With the exception OF the serum

ANYTHING like a satisfactory guar

of the disease is claimed for two or
three months; and while they are

necessarily frequent administration
make them rather inconvenlent
and expensive proposition in the

The manufacturers OF none or
these supposed preventatives claim
any health-giving potentialities, nor
do they claim that their prepara-
tions will cure an animal actually
afflicted with blackleg.

calves with blackleg providing we
reach them while they can stand on
their feet" is Doctor Buskirk S
statement.
College Uses Aggressive.
While the A. & NJ. Collge man
ufacture a powder which is sup
posed to immunize calves from
blackleg for period OF two months,
thev do not treat the calves OF the
institution with it. To the contrary
the aggressive serum manufactured
by the Kansas Blackleg Serum Com
panv, of which Doctor Buskirk is
the Oklahoma representative. is in
variablv used for blackleg immuni-
zation.
Not only this, but practically all
pure bred cattle breeders in the
country are using the aggressive
serum, and every last one OF them
are positive in their statements to
the effect that the use of the vaccine
facilities the growth and develop
ment of their calves.
In view OF which | deem it only
matter of justice to recite the facts
which may have an important bear
ing on the progress and development
of the livestock industry in Carter
county.
Choose Treatment Desired.
Nor is there an inclination to die
tate a particular treatment for the
prevention OF blackleg. Every man
must be his own Judge in the matter
and select the preparation OF his
choice.
But there is desire to absolutely
immunize every calve in the county
against the disease. To save the in

Well, what is the use OF having

By William Gentry.

What is the use OF having any

was one of my mothers earliest eX-
pressions with which became, and
shall always remain, familiar.
That good lady had habit OF
practicing what she preached. fnis
was frequently evidenced by The
manner in which she guarded her
jam, although the reckless disregard
to the prevention of her slipper Of
ten perplexed, me. At times even
questioned her Judgment in expect
ing to reach the brain by series
OF smart stings occasioned by the
rapid and strenuous applications, in
which the slipper figured conspicu-
ously, on a part of the human anat-
omy so distaintly remote from that
organ.
But. regardless of her means, her
end was reached in that have al
ways remembered the admonition to
take care of everything belonging to
me. Whether or not | have done
it is another question. And whether
or not | have done it should be no
criterion for the other fellow not
doing it, for the value of the ad-
vice is, and shall always remain, in
contestable.
Guard Against Unnecessary Loss.
There can be no question about
there being no known means where
by many losses could have been pre-
vented and it is equally certain that
many losses have been sustained
which might have been prevented by
known and effectively proven pre-
cautions. In the latter cases the
matter was due either to neglect or
carelessness-two practices which
will not be tolerated by modern bus
mess institutions. Neither should
they be permitted in the manage
ment OF farm.
In this connection-disclaiming
the presumption of debating the
manner in which the other fellow
should conduct his business-it
would seem only reasonable that all
means should be used to prevent the
death of cattle with diseases from
which the ymay be immunized. To
this end, DR.. c. 5. Buskirk, black
leg expert, Oklahoma City, was in
vited to Ardmore by Carl Russell,
county agent, to administer vaccine
to calves owned by men who are Ia
miliar with the merits and poyential-
ity of aggressive serum.
Immunization For Life.
During Doctor Buskirk'S visit the
calves in several herds were vac
cinated Mort Woods had from
forty to fifty Guernsey calves OF the
Primrose Dairy immunized. About
a hundred head were treated near
Woodford and numerous requests
for the administration OF the serum
have reached the county agent from
men living in the Poolville neigh
borhood.
All are specific in their resire for
the use OF the serum which immun-
izes calves against blackleg for life
under the guarantee of payment for
losses resulting from blacgleg afflic-
ton. These men seem to appreciate
the fact of its economic merit in
both time and expense.
Not only does the aggressive
serum prevent blackleg, but, it is
said, its use will kill the germs dor
mant in the system of ninety-nine
calves in hundred and occasion
healthier growth and development.

and the result was that he sold more
than 5000 worth OF produtcs be-
sides what he used for his own fam
". Besides this income from the
garden he made bumper crop, that
year, in corn and cotton and paid
Mr.. Johnson $500 in rent for the
forty acres, besides making good
profit for himself. He did this be-
cause he applied himself and worked
his crops with the highest possible
efficiency. In fact he made enough
to make a substantial payment on a
farm of his own which he lives on
now and owns. It's the renter who
applies himself that makes the head
way and eventually becomes land
owner. Mr.. Johnson believes that
the land owner should in all in
stances do everything possible to en-
courage the renter. 1t is money for
both of them and besides the renter
shows an inclination to build up
both the farms and improvements.
He believes that a comfortable house
to live in and good barns to house
the stock in are the due of every
renter and it is up to the landlord
to see that they are provided. There
can not be a great deal expected
from man that is working at dis
advantage in caring for his stock
and with no comforts for himself
or his family. Every renter should
by all means. according to Mr..
Johnson's idea raise enough gar
den truck for his family and should
raise enough hogs for the same pur-
pose and in most cases enough to
have some left over for market.
Enough cows should be kept to sup
ply the family and an abundance OF
chickens should be raised on every
farm. Through these mediums prac-
tically all of the farmers living ne
cessities. as far as food is concerned,
are produced. 1t does not take a
great deal more time or effort but

in the system OF practically all
calves has been proven beyond i
question OF doubt" Doctor Bus
kirk explained, and it requires on
" certain peculiar conditions for
the development oi'the disease which
may be easily prevented by killing
the parasites by vaccination with
an aggressive serum.
These conditions may exist in the
animals themselves, in the water, in
the pasture, in the feed and are cap
able OF exciting the blackleg germs
at almost any time in animals which
have not been immunized.
Asked ii the use OF aggressive
serum was a positive blackleg pre-
ventative, the expert said;
absolutely. so sure are we OF
this that we pay for all calves which
may die after the administration OF
our serum-that' is, all calves over
three months old. We guarantee
calves three weeks old for eighteen
months. and, as the result OF expert
ment now under way, we expect to
be in 4 position to extend this latter
period within a short time.
I'VE go further than this con
tinued the visitor. I'VE have dem
onstrated that calves vacclnated
with the aggressive serum develop
more rapidly and satisfactorily than
those which have been treated with
other So-called blackleg preventa-

SO positive is the belief OF Doctor

ed at all--that the owner will weigh
them in two separate punches and
paw him the difference between the

Armies West of Mouse Are Practi- cally Cut Of From the Strong hold of Metz-Principal Re-

With the French Arm yin France.-- The Franco American operations west of the Mouse since November 1 have shaken the pivot upon which the en- tire German retreat turns. The Ger mans are still making d stout resist ance. without modifying the salient feature of the situation, which is that their armies west of the Mouse are practically cut off from direct con- munication with Metz.
 The main reliance of the Germans now is on the line of the Mouse, which they appear determined to de- fend, while west of the river their principal resistance is along the Ar dennes Canal. French troops have reached this obstacle from Rilly-auX- Dies, at the bend of the Aisne, to the River Bar. Here they encountered sustained artillery, machine gun and musketry fire.
 The Germans are still holding along the Aisne between Rethel and Cha teau Porcien while further west in- dications of a retreat were noticed. The French pursuit maintained con tact with the enemy's rear guards and reached Herpy and the region east of Recouvrance and Bannegne, as well as height 9S, southeast of Mon tigny-le-Cour
