red due to the premature calvins or from 15 per cent to 50 per cent. of the cows, there is also the loss in milk production due to the fact that COW which does not calve normally does not receive sufficient stimulation for maximum production. Again difficult ty is often encountered in getting a COW to conceive properly once she has aborted.
 In 1897, the discovery of the organ ism causing the disease was first re- ported Various investigators have since worked on the problem but aside from the successful application of ag- SlutiEation and conplement-fxatio blood tests, little successful work has actually been done and-the disease has continued to spread rapidly. The present work seems to materially ad- vance the information in regard to it's effective control.
 In the work done at the Storrs Fix pertinent Station, three herds have been under observation. In one, the infection was apparently of recent origin; in another, while it had been present for several years, breeding records are available only since 1914 In a third, records are available since the Introduction of the disease through the purchase of three cows :n 1904. It has been generally supposed that the disease, after while burns it's self out" the animals becoming inn

misery. During these hunts there are lots of pertinent remarks banded back and forth among the explorers, such as, Say, Bill, I'll swap you two little ones for a big one," or, I've got a black one here that looks like Kaiser Bill"
 One sunny day in the front line trench, saw three officers sitting outside of their dugout 'cooties" are no respectorS of rank; I have even noticed a suspicious uneasiness about a certain well-known general, one of them was a major, two of them were exploring their shirts, paying no at tention to the occasional shells which passed overhead. The major was writing a letter; every now and then he would lay aside his writing pad, search his shirt for few minutes, get an inspiration, and then resume writ ing. At last he finished his letter and gave it to his runner" was curi- ous to see whether he was writing to an insect firm, so when the runner passed me I engaged him in conver- sation and got a glimpse at the ad- dress on the envelope. It was ad- dressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in London. The runner informed me that Miss Somebody was the majors sweetheart and that he wrote to her every day. Just imagine it., writing, a love letter during a. "cootie" hunt; but such is the creed of the trenches. (Continued Tomorrow

ed jumps said flea is liable to land on the fellow next to you; he has the typical energy and push of the American, while the "cootie'' has the bulldog tenacity of the Englishman, he holds on and consolidate or digs in until his meal is finished.
 There is no way to get rid of them permanently. No matter how often you bathe, and that is not very often, or how many times you change your underwear, your friends, the "cooties.' are always in evidence. The billets are infested with them. especially so, if there is straw on the floor.
 I have taken bath and put on brand new underwear; in fact, com plete change of uniform and then turned in for the night. The next morning my shirt would be full of them. It is a common sight to see eight or ten soldiers sitting under 9 tree withs their shirts over ther knees engaging in a ''shirt hunt"
 At night about half an hour before lights out,'' you can see the Tommies grouped around a candle, trying, in it's dim light, to rid their underwear of the vermin. A popular and very quick method is to take your shirt and drawers and run the seams back and forward in the flame from the candle and burn them out. This prac- tice is dangerous, because you are h- able to burn holes in the garments if you are not careful.
 Recruits generally sent to Eighty for a brand Of insect powder adver- t3sed as Good for body lice" The advertisement is quite right; the powder is good for "cooties," they simply thrive on it.
 The older men of our battalion we're wiser and made scratchers out of wood. These were rubbed smooth with a bit of stone or sand to pre- vent splinters. They were about eighteen inches long, and Tommy guarantees that scratcher of this length will reach any part of the body which may be attacked. Some of the fellows were lazy and only made their scratchers twelve inches, but many a night on guard looking over the top from the fire step of the front line trench, they would have given a thousand "quid' for the other six inches.
 Once while we were in rest bfllets an Irish Hussar regiment camped |n an open field opposite our billet After they had fed their horses, a general shirt hunt took place. The troopers ignored the call Dinner up and kept on with their search for big game. They had curious method of pro- cedure. They hung their shirts over hedge and beat them with their en- trenching tool handles. I asked one of them why they didn't pick them off by hand, and he an swered, We haven't had bath for nine weeks or change of clabber. If I fried to nick the 'cootieS' off my
 shirt, would be here for duration of war" After taking a close look at his
 shirt I agred with him. It was alive The greatest shock recruit gets when he arrives at his battalion in France is to see the men engaging in 1 a "cootie hunt. With an air of con- 1 tempt and disgust he avoids the com pany of the older men, until couple l of days later, in torment of itching,

Better Pasture ys. Grain Feed.

Better Pasture vs. Grain Feed.
 Everyone agrees that New England ought to have more sheep. .But,sNew England is not getting more sheep at least, not rapidly. Farmers are loath to increase their stock holdings in the face of high prices for the feed with which to keep them. New Eng land would be justified in leaving sheep alone if it was necessary rte.H1y grain to feed them
 But New England has large amount of land which car only be farmed profitably as pasture and sheep pasture at that. Much of the pasture is poor. to be sure, butaif we follow the procedure of the .Rothamsted (England) experiment station ever poor pasture may. be made to produce mutton and wool without. the use of grain.
 One half of a. sheep pasture was top dressed with fertilizer. No grain was fed to the sheep pastured here. T The other half of the field was not feftil- iZed. but the sheep were fed cottonseed meal at the rate of one pound per head per day. At the end of the period of three years the gain in mutton and wool was the same in each case-but $50 pounds more cottonseed meal than fertilizer was used. The cottonSeed meal cost about twice as much as the fertilizer. and the fertilized pasture was producing more than the unfer- tilized at the end of the period. - --

 worker. will do more next year-must do more next year than he ever did before.
 More grain, more food crops, more meat, must be produced next year than ever before in the history of the coun- try, and that with less labor It will not be accomplished simply by work ing harder-by cultivating more acres. It will not be accomplished by work ing longer hours. As a matter. of fact most farmers work too hard and too long as it is. What is needed is some thing far different Probably the first step toward greater accomplishment will actually lessen labor. This will come through the elimination of dupli- cated efforts brought about by more thought, better planning, better prep aration, and less duplication of effort will pave the way toward larger crops with even less labor than usual

POULTRY WAR RATIONS.
Recommendations of Experts as to Balanced Rations to Ensure Egg Production.

A recent conference of poultry ex- perts in New York propose a stand ardiZation of war rations for poultry, and the ration recommended for scratch feed is cracked corn, 800 pounds; feed wheat 100 pounds; heavy oats, 200 pounds; barley, 2H0 pounds. This combination of grains makes all excellent scratch grain, but at present prices it is doubtful if it pays to feed as large percentage of corn as sug- gested in this ration. AS long as req sonably good wheat can be secured for a less price than cracked corn, it is going to be practical for poultry keep. CTS to feed wheat in quantities at least equal to corn, and as long as oats are cheaper than either corn or wheat, if they are of good quality, they should ! also be fed in large quantities. Barley on the present market is one-half cent per pound higher than oats and there l fore the careful feeder will not use very much barley, no matter how good ! it may be. as long as it maintains i! that ratio toward oats.
 1 Every poultry keeper should keep | this suggested ration in mind and as soon as corn reaches the price which it should normally be- with a large supply on hand, that should be in- 1
 l Contrary to normal times, dry mash
 is this season cheaper than scratch grains. For this reason a special ef- l fort should be made to make the fowls
 eat more dry mash than they do natur ally. The best method to bring this about is feeding limited amount of scratch grain at all times except at
 night, and even in some instances leaving out the scratch grain ration entirely, except at night. Also the feeding. of a warm wet mash in addi- tion to the dry mash available for the birds all the time. The palatabi1ity o1 of the poultry mash is of greater i'm portance than most people realize and 1 this should always be taken into con- sideration when the mash is being pre-
 pared. When birds have a dry mash
 which they eat greedily. the same
 combination should be fed without
 change.

sidence of the disease. may indicate to the contrary but the disease still remains in the herd Heifers coming on, when they are raised, will gener- ally show a large percentage of pre- mature births in the first or second calf producing periods. It should be pointed out in this connection that abortion (premature birth) does not necessarily occur with an infected an- imal, although it generally does result in such manifestation at least once during the life of the animal.
 As an indication of the tenacity of the disease the following percentages of calves lost through abortion in one herd under observation at the station are given for the period from 1904 to 1916. inclusive:

These percentages are based upon the total number of calvage. It will be noted that as late as 1914, twenty five perecent. or one-fourth of all the calying cows aborted. In 1917, the abortions were less than ten per cent. due to the effective control during those. years, which will be described later. In, 1914, seventy-fv per cent. of the calving cows reacted positively to the blood test, this showing the

The losses now occurring annually as a result of infectious abortion are variously estimated from twenty-five to fifty million dollars in the United States. No other cattle disease works greater havoc or is so expensive to the dairymen, located in thickly settled dairy communities. In such com munities, there is considerable inter- change of stock, the cattle are inten- siyely bred for high production and they are required to work under an in- tensive system and it is doubted if more than very few herds areen- tirely free from the disease.
