Cornstalk Disease.

The following statement relative to
cornstalk disease is made by DIR. c. {.
Lipp. veterinarian at State college:
"This state has suffered a consider.
able loss of cattle this fall from what
is commonly known as 'cornstalk dis
ease The loss has nearly always
been in cattle that were turned in the
stalk fields. The symptoms OF the dis
ease are rarely observed. 1t being
usual to find one or more animals dead
in the field. These animals were in
apparently perfect health, when seen
by their owner but a short time be
fore.
Some authorities believe that loss
es from cornstalk disease are due 10
the development of a small quantity
OF a very violent poison in the ami
mails stomach and intestines while the
stalks are being digested. Other au.
thorities believe that all s~o-called
cornstalk poisoning Is in reality due
to the bacteria causing hemorrhagic
septicemia. Some Of the losses may
also be due to black leg or anthrax.
both of which are unusually prevalent
in various parts of the state this fall,
and always cause death.
"A microscopic examination OF blood
from the dead animal will often reveal
the presence of the bacteria RESPONSE
BILE for the loss. Should death be due
TO the poison already described. no
bacteria can be found. A chemical
analysis Of the cornstalks is useless
because the poison is not developed
before digestion begins. A chemical
analysis of the. contents Of the diges-
tive tract requires considerable time,
and rarely yields satisfactory results.

County Agent Wanted.

Selby.-A determined effort is being
made to bring a county agent into
Walworth county. Under the Smith
Lever act of congress in 1914 a large
sum of money was appropriated to the
several states for agricultural extern

the first year. This sum increases
each year and will soon be large
enough to maintain county agents in
most of the counties of the state. Thir.
teen counties in South Dakota now
have these agricultural agents.

IN NINETEEN TwENTY-sIx


A poor old man with trembling limbs
And stopped decrepit form
Stood on a weather beaten dock
And faced wintry storm.
He minded not the icy winds
That famed his snow white beard
But holding high q telescope
Straight down the track he peered.
The scene about the place he stood
Was one of desolation
But patiently he took his stand
Such was his occupation.
Off to the right there stood mill,
The roof had blown away;
And where they once had piled the
Now grew crop Of hay.
Grey timber wolves In bowling droves
Were living in the stable,
And wood rats through the plant had
eaten,
All except the cable.
The pond which once had held the logs
And germs Of typhoid fever
Now formed quiet breeding place
M~4K
The boiler room was cold and chill,
The flues we're full of bats;
The office with the windows out
Had been sealed up with Stats.
Long moss upon the planer shed
In great abundance grew,
And from her nest on the old side track
The timid pheasant flew.
Here and there all weather worn
And piled high on the dock
Was what had in the bygone days
Been the ready for shipment stock.
The poor old man with his tottering
frame
Through the tall grass trudged each
day,
And he d take his place with his teles-
cope
And he d only look one way.
He would look way off toward the
snnkist south
And his face was filled with sorrow,
And the only thing that he would say
Was "They promised me some to
morrow.
A stranger passing by one day
Inquired of a native son
- Who is that man that sits over there
With the antique vision gun9'
My friend" " the native answered,
As he wiped away the tears,
f'You shouldn t speak of him that way
For he's been there so years.
Why that man IS story to US here
rs as common as the stars
He's Willamette Valley Lumbermar
And he's looking for $. z. cars

SURPRISED BY SURPRISED LADY.

The many friends of Miss Bertha
Schaefer of Linn county made up their
minds Saturday evening to completely
surprise her as it was her birthday, so
they gathered in goodly array with
many good things to cat and took the
young lady completely by surprise al
her home. After a couple of hours of
fun and merriment Miss Schafer an
nounced that she had something to read
to the crowd, and forthwith proceeded
to read her marriage certificate dated
Dec. 16, 1916, at Hillisboro, Ore, unit
ing her in wedlock to Mr.. Carl John
son. As Mr.. johnson was at the party,
he and his bride were soon the recipi-
ents of many congratulations and the
visitors concluded that they were the
most surprised of all. In fact one eye
witness declares that some of the
young (O ladies were so frustrated
that Mrs. Ben Schaefer had to admin
lister restoratives.
Mrs. Johnston is the youngest daugh-
ter of Carl Schaefer and has been
keeping house for him for nine years,
and Mr.. Johnston has been employed on
the government boat Mathloma for
several years. He has secured the po-
sition of tender of the Yamhill locks
near Lafayette, so he and his bride
will make that their future home after
March 1st
Those attending the surprise party
were: Charles Schaefer and family
Leo Leffler, Mrs. ]. Follis, Roy Follis
Ethel Walker, 0. M. Baker, wife and
daughter Marcelle, Tom Flemming, wife
and son, Joe Schilling, Loyde Chrisman
and wife, Ben Schaefer, wife and son
Cecil, Loyde Harold, Ina Harold, Marie
Henkel and VIM. Cooper.-Stayton

youth and seawater and salad with a
dash of creme de menthe on the side.
1t is always cool and refreshing and
just bit piquant, you know. Surely
the ideal color scheme for springtime
and summer.
Just because We are to have green
clothes doesn t mean that we must have
green judgments and personalities how
evr. Many a bit of Shadowlawn will
no doubt cloak purple past and shroud
a hectic present this summer.
Green straw hats are adorable, es-
pecially when topping Titan tresses
and it is just as easy nowadays to get
the Titan tresses as it is to get the
green straw hats. There are plain green
sailor shapes untrimmed save for a self
toned ribbon band and a cunning poke
shape model of lettuce green is piled
high with tiny apples, grapes, cherries
and blackberries, like veritable fruit
salad. 1t really is q peach.
We are threatened with an epidemic
of pokes this season it seems whether
green or otherwise. One of leaf green
straw has crown of massed violets
with their stems falling fringe-like
over the brim. To go with it is bag
of leaf green satin with its lower part
mass of violets, their stems forming
a fringe across the bottom of the bag
in imitation of the stem fringed cha
peau. Another poke whose crown is Of
inch wide ribbon, lattice laced, has an
accompanying bag of lattice laced inch
ribbons. For every bonnet has its bag
and every bag it's bonnet these 1917
days of compliments and compliments.
Another violet poke dispenses with
the touch of favorite green and brims
its massed violet crown with violet
straw faced in old blue silk. One may
get the necessary dash of verdure with
this all violet hat bv wearing with it a
frock of jade. For truly one Of nature IS
most perfect color combinations is
green and violet and as much as we
like to 60 nature one better in this re-
spect we can't improve upon her.
Green suits, green sweaters, green
parasols, green stockings, green slippers
green blouses, green bankies and green
purses of course filled with green backs
promise indeed verdant spring
Indeed if the mad craze for the wear
ing of the green goes much further we
may next expect to effect our diet. No
doubt green tea will soon take the place
of pink tea and green turtle soup, green
peppers, green peas, green corn and
green gage plums make up our smartest
luncheons and dinner menus regardless
of calories. But anyway may our vir.
tues also bloom and flourish as long
and as ever green as our garments.
