TO PREVENT DREAD DISEASE
Foot-and-Mouth Allment Need Not Be
Feared If French Serum Proves
Reliable.

The dread foot-and-mOuth disease
will no longer be feared by cattlemen
IL the announcement of the discovery
of serum for the prevention of this
disease by a group Of French scien-
lists, proves reliable and If this serum
can be manufactured In sufficient
quantities. Several outbreaks Of the
disease haye occurred in the United
States, the last Of them several years
ago, causing a great loss. The only
effective method Of stamping out the
disease heretofore has been to slaugh-
ter all cattle affected and thoroughly
dlsinfoct the premises,

atable Feeding Material for Cows.
cations are that no bad effects follow
the feeding of dried-apple pOmace.
There was no decrease in the milk
flow nor in the yield of butterfat.
When fed as described the dried
pomace appeared to be equal, pound
for pound of dry matter, to good corn
silage as a succulent food for this
dairy COW. Owing to the property
which it possesses of absorbing large
quantities of water and swelling, it
should never be fed dry, but should
be allowed to soak in water for an
hour or so before feeding. The
pOmace appears to be palatable feed
ing stuff.
Caution is advised in feeding dried
apple pomace, as there is a possibility
that the feeding of large quantities, or
of quantities containing excessive
amounts of apple seeds, might prove
injurious. It appears to be safe, how
ever, to feed as much soaked pOmace
by weight Gone part dried pOmace to
three parts water) as 1t would be to
feed the same amount Of pOmace fresh
from the cider press.

TWELVE STATES HAVE
MINIMUM WAGE LAWS.

The fixing Of wage rates by
law is a practice that is quite
general in a number of coun-
tries where men as well as wom-
en- come within the scope of the
laws. In the United States min
imum wage laws are found in
IL states, the District Of Column
bia and Porto Rico, but they are
applicable to only women and
minors. The United States De-
partment of Labor, through its
bureau Of labor statistics, has
just issued as bulletin No. 285
an account of the minimum
wage legislation Of the United
States, including its legal con-
struction and It's operation in
the different jurisdictions. Rates
are usually fixed by a board or
commission, though in Arizona
and Utah the law itself names
the rate. The industries COW
cred may be few or many, ac-
cording to the terms of the law.
Wisconsin covers all employ
ments with a single order, while
California has nine and Massa-
chusetts 10 orders applicable to
as many Industries or classical
lions.

Council Accepts
State Audit on
Steel Railway
City to Use Railway Commits.
sion's Valuation in Fight
ing Increase in Troll
ley Rates.

The city council concurred yes
terday in the recommendation OF
Corporation Counsel w. c. Lambert
that the city accept the physical val
uation and audit of the state railway
commission in the street railway rate
case which is pending, instead OF
making an independent valuation.
This will save the city considerable
money and time and, Mr.. Lambert
believes. will serve the best interests
of the city in its resistance of the
traction company's application for
higher rates.
1T is a question of whether the
city would be justified in going to
this expense of making an indepen-
dent valuation and audit in view Of
the action of the state railway COM
mission" said Mr.. Lambert. Il feel
that any independent valuation we
might make would be duplicate ef-
fort. 1t is my sincere belief that the
results obtained by the state railway
commissions engineering organiza-
ton would be entirely satisfactory to
the city. The railway commissioners
assured me that the city may have
access to their valuation and audit.
State in Good Faith.
"1f you are convinced of the good
faith of the engineering staff of the
railway commission, then | agree
that it would be a duplicate effort
for the city to make an independent
valuation" said Commissioner Zim-
man.
II am convinced of the good faith
of the state commission in this mat
ter" replied the corporation counsel.
"The recent electric light and
power hearing showed corclusively
that if a regulatory body will pro-
tect the peoples interests, substan-
tial reductions may be obtained"
continued Commissioner Zimman. II

before they are taken away from
their mothers.
A pair of clean hands, a sharp
knife, a stiff brush and pail Of dis
infectant are the only things needed
for successful operation. Each pig
should be washed off with the brush
and disinfecting solution after which
the incision may be made. Recon-
mendations by the department indi-
cate that the cuts should be made up
and down, one on each side Of the
mid-line and well toward the bottom
of the scrotal sack so that the wound
will drain out freely. The testicle
may then be seized between the
thumb and forefinger and the corn
and blood vessel scraped into with
the knife. The wound should be dis
infected after the operation.

Well Sharpened Plow
Does the Best Work

Soft center steel plows will do the
spring job Of blowing better if they
are taken to blacksmith shop and
sharpened before the blowing be-
gins, according to ]. B. Kelley, head
Of the farm engineering section of
the Kentucky State College of Agri-
culture. The plows should be sharp
ened by being heated and then drawn
out on an anvil with hammer, care
being taken to see that the proper set
is given and that the point is turned
down the same amount that it was
when the pillow was new. The point of
the pillow should also be turned out
from the Landslide in order to give
the pillow the proper suction. The
exact amount Of this turning will
depend upon the size Of the pillow.
This amount can be determined by
borrowing new pillow share from
the dealer and setting the resharp-
ened point according to the dimen-
sions Of the unused one. Care must
he taken by the blacksmith to see
that the share is not warped in the
sharpening, since this viii make it
fit the mouldboard improperly and
hinder securing.
In case the farmer has pillow with
chilled point the best way to put
this in good condition for the spring
work is to buy new point.
Discs will also do better work if
taken to the blacksmith shop and
sharpened before they are to be used.
These may be filed off, but this is a
slow process.

CreoIine Will Control
Gaps" in Chicks

Burning the dead chicks and all
worms removed from them, keeping
chicks confined until the dew is off
the grass and adding three drops Of
creolin to each pint Of water which
the youngsters drink, are the three
recommendation made by the poul-
try department Of the Kentucky
State College Of Agriculture for the
control of "gaps," the most common
of chick ailments.
Chicks which are affected with
gaps show the trouble by sneezing,
gaping and shaking their heads. They
soon become weak, droop their wings
and lag behind. This trouble is caus-
ed by little worm that fastens it
self to the windpipe Of the chick
and feeds on the blood. The female
lays large number Of eggs which
are expelled when she dies and under
normal conditions hatch in from two
to four weeks. For this reason heal
thy chicks should never be allowed
on infected ground.
The newly Matched "gap" worms
crawl up on the grass blades when
the latter are covered with dew. The
chicks become infected when they
pick these blades of grass. If the
chicks are not allowed out until the
dew is off the grass the chances
of infection will be decreased, since
the worms cannot live where there is
no moisture.
The addition of three drops Of
creolin to the drinking water will kill
the worms attached in the mouth.
These down in the windpipe can
only be killed by removing with a
horse hair or stripped blue grass
stem. .ii !
