SAVING THE
Wounded

Test the nerves Of those Ameri-
cans evidently was the order given
to the German soldiers facing the
sector held by our boys in France, and
gas shells and all other methods were
used. Completely repulsed as the Ger
mans were, the test must have been
anything but reassuring to them
A correspondent talked with some
of the American soldiers wounded in
the attack. One youth, whose home
is in Savannah, Ga, and who looked
to be not more than IS years old,
made the following highly compli-
mentary reference to the American
Red Cross stretcherbearers and ambu-
lance drivers:
I've sure got to hand it to those
men with the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed to have but
one idea-to do their duty-and ap-
parently cared nothing for their own
lives while doing it. They were game
right to the core"
In this connection it may be said
that there are a certain number of
men who wear the Red Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If
anyone has thought that a Red Cross
ho+ GalJ
after the firing has ceased and brings
in the wounded, this statement by
soldier will correct the wrong impress
sion. Stretcher-bearers work under
fire-and the Germans have not hest
tated to fire upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him to the first aid station and sub
sequently to the hospitals, has given
great comfort to the American troops.
For the re-education of crippled and
mutilated French soldiers, 500 acre
farm, near Tours, in France, has been
obtained by the American Red Cross.
Here the use of farm machinery and
care of farm animals will be taught
Glare Arnett, former professor of
animal husbandry at the Montana
State Agricultural College, will be
the director of the farm, and M. Mar
chand, French farmer who has been
held a prisoner by the Germans for
thirty-seven months, will be chief of
Agriculture.

HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS
Human Food Than Any Other
Trouble Except Cholera

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
With the exception of hog cholera.
tuberculosis renders more pork unfit
for human food than any other disease
In 1916 under federal inspection, which
represents only 80 per cent of hogs
slaughtered in the United States, there
were found infected with tuberculosis
594. los hogs, which were condemned
in part or in whole, nearly as many
as were raised in the entire state of
New York for that year. Aside from
the monetary loss sustained from tu-
berculOSiS, the fact that it is transmits
sfble to the human makes it doubly
important that strict measures for it's
eradication be inaugurated
Hogs contract tuberculosis chiefly
from dairy cows, which are also very
subject to tuberculosis The disease
in COW infectS her milk system, her
lungs, and her throat with tubercle
bacilli-the germs which cause tuber-
culOsis in men and animals. Some of
these germs escape from the COW in
her milk or in her droppings. or she
may cough them out on feed or bed
ding. Hogs get the disease from the
raw milk or droppings, or feed infected
by tuberculous cow. PasteuriZed or
cooked milk will not pass the disease
from infected COWS to other animals
Therefore, to protect hogs from tu
berculosis and to make sure that the
feed Will be turned into meat instead
of into fertilizer
l. See that all milk, especially all
skim milk from the creamery is pas
teurized or cooked before it is fed to
the hogs.
2. Keep the hogs from following
dairy cattle, unless the cattle are tu-
berculin tested. Keep them out Of COW
lots and barns, and keep dairy drain
age out of hog lots. Hogs can follow
steers without much danger
3. Give healthy hogs a chance to
keep healthy. Give them clean, we'll
drained lots and plenty of fresh air,
sunlight, and clean water. Shelter
them in well-lighted and ventilated,
sanitary hog houses. Keep the houses
clean and use plenty Of whitewash
and disinfectants.
If there was tuberculosis in your
swine last year, it is safest to get rid
of the herd. especially the breeding
animals, and raise clean hogs from
fresh stock.

Poilu by the Red Cross is the install
lation of model electrical training
workshops az che National Profession
al Institute for War Cripples, at St.
Maurice. Other plans for training
him in skilled work are being devel-
oped.
The expansion of this educational
system is shown in a report to ma
tional Red Cross headquarters by Miss
Grace Harper, of Boston, chief of the
Red Cross bureau for the re-educa-
ton of mutilated soldiers. who has
just completed an inspection of French
schools of this type. A cablegram
from Robert Perkins, Red Cross Com
missioner to France, gives the fol-
lowing extract from Miss Harper's
report:
The mutilated soldier must and
should re-enter industry on a basis
of competition with able-bodied work
men. Cripples who have lost an arm
or leg and at first seem hopelessly
disabled can be taught many process
ses of industry such as running lathes
operating motor tractors, controlling
drills and other skilled operations.
The professions which offer the
greatest appeal are industrial draught
ing and design making for surgical
instruments, tools of precision, watch
etc"
The American Red Cross also will
in the United Stats similar
schools to teach new trades to Grip
pied American Soldiers.

SEVERE BLIZZARD

We cannot recall the time during
our residence in Grand Rapids when
we had such snow storm and biz
zard as we experienced here on Sat
urday night until Sunday morning. A
great amount of snow fell and it drift
ed so that it interferred with railroad
and other traffic. 1t was so severe
that it stignated business and travel
on foot was almost impossible. One
favorable feature was that it was not
very cold. We note by the press dis
patches that farther east in Ohio and
Indiana that there it was in the form
Of Tornado and did considerable
damage.

had the run Of an excellent rye mas
ture and was fed all they would con
sumo Of balanced ration of eornmeaI
middlings and tankage.
Lot one, settled on cornmeal and
tankage, made an average daily
gain of 1-61 pounds, or slightly more
rapid gains than lot two, which was
fed by the self-feed plan on sbelled
corn and tankage, and made daily gain
of Lob pounds. Both these lets made
more rapid gains than the pigs in lot
three, which were hand fed on corn
meal, middlings and tankage. Lot one.
however, required 81 pounds more
grain than lot two to produce 100
pounds Of gain. The most expensive
gains were made on lot three fthe
handled lott, where 369.1 pounds of
mixed feeds were required to produce
100 pounds of gain. The gains were
very profitable in all lots but shelled
corn and tankage settled produced
the best results.
These tests are borne out hv results
obtained at a number of state exDeri-
ment stations. In all nearly 600 pigs
have been used in tests at these sta
tons. and the results show clearly that
more rapid gains are obtained with
the self-feeder than by the best hand
feeding methods, partly owing to the
larger daily consumption of feed per
head, 8 pounds compared to 5.47
do
efficient use Of grain feed. These tests
show that the average daily gain per
head by the handled method was /. %
pounds, and by the settled method
1872 pounds. The average amount of
feed per 100 pounds of gain was 445
pounds by the handled method. and
AIT pounds by the settled methods.

PROTEIN ESSENTIAL TO SOW
Strength and Vigor at narrowing
Time Necessary for Young Animals
to Do Their Best.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Every hog grower knows that if he
is going to have pigs that will do
their best from the start they must
necessarily be strong and vigorous at
narrowing time. Proper care of the
brood sow usually insures such pigs,
and one essential included in this
proper care is feeding the brood SOW
a ration containing a good percentage
of protein.
Protein feeds in the form of shorts,
tankage, oil meal, or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and it is quite sue
cessful to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows
will eat larger percentage of alfalfa
hay fed in the ground form than
when fed in racks unground This
alfalfa is generally cheaper on the
corn-belt farms than any of the other
protein feeds and is a good balance
to the corn ration.

Young Pigs Helping Themselves.

the three feeds placed In separate
compartments of the Self-feeder. The

sisting of pounds of cornmeal, 4
pounds of middlings, and 1 pound of
tankage. They ate a total of 2,6945
pounds of feed and gained 675 pounds.
making an average daily gain of IA
pounds. 1t required 410.1 pounds Of
grain to produce 100 pounds of gain in
this lot. The settled pigs consumed
their feed in the following proportion
10 pounds of cornmeal, 2.S3 pounds of
-middlings and l pound of tankage.
They consumed a total Of 4,138 pounds
of feed and gained 1,01S pounds, MAX

pounds of grain to produce 100 pounds
of gain. Settled pigs made much more
rapid gains by consuming a larger
daily ration in proportion to live
weight than did the handled pigs, but

were divided equally, and both lots
had access to tankage in separate

Hogs are good judges of what they
ought to eat. They can select their
own ratiOns better than their feeder.
If permitted to do so they will eat the
right proportions of a number of feeds
necessary to make rapid gains, and,
strange TO say, they will make these
gains cheaper than if the ration Is
carefully measured out and fed to
them by a hog raiser. Numerous
tests in which the self-feeder and
handfeed methods of fattening hogs
have been compared show that the
marked success of the self-feeding
system is largely due to the fact that
the hogs will eat an abundance of those
feeds which will nourish them to the
best advantage.
Tests on Government Farm.
The United States department of ag-
riculture conducted two tests with the
self-feeder at the experiment farm at
Beltsyille, Maryland, and the results
obtained from these tests show why
self-feeders for fattening hogs are
gaining in popularity. In one test Is

A self-feeder is simply a de-
vice by means of which a sup
ply of grain or other feed is kept
constantly available to the hogs,
in order that they may always
satisfy the craving of their APP
petites with respect to the kind
and amount Of feed. The quick
est, the easiest, and most eco
nOmical method of fattening
pigs, with the least expenditure
Of grain and labor, is through
the use OF the self-feeder.
