about a tablespoonful of oil in some
milk daily for three or four days.
But even so, why should vitamin
Z be deficient in certain areas and
not in others, why deficient in 1912
and not in 1913? We have been
watching this since about 1922. May
be we will find out some day, but
at this moment it is really a puzzle.
PUPPY kidney disease (~entero-tox-
emia) of lambs is another puzzler.
Each spring someone reports
losses of lambs, not many, just one
or two a day, but always the best
lambs, big singles, the ones that are
growing and thriving. These lambs
die suddenly, and are usually found
dead. Very few ranchers report hav-
ing seen any symptoms of illness
just a fine, big lamb found dead.
On postmortem, among other
things, we find that the kidney
seems to have completely degenerat-
ed. Normally the kidney is light
brown, firm, rather rubbery, a very
solid organ. In these lambs, the kid
neys are swollen, dark colored and
mushy, easily crushed in the fingers.
This disease is caused by a bacil-
lus that is a first cousin of the black
leg bacillus, and as blackleg often
hits the best and biggest calves, SO
this pulpy kidney disease kills the
best lambs. The same germ some
times kills fat lambs in the feed lots,
especially the greedy eaters, the
ones that are just a little fatter than
the others.
There is a very effective serum
for this lamb disease, not too ex-
pensive, which can be given to
lambs as soon as the disease appears
in a bunch, and will quite effective
ly stop losses. The sheepman doesn't
have to treat all his lambs, just the
big thrifty single lambs. We do not
see twins affected, nor the pee
wees nor stunted lambs, nor just the
average lambs. Any veterinarian can
get the serum in a day or two and
the sheepman can administer it. The
disease sometimes shows up when
the lambs are only 10 days to 2
weeks old.
We can't understand why such
young lambs are affected, nor why
it hits one outfit here and another
there, maybe just for one season and
never again.
Golfer in lambs and calves is an
other -exasperating disease, even il
we are able to entirely prevent its
occurrence. Presumably caused by q
deficiency of iodine in feed and wa
ter, it varies widely in its occurrence
from year to year and in animals
affected in one season. In one season
it may affect the lambs, the mex
year only the pigs, then skip a cou
pie of years entirely, then return t
plaster big golfers or every young
animal born that spring.
We know that the use of iodize,
salt through the winter will guaran

spring, but that doesn't solve tn
question. If a shortage of iodine i

Reds Reported Refusing
To Discuss Compromise

PEIPING, Jan. II @.-Trust-
worthy reports from Tientsin today
said Communist besiegers had re-
fused to discuss compromise and
demanded complete surrender Of the
North China industrial city.
The Tientsin sources said four
members of the City Council asked
the Reds for a cease-fre order. The
Communists sent them back with a
demand for complete surrender of
Nationalist forces in the Tientsin
area, these sources said.
The Red ultimatum repeatedly in
dicated they were not disposed to
bargain, and wanted a clear cut
"yes" or no" from the Nationalist
forces within "a hours.
Other reports here said the Reds
shelled the city last night, after
the surrender ultimatum was given,
and quite few casualties" result
ed. No estimate was given on the
number.
The shelling suggested to observ-
ers here, 90 miles northwest of
Tientsin, that the Communists
found the Nationalists' reaction to
their demand unsatisfactory.
1t was presumed that the Tientsin
council delegates on a reported Sec
ond trip into Communist territory
tried to bargain instead of agreeing
to utright surrender of the city,
swollen by war refugees to 5000 600
persons.

Reds 10 Return US. Cruiser
On Receipt Of Italian Ship
By the Associofed Press

The American cruiser Milwaukee,
which patrolled the famed Muir
mansk run under Russian colors, is
coming home at last.
Diplomatic authorities said yes
terday the SSviets have agreed to
return the 26-year-old warship
when the italians hand over to
them the cruiser Duca d'Aosta as
part of Rome's naval reparations to

The Milwaukee was loaned to

warships to bolster the Red feet.
Return of the American and Brit
ish vessels has been held up pend

IS vessels under the Italian Peace
Treaty Of 1947, but the Americans
and British renounced their share.
The exact date of the Milwaukee, S

Rome. A Russian crew then will
sail the 6,030-ton cruiser to Lewes,

turn three large icebreakers and %
