PLENTY OF WATER

Il is almost to the axiom or pro-
verb stage, that the big summer irri-
cation water comes from the snow
that falls in the Sawtooth mountains
prior to the first of the year. What
falls later of course will have its
value-but it is usually lighter and
goes off readily, so that it does not
hold the streams up well into the
summer-it is the old drifts that
make the long water season.
The snowfall up in the mountains
so far this year, has been eminently
satisfactory 1t has not been excep-
tional, perhaps, but it promises
fine irrigation season for 1916. 1t is
much better than it was at the same
time last year, which was the short
est snow season ever recorded in
Idaho. This shortage was general all
through the west; in many places,
the farm and farmers suffered for wa
ter-which was not the case here.
The coming year is SO extremely
promising that the only regret Is that
there has not been the capital avail
able to put all the Idaho Irrigation
project land into cultivation; though
a considerable increase in acreage is
expected.

Much may be done to lessen this
danger by using plenty of bedding,
feeding moistened feeds and a thor
ough wiping of the udder and flank
of the COW with damp cloth. A
covered pail is also of considerable
assistance.
Stable dust can be settled by
sprinKiing the stable floor a short
time before the cows are MIXED.
Bacteria stick to wet surfaces, but as
they are free to float in the air again
as soon as the surfaces have become
dry, the floor should be kept moist
until after the period of milking.
If all the dairy COWS were sub
jected to the tuberculin test, the pre-
cautions mentioned above would not
be so important for the tubercular
COW could be identified and removed
yet there are other bacteria in the
stable dust and manure which are in
furious to the human system. Milk
secured from COWS free from tuber-
culosis with clean moist TANKS and
udders, MIXED with clean hands into
sterile covered pals in dust free sta
bles and kept cold is a safe and
food. w r. Wright

ONE OF OUR MANY GOOD ROADS

on to do its part OF telling the good
points of this section of Idaho. Not
everybody agreed with the Recorder
in it's political, its religious, its per-
sonal conclusions; but the commun-
ity support has been of such unusual
nature that the Recorder would be
an migrate if it did not say publicly
how this support is appreciated, and
how much it is responsible for. the
optimistic attitude through all these
years.
We've appreciated your patronage:
not that it has enabled us to lay up
diamonds or gold pieces by the quart
or stocks and bonds and railroads.
But it is the community's THANK
you'll" for the efforts of the publish
ers and "Thank you" pays many
bill, when it is as sincere as the peo-
pie Of Richfield have made it. Here's
hoping for future as bright as the
past has been helpful and friendly!

corded in which outbreaks have oc-
Cured in pastures after a lapse of II
years.
In view of this fact, the only prac-
ticable method of controlling the dis
ease appears to be through the gem
eral use of the preventive vaccine.
This measure serves double pur-
pose. 1t not only protects the inocu-
lated animal, but prevents this ami

The vaccine which is now being
distributed free by the Department
of Agriculture is accompanied by
directions which should enable the
stockman to administer it without
difficulty Where veterinarians are
available it may be, advisable for the
farmers to engage one to prepare and
inject the vaccine, but this is not
regarded as essential There are,
however, number of important
points on which there appears to be
some misunderstanding. Attention
is, therefore, called in the circular to

BLACKLEG VACCINE


The use of blackleg vaccine as a
preventive measure has resulted, &C
cording to recent publication of the
department on this subject, in reduc-
ing the loss from blackleg to less
than one-half of l per cent. Where
this disease is allowed to prevail the
losses to cattle from it frequently ex-
coed those from all other causes COM
bined, and in certain badly infected
regions have amounted to more than
10 per cent of the annual calf crop.
In the IS years in which the vaccine
has been distributed, nearly $4,000
600 doses have been sent out, and It
is estimated that at least 20,000,0o0
animals have been vaccinated.

HAS MADE GOOD

According to the best information
available, there is no other town In
the northwest as small as Richfield
that has had a newspaper published
steadily therein for as long time as
the Recorder has been published In
Richfield Indeed, it is questionable
whether there is any other where
bona fide newspaper has lived for
even a single year, in so small
town.
That's saying a lot for two factors
for the publisher, and for the peo-
pie. In the almost seven years since
the Recorder cast its lot here in this
community, it has never let out
single yelp, yell, boiler, groan or
protest of any sort, about the lack OF
local support That's some record
for both sides of the partnership
The Recorder may have been
pinched nancially-indeed, it has
been all but crushed under the steam
roller of finance; but it wasn't the
fault of the local people. 1t has put
in a better plant than one will find
in most towns of five times the size
of this, in the East; 1t has maintain
ed a cheerful optimism for the ,peo-
pie, the community, that has been,
the amaze of the press of the state.
When the editor went to the East
ern Idaho Press Club, and in the
course of brief address told the size
and population of his town, the hear
ers got up to-thrOw bricks at him.
Here, "/they said, What's all this
stun you've been telling us about
your town and what 1t has done and
is going to DOR "You can't do that
with THAT population" They had
to be assured that the Recorder was
satisfied with its location, with the
patronage and respect of Its people,
and that all these results could be
had where the press and the people
worked together. 1t was news to
most of those veteran publishers
they didn't know that such things
could be!

time The local patronage has been |

of cattle owners have attempted t.
modify or have otherwise deviateC
from the printed directions, losses
have occurred which might have
been easily avoided. 1t is, therefore
urgently recommended that direc.
tions be followed implicitly, and es-
pecially that castrating, spaying, and
dehorning be not done at the time OF
vaccination.
2. Vaccine which for any reason is
not used should be returned to the
Bureau of Aanimal Industry, Wash
ington, D. c., Immediately.
3. All vaccine should be used with
in three months from the date on the
back of each package. After this
period has elapsed the vaccine may
be used to advantage, in cases of
emergency, as first vaccine, but to
insure immunity it is advisable to
revaccinate with fresh vaccine in the
course of two weeks
4. The only vaccine distributed by
this department is a single-powdered
vaccine for the prevention of black
leg, and it may be injected at any
season of the year.
5. Blackleg vaccine is distributed
free of charge to stock owners of the
United States.
6. Neither vaccine nor application
blanks will be furnished to any per-
son for distribution among others;
each stock owner must apply in his
own behalf
z. The immunizing properties of
the vaccine are not usually impaired
until 1 or II days following the vac
cination.
8. Deaths of animals within one or
two days after vaccination should not
be attributed to the vaccine, but to
the fact that they were already in
fected with the disease before vacci-
nation.
8. 1t is not advisable to vaccinate
an animal after the symptoms of
blackleg have developed, as the vac
cine is a preventive and not a cura-
tive agent.
10. Vaccination is generally fol-
lowed by insignificant symptoms. In
some cases there is slight rise in
and minute swelling
may sometimes be noted at the point
of injection.
IL. Calves vaccinated before they |
are 6 months old lose the artificial |
immunity produced, and should be |

Blackleg, or as it is sometimes
called, black quarter, occurs practi-
cally everywhere in the United States
with the exception of southern Allan
tic and eastern Gulf States The
greatest losses, however, take place
on the large ranges of the West and
Southwest. Young animals between
the ages of and Is months are the
most susceptible to the disease, al
though some are attacked at an ear
lier age After they are years old,
it is unusual for cattle in this coun-
try to contract the disease, and some
authorities state that after years

II. The only satisfactory method
of administering the vaccine distrib-
uted by the department is by the use
of hypodermic syringe. The method
or soaking a cord in the vaccine So
luton and inserting a portion of the
cord under the skin can not be re-
commended.
IS. Anthrax is an entirely differ
ent disease from blackleg, and there
fore blackleg vaccine does not act
as preventive against anthrax. An
thrax vaccine is not distributed by
the department.
The symptoms of blackleg are
easily recognized The disease us
ually enters the body of the animal
through some minute puncture caus-
ed by a thorn, spine, grass burs, or
similar objects. The infection is fol
lowed by the development of a tum-
or or swelling under the skin. This
is frequently seen on the thigh or
shoulder, the swollen tissues becom-
ing badly discolored-a fact which is
responsible for the popular names of
blackleg or black quarter. These
tumors increase rapidly in size and
may cover a large portion of the
body. They are cool to the touch
and covered with dry parchmentlike
skin. When struck, the gas that has
accumulated in them causes a clear,
resonant sound.
AS the swelling increases, fever
and loss of appetite occur and the
animal ceases to ruminate. 1t moves

quently, and when water is near at
hand drinks at short intervals, but
only little at time. With very
few exceptions the disease is fatal,
death generally occurring from II to
SO hours after the first symptoms.
Occasionally, however, animals have
been known to recover.
The possibility of recovery has led
to attempts at treatment which, how
ever, are not to be recommended.
These usually consist in profuse
bleeding and violent exercise, the
stricken animal being dragged
around by a rope attached to a sad
die horse for a number of miles. |
Even if the victim survives such |
drastic measures, the treatment re-
suits in the spreading of trail of in
fected blood over a considerable area |
and will probably be responsible ulti-
mately for the spread of the infec-
ton to other animals. 1t is, more
over, most uncertain whether any ap
preciable number of cases can be |
saved in this way 1t is both wiser
and more humane to kill the infected
animal as soon as the disease has
been positively diagnosed and to de-
stroy the carcass at once.
Wherever possible it is better to
burn than to bury the dead cattle. 1t
has been demonstrated that within
the ground the spores of the black
leg virus retain their disease-produc-
ing property for years. No matter
how deeply they are buried it is al
ways possible that they may be
brought to the surface by number
Of agencies, among others, earth
worms. Heat, on the other hand,
quickly destroys the virus. The fresh
virus is also more easily destroyed

ite action is desirable
