PREVENTION is BEST
REMEDY FOR SCOURS
One Trouble Caused by Navel In
lection at Time of Birth, Other
Is Indigestion.

| The most common trouble in raising
calves by hand on skim milk is scours
There are two entirely distinct trou-
bles both of which have the symptoms
of scours. One is from navel infec-
ton at time of birth and the other is
from indigestion. If "a calf becomes
sick within few days after birth and
dies within day or two the case is
probably navel infection. This trou-
BILE is often called white scours be-
cause the passages from the animals
are generally white.
Indigestion is the cause of common
scours. This generally occurs when
the ca'f is from two weeks to
month old. Prevention is the best rem
edy. The common causes of indiges-
ton are overlooking; feeding milk cold
or sour; feeding sweet milk one meal
and sour milk the next; dirty pals,
troughs or stalls.
Each calf should be watched care
fully. AT the first sign of foul-smell-
ing dung, it's source should be deter
mined, as this is one of the first indi-
cations of Indigestion. The amount
of milk fed should be cut to one-half
the usual amount and a dose of one
ounce of castor Oil in milk, followed
by the formalin treatment, is advis-
able. The formalin treatment consists.
In giving one tablespoonful Of forma-
lin solution, made by adding 0ne-half
ounce of formalin to 1914 ounces Of
water, in each pint of milk. The
amount of milk fed may be gradually
brought back to normal after day or
two.
Many feeders have obtained good
results from the use of blood meal as
a means of correcting a condition of
scours. Where the case is mild tea
spoonful of the dried blood is added to
the milk at each meal.
Preventive measures against scours
recommended by 4. w. Wing of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture are:
Care against overlooking; regularity
of feeding; conditions of the milk at
feeding time; and cleanliness of the
pals, pens and stalls. In other words,
keep the conditions right at all times.

PREPARING BEST EARS FOR STORAGE.

| From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Seed corn may be left on the racks
where the ears have been dried. But
it is generally preferable, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture, to store the ears in mOuse-proof
barrels, boxes or crates during the win
ter. In any case they must not be ex-
posed to dampness or they will absorb
moisture and be injured.
After hanging in the drying shed,
or lying on the racks where there is
constant circulation of dry air for the
first two months after they have been
selected from the stalks in the field,
the seed ears should be bone dry and
contain less than 10 per cent of mois-
ture. Some farmers. place the thor
oughly dry ears in the center of a
wheat bin and then fill the bin with
loose, dry wheat.
Destroy WeeviIs and Moths.
If signs of weevils or grain moths
show, the corn should be inclosed with

RAT-PROOFING CORN
CRIBS AND GRANARIES
Food Conservation Suggestion
Made by University Of Mis-
souri-Rodents Eat Much.

One of the food conservation sug-
gestions made by the University Of
Missouri college Of agriculture is rat
proofing corn cribs and granaries. A
few years ago 1t was estimated that
every rat on the farm cost the farmer
$1.82 a year. With the present high
prices Of feed, seed and grain the cost
will amount to much more than that.

n fair estimate of the rat population
of a farm would be about % to so.
These rats eat chickens, stored grain,
corn, wheat and other small grain, and
some of the food prepared for the TIA
BILE. The grain farmer does not notice
the loss of grain readily since much
| of it is picked up in the fields by mice
and rats. However, some idea of the
loss can usually be gained by examin-
ing the crib in spring when the corn
supply becomes low. On some farms
several bushels of corn will have been
shattered by rats and mice and the
germs of the grain removed. This rep
resents merely the grain which was
partly eaten. 1t does not represent
that which was entirely consumed by
the rodents.
e. w. Lehman of the University of
Missouri college Of agriculture sug-
gests that since farmers are doing
their utmost to produce maximum
crops they should also take necessary
precautions to save the food produced.
One method of conservation is to
eliminate this loss caused by rats and
mice. Concrete may be used to keep
them out Of the basement. Concrete
floors may be built for new corn cribs
and granaries and small mesh wire
netting can be placed in the walls. Old
cribs and granaries, chicken coops and
poultry houses should be made rat
proof.
The loss which is caused by rats and
mice will soon pay for the expense
of excluding them from buildings.
When the sources of food are protect
ed the number of rodents will de-
crease. The Importance Of protect
ing grain and food supplies from them
is emphasized still more by high
prices.

Ford Makes Compensation Ruling.

Because of the action of the Guar
dian Casualty and Guaranty company
of Salt Lake in deciding to withdraw
from the field of compensation insur-
ance, some new problems have arisen
in connection with the administration
of the compensation act in Montana.
Attorney General S. c. Ford has adj
vised the accident board that an EN-
ployer, under Plan Two of the act, is
liable for the payment of compensa-
ton in case the insurance company be-
comes insolvent. He further held that
In case an insurance policy is can
celled by the insurance company, the
employer may become subject imme
diately to the provisions of compensa-
ton Plan One, or compensation Plan
Two.
1.-THE insurance policy being can
celled," says Mr.. Ford "and no longer
in force and effect, such policy being
a vital factor under Plan Two, the en-
pIoyer is no. longer under the act and
should Immediately bring himself
within the act by filing his election
under Plan One or Plan Three and
complying with the several provisions
relating to the plan under the pro-
visions of which he brings himself"

hours. The liquid bisulphid should be
placed in shallow dishes on top of the
box or barrel holding ten bushels or
less. The fumes from the bisulphid
are heavier than air and gradually fall
to the bottom of the receptacle, per-
meating the whole mass. One pound
of the carbon bisulphid is enough for
a room or bin ten feet in each dimen-
sion. After fumigation the ears must
be thoroughly aired, whereupon the
unpleasant odor disappears. Great
care should be used with carbon BIZ

mable as those from gasoline.
To prevent the entrance of weevfls

wilson's declaration IN favor OF war
against Austria is approved by tho
Morning Post, which adds:
1--WE IN this country can only say
that when Amortca goes to war she
goes to war. She has the extraor-
dinary fortune to be led by a. presi-
don't Of intellect, couragc and deter
minatior. President wilson and
Secretary Lansing were moro than
a match for the best diplomacy that
Germany could produce. America
will be more than r match for Ger
many and her allies in the war.
"Amorica Is In n position to carry
her resolve to execution. Alike In
men and resources, skill and deter
,ntnation, America Is superior to
Germany, though she were fighting
America alone. Therefore, so far
as human precision can extend, we
are justified In assuming the even-
tual complete defeat of the enemy.
But that Is to look ahead. It ts
the present business OF tho allies
to do their utmost In tho interval
which must elapse before American
forces are finally effective. 1t is
quito certain that Germany will
utilize every moment.
.It obviously Is her policy to
force a decision In the noxt few
months and the Germans, being
fine soldiers, their lenders being
desperate men, and nothing being
certain In war, they have at least
sporting chance OF success"
