In a number of barns that have

Instead, 1t is best to have them on

SPOILED SlAGE IS
HARMFUL TO STOCK
Poisonous Feed Should Be Hauled
to Some Part of Field Out
of CattIe's Reach.

(By @. LARSON, South Dakota Expert
ment Station.)
The molds and bacteria which cause
silage to decay produce at times poi
sonous by-products. The spoiled silage
should be hauled out to some place in
the field to which the cattle don't have
access. The spoiled silage results
from air entered near the surface,
which is natural, but not over a few
inches should be spoiled. Shortly
after filling the silo this top portion of
the silage becomes very hot, but ex-
IRENE heat is not common to silage a
foot or two below the surface.
The amount of spoiled silage may
be minimized by going into the silo
every day during the first week after
filling and tramping it down thor
oughly. The silage settles during the
first week. If there is no extra
weight on top the silage will become
loose and open, admitting air near the
surface. This year the corn fodder
was more green than usual. It was
immature and contained a large per
cent Of water. If the farmer was not
careful to tramp it down daily after
filling 1t may be seen why there ap-
pears to be more than the usual
amount Of spoiled silage this year.

THE IRON CLAW "A : !
i new PATHE SERIAL
PEARL WHITE, CREIGHTON HALE,
AND SHELDON LEWIS IN CAST
ARTHUR sTRINcER, AUTHOR.
TWELVE TWO-PART EPISODES
Over Six Hundred Newspapers Have
Already Bought the Serial
Rights OF the Story.

Pathe has become known as "the
house of serials" Certainly that en-
terprising organization has more sue
cessful serials to its credit than any
other In the motion picture business,
and it was one of the very first to
make one, 1.-THE Perils of Pauline"
having been begun about two years
ago. The first episode of "The Red
Circle" was released on December
18th. Now comes announcement from
Mr.. Manufactures, Assistant Man
aging Director of Pathe, to the effect
that sometime in February will be
released another serial, 1.-THE Iron
Claw" by Arthur Stringer, the we'll
known novelist, and Geo. B. Seitz.
1t Is Interesting to note that Mr..
Stringer's work was selected on its
merits from q large number OF manu-
scripts submitted by some forty-seven
different authors, among them many
Of national reputation. 1t is a strong
story Of mystery and love with the
hero's identity kept in mystery until
the last moment. Many of the scenes
are laid on an island of the coast Of
South Carolina.
1.-THE Iron Claw" will be In twelve
episodes OF two parts each. It will be
produced by the Feature Film Corpor-
alton. and directed by Edward Jose.
who has achieved fame as a pro-
Queer OF OF Gold Rooster Plays.
The principals of the cast have been
determined by the numerous letters
which have been received by Pathe
from exhibitors and movie fans all
over the country, requesting that Pearl
White, Sheldon Lewis and Creighton
Hale of 1.-THE Exploits of Elaine" fame
be featured in another serial.
Over six hundred newspapers all
over the country have already been
lined up on this serial, among them
the New York World, the Philadelphia
North American, and the Chicago
Herald.
Arthur Stringer will be well remem-
bered as the author of 1.-THE Shadow"
THE Secret Agent" 1.-THE Wire Tap
peri" 1.-THE Gun Runners" 1.-THE Hand
OF Peril" 1.-THE Occasional Offender"
etc. His stories are all characterized
with that vital quality known as
punch" and 1.-THE Iron Claw" dis
plays plenty of that characteristic.
Creighton Hale. who is featured with
Pearl White, acquired great fame
as Jameson" Craig Kennedy's" as
sistant in the elaine" serials. He
possesses a remarkably engaging per-
sonality, and his talent has been recog-
nized by his being given important
parts in a number Of Pathe features.

Stock leather washers, although
made from oil-treated material, IL
stored without protection soon become
dry and hard. The deterioration is
rapid and the usefulness of the wash
ers is greatly lessened.
Those who carry a stock of cup
washers. fiat washers or any form
made from leather will find it to their
advantage and profit to preserve them
from the action of the air One meth
cd is to pack these leather parts in
tin or galvanized iron box and cover
them with melted tallow. 1t has been
found that since these parts are made
from an animal substance, the cover
ing Of grease used should also be Of
an animal origin
On removal from the pack these
washers will be found sufficiently Dill

they are intended.

drinking water where animals can
very well eat them and thus become
infected. The hog is particularly liable
to this disease because of its roofing
habits. The eggs may get into hui
man food, and persons who allow
dogs to lick their hands and face also
run the risk of getting the eggs of the
tapeworm in their systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
so restraining the dog that he cannot
get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. If not cooked and fed, Wis
cera and carcasses should be burned,
buried with lime, or so disposed of as
not to be accessible to dogs. Proper
feeding of the dog is essential and the
owner who does not feed dog prop
erly has no right to keep one.
The parasite which causes gid in
sheep somewhat resembles the hyda-
It'd worm. A dog allowed to eat the
brain Of giddy sheep may swallow
this parasite and later distribute the
eggs of the resulting tapeworm over
the pasture. Sheep while grazing
swallow the eggs with the grass which
they eat. In the case Of sheep dogs
it is important to administer vermi-
fuges often enough to keep them free
of these worms. In the case Of sheep
measles, the bladder worm in the
meat, typical of this disease, Is swal-
lowed by the dog and again the tape
worm eggs are passed by the dog to
grass or water and there are eaten
by sheep.
OF the external parasites which
dogs may carry to animals, fieas and
the various kinds of ticks are both
troublesome and dangerous. The
remedy is clear. The owner must
keep his dog clean, not merely for the
comfort and happiness Of the dog, but
to prevent it from becoming a carrier
Of disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
These reasonable measures, impor-
tant to the stock on the farm, have
direct connection with the health Of

skin diseases break out among the
children, or the worm parasites devel-
op, it is well to determine whether
dirty or uncared-for dog may not be
carrying infection on his skin or hair,
or be conveying disease from carrion
directly to the food and persons of his
friends. Even If no one is infected
with disease, the folly of allowing
dog to remain dirty and have the free

From Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
The dog in the country is a useful
and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he
is properly controlled and cared for,
but when neglected may readily be-
come carrier of disease to stock, in
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gen.
eral rule, have been intended chiefly to
curb the dogs power of doing harm by
attacking, biting, killing or running
sheep or stock The part that he
plays as carrier of diseases to ami
mails only emily has been recog-
nized, accoruIng to the biologists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, who believe that when this is
better understood rural ordinances and
laws which lessen this danger will
gain the support of the community.
OF the diseases carried to stock by
dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts
as mechanical carrier of infection
The dog which runs across an infect
ed farm easily may carry in the dirt
on his feet the virus of this most con-
tagious Of animal diseases to other
farms and thus spread the disease
to the neighboring herds. In infected
localities it is absolutely essential,
therefore, to keep all dogs chained
and never to allow them off the farm
except on leash.
There are, however, many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part In Bulletin
260 of the department, 1.-THE Dog as
a Carrier. of Parasites and Disease" it
is pointed out that rabies, hydatid,
ringworm, favus, double-pored tape
worm, roundworm and tongue worm
are often conveyed to human beings in
this way. It occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fieas and ticks in
transmitting bubonic plague or the
deadly spotted fever.
Hydatid disease Is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain,
lungs and other organs OF q bladder
worm or larval tapeworm. Bladder
worms are often as large as an orange
and may be larger. A dog which Is
allowed to feed on carrion or the raw
viscera of slaughtered animals may eat
all or part of bladder worm contain
ing numerous tapeworm heads. These
tapeworm heads develop into small
segmented tapeworms in the intestines
of the dog. The tapeworms in turn
develop eggs which are passed out in
the excrement Of the dog. They are
spread broadcast on grass and in
