ST. ]. A. SHUT OUT
Could Not Defeat The Referee At
LittletOn Last Saturday,
Played Well.

Eighteen husky warriors, accom-
panied by several loyal co-eds and
a few outsiders, not to forget Mile
Anna Lamontagne, Coach Gould's
ward, enjoyed a fine trip to Littleton
Saturday afternoon. Joseph Fair
banks, James Aldrich and Edward
Cramton furnished transportation for
the players and another Packard in
line made an impressive showing
when the crowd dropped in on the
New Hampshire village. A beauti-
full day and a charming ride went
long way toward compensating st. ].
A. for the defeat administered by
Littleton high school, ably assisted
and abetted by Referee Jackson of
some place in South Carolina.
The referees duties as it is COM
monty understood are to observe
strict neutrality and to give every
body a square deal but the afore-
mentioned Jackson evidently has
never learned these first principles.
The least that can be said of his
work was that it was highly unsat-
isfactory and it seems that the victory
would have rather a better taste had
it been won fairly. His decisions
were not only unfair to the visiting
team but it was a notable fact that
the only profanity or vulgarity of
the entire game eminated from the
chief official whose duty it was to
keep the game clean and free from
this sort of thing.
The game went to Littleton by
score of 27 to 0, and the st. J. A.
contingent were sportsmen enough to
take their defeat in a gentlemanly
manner, although it was patent to
onlookers that they were entitled to
a different score.
The game was called at 4 10. Lit
tleton kicked off, Gallagher recover
ing the ball and carrying it back to
the center of the field. Warden and
Kicker were used for line plunges
and by good work St. J. A. rushed
it down to Littleton's 20 yard line.
There they were held on downs and
Littleton took their first turn at Of
fensive play. Several line rushes and
two good runs by Holly took the ball

THREE MORE CASES
Infantile Paralysis Continues To Ap-
pear In St. JOhnsbury-No Fatal
tiles During Past Week.

Three more cases of infantile par
alysis have been discovered in St.
Johnsbury during the past week but
each one is in light form and no
more fatalities have resulted Two
of the new cases are in one family,
that of Cyril Cardinal on Marion
avenue, WiIfred and Melina, six and
four years old, having the disease.
The other victim is Miss Helen Bur
bank, daughter of Mrs. Edith Bur
bank of Cross street.
Miss Burbank was taken with the
disease while at the home of A. H.
Dinsmore at the federal fish hatch
cry. Her mother was visiting in
Montpelier at the time and Mrs.
Dinsmore took Miss Burbank to see
physician who said it was a case
of grip settling in the back and
limbs. She got enough better so she
went to the Academy one day but
her limbs were so badly para1yzed
she was unable to get up the stairs.
She then went to stay with Miss
Charlotte Bundy over Sunday and
was feeling so miserably a physician
was called. He said he feared it was
infantile paralysis. A council OF
physicians was held and they were
so sure it was infantile paralysis that
the state board of health was notified
and Mrs. Burbank called home. Miss
Burbank was moved to her home
Monday evening and is there with
her mother.
The families where Miss Burbank
visited are staying at home for the
present to see what developments
there are and a close watch is being
kept of the young ladies who visited
Miss Burbank while she was ill. The
case seems very sad as Miss Burbank
was working hard to keep up with
her work in the Academy and is very
popular among the girls of that in
stitution.
A fourth case is at the farm of
Rev. E. P. Lee in Waterford, Mrs.
F. w. Knight having the disease. She
had charge of the boarding house
where the farm help boarded and
has been put in quarantine.
DR.. H. A. Ladd, state inspector of
the board of health, and DR.. Taylor,
who has charge of the research lab
oratory in Burlington were here yes
terday and visited all the different
cases. DR.. Ladd said that st. Johns
bury was the only town in the state
that had had more than one case of
the disease this season.
The research work is being con-
Quoted to discover, if possible the
cause of the disease and any pos
sible means of preventing it. Each
case is visited in order to get all
the information possible about the
disease. 1t has been established that
the disease is communicable by
blood. Whenever the blood of a
monkey affected with the disease has
been injected into a healthy monkey
the disease has developed. They do
not know yet whether or not the dis
ease is communicable by infection or
contact. Just now the authorities
are securing samples of the nasal
discharge of people affected to see if
the disease is communicable by that
means.
While the authorities do not
know that quarantine is necessary
they do not know it is not necessary
and are quarantining the families
now as a matter of precaution.

USING ASPHALT AS
FLOORS FOR SWINE.
No Particular Advantage Over
Concrete Except Material Is
Somewhat More Elastic.

By F. w. IVES, ohis State University
Asphalt would have no advantage
over concrete as . feeding floor for
hogs other than being mere elastic,
1t is doubtful whether this advantage
would be worth the extra expense Of
the asphalt.
Asphalt requires good concrete
foundation to be successful and must
be thoroughly rolled when placed
Usually a base OF four inches is re-
quired, and the asphalt is laid from
two to three inches thick over that.
The base should be of 1888 concrete.
This would make fairly satisfactory
floor in itself.
II asphalt has any germicidal quail
ties, they would be very slight and
would be worth nothing in the course
Of two or three weeks use It would
be sanitary in that 1t might be easily
cleaned. However, the same could be
said of concrete.

astating, had come into the life of
Mary Prescott. The little town knew
only Of its rare outlines. Mr.. and
Mrs. Prescott had come to Wartham
with a little child year old. They
rented e small cottage and lived very
much to themselves Their life seemed
a strange one. The husband would
go away mysteriously and be absent
for as long as a month at q time Dur
ing such periods mother and child
shut themselves up in the lonely home,
seeing as few people as was possible
Neighbors never intruded, but they
could not fail to notice that the lady's
face grew paler and thinner each day,
and her eyes had constant express
sion of fear, suspense or grief, they
could not determine which sentiment
most prevailed.
Then the truth came out, discovered
by a resident of the little town visit
ing the city. James Prescott was q
gambler. He had used up all his own
money and that of his wife at the
card table. For month, surly,
scowling, speaking to no one in the
town, he had been seen about the
house. Then one evening the village
was startled by a new disclosure.
The father, with little Airline by his
side, had been seen to go aboard the
river steamer Puritan. An hour later
Mrs. Prescott came rushing to the
wharf to make inquiries. She was
frantic, half beside herself. Two
hours later this circumstance was OBJ
scured by the message flashed from
a point fifty miles down the river, that
the boiler OF the Puritan had blown
up in midstream and of the one hun.
dred passengers aboard less than
twenty had been rescued. About fifty
bodies were recovered. In the list OF
those not found the names of James
and Airline Prescott were listed.
In the village it was supposed that
casual down-the-river trip. Alas!
poor, bereaved Mary Prescott alone
knew the agitating incidents that led
up to the tragedy that Swallowed her
already dreary life.
She had never loved James Pres
cott It seemed as IL some adverse
mockery of fate had conspired to
make her accept his attentions back
in her home village of Leclaire. Just
before Prescott appeared upon the
scene Mary had received proposal
of marriage from most estimable
young man named Paul Barry. She
had not known her heart at the time,
but later, when the full measure of
her sorrowful miseries overwhelmed
her. she realized that her hesitation,
which had driven him away, had been

Sand TohoQQan.

Tobogganing, in some form, seems
to be dear to the human heart, espe
cially to the heart Of the boy. In the
deserts of the Southwest, where snow
never falls and water is rarity, the
too plentiful sand offers the means OF
satisfying this craving. ! was recent
ly exploring some remarkable sand
dunes on the Colorado desert, to
which the thirteen-year-old son OF my
host had piloted me. While was in

hind me, and In q moment my lively
young friend shot past me with a
shout, threw UP his heels, and plunged
headlong down the steep slope OF a
30-foot dune on the edge of which !
was standing. BY using little arm
motion, he easily slid to the bottom.
When he had rubbed the sand out Of
his hair and nose, he was ready for

great things for the education of their
people and for the development Of Ar

nected with Echmiadzin is one of the
first educational institutions in the Ar

Ami is remarkable ruined Ar
casus battlefields. It's thick, crum-
bling walls and the ragged foundations
of it's ancient buildings, mayhap, have
served, since the outbreak of the great
war, as defenses for the Russian or
Turkish soldiers. Ami is the Ar
nenian Pompeii.
The ruins lie in rolling, parched,
upland country, almost deserted. They
are near the Alexandropol-Eriv rail
way, little more than thirty miles
south of Alexandropol, and some thir
ty-five miles from the Russo-O Ottoman
boundary. There is a steep hill to
the south and east OF the stored cap
ital of the old Armenian kingdom
and through a tortuous gorge beside
the dead city flows the Arpa Chat, a
weird, bright-green river. This is the
site of the last great city of free

During the last few years a great
many corn-belt farmers have estab-
lished herds of breeding COWS to pro-
duce steers for market. Increased
market values have given promise of
profit in this line. The lessened vol
ume and added cost of western sup
plies are less serious than formerly
as handicap upon the development
of farm beef-raising industry.
The same changed economic condi-
lions that are bringing the center of
beef production farther east have equal
force in relation to the production of
mutton and lambs, although the re-
turn to production on farms has been
less general in the case Of sheep than
with beef cattle. Continued good
prices for sheep and difficulties in Sc
curing farm labor, however, have
caused a marked revival of interest
in the marketing of lambs from east
ern farms. 1t is becoming more gen.
orally understood that the marketing
of lambs around S. per head at the
time they are ready to wean is prac-
teal proposition. During nearly all
of a lambs stay upon the farm its
mother harvests all the feed needed
for both, and during the rest of the
year subsists largely upon feed which
she gathers herself and which would
otherwise not be utilized at all.
The Illinois experiment station has
recently published the results of ex-
periments conducted to show the most
economical methods of raising lambs

and maintaining breeding ewes. Six
ty lambs dropped in March, 1915.
when weighed July 16 averaged 67.6
pounds per head. On the basis of cur
rent market values on July 3, this lot
of lambs was worth S3S0.90. These 60
lambs were raised by 4S ewes. The
average cost per eve and her lambs
for feed and pasture from March 81 to
July 16 was $2.52. The same ewes were
fed for the entire period of pregnancy
GAG days. preceding the birth of their
1914 lambs at an average cost of 76
cents per head. This gives the cost
of a eve and her lamb at 1928 for
255 days, during which time the lamb
is made ready for market Tho value
of the ewes fleece would more than

Another interesting and valuable
suggestion from this experiment is
found in the fact that 20 lambs raised
with their mothers upon forage crops
weighed eight pounds per head more
than those raised upon bluegrass pas
ture (grain was fed in each easel
and were sold at a higher price per
pound. bringing $1.55 per head more
than the bluegrass lambs. The diff
ference in cost of raising was slight

DISEASE OF CALVES
DUE TO INFECTION
Diphtheria Is Always Serious
Matter, Especially When A.
fecting Young Animals.

By II. N. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Calf diphtheria is due to a specific
infection. and il always a serious mat
ter, especially when affecting young
animals.
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 discharge of
saliva from the mouth and infamed
patches inside Of the mouth. These
patches gradually develop into ulcers
covered with a dead, granular, or
cheesy mass which does not peel cas-
lily from the raw surface underneath.
There is considerable rise of tempera-
ture and an offensive odor from the
mouth. The trouble may easily ex-
tend to neighboring parts, to the lin
ing membrane of the nose, and then
there appears a yellowish discharge.
In some cases the lining membrane
of the digestive tract is similarly af-
fected and then there is tendency to
diarrhea. Little pigs show similar
symptoms. Very young animals are
most easily and most seriously af-
fected, but cases have been reported
in calves and pigs six to eight months
old, and even occasionally in adult
cattle and adult hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two
per cent creolin in warm water, and
then treated with Lugols solution, APP
piled twice a day to the ulcers. Per-
manganate Of potash may also be
used, two ounces to each gallon of
water; make up fresh each time, as
the mixture cannot be kept from day
to day Either treatment should be
given to valuable animals about twice
a day for from four to six days.
Frequent and thorough disinfection
OF calf pens and calf yards is one of
the first essentials In management.
