Defense Made Necessary.

1.-THE entire nation is cogniZant Of the
attitude which this government adopted
when Germany announced to all neu-
trails the establishment of a submarine
blockade, restricting as 1t did the free
dom Of the seas and extending without
distinction to countries not engaged in
the conflict the most violent process Of
warfare. The Brazilian government
then formulated a protest and after the
sinking of the steamship Parana, broke
off diplomatic relations with Germany.
To-day the sinking Of a second steam
ship without warning and the menace Of
decreasing constantly our shipping and
foreign commerce obliges the govern
ment to put into practice measures of
defense to be suggested by the hign
advisors Of the national congress.

RAT MANKIND'S GREAT ENEMY
Rodents determination Would Be Of
Inestimable Benefit to the Whole
Human Race.

The bubonic plague Of today is iden-
die ages. Primarily a disease CT ro-
dents. caused by a short %dumb-bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus. it occurs in man in three
forms, the pneumonia, which has a
death rate of almost 100 per cent the
s~epticaemic, which Is nearly as fatal,
and the bubcnic, In which even with
the most modern methods Of treatment
the mortality is about so per cent. 1t
is a disease of commerce, spreading
ship-borne rat. 1t is estimated that
every case Of human plague costs the
municipality in which 1t occurs at
least $3.50. This lOes not take into
account the enormous loss due to dis
astrcus q~uaraEtines and the CONNER
cial paralysis which the fear of the
disease SO frequently produces.
The disease is now treated with a
cru discovered through the genius
OF Iersin. This is used in much the
dIIi way as IL ull'IiliaSAlu al
Plague is transferred from the sick
rodent to the we'll man by fleas. The
sick rat has enormous numbers Of
plague bacilli in its blood. The blood
is taken by the flea, which, leaving the
sick rat, seeks refuge and Su%stenance
on the body of a human being, to
uhon it transfers the infection.
Since plague is a disease Of rodents
and since it is carried from sick rO-
dents to Wei men by rodent fleas, safe
~ from the disease lies in the exclu-
sion Of rodents, not only exclusion
from the habitation of man but alsl
from the ports and cities Of the world,
Those who dwell in rat-proof surround

SiIo Of Treated Wood.

Ing are not sufficient. BY far the best
method is to have the slaves treated
with the ~preservative in Il closed re-
tort under pressure. and when so treat
ed they should last Indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase of treated silos should investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
if greatest permanence is desired.
should choose only material that has
received a thorough pressure treat
ment. Silos built Of such material
have the additional advantage of re-
duction In the swelling and shrinking

kept tight more easily. Another adj
vantage Of silos built Of well-treated
wood is that they need not be painted.

PUREBRED MALES ARE IDEAL
Boar Of Highest Quality-Be Care
fut OF His Disposition.

Since purebred males are plentiful
and reasonable in price. there is no
excuse for using anything but q pure
bred boar. The purebred male will
transmit his own qualities with greater
certainty than one that is not pure,
and will get pigs of more uniform
quality and excellence; SO that 1t pays
to use q purebred boar even for pro-
ducing meat on the farm or for mar
ket.
Before buying 1t is necessary to have
in mind the ideal type of boar wanted !;
then it is well to buy the nearest
thing to the ideal, or the best that
can be afforded. One should never
let a few extra dollars on the price
stand in the way when a good boar is
found. The fact that a boar should
come from a strain which produces
large numbers Of pigs should not be
overlooked.
If an aged boar is to be selected.
the disposition should be noticed, and
one that is vicious or tries to break
GU Of lots and pens should be avoided.

FOWLS IN VIGOROUS HEALTH
Bright Red Comb, Clear Eyes and Ap
pearance of Aiertness Are to Be
Sought For.

Tie --ccessful experienced poultry
man only needs one glance at your
pen Of chickens to enable him to make
q good estimate as to the health ON
dition of your flock.
A bright red comb. clear eyes and
an appearance Of alertness, is seldom
seen except when a chicken is enjoy
ing the best of health. Occasionally
1t is true that hens which are overfat
and In danger Of apoplexy may carry
with them good health certificates
which are not deserved.
When the comb turns from its nat
ural bright red color to purple, or an
even darker shade, the caretaker may
expect ptomaine poisoning or other
form Of poisoning, indigestion or liver
trouble, and If the comb assumes q
light color, except when the bird Is
melting, the poultry man should ex-
pect bowel trouble or tuberculosis.
One Of the first things the beginner
should study is the appearance Of
health or disease as indicated by the
appearance of the comb, eyes, car
riage and attitude of his birds when
in vigorous health, and when out OF
condition.

What Is Uric oAcid?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Elk
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
Of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only q
matter Of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Anuric,
three times a day. Anuric is a recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is a more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of the system.

FEEDING TRIAL At MICHIGAN
rior to Dat Straw for Fatteninp
lambs-Adds to Profits.

In a feeding trial at the Michigan
now of the illinois station, found
field-bean straw superior to oat
straw for ~fattening lambs. One may
judge from this hal such straw,
therefore, has considerable feeding
value for sheep 1t least, and it is
likely to have equal feeding value for
cattle and horses and to be 10 special
source of danger to either. In our
own experience, we have often
thrown small quantities Of bean
straw out In the cattle yard, SO the
cattle could eat it if desired. What
little there was of it they appeared to
eat with relish no doubt because it
came rs a change from their usual
forage. It Is not likely, however,
that any kind Of farm stock will eat
it in large quantities because Of Its
coarse nature. Also there will no
doubt be a large percentage Of waste
left by the animals because Of the
woody character Of the main stems
OF the bushes. 1t Is in keeping with
good economical practice, however,
to allow the stock to eat such OF this
straw as 1t may desire. 1t Is by
utilizing the understandable products
OF the farm in this way, and converting
them into meat Or other merchantable
products that the farmer adds to his
profits.
