SHOULD GUARD AGAINST
INJURIES TO LIVESTOCK

BOHEMIAN, Sept. 21-Livestock in
juries levy heavy toll on the dairy
mans income and practically all of it
can be prevented.
j. o. Tretsven, extension dairy spec
ialist at Montana State College, says
that death losses are the ones which
seem the hardest to bear and yet it is
the small injuries that make the total
loss SO huge. Injured dairy cows make
poor gains, develop improperly and
produce less milk and butterfat. Most
of the causes of injuries can be con-
trolled or removed, he declares
Among the more common causes ct
injuries which Tretsven cautions
against are loose barbed wire and
rickety fences. Cows become entangled
cut their teats, udder and feet Loose
lumber, broken gates and stalls usually
are accompanied by loose nails which
form another hazard for the dairy
COW to avoid Machinery, both new and
discarded in the dairy lot or pasture
causes many cuts, bruises and snags.
Nails and pieces of baling wire are
very dangerous around the feed lot.
1t is easy for a COW to swallow them
with the hay. Poorly constructed or
repaired stalls sometimes cause in
juries by the COW becoming entangled
in the rope, or fastening device. An
other danger is that OF getting loose
and eating too much grain or feed
about the barn. Broken milk bottles
constitute another danger.
A good many cases Of bloat may be
traced to poor fences which permit
the cattle to break into fields and
gorge themselves on grains.
Poisonous products such as paint
paris green, arsenate of lead and
gopher poison left about the barn and
farnstead cause many losses. Turning
the cattle out on good highways or on
the railroad right of way also causes
losses.
These are a few Of the causes OF
losses which Tretsven regards as avoid
able and he points out that the dairy
man who watches these things has I
distinct advantage over those who dc
not Every loss prevented is that much
more added to the income.

Land Once Considered
Only Source Of Wealth

Trade. the great adventure OF today,
once was considered a degrading oc-
cnpation, unfit for ".entlefolk. The
ambition of the mercantile class Of the
Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries
was to become landed proprietors.
Thus investment OF their surplus funds
almost invariably ran to landed estates
to which they or their heirs eventually
might retire and, as one historian puts
II, shake the slime Of trade from their
feet"
Gradually there came change, how
ever. as trade became more and more
necessary in the scheme OF things, as
explorers opened UP ever greater and
richer territory. AS early as the Six
teenth century the efficiency Of united
effort and capital had become demon
strated and the organization Of such
great companies as the Levant, the
East India and the Iiudson's Bay
proved that fortunes could be made in
something besides land. These COM
panies. developed principally by the
mercantile classes. soon became EN-
pires In themselves-in which even
royalty might participate without
counting the usual stigma attached to
trade.

SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE.
Scolytidae Family.


ScoIytidae Family.
~ UR Christmas trees and pine
forests have O very determined
enemy. When droughts come
~ this little bark beetle, known
as the southern pine beetle
attacks our weakened trees. About this
time you will hear of an outbreak OF
this destroyer, and, as the family grows
quickly to an alarming degree, the dam
age is done before We are aware OF
the fact they are again on the job.
Heavy rains and cold weather all but
wipe out the family, but, let favorable
conditions for them turn up, and we
will have another hungry horde IN our
pine forests. Thousands Of trees are
killed and millions of dollars are lost
through this tiny pine beetle.
When you see pine tree with vel
lowish-green foliage, the chances are
the beetle has been domiciled there for
two weeks. If the color has turned to
brownish-green we know that the
beetle is well established in that tree,
and later, when the foliage is reddish
brown, this tells us that the beetle is
full-grown, and under the bark may
be found his S galleries. About the
tree trunk and at the base OF the tree
little piles of red sawduSt are in plain
view.
A fungus now develops, which stains
the tree to the heartwood. 1t soon dies
and will have practically no marketable
value. All over the bark Of the tree will
be thousands of tiny pin holes. These
are its exits. Under the bark the gal
lerieS mark the surface of the wood.
The southern pine beetle is a great
flyer. Only rain and cold weather keep

to indulge in this bad habit, take q walk
before bedtime, then o warm bath to
induce sleepiness.
Second. Sleep in q well ventilated
room with dark shades that can be
drawn partly down to exclude light. A
good way to tell whether or not you
have had enough windows open during
the night Is to shut the room door after
you get up. Dress and 60 outdoors for
few moments. Return to your room
and II 1t smells stui9y you may Be sure
that you have not had enough fresh
air during sleep.
Third. Sleep alone, If possible, on q
bed with coil springs and q mattress
that 10 soft enough 70 yield to the pres.
sure Of your body, but not soft enough
to let you sink deep into it. Use light
weight coverings.
Fourth. Use q low pillow that Just

pillows cause postural defects. II In not

Needless to say, night clothing should
be very roomy.
Fifth. Remember that adequate sleep
is essential TO health and beauty. Girls
from IL to IL years of age need 10 to
1917 hours of sleep each night. Those

it within doors. It is small. rather
brown or black. and not over an eighth
of an inch long. 1t bores into the
upper portions of healthy pines as well
as sick ones. It bores through the bark
and excavates long winding galleries in
the shape of an S, all under the living
bark and on the surface Of the wood.
Neat little stations or alcoves may be
found in the galleries where the eggs
are placed. They soon hatch and the
little greedy grubs hasten to eat their
fill of the inner bark. After this they
dig little rooms and take rest. In
seven to ten days they turn into full
grown beetles and stroll out of the tiny
doorways. They look about for q
promising tree and set up housekeep-
ing Soon another brood of beetles Is
eating away on another tree.
There are from three to five genera
tons a year. Flight from tree to tree
begins in the early Spring. Six months
later the pine Is dead. Thirty to forty
days are needed for the beetle to COM
plete its growth.
Woodpeckers may be seen searching
the tree trunk for the juicy grub. They
are not numerous enough to give us
the desired assistance we need. The
infested trees must be felled and burn
ed, and the broods prevented from
developing. This is the only way TO
save our pine forests from this beetle.

WHY Girls Leave College.

We are always curious why men leave
home, Why boys marry contrary to
parental wishes and why this one or
that one does something else, yet none
of these. why's" is more significant
than "why girls leave college" The
reason, as many may not have sup
posed. is that the majority Of them
lack funds to continue.
Once in a while some girls misstep

of individuals SO desperate that they
would steal to secure funds for their
Schooling. These tragedies are all the
more lamentable because they are
avoidable.
Every parent has the means Of know.
ing lust what her child's schooling will
cost EITHER she can finance her child's
education in part or in full. 1t Is un-
fair and cruel, however, to send child

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER,

Some persons seem 10 think that
when one has to work hard TO get
ready for vacation, the vacation isn't
worth while. The amount of benefit
gained by the rest does not seem to be
worth the additional fatigue and anxiety
caused by the preparations.
But this Is seldom really the case.
Even II people do have to work extra
hard to get their daily work into con-
dition so that they can leave 1t, the
effect produced by change Of scene and
air Is Of enormous value. They may
feel only Q little direct benefit. But
the fatigue and WEAKNESS of working
through the entire year without change
or vacation would be much greater than
that caused by preparing for the holi-
day.
The first DAYS of the vacation are
not the ones when the DEMENT'S of the
change are felt. 1t is natural to feel
stupid and languid then, as a reaction.
1t is necessary to rest lot on those
first few days to get caught up on ac-
cumulated fatigue. 1t is In the later
days Of the vacation that the real bene-
fits of the change and rest are apparent
Besides that, any change Of air great
enough to be a real benefit is great
enough to be trying at first. Nobody
should expect to feel the good results of
a vacation until after four or five days
have elapsed.
