Cattle Producer In
France Is Obtaining
1 Cent Less a Pound

Paris, May 23-The Agricultural
Society Of France has collected fig
ures showing that the cattle raiser
gets five confines q cent) a pound
less for beef on the hoof than he did
a year ago, Notwithstanding the con-
tinua1 increase in the retail selling
price. The society appropriated
funds to pay the cost of experiments
to discover who gets the difference
between the cost of meat on the hoof
and on the table. A certain number
of beef animals will be followed from
the stock farm to the butcher shop
to determine what are the inevitable
intermediary expenses and a reason
able retail price.
The government and the city OF
Paris will be invited to send delegates
to follow the experiments.

ToDAY,s ANNIVERSARIES,

Geronimo Savanarola, an Italian
monk, was. burned in Florence. His
Influence was so great that for sew
feral years he guided the affairs Of the
state as its sovereign. He attacked
the Church of Rome and Pope Alex
ander ". In 1910 the English wreck
ed on the Island of Bermudas, having
built two small vessels, arrived in
them at the settlement of Jamestown.
They found the Inhabitants reduced
from 500 to SO by famine. Seeing
no other means Of preserving them
than by abandoning the country, they
took them all on board with the in
tention Of returning to England. At
this juncture Lord Delaware arrived
with plenty of provisions and settled
the colony. On this day in the year
ITO Captain Kidd with many others
was executed at Execution Dock,
London for piracy. -

n ElANY days later the French serv-
IMI ant, Peria, rode up to the gate,
III hi to the door, of Locust Hall, the
cJ Lewis homestead in old Vir-
ginia. The news he bore had preceded
him. He met stern faced, dark brow
ed woman, who regarded him coldly
when he announced his name and re-
garded him in silence. The servant
found himself able to make but small
speech.
"Your son was a brave man. He
lived long, said Peria haltingly at the
close of his story.
"Yes," said the mother of Meriweth-
er Lewis. s'He was brave man. He

So Peria passed from sight and view
and almost from memory, not accused,
not acquitted. Long afterward a
brother of Meriwether Lewis met him
and found that he was carrying the
old rifle and the little watch which
every member of the family knew so

DATA ON BREEDING FOR SEX
Expert of Maine Experiment Station
Gives Result Of Investigations
He Has Made.

For ages untold the subject of the
control of sex has been discussed and
studied over. with very little progress
except to discover that many theories
do not work. At that, knowing what
not to expect is great deal. The
most promising theory now relates
to the influence on sex of the time Of
breeding. OF that Or. Raymond Pearl
Of the Maine experiment station writes
in a private letter which Hoards
Dairyman quotes:
MY own investigations on the re-
lation Of the time Of service in the
heat period itself, that is whether
early or late. shows that it does have
an effective influence on the control
Of sex We are collecting extensive
statistics on the matter by means Of
cooperation with breeders all over

get, the more clear does it become
that in this matter, time of service

ease is prevalent, the virus is, of
course, scattered everywhere. Very
young animals are most easily and
most seriously affected, but cases
have been reported in calves and pigs
six or eight months old. and even oc-
casionally in adult cattle and adult
hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two
per cent creolin in warm water, and
then treated with Lugol's solution, ap-
piled twice day to the ulcers. Per-
manganate of potash may also be
used, two ounces to each gallon of
water; make up fresh each time, as
the mixture cannot be kept from day

given to valuable animals about twice
day for from four to six days.

ter. The trouble may appear with
calves from three to five days old.
Such calves refuse to drink milk or
suck. They show more or less dis
charge of saliva from the mouth and
infiamed patches inside the mouth.
These patches gradually develop into
ulcers covered with dead, granular,
or cheesy mass, which does not peel
easily from the raw surface under
meath. There is considerable rise of
temperature and an offensive odor
from the mouth. The trouble may
easily extend to neighboring parts,
to the lining membrane of the nose,
and then there appears yellowish
discharge. In some cases the lining
membrane of the digestive tract is
similarly affected and then there is
tendency to diarrhea. Little pigs show
similar symptoms.
