DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS
pared Strong Indictment
Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis
eases OF man, yet, for some unexplnin-
able reason, the scientists and physi-
clans declare that a whole host OF
ofttimes fatal ailments of mankind are
traceable to the beasts. says Popular
Science Monthly.
The horse is blamed for spreading
CHAMBERS, rabies, iockjaw and other dis
eases Of five or more syllables. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors of rabies, parasitic worms of diff
ferent kinds, fleas and ticks.
The cow Is the worst offender. The
list of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-Curdling, until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
lists consent to the use Of milk, butter
and cheese which still lead the dietl-
tinns' list of nutrtlves.
Rats, squirrels and fieas spread the
bubonlc plague. We are prepared tn
believe that lice and bedbugs, flies and
mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines
for yellow fever and malaria. We ara
willing to forego the luscious oyster
all the year around. If need be, to
avoid typhoid fever.

PROPER BROOD-SOW RATIONS
Fed Has Much to Do With Strength
Of Litter-ResuIts Obtained at
Iowa Station.

The brood sow's ration has much to
do with the strength of the litter, &C
cordlng to results obtained at the Iowa
experiment station.
In lot of gifts fed a ration of ear
corn plus one-tenth as much tankage
by weight, 9S per cent of the pigs were
clasSed as strong at birth. The per-
centage of strong pigs with corn alone
was 6S. The percentage with other
rations follows:
Shelled corn, chopped clover and
molasses, SO per cent strong: ear corn
plus clover in rack, "a per cent strong /:
ear corn plus alfalfa in rack, "a per
cent strong.
The cost OF newborn pigs with ear
corn and clover was 81 cents, with ear
corn and alfalfa 90 cents, with eaf
corn and tankage 10 cents, and with
ear corn only Al cents. These cost
figures were based on corn at 30 cents
bushel, and would have to be multi

TO DISTRIBUTE GARDEN CROPS
Disposition of Vacant Lot Produce in
Cities Will Be Systematized This
Coming Season.

In every city where the vacant lot
gardening movement received atten-
ton the past summer-and the num-
Der is represented most accurately by
an atlas of the United States-there
has been in full sway movement hav-
ing in view the preservation and con-
servation and wise distribution of the
abundant crops produced. Demon
STATIONS in drying, canning and pre-
serving of fruits and garden produce
were given all summer from one end
of the land to the other, so there seems
little danger of the wastage or loss of
the city lands abundance. And that
is not all.
City officials and civic organizations
have actively concerned themselves
with plans for next year. Fall plOw-
ing was provided for. Needed enrich
ment of the soil and the securing and
proper distribution of fertilizers are
being considered. More systematic and
more thoroughgsing methods for the
direction and handling of the city gar
dening movement are being worked
out. In word. the thought and in
tent of the city jewellers of the United
States are for still more abundant
harvest next season from the vacant
lots and waste places of the congested
communities.
The men. and women of American
cities, joining hands with the men and
women of American farms, are quiet
ly and consistently setting about to
prove that it is not yet possible to
starve the civilized world, much less
America, while soil and rain and sun
shine last.-Mac Lean Libbey in Col

Public Health Too Much Neglected

Public health work in this country
is still in it's infancy. All tests applied
showed the health departments in the
smaller cities to be weaker than those
in the larger cities. Perhaps the most
surprising finding is that the Southern
and Pacific cities have better devel-
oped municipal health departments
than the Northern cities from the
Rockies to the Atlantic. The Central
Northern cities stand at the foot of
the list. recent report concludes
that the appropriations granted most
health departments in this country
are grossly inadequate for the new
functions modern science requires
them to perform. 1t is stated that
health departments should be allowed
a minimum wage" of 80 cents per in
habitant per year, as compared with
the present average allowance of %
cents.--Government Bulletin.

the roads at the proper time. Surely
we shall soon reach time when every
farmer will take pride in seeing the
road in front of his farm kept smooth
and hard, whether he is paid for it or
not. The best work we get done in
this world, the work that counts for
the most, is that which a man does for
love of 1t. and because of his own self
respect, rather than for the money he
may make. This is true of about every
thing we do. The best work is work
that cannot be paid for in cash, but is
the outward expression of the inward
life of the man.
Let's get over the idea that we must
do only what we are paid for doing.
and that when we are paid for it, it is
all right to do less work for the same
money for the township or county than
we would do for neighbor or employ
er. Let's develop loyalty to our
selves, to our farms, to the township.
to the state, that will lead US to do
things because they should be done.
and not for the gain we get out of II,
not primarily for the pay.

DRAGGING IN EARLY SPRING
Easiest and Best Method OF Road

Farmers don't realize the value of

make money by going around selling
drags, it would be better. For the
farmer would then think he must use
it to get his money out of it. Its cheap

ship usually buys.
If you really want a good road this
summer, don't forget the spring drag
ging. If you dragged your roads
smooth last fall after the last rain,
so that they froze up smooth, you
have had good roads all winter. If
not, you have smoothed them down by
humping over them, and then smoothed
them only in the tracks, torturing your

HOW COLD AFFECTS SOUNDS
Numerous Examples Can Be Given.
but Exact Reason Is Hard
to Explain.

A close observer describes two phe.
nomena of nature not easily explained:
First, that natural sounds are very
different in the colder than in the
warmer months of the year and. Sec
ond, that waters have different tlnts
during the colder and warmer months.
A number of examples occur 10

not noticed the contrast In the noise

house-in summer what soft, mellow
tone 1t has and In winter what a
harsh, rough whistle?
Then, again, let us stroll along the
banks of stream in May, June or
July, and we will observe that the wa
ter will then make "a gentle, babblng
sound. while In November or winter
1t will. with not great volume, make a
hoarse, gurgling noise.

TRAINING FOR YOUNG BULLS
Should Be Taught to Be Led by Halter
When Quite Young-Caretaker
Must Be Master.

When quite young, the bull should
be trained to be led by halter. BY
the time he is year old, strong ring
should be inserted in his nose so he
can be led by staff. 1t is not safe to
try to lead grown bull merely by
halter or rope fastened to his ring. In
leading by the staff. the caretaker
should always walk at the side and
never in front of the bull. One of the
essentials in training the young bull is
that he must be taught that his care
taker is his master. Bulls known to
be vicious usually are handled with
care, with the result that fewer acct
dents are likely to occur with them
than with those considered gentle.

SILAGE FOR DAIRY ANIMALS
Found Superior to Corn Fodder by Ex-
pertinent Stations - Larger
Amount of Nutrients.

Experiments conducted by expert
ment stations demonstrate that silage
is superior to corn fodder for dairy
cows. Cows receiving silage in the
ration produced 10 per cent more milk
than cows receiving corn fodder. Hen
ry in Seeds and Feeding" states that
"Silage gives better results than dry
corn fodder for the reason that cows
fed the succulent palatable silage usu-
ally consume a heavier ration than
those fed the dry fodder and hence
have a larger amount of nutrients
available for milk production after
the maintenance requirements of the
body have been met"

LET SHEEP CRAZE IN PARKS
Good Idea Both From Financial Stand
point and in Improved Appear
ance of the Grass.

For many years European cities
have turned out flocks of sheep, NUM-
cipally owned to Craze in their parks.
The sheep is one of the best of lawn
mowers. 1t crops closely, yet not too
closely, insuring that smooth-shaven
effect which delights the eye. And
grazing sheep, as well as well-trim-
med lawns, are highly ornamental.
The city of Denver, keenly aware Of
the necessity for the utilization of all
available land in the production OF
foodstuffs, has decided to purchase no
fewer than 5000 sheep to NOW its
park lawns next year. The agricul-
tural experts have decided that where
the grass is heavy and we'll rooted
three sheep to the acre can be easily
maintained They will buy ewes ready
for lambing, according to plans, and
will make handsome profit upon the
mutton and wool.
There are $50 cities in the United
States with populations in excess OF
$4,000, and practically every one of
these cities has hundreds of acres of
park land. These park acreages, the
government believes, could easily
maintain 100000 sheep each summer.

LEAVING CALVES WITH cows
AS Milk for First Four Days Is Unfit
for Human Consumption, Leave
Calf That Time.

Practical dairymen differ in their
opinion as to the length of time the
calf should be left with the cow. The
first milk. or colostrum, is necessary
to cleanse the digestive system of the
calf and get 1t in working order. The
younger a calf is taught to drink the
easier, but as the milk of the cow is
unfit for human consumption for at
least four days the calf may well be
left with the cow for that time. Also.
the udder of the cow is generally in
famed and often caked and the nursing
of the calf helps to relieve this condi-
ton.
