MENACE TO DAIRY INDUSTRY
Gus Abortion Each Year-Breed-
ers Are Secretive

tuberculosis is dread disease, and
it's ravages are q heavy burden on
the live stock industry. The loss that
it entails, however, is not so much to
be dreaded by the live stock men as
the losses caused by contagious abor-
ton. 1t is difficult to estimate Just
what abortion costs the dairy industry
each year; breeders are very secretive
about It's presence in their herds;
losses are taken quietly and nothing
said. Many, too, have contagious abor-
ton to deal with and are not aware
Of it. 1t is not necessary that a cow
actually abort to prove that the dis
ease exists. Sterility, irregular heat
and retained afterbirth, are all sym
toms of contagious abortion. Too of
ten, too, an abortion is explained as
the result of an accident or strain, and
the dairy farmer lulls himself into
a feeling of false security. The first
essential toward eliminating the dis
ease from the herd is that we be
honest with ourselves and recognize
that the disease exists.
Eternal vigilance is the price of free
dom from this disease.

The Mystery Explained.

Clifton Hess, an employee Of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyville,
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News,
looked out the window Of the freight
depot the other day and noticed q
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leis-
urely along, covering about foot a
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions, Hess walked outside to
get a better view. Then 1t was all
explained. The woman had big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been a leaky car Of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster, OBJ
livious to all else, was calmly filling
his crSw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there APP
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. AS the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

and many materials now used in fer
tiliZers could not be included.
Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast of Spain, this side
of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
ranean freighters returning from Eu
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
At these places the pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later on, ton for ton
this acid is mixed with rock phosphate,
and in this way the acid phosphate of
commerce is produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood bone and tankage of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production of the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production of a
sufficient supply of food crops.
Some of these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine.
and still others are tied up in neutral
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture Of the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat in this trade will carry four
thousand tons of pyrites. Every ton
of pyrites will make In the neighbor-
hood of four tons of acid phosphate,
or up to eight tons Of complete fer
tilizer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means loss of the acid for the fer

SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmers Ability to Produce
Bumper Crops

The grip of the scourge of the seas
Is now, after months of warfare, felt
by the American farmer. When the
Lusitania went down the whole world
shivered with horror-horrOr at the
very savagery of the deed, yet few of
us realized at the time that within
comparatively short time the entire
world would, in one way or another, be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage of all implements of war. Least
Of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability to
raise crops and do his bit in the line
of food production.
But It has! The war itself in its
earliest day cut off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-
duced the supply of Spanish pyrites
from which sulphuric acid is made.
This suphuric acid is used in the
manufacture of acid phosphate, and
also in the making of complete fer
tilizers Without it raw rock phos-

RiuhtS of Man,

The superstitious awe, the enslaving

of drawing forth admiration, it is be-

makes serves to call the right of Ii In

THE OVERSEAS ACRE FUND.

''Ihe farmers of France are in far
worse condition than perhaps you
know. They have literally lost every
thing except their souls. After the
last retreat of the German army, the
entire countryside was devastated.
No living thing remained, no birds, no
animals, no trees, no crOpS-nothing.
Wells were poisoned, all vestige of
their former homes and buildings were
demolished"
Help is needed and needed quickly.
Our funds will be used to buy food,
clothing, farming implements, fertil-
izer, seeds, live stock, building ma
terials, and other necessities as re-
ported to us by the War Relief Clear
ance House. Every gift will be marked,
Given with gratitude and good will
from the farmers of America-through
their Overseas Acre Fund.-" The
above statement is from pamphlet

proximately 10000 acres Of corn, of

1t diminishes by this much the ability
of the farmeC to utilize to advantage
his short supply of farm labor, to
grow sufficient crops, and at the same
time give up to military service the
boys of the farm.
Domestic Pyrites Help.
But this doesn't mean that we shall
have no fertilizer. All over the cOun
try there are small domestic deposits
of pyrites These can be and are be-
ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and it looks as
though there will be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
is higher than that of Spanish pyrites,
and the quality often lower. The cost
of labor In mining is always higher,
and the cost of handling greater.
These facts mean inevitably an in
crease in the cost of acid phosphate
and complete fertilizer. Fortunately,

MANY FARMERS HORSE POOR
Four Animals Are All That Is Needed
to Work Quarter Section-One
Should Be Brood Mare.

Too many farmers are horse poor.
They have not only too many horses
but horses which are not good. In
is no need for more than four horses.
Three of these should be heavy horses
and one should be an animal heavy
enough to do considerable work yet
light enough to do the family driving.
Of these heavy horses at least one
should be a good brood mare. While

Concrete ships will displace the
wooden-walled Norwegian barque, it
is reported, the first Norwegian con-
crete ship having been launched at
the jPorsgrund Cement Works, in the
presence of the prime minister, M.

tirely new system, with the bottom
upwards, in which extraordinary posi-
ton the launching took place on a
sort of underlying sledge, which glided
out with the ship. When the water
was reached the hull became detached
from the sledge and gradually sank
up to certain point, then subsequent,
ly slowly righted itself. The ship,
which is of 200 tons burden, was built
in three weeks, but the next will only
require about half that time as the
original frame will be used for each
subsequent ship of the same size. The
casting of the ship, when the frame is
completed will this time take only two
days. 1t is intended to start the whole
sale building of iron and concrete
ships of 200, 500 and 1000 tons. A
1,OO0-ton ship will be completed in six
weeks.
