that he is light eater. Be as careful
as you will however, you will occa-

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
"Pinkeye" Is Especially Troublesome
During Hot Weather-Sometimes
Results in Blindness.

"Pinkeye" of cattle Is common
disease, especially during summer
months, and sometimes results In total
blindness. 1t 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, af-
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 1t Is very sensitive to light. Grad
ually film seems TO form over the
eye 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 off
complications. If flies are allowed to
irlitate the sore eyes they will prob.
ably spread the infection to other ami
mails.
Bathing the eyes In strong solu-
uon of boric acid is treatment cas-
lily applied and generally effective. A
better method is to place 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.

The Secret of Youth.

After all. the plain truth i that ad-

BILE expectancy with which one awaits

Atlantic. Indeed. l sometimes fear thar
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure is greater treas
ure than the experiencing Of il. If we
are possessed of the affinity. adventure
itself is. nj most. just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life Of
adventure To all who crave ii. What

fore best to skim the milk and churp
the cream. The best way to skim the
milk is by means of a separator. A
farmer who has only two or three
cows, but no separator. may put the
milk into deep, narrow cans (shotgun
cans) and set them in cold water. and
when the cream rises ii can he re-
moved with n shallow spoon. Where
this system is used it usually takes
about II to Is hours for all the cream
to rise. Care should be taken to keep
the milk cold. in order to make the
cream rise rapidly. The old method
of setting the milk in shallow pans
should not be used. as the cream does
not rise so completely as when set in
deep cans in cold water; furthermore.
the quality of the cream is not so good
and there are more vessels Ia wash
