The Avon Club has volunteered in
behalf OF the Red Cross to get up
classes in First Aid and In Home
Nursing to be organized and run

pense attached to the classes being
nifty cents per member and the cost

SUM MARY OF RULES,

Rules have been formulated by the
department to effect the necessary
saving of foods. Some of these rules
apply to manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers under license regulations.
Others APPLY to the housewife and

points: The consumer is requested to
purchase All equal amount of soma

urged. This will consist of a mini
mum of five per cent of cereal other
than wheat f9r the present, the per-
eentage to be increased until on Feb

USE OF BACTERIAL VACCINE
and Distemper Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination of horses as pre-
SCntive for strauglcs or distcmper is
being extensively employed. 1t has
teCn found that the cause of the dis.
ease warrants the use of 4 bacterial
vaccine. This gives assistance to ma
lures own efforts of protection and
forms the logical means of preventing
Stranglcs as well as other diseases
caused by specific organisms.
The outcome of the vaccination of
horses has in some instances been dis
appointing. Tt is possible that in such
cases the bacteria has deteriorated or
become ineffective, or that the results
are complicated by secondary infec-
tons. In the latter case it is advisable
to use bacterins that will combat the
secondary infections. These are called
mixed hacterins, and contain Il yari-
city OF killed bacteria commonly en-
c2untcrCu in such diseases.
In case diStcnpcr appears, all
healthy animals should be Immediately
tnjcccrd with strcptobacterins. The
administration of bacterial vaccines
should be made by competent veter-
marian, as improper administration
may not provide proper protection and
so result in Irregularities. BacterinS
can be obtained from manufacturers
Of various biological products.

CLIPPING HORSES In SPRING
Heavy Coat of Hair Causes Mucn
Sweating, Which Is Enervatng
to Work Animals.

A good many horses come thr0uge
the winter season with heavy, rough
coats that are not shed when spring
work begins; the result is they are I'M
comfortable when at heavy work. A
heavy coat of hair causes much sweat
ing, which is enervating to the horsS
Gnd consequently produces an unnec-
esSary drain upon his strength and
vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that
Ewcats freely during the changing
weather Of spring is very apt to take
cold. Rough. shaggy coats should be
clipped in the spring before heavy
work begins.
There are excellent clippers on the
market for this purpose, and they caI
oa bought at very reasonable prices
a coed clipper Will pay for itself in
single season or almost any farm, and
sometimes it will do much more than
that. II a team is laid up with q bad
cold for q few days when work is
pressing the loss of work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use Of a clipper and Incl,
dentaIIy also make the horse mere

crably more attention than those On the

suits.
The most common method of heating
these homemade breeders is by means
of q jug Of hot water. A box which
contains sufficient room for from so to
100 chicks and which is tight on ali
sides excepting the front is the first re-
Quirement. Soue method OF ventilation
should be provided on the top Of the

furnishes the heating plant. The jug

number Of chicks perfectly comfortable,
There are nearly as many makes OF
breeders on the market as there are
Incubator factories in the country
Many of these broOders are so cheaply
constructed as to be in constant danger
Of fire. Many small breeders are Oh
the market, however, which are practi-
cal1y fircprOof and which have a ca.
pacity of from 80 to 100 chicks.

That the Importance of the brooder
in rearing large numbers of incubator

houses and yards Where hens are
used for breeders in cold weather only
a few chicks can be given to each hen.
This requires large number of GOODS,
and the attendant is compelled to give

would be required for one large flock
cared for by the brooder.
