afternoon of the day he left his home on a hunt ing and trapping trip. and while there was accidentally shot. exactly how of course is not known.
 An examination shows that Aspholm was shot through the stomach by the discharge of his own gun and 1t IS supposed that the gun was discharged by accident.
 Aspholm left the Pilgrim river road house about ten o'clock on the morn ing of the 27th day of December to set some snares and traps along the Pilgrim river saying. as he left. he would return between one and two o'clock in the afternoon.
 It is supposed that he was gone longer than he expected and as it was a beautiful day when he left that morning, he was not expecting that a blizzard would blow up that day About three o'clock in the afternoor one of the worst blIzzards of the win. ter came up and rPGed throughout the night of December 27-2S. Aspholn not returning that night his wife hal ed MT. Gus Wheeler as he was pass ing early next morning, and told him of the absence of her husband. Wheel CT immediately set out in search oI AsphOlm in which he was soon Joined by others who continued the search for several days and until there was no further hope of finding him.
 The finding of his body a few days ago in the Horton Igloo solves wh has been mysterious disappearance el Aspholm who was known to be famil- far with every foot of the country and who was not likely to have been lost and frozen to death unless he should have met with some mishap.
 Aspholm was a native of Finland was fortytwo years old and came to the United States when quite young and lived in Mendicina county, Cali fornia, till he started for Alaska, ar irving in Nome in the spring of 1900, where he has resided ever since.
 He was married in San Francisco last May to Miss Josephine Anderson who survives him. He is survived by a father and four sisters who are now living in Finland.
