ERADICATE ALL OK MARBLES
Hides Are lessened in Value and Milk
Production Decreased by Pres
ence of Grubs..

When you find small Jumps on the
back of an animal with round open
ings in them, squeeze them and the
grub that burrows under the hide will
be found. These are OK MARBLES. Kill
them, for they are one link in the life
cycle of the OK MARBLE fly.
Hides are reduced in value from 1
to 2 cents a pound by the presence of
OK MARBLES. Flesh Is sometimes so
damaged as to be unfit for sale. Milk
production is lessened by the presence
of numerous grubs. Cattle in general
are annoyed seriously by these war
bles. Removing and destroying all the
grubs from infested cattle will reduce
the number of egg-laying females for
next summer.

PLACE FOR NARROWING S0WS
That Animal May Not Be Disturbed
She Should Be Kept Separated
From Other Swine.

The less a SOW is disturbed at far
rowing time the better, and for this
reason she should be kept separate
from the other swine. While some
one should be on hand, unless she
needs assistance, it is best to keep
away from her. If it does become
necessary to help, do it as quietly as
possible. As the pigs are not able
to take much milk, the flow should
not be stimulated for few days. Give
the sow plenty of water, as she is in
feverish condition, but take the chill
off of tiff the day is cold.
1t is not necessary to feed the sow
for a day or two, and the first feed
given should consist of a small

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ARMY :? HERE ARE WAR TERMS TO BE USED

SAN RANCISCOF, Cal, June l. With the United States on the eve of having troops in actual physical con tact in the European battle front, an interpretation of the military terms in general use will be an aid to the general reader. The following are among those in constant use: A corps is two or more divisions, commanded by a major general
 A division is composed of two or more brigades, also commanded by a major general.
 A brigade, commanded by a briga- dier general, is composed of two or more regiments and independent com panies or battalions.
 A regiment of infantry consists of twelve line companies and three addi- tional companies. It is commanded by colonel, with the following addi- tiOnal officers: one lieutenant colonel, three majors, fifteen captains as com pany commanders, three of them also being members of the colonel's staff as adjutant; quartermaster and com missary; two lieutenants to each com pany, one lieutenant acting on each of the three majors staff.
 A battalion is made up of four com panies and is commanded by a major.
 A company of infantry consists of about 150 men, divided into two pla- toons; platoons are divided into squads. A platoon is commanded by a ieutenant-a commissioned officer; two or more squads are commanded by a sergeant; a squad is commanded by corporal and comprises seven men besides the corporal.
 A company of cavalry is called troop and battalion of cavalry is called squadron.
 A company of artillery is called a battery. It is divided into sections and there may be different numbers of guns, according to the kind of artil- lery.
 Three batteries of artillery make a battalion.
 ,'The word company" troop" or battery" should not be used before the letter as Company B." It would be the same as to say Street Jack son." The letter comessfirst, just as the numeral comes before the word regiment: Second Regiment" Not Regiment Second.

[ Troops are either "federals" (regu lar) or national guard. Every male citizen of the United States between the age of IS and 45 is member of the militia. Never use the word when referring to organized bodies of troops.
 There are no such things as militia officials" or "army officials" in mill tary parlance. They are national guard and army officers.
 A skir1mish, engagement, brush, fight or encounter is not battle.
 A battle is an engagement for the possession of certain point and is general in its character. Large bodies of troops are engaged-more than a brigade. Otherwise the fight is an engagement, a sldrmisn or an en- counter.
 Never say Captain Jones and his soldiers of Company A." Say "A Com pany, commanded by Captain Jones, ;" did so and so.
 Any irregular body of troops less than company, or troop, is called a detachment, unless it is a Platoon or squad or a section of artillery. Never say Lieutenant Jones and number of men" from such and such an or ganization. Say: "a detachment from A Company, commanded by Lieut.. Jones'"
 Ammunition is spoken of in terms of rounds. Fifty rounds" means fifty cartridges-ffty shots.
 Never say muskets. There are not any. Artillerymen carry pistols and not revolvers.
 Troops generally move in columns. (The usual column is four men abreast two ranks comprises a squad, with the corporal as the man on the left in the rear rank.) They go into the firing line in extended order'-some- times referred to as a skirmish line. Troops are sent into battle or engage ment as the firing line, the support and the reserve. The tactical unit in line of battle or engagement is the battalion.
 A picket consists of several men generally squad. One of a picket is sentinel or sentry. In front and on the Hanks of all troops in camp are outposts-pickets. All troops doing guard duty, picket duty, outpost duty, etc., are commanded by "the officers

In 1901 he was engaged by the operators of the Minnesota-Connor to construct a mill and was retained after its con- struction to operate it.

After his death in 1903, Mrs. Loy moved to Long Beach, where she has since made her home.
