Stockman will bother to read this
article.
Yet we have a lot of blackleg
losses every year. There already
have been some during August and
there will be more in September and
October. The loss of a 400-pound
calf, contracted at % cents, is bad
enough, but to lose calves from a
cause that could have been pre-
vented, makes it tougher. The vac
cine is so dependable, its cost so low,
its use so universally recognized as
a vital matter, that a case of black
leg should be rare. Instead, blackleg
is a fairly common disease.
May Affect Older Stock
BIackleg is a disease of calves and
yearlings, the great bulk Of the
cases occurring between the ages
of 6 and Is months. There are freak
cases, of course. We once saw a
Jersey heifer and her calf, both dead
of blackleg on the same day. The
heifer was just 2 years old and the
calf 2 months old. We saw a Short
horn bull dead of blackleg at az
years. There have been a few cases
reported in 4 and ~5-year-old cows,
but 9 out of 10 cases develop be-
tween the first September and the
second December of a calls life. A
husky, growing calf of Z or 5 months,
when the nights begin to get frosty,
is blackleg bait, though one of the
worst messes of blackleg we ever
saw broke on. the Fourth of July
with losses in calves of 8 months ano

Most cases of blackleg are found
dead. The story over the telephone

An illustration lies in the un-
fortunate experience of Patric
Knowles. 1t was his resemblance
to Enrol Flynn that brought Pat
to Hollywood in 1886, to play
Flynn's brother in The Charge
of the Light Brigade" after he
had made his bow on the London
stage and had appeared in British
pictures for two years.
Now Hitting Stride
His second American film,
robin Hood" cast Knowles in
another secondary role with
Flynn, and throughout the life
of his Warner Brothers contract
Knowles was relegated to second
leads, so that he would not con-
stitute a threat to the studios
Number One male property.
Only now, seven years after
he came to Hollywood, is
Knowles hitting his stride as a
leading man. Since signing a
Paramount contract Knowles has
played top roles in five films,
including Dream Girl" which
will be released shortly. Pat is
currently the male lead in Para
mounts isn't 1t Romantic"
which also stars Veronica Lake,
Mary Hatcher, Mona Freeman,
Billy DeWolfe and Rolan d
Culver.
Despite his experience,
Knowles bears no rancor toward
Flynn. On the contrary, they are
close pals.
Raft Had Trouble
Few look-alikes can be found
anywhere on studio rosters, al
though there are exceptions
Warren Williams resemblance to
the late John Barrymore, for ex
ample, is held responsible for
Williams delayed success in
films. George Raft had similar
trouble in getting started in
films when he first came to Hol-
tlywood. His close resemblance to
the late Rudolph Valentino kept
George off the screen for a long
time.
Resemblance occasionally is re-
sponsible for certain castings, as
in June Haver's assignment with
Betty Cradle in "The Dolly Sis.
ters," the film which established
June as star. More often, how
ever, lookalikes are kept apart.
Thus Mary Martin was never
cast with Claudette Colbert,
Myrna 10y never appeared in
the same film with Ruth HuSsey,
and Virginia Welles, Hollywood
starlet, undoubtedly will never
appear with Jean Arthur.
