DATA ON BREEDING FOR SEX
Expert of Maine Experiment Station
Gives Result of Investigations
He Has Made.

For ages untold the subject of the
control of sex has been discussed and
studied over, with very little progress
except to discover that many theories
do not work. At that, knowing what
not to expect is a great deal. The
most promising theory now relates
to the influence on sex of the time of
breeding OF that Or. Raymond Pearl
of the Maine experiment station writes
in a private letter which Hoard's
Dairyman quotes:
My own Investigations on the re-
lation of the time of service in the
heat period itself, that is whether
early or late shows that it does have
an effective influence on the control
of sex. We are collecting extensive
statistics on the matter by means of
cooperation with breeders all over
the country and the more data we
get, the more clear does it become
that in this matter time of service

SERIOUS DISEASE OF CALVES
Diphtheria Is Due to Specific Infection
and May Appear in Animals Only
Few Days Old.
By DIR. NJ. H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota

(By DIR. NJ. II. REYNOLDS. Minnesota
Experiment Station.)
Calf diphtheria is due to a specific
infection, and is always a serious mat
ter. The trouble may appear with
calves from three to five days old.
Such calves refuse to drink milk or
suck. They show more or less dis
charge of saliva from the mouth and
infiamed patches inside the mouth.
These patches gradually develop into
ulcers covered with a dead, granular,
or cheesy mass, which does not peel
easily from the raw surface under
meath. There is considerable rise Of
temperature and an offensive odor
from the mouth. The trouble may
easily extend to neighboring parts,
to the lining membrane of the nose,
and then there appears a yellowish
discharge. In some cases the lining
membrane OF. the digestive tract is
similarly affected and then there is
tendency to diGrrhea. Little pigs show
similar symptoms.

ease is prevalent, the virus is, of
course, scattered everywhere. Very
young animals are most easily and
most seriously affected, but cases
have been reported in calves and pigs
six or eight months old, and even &C.
casionally in adult cattle and adult
hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two

then treated with Lugols solution, ap-
piled twice a day to the ulcers. Per-

that is typically Russian With the
growth of its industry and commerce,
it has adopted the modern city habit,
habit which is the same the world
around.
Despite it's obtrusive newness, Kiev
is an ancient city. Its fortunes have
been intimately connected with the
fortunes of Russia. 1t was founded
about the beginning of the seventh
century, and it's authentic history be-
gins with the arrival of the two Scan
dinavian knights, Askold and Dyr, who
left Novogorod to take possession of
it. Kiev early became Christian, and
the Greek faith was carried to the
rest OF the Russians from here. In
the eleventh century there are said to
have been 400 churches within it's
walls. The relations between Byzan-
tium and Kiev were close, and much
of the Greek culture that has mixed
itself with Russian life entered the
empire by way of this city.
Kiev has been badly battered il
more than 1000 years of wars and in
ternal disorders, but it has had a sa--
ing way of quickly covering up as
wounds and beginning afresh with re-
doubled courage. At one time it was
the capital of the Russian state 1t
was subject for more than two gener-
ations to the Mongols, when it fell 20

cipality for 239 years, for 50 years
it was under the sway Of Poland, and
was finally reunited to Russia in 1886

in the Ukraine.
