WELFARE OF PRISONERS
IN DETENTION CAMPS UN-
DER CONSIDERATION

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 30
A movement has been started in Ge-
neva to make more adequate pro-
visirr for the welfare of prisoners in
detention camps of the various bel
ligercnt countries. The present win
ter IS bringing with it increased suf-
fering and hardship to countless
thousands of men, and these it is
proposed to endeavor to alleviate. 1t
is a well-known fact that there were
insufficient preparations in the be-
ginning for dealing with such large
numbers of intcrned men. both sol
dicrs and civilians. as rapidly became
necessary to care for, and as re
suit living conditions in many de
tent'on camps today entail suffering
and sickness to a degree realized
only by actual observers
The International Red Cross Com
mittco of Geneva is behind this
movement. and headquarters for the
conduct of the work have been es-
tablishcd at La Petite Picrriere,
thambesy, near Geneva The main
object is to succor suffering prison
ers Of war. 1t is believed that the
tary camp of special delegates be-
longing to neutral countries would
be OF great assistance in bringing
about an Improvement of existing
conditions. without in any way in
terfering with the necessary local
organization and discipline These
from the professions. such as doc
tors lawyers, etc They are to make
themselves useful in many ways at
the camps where they are to have
the privilege of free access and so
journIne for specified length of
time
II is felt by the promoters Of this
idea that, insomuch as each belliger-
cnt country has an equal interest in
and maintaining wise
and Just method of meeting deten-
tion camp requirements, and at the
same time to MITIGATE suffering of
the captives and the anxieties of
their relatives. that the governments
concerned will meet with them on

Preventing Premature BuriaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, in a given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; it shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once. ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

One Of the greatest mistakes that

work in the dairy.
Some of the very best bulls are dis
carded when two or three years Old
This is due, in many instances, to
farmers being afraid to handle them
after they have reached that age.
Dehorning greatly modifies their tenn
per, if it does not completely remove
ALL their vicious tendencies.
Horns on a bull are a constant
menace and should be removed, then
he need not be sacrificed before his
breeding value becomes known.
We must depend upon inbred bulls
if we are to secure the transmission

ing the sire back to one of his daugh-
tiers.
In order to secure the best results
the bull and the COW should have the
same general conformation. In no
other way can we secure prepotency
than by inbreeding.
: If we think there is danger of car
rying the inbreeding too far and fresh
blood is desired, it is not necessary
to go outside the family to preserve
the vitality, for the infusion of the
new blood of first or second cousin
may be as fresh and vigor giving as
that of one not related, and there will

MANAGING THE KICKING cow
Animal Can Be Handled Successfully
IF One Of Front Feet Is Tied
Up by Means of Strap.

If a cow kicks during milking it is
said that she can be handled success
fully if she is tied securely and one
of the front feet held up by means
of strap reaching around her body
just back of the shoulder
Slip a common snap on the strap
and let it hang down below her belly.
Buckle the strap closely, then take a
small strap with a ring on it and
buckle around the cows right front
leg just above the hoof. Then draw
her leg up, and snap to the ring. AS
soon as she steadies down she may
be MIXED without the mixer being
in danger of being kicked.
In the course of time the strap
can be dispensed with and the COW,
having been used to being MIXED
without causing trouble, will no long
