prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In dealing with infectious diseases
of live stock. the average stockman
and farmer does not sufficiently real
ize the Importance of thoroughly dis
injecting his premises following an
outbreak Of contagious disease on his
farm or in his locality. Unless the
germs which cause the disease are de
strOyed, they have the power to main
tain themselves on premises for in
definite periods. So long as they thus
remain they are a constant menace and
may at any time be the cause of an
outbreak.
1t is but natural to acknowledge the
presence of only such objects as can
be seen with the unaided eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
microscope, has clearly proved the ex-
istence of numerous minute animal
and vegetable rganisms-micro-org
isms-and it is a matter of common
knowledge that many of these organ
isms frequently find their way into the
animal body and produce disease. II
is also well known that these micro
organisms, or germs, vary in form and
other characteristics and that for each
disease of an infectious nature there
is specific germ.
If these germs could be confined to
the animal body and die with it there
would be no such thing as an infec-
tious disease. Unfortunately, however,
they are thrown off by the animal
through the excretions and lie in the
soil, in the litter of stables, upon the
floor and walls, and in cracks and crew
ices. Here they may remain and main
tain their virulence for an indefinite
period, ready at any time to be gath
cred up by an animal In its feed or
to be blown about in dust and drawn
into the lungs.
For example, we have tuberculosis
in cattle and CHAMBERS in the horse.
In the former disease the causative
agent is a rod-shaped germ which av-
erages about one ten-thousandth of
an inch in length. Cattle affected with
tuberculosis pass myriads of these
germs with the manure, and it is not
difficult to understand how in the av.
erage stable they would have little
difficulty in finding many lodging
places.
In CHAMBERS the causative agent is
another rOd-shaped germ, about the
same length as the tuberculosis germ,
but somewhat thicker. A characters.

VIII Help Restore Forests

The American Forestry association

Great Britain, France and Belgium
cause in the war, Charles Lathrop
Pack, retiring president of the world
court league, said at a dinner In his
honor at New York. He said about
100000 acres of forest land in France
had been destroyed, that virtually all
Of Belgium's forests Of timber value
had been felled by the Germans and
that Great Britain's sacrifice in for
ests amount TO 100000 acres.

Cattle Affected With tuberculosis.

tic of this disease is the formation Of
ulcers in the nostrils and other por-
tons of the body, from which there is
more or less discharge laden with the
CHAMBERS germ. And here, again, ii
is not difficult to understand how one
diseased animal may contaminate ex.
tensive premises.
AS has been stated, some of these
minute forms are vegetable organisms.
In fact, these vegetable parasites are
the cause of some of the most destruc-
tive diseases, and some of them are
very difficult to destroy, for the rea.
son that they contain spores. A spore
may be likened to the seed of plant,
for it bears about the same relation to
the bacillus that a grain of wheat does
to the plant proper. AS the plant may
be destroyed and the seed remain
latent for an indefinite time, so de-
struction of the bacillus may be ac-
complished while the spores remain
unframed and retain life for weeks,
months or years.
An example of this class of organ
isms is seen in the agent which causes
anthrax. Ordinary methods for the
destruction of the bacillus viii not
destroy the spore as well, and thus
anthrax becomes a most difficult dis
ease TO eradicate. Upon farms where
animals have died from anthrax and
the carcaSses have been buried in
stead of destroyed, repeated outbreaks
of the disease may occur from time
to time, possibly extending over a
period of several years. This condi-
tion is due to the existence of the
very resistant spores. which under fav-
orable circumstances are carried to
the surface of the earth, and become
injecting organisms-much as the seed
of noxiOus weed. after remaining in
the soil during the winter, finds the
conditions favorable in the spring and
develops into a plant-except that
these minute forms of life multiply
with the most wonderful rapidity.
Thus it is that our increased knowl-
edge regarding micro-organisms or
bacteria as the cause Of many animal
diseases has emphasized the impor-
tance of disinfection.

History OF fairs IN Wisconsin.

Fistofy " airs IN WISCONSIN.
The county fair has been a great
educational factor IN the development
of the state of Wisconsin. The idea
was recognized by the first state leg
ishIture In 1S48, and, while the county
fair law has been changed and ex-
tended at many sessions, there has
never been a curtailment of the state
encouragement.
Almost every session Of the legisla-
ture considers county fair bills, but
the result has always been that the
financial aid has been increased.
Probably no single institution, unless
1t Is the college Of agriculture and the
farmers Institutes. has had such a
stimulating effect on better agricul-
ture and the adoption Of approved
methods Of farming as the county
fair. This latter opinion is expressed
by q. w. Vergeront, who has spent
years studying the problem.
In Wisconsin the greater number Of
county fairs owe their existence to
acts granting aids TO societies Of an
agricultural nature. Probably the
first movement in favor of agricul-
tural aid was the Introduction of a
bill in the first state legislature, on
July 81, 1S4S. The result of this step
was that constitution for a state
agricultural society was drawn up and
finally adopted on March z, 1849. The
society was established and held the
first state fair at GAINESVILLE, on 0c-
tober !, 1851. Later the organization
was Incorporated.
Many Wisconsin county fairs were
organized and held exhibitions before
they received state aid" says G. w.
Vergeront, In q thesis which he re-
Gently prepared ON the subject.
THE Kenosha Agricultural society
held the first county fair held in Wis
consin at Bristol, on October 10, 1850.
The next week the farmers of Wal
worth county heidi fair at East Troy.
Nine other associations held county
exhibitions before the act for the en-
cOuragement and promotion of agri-
culture was passed In 1856; Column
bia, Fond du Lac, Grant, Jefferson.
Sank, Sheboygan, Washington and
Waushara Agricultural societies were
the pioneers. This legislative act
gave groups of citizens power to form
agricultural societies, and draw up
constitutions and elect officers. One
hundred dollars was to be paid an
nually to the society which complied
with certain conditions"

Germans Ingenious In Smuggling and
 Thieving Methods

Cohlenz, July l4.-American off cers. who uncovered a plot involving wholesale thefts of food and other supplies, have notified the French government that American bacon has been reaching territory outside the occupied region in Germany in French railway cars. The army investiga-
 tors said they had information which led them to believe the bacon was sold to the French government for distribution to French civilians and they are anHious to learn if this bacon
 was sold to the Germans in legiti- mate manner. French and British authorities have been asked to CO., operate in the investigation.
 A surplus of bacon has been found recently in certain German districts
 beyond the Coblenz bridgehead. In enc instance, the American authori- ties traced two carloads of bacon and found they had been shipped back into the American area. Bacon is selling in the interior of Germany at from
 16 to 25 marks pound.
 Ingenious methods of smuggling tobacco through the neutral zone have been discovered and the preven- tion of these is giving the authori- ties trouble. Recently Americans found German freight car with a false top concealing thousands of cigarettes, which were confiscated. In another case. hundreds of pounds
 of chocolate and thousands of cigar cites were found covered with coal in a locomotive tender.

Italians Charge

(By the Associated Pre-

IBy the Associated Press.)
 Vienna, Saturday, July 12.-Fiume, recently the scene of disorders be- tween Italian and French troops, is quiet with the Italian provost-mar- shal maintaining order, according to reports received here. A few Italian soldiers and carabiniers, are seen on the streets. The French remain in their barracks and come out only to drill. Two French and two Italian warships are anchored in the harbor.
 The city, it is said, is placarded with handbills reading "Italy or death" American relief officers are in the city.
 The Italians, the report adds, have been claiming for months that the French were meddline in their affairs, declaring that if the Italians had med dled in Alace and Lorraine or else where it would have been looked upon as presumptuous by the French.
