STUDYING CATTLE
DISEASE IN WEST
Results of Investigation by
State Veterinarians Will
Be Valuable

Representatives of the Livestock
Sanitary Board of the Department of
Agriculture have returned from Kan
sas City, where they investigated and
studied the cattle disease which was
pronounced as form of stomatitis.
The disease so closely resem bled foot
and mouth disease that the authori-
ties placed quarantine on the dis
tricts and the Livestock Sanitary Board
immediately placed an embargo against
the importation of horses and cloven-
rooted animals from west of the Mis-
souri, river. The disease was deter
mined as peculiar form of stomatitis.
me diseases are strikingly similar in
as far as the mouth LESSONS of cattle
are concerned, but it was found that
no FOOT LESSONS were present in the
cattle or horses, that swine were not
susceptible and that the mouth LESSONS
were not typical of foot and mouth
disease.
Inc disease was pronounced as
contagious form of stomatitis that re-
spends readily to proper treatment.
The study made by the Livestock SAM
tary Board representatives will enable
them to determine with little delay
whether they are dealing with this
peculiar form of stomatitis or actual
foot and mouth disease,
All of the shipments received in
pennsylvania from Kansas City during
the dangerous time have been traced
oy the State authorities and all cattle
were found to have been killed.

SOIL BULLETINS
FOR THE SCHOOLS
Department of Agriculture
Issues Works by Franklin
Menges on Soils

Many school teachers in rural sec
tions have this year started a refer
ence library in their schools and have
applied to the Department of ASricul-
ture for its publications on agricul-
tural subjects as the foundation of this
library.
One of the principal bulletins pub
lished by the Department of Agricul-
ture is the Soils of Pennsylvania" I"
which is invaluable to the progressive
farmer or to anyone in a community
who wishes to study his soil. Bulletin
No. 250 treats with the soils by coun-
ties and townships in the eastern part
OF Pennsylvania. including all counties
east of the Allegheny mountains. Bull
letin No. 257 treats with the soils in
the counties west of the Allegheny
mountains. These bulletins have been
prepared by Professor Franklin
Menges, recognized as one of the best
soil experts in the state
With this bulletin the children of
the schools can study the soils of their
own neighborhood and their adapta-
bility to the crops that are to be grown.
Many schools are sending the bulletins
TO the homes of the pupils for their
parents to study. and in this manner
the rural school teacher is doing a big
work for the advancement of agri-
culture in their respective districts.

Rumanians Are Being
Driven Into Small Square
Walled in on All Sides

Berlin. Dec. 81 (by wireIess) -
The military critic of tie Overseas
News Agency in an article on the
situation on the various fronts, says:
In spite of the rainy weather and
the completely soaked roads in east
ern Wallachia, the Teutonic allies are
making rapid progress. The frag-
ments, of the Rumanian army are be-
ing driven into a square which is
hardly eighty kilometers wide and
bounded by the Danube on the east
by the mountains on the west and the
Sereth river on the north. Through
this fiat district flows the Buzeu river
The chances of success for resistance
in it are exceedingly small as the river
has been crossed on a broad front by
the pursuing troops. The only large
town in this district still in Rumanian
hands is Rimnilk Sarat. The towns of
Braila, Galatz and Fokshani from q
strategic and geographic point of view
belong to the Sereth position.
in Dobrudja the Russians have
been driven by the Bulgarians until
they are south of Babadagh. The front
of the central powers now has been
shortened nine hundred kilometers
(About 500 miles) which is as much
as is considered possible.
I'm the western theater the stua-
ton is unchanged except for local
engagements. The French advance
near Verdun was nothing but politi-
cal demonstration and will be unable
to exercise any influence upon the
general situation. The balance of the
improved for the French by small
local successes. After months of
sanguinary fighting and heavy French
and English losses the front in France
and Belgium is virtually the same as
it was in December, 1915"
