LUMPY JAW is NOT.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Is Caused by Fungus
Growing on Some of Grasses,

Actinomycosia, or lumpy jaw, Is a
disease not uncommon with cattle. 1t
Is caused by fungus that grows on
some of the common plants, such as
the grasses, rye. barley and corn.
When the mouth of the animal is in
jured from eating dry, stiff forage, as
Is frequently the case, the fungus
finds an entrance into the tissues and
begins growth. This causes the It's

the bone Is affected the normal bone

of bone takes place around the dis

difficulty in eating. The teeth may
drop out and the jaw become so sore
that the animal cannot rumlnate.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HERR KEEL.
IER.

IN the evening of September -,
" 1916, Herr Keller, chief magistrate
of Lucerne, left his office for his home
In the country, accompanied by his
daughters Salesia and Hildegarde. 1t
was a disgusting night. with every
variety of rain and wind. Their path
followed the course of the tempestuous
Reuss, and was in places dangerous,
but they all knew 1t so well that they
could have followed it blindfold.
Now and then Herr Keller called out
CHEEKY greeting to the girls and they
answered in kind, for they were robust,
happy people. They walked in single
file, Salesia first, the father next, and
Hildegarde last. AS they neared the
end of their journey Hildegarde lost a
shoe in the mud, and was engaged a
minute or two refitting 1t to her foot,
when she hastened after the others.
Eventually the house was reached and
the girls opened the door and looked
around for their father, but he was
not visible. They were astonished.
They were quite sure that he had been
with them a few minutes before. Serv-
ants were summoned, and a party
started out with lanterns to search for
the missing man. Their search was In
vain. On the following day the body of
Keller was found where it had been
washed ashore by the swollen torrent
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-12-01
Tho Following Day the Body Of Herr
Keller Was Found.

The doctor who examined the body
said that the lamented magistrate had
fallen in fit, and probably had rolled
Into the water. AS it was well known
that Keller occasionally had fits, this
seemed conclusive, so he was buried
with appropriate honors, and Salesia
and Hildegarde saw that his grave was
kept green for many summers.
There were people who limited dark
ly that the good man was the victim of
foul play, for he was the active leader
of the Liberal party, and was bitterly
hated by some of the wheelhorses of
the Ultramontane party, but the hints
were not taken seriously by the clti-
zens of Lucerne and the mysterious
death of Herr Keller became winter
tale of the old wives.
In those days that part of Switzer-
land was infested by rowing bands of
vagrants and thieves known as the
heimatlosen. They had no homes, but
slept in barns and stables, without ask
Ing the owners permission, and carried
OF whatever wasn't nailed down. They
we're a great nuisance, but they had
existed 50 long that they were accepted
as an institution, much as the gypsies
are accepted in some other countries.
Their chief was John Wendell, a ras-
cal of great cunning and enterprise. 1t
was morally certain that he was guilty
Of every crime from stealing green
apples to murder, and he had been ar
rested score of times, but he was
such an expert in perjury. and his fol-
lowers were so well drilled, that it was
impossible to convict him.
On May night in 1924 a shop at
Nafels was robbed, and a few days
later young woman of the heImat-
losen, named Klara Wendell, was ar
rested, with some of the stolen goods
In her possession. She was known to
be sister of the elusive John Wendell,
and the magistrate who examined her
thought he saw an opportunity to get
'ome Interesting facts concerning that
Individual. So he questioned her hour

BEST TIME TO CUT
SUDAN GRASS CROP
Best Hay Yield Secured When
Cut lust After Full Bloom
Holds Up Well.

(By J. F. NICHOLSON. Agronomist, Ex-
pertinent Station, University of Ari-
zona.)
Sudan grass yields the best hay when
cut just after full bloom. There are
times when 1t Is advisable to cut the
hay before 1t has reached full bloom,
on account of removing the first cut
ting. so as to get more abundant sec
ond crop. II the season Is short 1t may
be impossible to get two full crops, and
in this case it would be better to cut
the first one premnturely. Sudan grass

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF
PARALYSIS OF PIGS
Germ of Wheat Contains Poison
GUS Substance Which Causes
Serious Trouble.

At the Wisconsin station. In expert

found that the germ OF wheat con-

caused serious trouble when fed In
large amounts. When fed to young
growth; when fed to pregnant cows.
the result was abortion or a very weak
or dead calf, and when fed to pigs, tho
result was partial paralysis. The Wis
