of the death of Leon p. Starr OF this
city, a member of Company c, Colo
RADIO National Guard, in a Denver hos
pital, of spinal meningitis after an i'll
ness OF not more than twenty-tOur
hours. This is the first death in Com
pany c, which was recruited in Canon
City last summer. The death of Mr..
Starr is peculiarly sad. Less than a
year ago he was married to Miss Anna
Burgess of Canon City and while on
their honeymoon trip he was sum
moned to military duty, and Fastening
home from Chicago. he joined his com
pany and did service on the Mexican
border. At the time of their marriage

little cottage in which they resided
only few days. During his absence
Mrs. Starr has kept their home In or.

COUNTRY BUTTER IS
IMPROPERLY WORKED
Most Common Faults Are Dirty
Milking and Handling of Milk
Utensils Not Clean.

Country butter can and ought to be
better than creamery butter, in the
opinion of A. S. Neale, dairy specialist,
division of extension, Kansas State
Agricultural college. The farmer is
able to control the production Of the
cream while the creamery cannot do
this.
"The most common faults In making
country butter" said Mr.. Neale, "are
dirty milking and handling of milk,
improper sterilization of separatOrs
and other milk utensils, mixing of
fresh warm cream with cold, partly
ripened cream, storing cream in a
warm place, allowing the cream to
stand too long before ripening, i'm
proper ripening, churning at too high
a temperature, and inadequate wash
ing and working of the butter after
churning.
"While saving cream in order to
get enough for churning, store it at
a temperature at least as low as that
Of cold well water. New cream when
added should always be cooled and
thoroughly mixed to insure evenness
Of ripening.

migration is now limited by the eXclu-

This means importation of Chinese,

PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES
PuzzIing Question to Gray Heads In
Calf Buslness-Mueh Depends
on Ration Furnished.

How fast should my calves grow?
Is q puzzling question even to gray
heads in the calf-raising business. This
will depend to q large extent on the
kind of ration fed, but in order for any
ration to be considered a definite sue
cess the calves should show a gain Of
at least a pound day each day for
the hrst six months. Many ordinary
dairymen are getting a pound and q
half gain daily.
In height these same calves should
increase from one and one-half to two
inches per month for the first half year.,
The height and weight have a definite
relation for average sized calves dur
ing this first period. After six months
this relation gradually changes and the
weight outstrips the height. At one
month of age a normal calf Of any
breed weighs, approximately three
pounds for each inch in height, but at
the end Of the six months period the
weight has increased to six and one
half pounds for each inch In height.
From that time on there Is continued
widening in the relation Of weight to
height until maturity.

Hog cholera killed enough animals
last year to have fed 100000 soldiers
a meat ration for 51a months. This
loss is unnecessary, for hog cholera
can be prevented to large extent.
as has been demonstrated by county
agents working through the United
States department Of agriculture and
state agricultural colleges, In the
northern and western states.
Hog cholera prevention and control
infection and the quarantine of infect
ed herds. The local conditions largely
determine the methods of procedure
by the agents. They work with groups
Of farmers, teaching them how to
vaccinate their hogs, confine and quar-
antine their herds, and disinfect their
premises. The most effective cam
paigns, perhaps, have followed the
uniting Of the farmers into organiza-
tiops by the county agents. Frequent
ly these are farm bureaus with COM
mitteemen under each community.
This is pronounced an ideal organiZa-
ton to promote educational work rela-
tive to cholera. Cholera control clubs
are very effective whent first organ
ized and at work, but when cholera
disappears from the county the or
ganiZation tends to disintegrate. On
the other hand, the farm bureau is
constantly engaged on other lines and
is ever ready to handle cholera when
it appears.
Lend Instruments to Farmers.
The work of the county agents is
often supplemented by the services Of
specialists from agricultural colleges
and the United States department of
agriculture. In a number of states
farm bureaus and cholera control
clubs have purchased instruments to
lend to the farmers and have stored
supplies of serum to have it immedi-
ately available when needed and to
lessen the cost of vaccination.
Reports to the department of agri-
culture show approximately 2,959.322
hogs killed by cholera for the year
ending March 81, 1917. These hogs
would have made approximately 29o,-
932, 200 pounds of pork which would
have furnished meat ration for an
army of a million men for 169 days.
Reports of the agents also show that
in counties and communities where
campaigns were undertaken and the
suggested program followed, the loss
frem hog cholera was very materially
reduced. County agents in nine Of
the northern and western states report
a saving of $92, ,547 in 1916, brought
about by the vaccination of 1857
hogs. From reports of 146 agents,
showing a vaccination of 210,337 hogs,
it is estimated that there was a saving

of $1,S4S,S62 as compared with the
deaths that would have been prob
able without vaccination. This saw
ing does not include thousands Of hogs
that have escaped the disease by pre-
ventive measures adopted on the rec
concentrations of county agents.
Personal instruction Given.
In many counties the agents instruct
the farmers personally how to vac
cinate hogs, quarantine herds, and
clean up and disinfect their premises.
For instance, in Scott county, Mis-
souri,, the agent loans the farm bu-
reau's instruments to individual farm
ers. He vaccinates several hogs for
the farmer and then has the farmer
vaccinate a number under his direc-
ton. The farmer vaccinates the 9TH
er hogs himself and returns the in
struments to the farm bureau Office.
Serum is sold by the bureau to the
farmers at cost. In this county IS per
cent of the 1877 hogs vaccinated un-
der the direction of the agents were
saved. Before county agent work was
undertaken there, hog vaccination for
cholera was practically unknown.
In Seward county, Nebraska, the
farm bureau also lends instruments
serum at cost. In Allen county, In
diana, thorough publicity is given the
presence of hog cholera in a neighbOr-
hood in order to stimulate interest In
a public meeting called Immediately
in the community. The county agent
gives an illustrated talk on the ma
ture, prevention and eradication Of
cholera, presenting 1t as a community
problem and perfecting an or2aniza-
ton which in every instance has pre-
vented spread from the first outbreak.
Spread of Disease Prevented.
The special value of such organiza-
tions is that the disease is caught in
the beginning and eliminated before 1t
has had time to infect all hogs In q
herd or spread to neighbOring herds.
The agent in Kingsbury county, South
Dakota, reports that last year 10 diff
ferent outbreaks occurred, with loss
.of 154 head, whereas in 1915 1,O80 head
were lost from cholera. In this cOun-
ty the community organization plan
was followed. In Johnson county, In
diana, where community meetings wfe
held, the result has far exceeded the
country agents expectations, accord
ing to his report. Farmers cO-Operat-
ed heartily in preventing the spread
Of the disease, farms were thoroughly
disinfected, hogs were vaccinated
early, neighbors were notified Of out
breaks in order that they might pro-
tect their own herds, and in conse-
quence there have been less than 30
cases of cholera in the county this
year, and in no instance has the dis
ease gotten beyond control.
