LUMPY Jaw IS NOT
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Is Caused by Fungus
Growing on Some Of Grasses,
Rye, Barley and Corn.

Actinomycosia, or lumpy jaw, Is a
disease not with cattle. 1t
Is caused by a 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
sues to break down and form pus. If
the bone Is affected the normal bone
will be broken down and new growth
of bone takes place around the dis
cased areas. causing an enlargement
or lump, hence the name lumpy jaw.
The disease may affect any tissues, SO
there may not always be an enlarge
ment OF, the jawbones.
A gradual development Of a tumor,
usually on the lower jaw, the side Of
the face or in the throat are charac-
teristic symptoms. This swelling is
not unlike that caused by an injury
except that 1t does not 60 down in a
few days. If the tongue is affected 1t
becomes enlarged and the animal has
difficulty in eating. The teeth may
drop out and the jaw become SO sore
that the animal cannot ruminate.
After q time the tumor will become
soft and break, either on the inside o
outside. This may heal, but will break
out again later.
Lumpy jaw is not contagious, but
affected animals should be separated
from the rest Of the herd SO that the

Protecting Cars Brass Work.

II you contemplate driving a car In
the rain, take a minutes time before
starting, and apply a thin coat of metal
polish over the brass, allowing it to
remain and turn white. This coating
serves to keep the rain from touching
the surface of the brass, and thus pre-
serves the natural color. Then. as the
weather clears. the dry polish can be
rubbed from the surface and the I'm
fishing touches applied in the usual
ann The same routine should be
carried out before washing your car,
as the water soon deadens the brass.

discharges from the tumors may not
contaminate the feed. The use of the
surgeons knife can be used to remove
the affected parts or the animal car
be treated by the iodide of potash
method. This consists of giving n
and one-half drains of iodide of pot
ash twice a day to animals weighing
1000 pounds. This is kept up for ten
days or two weeks and the animal al
lowed to rest for a like period and
then the treatment repeated If neces-
sary. The medicine may be given as a
drench or In the drinking water.
Treatment should be begun as soon
as possible after the character Of the
disease has been determined. Animals
in advanced cases should be killed, as
their recovery is doubtful. Fat cattle
can be sold subject to post-mortem ex-
animation. Milk from dairy cows
with this disease should not be used
until after they have been cured.

FASTER. THAN TRAIN

Experts Believe Run From San Fran.
cisco to New York viii Be Done
Under Five Days.

What Is the best possible time be-
tween coast and coast travelling east
ward or travelling westward? The re-
cent performance Of a drive in placing
a double transcontinental starting at
San Francisco and ending at San Fran
cisco inside Of II days. has brought
about speculation from n end Of
America to the other. The chances
seem good for a record which will
eclipse the best train time from one
coast to the other in either or both
directions.
In other words, 1t Is possible today,
in the opinion Of critics. to take a
bag Of mail from the postmaster at
San Francisco and to start simulta-
neously another bag by regular mail
route for New York, and then have
the auto mail route covered in less
time than the railroads can do now.
adays.
Fred e. Moskovlcs of Indianapolis,
who studied the transcontinental
speed possibilities for the automobile
very carefully, believes firmly that
five days for the journey from one
coast to the other will be lowered.
When Sam Stevens, the Rome, N. Y,
iron millionaire, cut the record Of Z
days II hours and SO minutes to s
days is hours and 80 minutes, only to
have Ralph Milford, Patterson and
Vincent lower this time to s days 8
hours and 81 minutes. Moskovics
promptly said that the run would be
made in under five days.
Some Of the cars which have been
engaged In this transcontinental rec
ord work have been far ahead of q
five-day schedule for part Of the dis
lance, but have been interfered with
by cloudburts or other unfortunate
circumstances which did not enter
into the calculations. 1t would seem
therefore that 1t but remained for one
car to start under proper direction
and proper preparation and with per-
feet conditions to bring the record
down to perhaps four and a half days.
BY taking the best times of the cars
over certain stretches, travelling east
or travelling west, 1t Is shown that the
speed Of four and n half days is not
out Of the question. To do such q
performance there remains to be car
ried out prior to the start n most
elaborate system from n coast to the
other to avoid every possible delay
and also q different arrangement for
driving.

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

At the Wisconsin station, in expert
ments with hogs, cattle and rats, they
found that the germ of wheat con-
tanned a poisonous substance which
caused serious trouble when fed in
large amounts. When fed to young
animals, the result was a stunted
growth; when fed to pregnant cows,
the result was abortion or a very weak
or dead calf, and when fed to pigs, the
result was partial paralysis. The Wis.,
consin investigators believe that the
poisonous substance contained In a
germ of wheat has a special tendency
to affect the nerve tissues.

clear when n considers the fact that
a ton Of milk contains $500 worth Of
plant food, while a ton of alfalfa con.
tains $3.50 worth of plant food.
with this system of farming a large
variety Of crops can be probably
grown and utilized. Such crops as al
falfa and clover for hay, corn sorghum
for silage, and rye as a soiling crop
may be grown. With these crops it Is
possible to practice n rotation in which
a legume Is grown, thus increasing the
supply Of nitrogen in the soil. This
Is important, as the failure to include
a leguminOus crop in the rotation Is
n of the common causes of soil de-
pletion. The. nitrogen content of the
soil Is also increased when alfalfa is
fed and the manure is applied to the
land"

sufficient quantity Of plantfood, points

to the plant. A soil thus lacking In
vegetable matter will not retain water,
but packs, and bakes. Practically all
the manure produced on a dairy farm
may be returned to the soil. This will
add humus, thus making the soil more
productive. It may be probably ap-
piled to alfalfa as a surface dressing
or In the field where silage or soilIng
crops r grown.
Buying concentrated feeding stuffs,
such as bran and oilmeal, Is a COM
mon practice on many dairy farms.
These feeds are rich in fertilizing in
gradients and If the resulting manure
Is applied to the land the fertility may
be increased to a considerable extent.

1t has been said that one way to
Judge the character of a man Is to ex-
anime the house he lives In. Al.
though a liberal discount must be al
lowed in the application of such u
principle, there Is undoubtedly some
truth in the statement. especially when
1t Is applied to q MAJ who lives in a
house built from plans Of his own Sc
lection. The least that may be said
In this respect Is that the foresight of
the mar Is indicated by the manner
In which the house meets the needs
Of his family. Comfort and conve-
nience are the qualities which are
most appreciated. but there are a vast
number Of considerations which af-
feet these qualities and which must
be accounted for In the selection of the
house design.
One of the most common errors
made by the man who is undertaking
the task of selecting a design for his
home is that Of Overestimating the
size Of the house which he requires.
In the first place. the larger the house
the harder 1t Is to make it seem cozy
and hOmelike. The man of moderate
income who must ask his wife to keep
up the house without assistance is not
taking her into very deep considera-
ton If he builds a house which Is a
great deal too large for the needs of
the family. Further, with the same
investment the smaller house may be
fitted up with a number of features
having convenience and comfort as
their direct purpose. the cost of these
features being absorbed In the cost Of

Repairs Won't Stick.

Trouble is often experienced in get
ting the tread to stick On small repairs.
This might be due to any one Of sew
eral reasons, the most common of
which is applying cement over wet
fabric. The moisture In the fabric,
even If very slight, will blow the tread
loose from the fabric. Another COM
mon cause for loose treads is the fail
ure to roughen up the old carcass suf-
iciently. In this case the cement will
not hold properly and after a few
miles Of running the repair will sepa-
rate. 1t is also well to make SURF that
proper pressure Is being applied to the
repair when ii Is curing.

building the bare walls, floors, ceilings
and roof Of the larger house.
There are any number Of ways In
which q small house may be made
homelike. The most important pre-
caution to be observed in the arrange
ment Of the rooms Is that Of providing
space for furniture already in the
possession Of the owner, or about to
be purchased. This applies to the
larger pieces of furniture, such as the
piano or dlvan. Each room should be
given individual features which most
thoroughly fit it to furnish the desired
qualities. In the living room most
people like q fireplace, and built-in
bookcases furnish a very handy and
useful feature. The housewife will nj
doubt appreciate a buffet in the dining
room. A pantry is a great help In
the preparation of meals. A clothes
chute saves steps and keeps soiled
linen out of the way. These and many
other features are easily provided and
the expense of their construction is
more than paid back In the conve-
nience and comfort which they pro-
vide.
The bungalow shown In the illustra-
tion is an excellent type Of home for
the family that takes pride in max
Ing the various rooms Of the house In
which they live as coy and attrac-
i've as possible. OF course, for such
a family the house must, In itself,
have the qualities of cozlness and at
Effectiveness, Or no amount of labor will
seem to produce just the effect that is
desired. The bungalow seems to be
the right type. and this particular de-
sign has many desirable features from
this standpoint.
The outside walls of the bungalow
are plastered In white or some light
shade of gruy. Wood trim Is finished
dark in contrast to the light walls. A
hip roof Ii used with small dormers
having their sides finished with shin
giles. Brick chimneys are used for the
fireplace, furnace and kitchen stove.

full. 1t is built r the front of the

steps along the side of the house make

terror design is simple but very at
tractive.
. with very little effort the rooms of
this bungalow may be made exception
nlly coy and homelike. The living
room and dining Dom are Joined to-
gether with only a colonnade between.
These rooms should be finished in
somewhat the same style, to produce
the best effect. The large fireplace,
with bookcases on each side, may be
made the center of attraction in the
living room. The dining room Is well
arranged, having a buffet built into
the wall opposite the three-window
