WATCH PICS FOR

Outbreaks u necrobacillosis. a

commonest expressions Of this all
ment which has many forms. In a
circular recently issued by the bu-
reau OF animal industry OF the
United States department Of agricuI-
ture these two forms. known as ne
crotie rhinitis and necrotic enteritis,
are described and remedial and pre-
yentive measures given.
The form known as necrotic
rhinitis may be recognized, the cir
cular states. by Jumps or swellings
which appear on some part Of the
head or face OF the pig. usually on
the snout. Pigs so affected eat but
little as a rule, and sneeze repeated

parts. carbolic acid one part: or
nitric acid one part and water six
parts, or a so percent solution of

extensive. treatment is OF little value
and the destruction of the animal is
recommended
Pigs affected with the second
form of the disease. necrotic enter

shotes. and older hogs should not be
allowed to feed from the ground.
Suitable feeding floors, preferably of
concrete and troughs Of some non

WHITE INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS

The market is far from being sup
piled, and duck farmers are finding
this a profitable branch of the bust
ness. The heaviest laying ducks nee
essarily are the most profitable, and
duck growers are finding the Indian
Runners, both colOred and white,
very satisfactory for this purpose.
The White Indian Runner duck

sections are competing with hens for

been made by the Indian Runners.

FuH-grown specimens weigh from
four TO four and a half pounds. This

Pekins. but is not too small for
profitable marketing, since the duck

quickly. The old fowls are good for
ayers and the heaviest laying breed

MISSIONS OF THE AIRPLANE
Fighting and Bombing, Using Both

The tendency in airplanes has

Day Illustration.

AS a car turned a corner the pas
sengers could see a horse stretched
on the cobbles in the rigid abandon
ment of death, writes Mamie Ian
caster in the Washington Star.
He was a common brown horse
that had worked out his youth and
strength and life, as those long ago
brown men who dragged the stones
to make Egypt's sphinx worked out
their youth and strength and life,
and then died and were forgotten, as
the horse would be forgotten as soon
as some boss has finished blaming a
driver and sold the carcass to who
ever buys dead horses.
The few passengers in the car con-
tributed an ejaculation or two, and a
man said to the woman with him:
''There's the end of one poor stiff"
He said it with offhand kindliness
and with the finality of one who
knows humiliation when he sees it,
and yet
Balaam's ass earned eternal pas
turage in the Elysian fields-and-
to change from Koran to Bible;
Did not he say that every laborer
is worthy of his hire?
And as the horse on the cobbles
had labored with no return in this
world
Oh, well, what's the use! One
can only ask the same old question
that living humanity has always
asked of the dead:
"Whither goest thou?"
And answer there is none.

FLOODS IN NORTH CHINA.

News from far-off Tientsin is that
the recent floods in north China
have wrought damage of over ST.
OOO,OO0,000. Streams have been
turned into rivers two miles wide
and in some places 100 feet deep,
while densely populated area of
over 10000 square miles has become
an immense lake reaching a depth of
from twenty to thirty feet. These
foundations it is feared will render
Tientsin icebound and uninhabitable
during the winter months, and it is
doubtful whether the authorities
will succeed in draining it off until
the end of 1919.

tians, Slovenians, etc., have never
been Austrians in the true sense
OF the word and they have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
by the thorough beating Of Aus
tria in the war. The spirit is
more or less reflected in the ma
tives of those provinces that are
working on the range. Many of
them have brothers or relatives
in the Austrian army, it is true,
but they are unwilling soldiers
and their real sentiments are with
the allies rather than with the
side on which they fight.
The people Of Bohemia and Mo.
ravia are Czechs and are in the
same position as the Serbs Or
southern Slavs. They are also
maintaining a big propaganda i'll
London and Paris with the idea
of forming Czech kingdom after
the war. They also are repre-
sentcd in the Austrian army and
their regiments also have detach-
ments of Germans whose prin-
cipal duty is to make the Czechs
fight.

Music Of Grasshoppers.

No music is as familiar as that pro-
duced by the locust grasshoppers and
crickets. and. although they are not
produced by the mouth. they answer
as calls, and are undoubtedly a lam
guage to certain extent; and, indeed,
their calls have been reduced to writ
ten music. The music of grasshoppers
is produced in four different ways, ac-
cOrding TO Scudder. First, by rubbing
the pase of one wing upon the other,
using for that purpose veins running
through the middle portion of the
wing; second, by similar method, by
using the veins of the inner part of
the wing; third, by rubbing the inner
part of the wing; third by rubbing
the inner surface of the hind legs
against the outer surface of the wing
covers; and, fourth, by rubbing to-
gether the upper surface of the front
edge of the wings and the under sur
face Of the bind legs.

JAPANESE TRANSLATE BIBLE.

Great interest has been created by
the announcement that the new
japanese translation of the Bible,
which has been in progress for seven
years by committee of eight learned
Christian scholars, representing four
sects of Protestant Christianity, has
been almost finished, and shortly
will be sent to press, says the Kansas
City Star. The translation work,
undertaken by the American Bible
society, was started by a specially
formed committee in May, 1910. The
new translation is said to be written
in more colloquial japanese than the
existing versions.
