SUMMER DISEASE Of CATTLE
"Pinkeye" Is Especially Troublesome
During Hot NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Results in Blindness.

"Pinkeye" of cattle is a common
disease, especially during summer
months, and sometimes results in total
blindness. It is undoubtedly infec-
tious, and is believed to spread from
one animal to another through the
medium of flies. The disease runs its
course in ten days or two weeks, at
fecting one or both eyes.
A profuse flowing Of tears is the
first evidence of the attack. The ami
NAL keeps the eye constantly closed,
for it is very sensitive to light. Grad
ually a film seems to form over the
eve and the ball becomes clouded.
Care at this time is very necessary
and may save the animal from blind
ness. Confinement in a comfortable
stall with all light excluded is the
best. Laxative food will put the ami
NAL in good condition to ward OF
complications. If flies are allowed to
irritate the sore eyes they will prob
ably spread the infection to other ami
mails.
Bathing the eyes in a strong solu-
ton Of boric acid is treatment cas-
lily applied and generally effective. A
better method is to place q few drops
of the following mixture in the eyes
with a dropper: One-half grain Of
zinc sulphate, ten grams of boric acid
and one ounce of distilled water.

SeagQing Moving Machine.

, California now has a seagoing now
ing machine. 1t is in use off the coast
as a part of the government expert
ments to obtain potash from kelp. The
curious craft has blades at the bow
that cut the kelp from three to six feet
below the surface of the water. A
belt brings the severed kelp aboard,
where other knives cut it up and other
belts distribute it in the hold. The
vessel harvests about two hundred
tons a day, which when dried is re-
duced to 20 tons; that, in turn, yields
about five tons of potash. The rise in
the price of potash from $40 ton to
ten or more times that sum gives a
new value to kelp, which grows in Vir-
tually unlimited quantities along our
shores. Farmers have long used the
kelp itself as a fertilizer.-Youth's

slippers and pink roses, looked very
alluring. He has taken her home from
dances, perhaps a half-dozen times and
at the end of that time proposed mar
rage. Neither had peeped beyond the
first chapter of the book of life. Their
entire conversation had been about
other girls and boys-what jolly good
time they had had at the skating rink
or barn dance. Yet these two killings
considered themselves in love and had
the notion that they ought to wed.
The boys father does his best to
have a serious talk with his son, en-
deavoring to make him understand
that married life is something more
than continuous love-making; that 1t
entails obligations, such as winning
the support of two, to start with; that
a pretty sweetheart transferred to the
kitchenette is not always the amiaDle
companion a youth fondly believes
she would be.
The girls parents do their best to
make her understand that a young man
should have at least start In life De-
fore he essays matrimony; that all
love-making, no work, would put out
the kitchen fire. If, despite earnest
parental advice on both sides, the
young people take their own heads
and marry, they have only themselves
to blame for much of the tribulations
that may follow. Parents on both
sides should be eager for the match,
then it will turn out happily.

Serenity in Thick of BrolI.

The environment of the commander
In chief, Sir Douglas Haig, is strongly
suggestive of his conduct of the war.
Before war became a thing Of precise
science the headquarters of an army
head seethed with all the picturesque
details so common to pictures of mar
tial life. Couriers mounted on foam
fecked horses dashed to and fro; the
air was vibrant with action; the fate
of battle showed on the face of the
humblest orderly. But today things
are totally different. Although army
units have risen from thousands to mill
lions of men, and fields of operations
stretch from sea to sea, and more am
munition is expended in a single en-
igagement than was employed in entire
wars of other days, absolute serenity
prevails. 1t is only when your magma
ition conjures up the picture of fame
and fury that lies beyond the horizon
line that you get thrill.-lsaac =.

Everything in Russia Is
New Since the Revolution;
Even Smile Is Different

Everything is new in Russia. AS
one correspondent sees it, and Petro-
grad in particular, he declares that
even the smile is different. 1t is with
out sickness or hypocrisy. The ladies
are wearing revolution-color skirts,
red feathers in their hats.
The Nevsky prospect has become a
kind of QUARTER Latin. Book hawkers
line the pavement and cry sensational
pamphlets about Rasputin and Mich
olas, and who is Lenine, and how
much land will the peasants get. Re-
turned exiles fit through the crowd,
recognizable by the Rue Bertolet cut
of their clothes and their hair.
Even that ancient Institution, the
five-oclock procession Of Chinovniks
going home from government offices,
has lost it's typical coloring. One
misses at first the staid, familiar fig
ures, till one suddenly realizes that
those rather long-haired young men,
swinging or slithering along with port
folios under their arms, must, OF
lcourse, be the new Chinovniks.
Newsboys used to carry papers in q
bag. Now there are so many papers
and such a demand for them that the
hawkers have had to improvise stalls
at the street corners, and one may
pause there and watch the play of 20
litical sympathies and antipathies as
the hard-faced young workman buys
the Maximalist Pravda, or the dreamy
student buys the Radical Den, or some
stout elderly gentleman buys the
Novoe Vremya with melancholy, air
of resignation.
