interesting Facts About the Foot
and Mouth Disease.

In the Current Issue of the Farm and
Firesde Judson C. Welliver, Washing
ton correspondent of that publication,
writes an article in which he gives the
following interesting facts about the
foot and-mouth disease:
''If you watch your stock carefully 1t
will not be hard to note the symptoms
of foot-and-mouth disease. Cattle,
sheep, goat, hogs, are liable to it.
Watch an animal that slobbers or
drools.
eff that animal begins smacking the
lips, loses appetite and flesh, and pres
emily perhaps develops sores between
the toes, don't wait an hour Get
skilled veterinarian.
Also report your suspicious to the
nearest agent of the Agricultural De-
partment.
"Cattle with this disease don't COM
monty die Of it. Commonly it would
be to the farmers profit if they did
Let alone they will linger through a
useless existence. The milk falls off
in quantity; gets blue. Even after ex-
ternal symptoms disappear, the animal
is probably infected with the disease
and may develop a new case or trans
init it to others. Nothing is more con-
tagious. Animals once infected often
become regular Typhoid Marys;' that
is, they are full of the germs, though
themselves immune to their effects;
they can communicate the disease very
widely, though themselves not suffer-
ing, apparently, from it.
'1f the disease is in your neighbor-
hood, kill every pigeon on the place
"And also, so far as possible, every
rat
Both pigeons and rats are great car
rers of the disease.

Report of Vermont Sanitorium

The seventh annual report of the

sheets show that there were sc patients
in the sanatorium January l, 1914, and
that go patients were admitted during
the year, making total of 108 who
were treated. All of these except 5
were tuberculous. OF the 90 patients
admitted during 1914, 10 were incipient;
&c were moderately advanced; while II
were far advanced. The average
length of stay was five months. The
average number of patients during the
year was over SO, being about three
more than in 1913. OF the patients
who were discharged during 1914, IL
were apparently cured; 81 We're arrested.
% were improved; Is failed to improve
and one died. 81 patients gained weight,
making an average increase of 10. 65 lbs.
The IA patients who did not gain had
an average loss of 5. SO lbs The greatest
number of patients are very naturally
native of Vermont; 81 were from thi.
State; IL were born in other States: ON
in Canada, while the rem. ming II were
Europeans. The sanatorium has com
pleted its seventh year, and up to Janu-
AIRY |, 1918, has admitted GIG patients.
The melhcd If treatment has not
varied greatly during the past year.
The greatest reliance is placed upon
rest, fresh air and a liberal diet. The
buildings are so constructed that every
patient is enabled to sleep out of doors
Forced feeding has never been used,
though the dietary is carefully watch, d,
and every effort is made to make it
ample and appetizing. Bed treatment
is used for all cases having tempera-
ture, and exercise is given only after
careful observation and under direct
supervision Of the medical authorities.
Three cases have been treated bv
means of the artificial pneumothorax,
and two have made marked and distinct
improvement, while the third has I'M
doubtedly been benefited. This method
of treatment has been extensively used
throughout America for the past four
or five years, but it is by no means APP
plicable to all classes of cases.
A number of patients have been sup
ported at the sanatorium by the Red
Cross society and by the State of Yer
mont. No cases are received at the
sanatorium until they have been ex-
amined by one of the sanatorium ex-
aminers, who are cow eniently located
throughout the State.

EDUCATIONAL.

1t is impossible to fortell what
changes in the map of Europe may be
caused by the terrible war now waged
in that unhappy country. 1t is, how
ever, beyond question that several, per-
haps many important changes will be
effected. This fact is of interest in con-
nection with our public schools. In the
study of geography children are and
should be taught, not only to To-
cate important places by memory, but
u form correct ideas of the size and
shape of different countries by accurate
map-drawing. To fix firmly in the
child's mind the present form of Turkey.
and then in a few months find there was
no such country, that Austria, Russia
and other European States were much
changed would be confusing and I'M
fortunate. First impressions are
strongest and if correct should abide.
This thought may seem unimportant,
but not so in the minds of some edu-
Gators. The school board of at least
one large city, is reported to have
ordered the dscontinuance in its schools
of geographical studies in the war belt
of Europe, to be resumed only after the
terms of peace have been declared.
Though at peace ourselves and more
than 1000 miles from the fields of car
mage, how truly does the influence of
this wicked war enter the very
thresholds of our homes.

The laboratory staff of the United
States Forest Service has studied the
relative value of various kinds of wood
as fuel. They find that two pounds of
wood ordinarily give as much heat as
one pound of coal. Certain kinds of
maple, ash elm, locust, longleaf pine,
and cherry, have fairly high heat value;
a single cord of any one of these woods
is equal to a ton of good coal. To
equal the same amount of coal, it tax es
a cord and half of short leaf pine,
sycamore, red-gum, Douglas fir, and
soft maple, and two cords of cedar,
redwood, poplar catalpa, Norway pine,
cypress, Eastwood, spruce, and white
pine. But heat value is not the only
element of usefulness in wood used as a
fuel. Since ninety-fve per cent of all
wood that is burned is consumed for
domestic purposes, largely in farm
houses, such qualities as rapidity of
burning and ease of lighting are i'm
portant. Each part of the co.. ntry has
its favorite woods, in general wisely
chosen. OF the non-resinous woods,
hickory has the highest value as fuel,
and it has no other qualities to recon-
mend it. 1t burns evenly, and holds the
heat. The oak comes next, followed
by beech, birch and maple. Pine has
a relative low heat value, but ignites
readily, and gives out a quick, hot
flame, although one that soon dies
down Its quick flame makes it ia
vorite with rural housekeepers as
summer wood. The principal disad-
vantage of the resinous pines is their
oily, black smoke. - Youths Com

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look youngi Nobody can tell if you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make 1T
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for *Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large bot,
tie of this famous old recipe for about
so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkencd your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or 500
brush with it and draw this through vo1'a
hair, taking one small strand at q time :.
BY morning the gray hair disappears. ~and
after another application or tso, yolil
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.

We have many blessings in this

this time is peace. Do we appreciate
it? Most of us do, but as is invar-
iably the case there are some excep-
lions.
The worst trouble with business
conditions at this time is the general
distrust. The country is filled with
a nameless fear. Somebody says
the times are not good. Somebody
else is impressed and passes the re-
mark along and there follows sort
Of panic, for which there is little real
excuse. Ingratitude is one of hui
manity's ancient shortcomings. Pess-
imism is another. The man who does
not appreciate the prosperity we are
enjoying is ungrateful and the con-
firmed pessimist is hopeless sort Of
individual, whom it doesn't pay to

ingly making the best of things as
they are, is our most admirable pa
triot today.

SHADE FOR THE HOGS.
Animals Thrive Better When Protected
81 From Hot Summer Sun.

Animals Thrive Better When Protected
From Hot Summer Sun.
There are some who 8 argue that
where domestic animals become accus-
toned to running in pastures without
shade they: get along and do just as
well as where shade is provided, says
the Kansas Farmer. Those who OBJ
serve the comfort and contentment
that animals display when they can
get into shady spot on hot summer
day find it hard to reconcile them
selves to this theory. The hog suffers
greatly from heat, and even though no
losses may occur in the pasture unpro-
vided with. shade the animals certain
~ would thrive and do better if pro
v1ded with this means Of comfort r
The most suitable location for shade
In a hog pasture is on some high point
where the wind can have clean sweep.
Both hogs and cattle will seek such
spots in pastures during the heat of the
day. Artificial shade can be very east
~ and cheaply provided where there is
no natural shade. A low shed with no
sides, made Of cheap boards, is all that
Is required. If this is suitably located
the hogs will most surely take adva1i-
tage Of it. If the pasture is very large
several cheap shades of this kind
should be provided, so that the hogs
from all over the pasture will not have
to gather at a single shed.
On some farms the hog house pri-
marily built for narrowing purposes is
SO located that the wind can circulate
freely provided the doors are all left
open. We have visited such houses
where the main or central alley was
open to the hogs. A house so located
is very cool place on a hot day, and
the hogs from the pasture will take
advantage of it If given chance.

BEST LAYING BREEDS.

Egg Production Depends on the Strain
Rather Than Variety Of Fowl.
"Raise White Leghorns for eggs and
you can't go wrong" is the substance
Of common poultry advice given the
beginner. Such speech is responsible
for many poultry failure.
The White Leghorn breed is good
one. Let's not forget that. The aver
age White Leghorn hen does we'll, but
just because hen is White Leghorn
is not a sign that she will be. good
layer.
Take the records for any month in
any egg laying contest and you will
find poor Leghorns even among the spe-
cially selected competing pens. Last
August, for example, the best pen Of
the hens in the White Leghorn con-
test at Mountain Grove, Mo-, averaged
21.4 eggs per hen, while the poorest
pen laid 9.6 eggs per hen, less than
half as many.
Some Of the Leghorn pens were en-
tirely outclassed by average pens Of
Buff Wyandottes, Black Orpingtons,
Black Langshans, Anconas, Minorcas
and other breeds that are not often
considered in the same class with the
White Leghorns as layers.
This is a fair example Of the many
cases where certain strains of the DIFF
ferent breeds have qualities superior
or inferior to the average for the
breed.
A strain is simply a line of descent
that has specially developed charac-
teristics, such as the ability to lay eggs
abundantly. Good care and feeding
are taken for granted.-Farm and
