Safe Squeeze Gates.

ton, known as the squeeze gates, af
fords an excellent method of holding
cattle for treatment.
In great many cases, especially
with young cattle, they are chased un-
til they become heated and excited;
then are roped and thrown. This is
not only detrimental to the ailing ami
NAL but often puts them in very awk-
ward position to work upon.
With squeeze gates it is possible,
with the aid of feed, to coax the ami
NAL quietly into the stanchion and use
the gates if the case demands them.
Even with milch cows that are more
docile there is more or less danger, by
the sudden movements of the COW, of
breaking an arm when treating the
genital organs.
For cases of abortion, where the
genital organs should be constantly
treated and freely dressed with anti
septic solutions. the squeeze gates are
worth many times their initial cost, for
when treating such cases the two
gates are swung around and by means
of racheted props the animal is held
so it cannot move sideways, thus allow
ing the attendant to work with the
greatest degree of satisfaction.

CARING FOR ANIMAL WOUNDS
Ohio Veterinary Surgeon Gives Con-
else Directions for Care and
Treatment of Injuries.

Animals on the farm are continual
" being wounded. The first step to
take in the care of wound is to
promptly explore the parts with
view to ascertaining if there is for
eign body; then arrest the hemor-
rhage to prevent waste of blood, writes
w. G. Fair, veterinary surgeon, in
Ohio Farmer. The latter can often be
done by twisting the blood vessel or
tying it, or by compression. The
wound should then be washed with an
antiseptic solution Of some kind. 1t is
important that the wound have proper
drainage. 1t may be necessary to do
little cutting before good drainage is
obtained. A wound that pockets sell
dom heals quickly. Small wounds
about the head and neck should first
be cleaned, peroxide of hydrogen APP
piled (stitching material dipped in
same), then edges Of wound brought
together and stitched as evenly as pos
sible. Paint edges Of the wound with
tincture of iodine or apply equal parts
oxide of zinc and boric acid or any
other reliable commercial busting pow
der. Never stitch wound unless you
believe it necessary to hold the It's
sues together.

BILLIONS NEEDED FOR WAR
Only $500, 100000 of Second Loan Sub.
scribed and Campaign Now Half
Over-To Buy Bonds Is Pa
triotic Service.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The president
has proclaimed Wednesday, October
"a, as Liberty day." On that day he
will expect all communities to unite
in demonstration for the second Lib
erty loan. All federal employees are
given a half-holiday. The proclama-
ton is as follows:
1.-The second Liberty loan gives the
people of the United States another
opportunity to lend their funds to this
government to sustain their country
at war. The might of the United States
is being modified and organized to
strike a mortal blow at autOcracy in
defense of outraged American rights
and of the cause of liberty. Billions
of dollars are required to arm, feed
and clothe the brave men who are
going forth to fight our country's bat
tie and to assist the nations with
whom we are making common cause
against common foe.
''To subscribe to the Liberty loan
is to perform a patriotic service.
''Now I, therefore, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States of
America, do appoint Wednesday, the
oath of October, as Liberty day, and
urge and advise the people to assem-
BILE in their respective communities
and to pledge to one another and to
the government that represents them
the fullest measure of financial sup
port
'On the afternoon of that day | re-
quest that patriotic meetings be held
in, every city, town and hamlet
throughout the land, under the gen.
eral direction of the secretary of the
treasury and the immediate direction
of the Liberty loan committee which
have been organized by the federal re-
serve banks"
Disappointment over the results up
to date in the Liberty loan campaign
are expressed in statement issued
by the treasury department. Reports,
however, are said to be encouraging.
1t is believed that not more than
S600,0O0,000 worth of bonds have been
sold.I
Unofficial estimates from five of the
twelve districts show a total subscrip-
ton to date of $525, 100000. The Chi
cago, district is credited with $44 ,005,-
400, as against $325, 100000 for the
New York district, $65,OOO,OOO for the
Cleveland district, $59, 10000 for the
Boston district and $50, 196,950 for the
San Francisco district.

COAL SHORTAGE IN THE U. S.
Situation Attributed to Unprecedented
Demand-Prices Raised in
Southern District.

Washington, Oct. 49, Existence of
a general coal shortage was admitted
by the geological survey, which at
tributes the situation not to the fail
ure Of producers to do their best but
to the unprecedented demand.
A serious coal shortage exists in
Ohio, fuel administration officials were
told by delegation of consumers.
Coal prices in some districts of Ten
nessee, Kentusky and Virkinia were
raised by the fuel administration after
it was shown operators could not mine
coal at a profit at the prices fixed re-
Gently.
In Virginia prices in some districts
are raised from 81 to $40 for run-of-
mine coal.
In eastern Tennessee run-of-mine
coal prices in five counties are raised
from $3.50 to $40.

TER OF MARINE, RESIGNS.
Revolt In Navy Is Given as Reason.
Crews of Six Vessels in In,
surrection.

Amsterdam, Oct 15.--Vice Admiral
Won Capelle, the German minister of
marine, has resigned, according to the
Frankfurter Zeitung.
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle
was one of the administrative directors
in the ministry of marine before the
war and had served as a captain at
sea. In March, 1916, he succeeded Adj
miral Won Tirpitz as imperial minister
of the navy.
Vice Admiral Won CapeIle announced
in the reichstag that plot had been
discovered in the navy to paralyze the
efficiency of the feet and force the
government to make peace. He said
that the guilty parties had received
their just deserts and attempted to
link socialists with the plot.
The socialists and their newspapers
have attacked the vice admiral for his
statements.
1t is a fact that the insurrectiOn
took place on at least six important
units of the grand fleet and that it
not only put the ships out of action
but caused the authorities TO doubt
the discipline and loyalty of the crews
of other large ships.
The seriousness Of the event is
shown by facts brought out in the
reichstag and in comments in the
press. with the object of handing
the ships over to the enemy fairly
and literally describes what was at
tempted in more than one case.

MAY SEIZE U. S. RAILROADS

Washington, Oct. 15.-"The exigen-
cies of war may force government own
ership of the American railroads in the

tee on national preparedness.
''Not only is ship tonnage made
Quate for wars demand, but the whole
transportation system of America is
bending and may break under the
strain of our first year at war.
with crops not yet moving free
Ily, with only a fraction of our new
army sent from home, with our whole
national war effort yet implanted and
unmeasured. war production is already
hampered by shortage of cars and To-
comotives, lack of ample terminal
acreage and other facilities.
Perhaps the only step that the rail-
road people could take to postpone
government ownership for any length
of time would be very broad-minded
and general attitude on their part in
contributing their facilities to the COM
munity service (under conditions Of
sale or lease or perhaps pooling),
where such facilities were needed to de-
velop transportation facilities, which
in the past would have been consid-
cred competitive to the individual
road.
Nothing short of the combined To-
cal and national effort can prevent our
present transportation facilities from
proving utterly inadequate to meet
the needs for carrying this war to
speedy decision. The toll, therefore,
which this nation must pay in blood
of it's children will be measured by the
general interest and initiative in the
Transportation field"
