carried over the country by cats

Cases have already been found in

farmers to inspect suffering animals.

The mortality, considering the
seriousness of the disease and the
losses it occasions, is very small, be-

5 per cent; although it frequently
is much greater than this.
The mortality, however, by no

James P. Dilts will celebrate his
eighty-eighth birthday anniversary

During the summer and fall he
has been away on a number of

Pennsylvania, and has made a num-
Der of trips around the country in
his automobile. Always interested
in anything that made for progress
in his community, he was one of the
early purchasers of an automobile.

second car.
When the Bell telephone ex-
tensions were made to Sergeants-

subscriber, and has made much use
of the phone since its installation.
Mr.. Dilts was born near Sergeants-

several other places. including ten
years in Lambertville, he returned

THE FOOT AND
MOUTH DISEASE
How Lambertville Is Affected by
The Quarantine on This
Strange Malady.
STOPS OVER-RIVER BUSINESS

The foot and mouth disease affects
Lambertville and New Hope; Stock
ton and Center Bridge. Raven Rock
and Lumberville, and all other places
along interstate boundary lines, on
account of the quarantine.
Cattle, hay or grains can only be
taken across the river bridges after
federal inspection has been made,
as Pennsylvania is under quarantine.
The foot-and-mouth disease affects
chiefly cattle, sheep, goats, and
swine, but there are number of
other animals of less commercial i'm
portance which are also susceptible.
Occasionally human beings are af-
fected, but in the majority of in
stances the disease is not severe in
the case of man. Children, how
ever, may become dangerously i'll if
their milk is infected.
The first indications of the disease
are chill followed by high fever,
the temperature rising rapidly some
times to 1860 F.
In short time vesicles about the
size of the pea appear in the mouth
at the end of the tongue, on the in
side of the cheeks, and on the gums.
These vesicles contain a yellowish
watery fluid. They spread as the
disease advances and cause the ami
NAL to open and shut its mouth un-
easily with characteristic smacking
sound.
A day or two after the first ap-
pearance of the eruptions in the
mouth similar indications appear
upon the feet, which are swollen,
red, and tender. Because of this
the animal frequently persists in ly
ing down, and bedsores develop
with much rapidity.
In the case of cows the udder and
more frequently, the teats are
affected by a similar eruption.
Once the disease is we'll establish
ed it becomes so painful for the
animal to eat that food is frequent
" refused altogether. Strings of
saliva hang from the mouth, and
flesh is lost with astonishing rapidity.
When the udder is seriously
affected the milk becomes con-
taminated and may cause serious
results to sucking calves and young
pigs.
In mild cases from 10 to 20 days
may bring about an apparent re-
coyery., but this time may be
greatly extended.
Moreover, an apparent recovery
by no means implies real cure.
The animal may carry the virus in

BEST USE OF CORN FODDER
In Tests With Sheep at Massachusetts,
Station Has Shown Feed to Be
Good for Fattenlnp.
CBy JAMES MoRMoN)
Copyright, 19i4)

(COpyr8nt, lSifJ
Corn is an excellent feed for live
stock, both grain and stalks being fed
to advantage, but In feeding II care
must be taken to give the best results.
The grain is concentrated source OF
nutriment palatable. easily masti-
Gated and readily digested and assim-
Hated, but for dairy cows. corn should
never be made up more than one-haif
to three-ffths Of the concentrate part
of the ration. II needs roughage as
cornstalks or hay fed with 1t, for
corn is poor in protein. but rich In d.
gestible carbohydrates. So for dairy
cows, corn should be ground and fed
with bran middlings or ground oats
which are richer in protein, rather
than fed alone.
Corn fodder is the name given to
the whole plant harvested with the
ears on the stalks. The nutritive ratio
of corn fodder has been ascertained to
be about / to Ills, so that some high
er protein food is necessary to prop
erly balance it to get the good re-
suits, and either alfalfa or clover has
been found excellent for the purpose.
In tests with sheep the Massachu-
sets station has shown that different
varieties of corn fodder, while vary
ing slightly in digestibility. are good
for fattening purposes. At the Mani
toba experiment farm corn fodder
was fed to steers, and 1t proved to
be a more profitable roughage than
oat sheaves Where small numbers
of stock are kept, good results may
be obtained by feeding cut corn fod-
der moistened with hot water and al
lowed to stand for "a hours. The con-
centrated feeds, such as cottonseed
meal, can be mixed with this mass
and the cattle will eat 1t readily and
waste little. In fact, 1t is better and
safer to use with cottonseed meal
than dried fodder or hay.
Corn fodder may also be fed to
horses, but one-third of the bulk Of the
ration should be made up of some
other material, preferably red clover
Or alfalfa. Avoid feeding soft corn,
which is injurious to horses. AS a
matter Of fact, corn slower is to be
preferred to corn fodder for horses.
with slight addition of some concen-
rate feed. Shredding the slower ia
neither necessary nor desirable.
The name corn slower is applied to
he stalk after the ear of corn has
'een removed. Slower may be fed to |
airy, cows with good results. particu-
arly if the stoYer is shredded and |
liked with cut alfalfa or bran, oats,
arley or peas. thus providing a val
able and cheap feed. Shredding |

led and stored and readily eaten by Il
ock.

WAsTEFUL FEEDING METHODS
Considerable Amount of Feed Could
Be Saved by Providing Suitable
Racks or Managers.

One Of the great sources OF waste in
feeding animals during the winter
months is failure to have feed
rack OF some sort in which to put the
feed. The feed is put on the ground
and about one-third OF 1t wasted by
the animals tramping 1t under foot
This could be Temedied by putting up
suitable feed racks or hangers.
Another source Of waste is in feed
ing whole fodder. II the fodder could
be shredded and fed In that form II

would save about one-half OF the fod-
der that is usually wasted when fed
whole. The animals will not eat the
whole fodder II they think that there
Is grain Of corn In 1t. but wiz nose
It around. trample It under foot and
waste q larger portion OF It. When
fed whole It Is a good deal easier for
them to pull It out OF the rack or

ground.
To save these little items OF feed
means the saving OF good money and

TWO AMBASSADORS.

It must be gratifying to all good Americans to read the high tribute paid to our Ambassador at Berlin, ex- Judge Gerard, by the former British Ambassador, Sir William Edward Goschen. After speaking of the great assistance he had rendered under very trying circumstances, especially in arranging for the safety of stranded British subjects, the ex-Ambassador says:
 "He (Gerard) extricated many of these from extremely difficult situa- tions, at some personal risk to him. self. His calmness and savior-faire and his firmness in dealing with the imperial authorities gave full assur- rance that the protection of British subjects and interests could not have been left in more efficient and able hands,"
 This statement is particularly in teresting because of the Republican lClidTEt lHdl lflt VHSOn AufnlflfStfa- tion has filled the higher diplomatic posts with incompetent and untried men. As a matter of fact nearly all our present Ambassadors abroad are men of distinctly better type than those whom they succeeded. Mir. Gerard's immediate predecessor was a Republican with strong penchant for stock speculation. His diplomatic usefulness was ended when firm of brokers sued him for something like S75,000 said to have been lost in an unsuccessful flyer. His case was not an unusual one under the old re- gime.
