DlsINfEcTIoN is NECESSARY
Spread Rapidly and Live for
Long Time.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Asriculture)
In dealing with infectious diseases
of live stock, the average stocSman
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 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 unalded eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
microscope, has clearly proved the ex-
istcnce of numerous minute animal
and vegetable rganisms-micro-org
isms--and it Is matter of common
knowledge that many of these organ
isms frequently find their way into the
animal body aud 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 n specific germ.
II 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
door 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 it's 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 rod-shaped germ Which av-
'erages about one ten-th<risandth OF
an inch Ia length. Cattle affected with
tuberculosis pass f4fyriads of these
germs with tle~Hhhnure, and 1t is not

difEulty in finding many lodging

In CHAMBERS the causative agent Is

Then 1t all flashed over me In an In

from the trench loaded down with
small oblong boxes. Each Tommy, in
Guiding myself, received one. They
were presents from the queen Of Eng
land, and each box Contained small
plum pudding, cigarettes. a couple Of
cigars, matches and chocolates. Every
soldier in the British army received
one Of these boxes on Christmas day.
At last Sailor Bill announced that
Christmas dinner was ready and we
lost no time in getting to our respec
tive packs, sitting around in circle.
Smith was the only absentee, and his
parcels and letters, still unopened,
were on his pack. He was now a half
hour overdue.
Sailor Bill, noting our eagerness to
begin, held up his hand and said:

ulcers In the nostrils and other por-
tons of the body, from which there is
more or less discharge laden with the

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-

better to wait few minutes more for
Smith,"
We all assented, but in our hearts
we were cursing him for his delay.
Ten minutes passed-flfteen-the
twenty. All eyes were turned in Sailor
Bill's direction. He answered our looks
with:
go to 1t, boys, we can't wait for
Smith. I don't know what's keeping
him, but you know his name is in or
ders for leave and perhaps he is SO
tickled that he's going to see his wife
and three little nippers In Blighty. that
he's lost his bearings and has run
aground"
We started in and waxed merry for
a few minutes. Then there would be
an uncomfortable pause and all eyes
would be turned in the direction of
the vacant place.
Uneasiness seemed to prevail.
Suddenly the entrance to the dug
out was darkened and a form came
stumbling down. With one accord we
all shouted:
'Come on, Smith, you're missing one
OF the best Christmas dinners of your
life."
Our sergeant entered the dugout.
One look at his face was enough. We
knew he was the bearSr Of i'll tidings.
With tears In his eyes and catch in
his voice, he asked:
(which is Smiths pack? We all
solemnly nodded our heads in the d.
rection Of the vacant place. Without a
word the sergeant picked up the let
tiers, parcels and pack and started to
leave the dugout.
Sailor Bill could stand it no longer,
and just as the sergeant was about to
leave he asked:
"Out with it, sergeant, what's hap
pened?"
The sergeant turned around. and In
a choking voice, said:
Boys, Smiths gone west. Some
bloody German sniper got him through
the napper as he was passing that
bashed-in part in Yiddish street"
Sailor Bill calculated:
Poor old Smith. Gone vest" Then
he paused and sobbsd ont: MY God.

pers waiting in Blighty for him to
come home for the Christmas holi-
days"
believe that right at that moment Il
solemn vow OF vengeance registered
itself in every heart around that fes
tive circle.
The next day we buried Smith in a
little cemetery behind the lines. While
standing around his grave our artillery
suddenly opened up with an intense
bombardment on the German lines.

overhead. we sent a prayer of ven
geance with II.

ORGANIZED MILITIA
URGED BY BAKER
Wants Guard to Revert to

Special Despatch to THn sux.

WARRINGTON, May 10. National
Guard organizations throughout the
country are to be sanctioned and en-
couraged by the War Department, ac-
cordlng to Secretary of War Baker.
The expectation of the Department Is
these organizations, which were taken
into the Federal service during the war,
practically will revert to their old pre-
war status.
In explaining the situation to-day Sec
rotary Baker took the Sixty-ninth New
York as an example. There were two
distinct steps in the procedure OF bring
ing these National Guardsmen into Fed
eral service. he said. The first being
when the Government called the Ma
tional Guard into Federal service as a
whole and the second when President
Wilson drafted the individual services
OF the members of the Sxty-ninth.
Technically when these men are re-
leased now they do not revert back
automatically to the status Of National
Guardsmen, but Mr.. Baker said there
was no reason why the individual mem
bers could not again Join the National
Guard. obtain Federal recognition and
support in the prescribed manner and
bring back the Sixty-ninth to Its original
pre-war status. Mr.. Baker added that
he hoped this would be done.
