ANY OLD cANEs7

The American Girls Aid society,
which has devoted itself to the collec-
ton Of clothing and other materials
for French victims of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavor to
collect canes to be used by the manned
and crippled soldiers. There Is big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands Of canes In the United states
which are not in use. II the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters Of the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue, New
York city, they will be appreciated.
It is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes and
can develop artistic ability In making
up this material in serviceable form.

MILLIONS LOST BY DISEASE
Annual Loss Caused by Contagious
Abortion Places Heavy Tax on
6reeders-No Cure Known.

Twenty million dollars, and good
deal more, Is the annual loss caused
by contagious abortion of cows. The
loss several years ago was placed at
$2O,OOO,OOO. and since then the disease
has spread widely. Consequently 1t Is
safe to say that the loss now is great
deal larger. 1t Is, in fact, heavy
annual tax on the cattle man.
Contagious abortion Is germ dis
ease. No reliable cure Is known. The
problem is, therefore, largely one Of
prevention, says Farmers Bulletin
100. issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Prevention and control, however,
are not a lazy mans job. Eternal Wig
ilance Is the price of success.
Suggestions may be found in the
bulletin referred to, which may be OBJ

ATTENTION TO YOUNG LAMBS
They May ee Expected to Grow Rap
idly II Properly Cared For
Good Pasture Needed.

Lambs require considerable atten-
ton when very young, yet they may be
expected to grow rapidly II they are
properly cared for.
They need a good pasture where
there Is green food, shade and water.
And when penned at night with the
ewes they should have dry. cool, sani-
tary quarters where the danger OF
parasites Is reduced to minimum.
When a few sheep are cared for
properly one may expect a herd In =
short time.
