Among the applicants for enlistment In the marine corps the other day was a man with a wooden leg. He gave a demonstration to show that his arti ficial member could be unscrewed with such celerity as to make It equally useful as a baseball bnt with which to wallop the pill In the regimental series or as a war club with which to clout blockheads In raids on the Ger man trenches. In swinging at the domes of Huns rising stealthily from dugout doors It wouldn't matter if a man did have a wooden leg so long as he had his bat ting eye with him. Winning the war, however, Is not a matter of battering brains out, but of hammering sense In. It is not a ques tion of knocking on wood, but of open ing the eyes of the blind. It will take more than wooden legs to wind up tlje affairs of the Hohen tollern regime.—Exchange. Accounting for It. "That young officer seems very blue." "That may be because he Is a submarine."

"Thereto a Beeson" THyorm TflE Mhîüü& TREATMENT FOR MILK FEVER All Dairymen Should Be Prepared to Administer Simple and Successful Remedy to Cows. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) In view of the fact that milk fever Is a very common disease affecting cows, particularly the heaviest milkers in the large dairy district, it Is of great Importance that dairymen ac quaint themselves with the present ex tremely successful methods of treat ment. The disease more frequently attacks well-nourished, fleshy, heavy-milking cows. It occurs during the most ac tive period of life (fourth to sixth calf), and is characterized by a sudden onset and complete paralysis. One at tack does not render the animal Im mune. It generally follows closely the act of calving and terminates in a short time (usually from 18 to 72 hours) either In recovery or death. While the disease may occur at any time during the year, It is seen prin cipally during the warm summer sea gqn. If is rarely, if ever, met with In pure beef breeds. At the commencement of an attack there Is usually excitement, the spe cialists say. The cow is restless, treads with the hind feet, switches the tall, and walks about uneasily. These symp toms are followed within a few hours by partial paralysis, indicated by a staggering gait, especially In the hind legs. The animal then becomes qui eter, more weak, and Anally falls down, unable to rise. While down the animal assumes a very characteristic position, which Is a great aid In diagnosis. The head Is turned around to the side (usually the left) and rests on the chest. On the day following the onset of the disease, and in some cases even within a few hours, the animal may be up eating and drinWng in a normal manner. In fatal cases the animal may remain perfectly quiet, being com pletely paralyzed, until death. ' The treatment consists of injecting air through sterile absorbent cotton, preferably Impregnated with carbolic acid. Into the teats by means of a specially designed syringe. Soap and water should first be applied to the teats and udder, after which they should be carefully disinfected with a five per cent solution of carbolic acid (three tablespoonfuls to one quart of water). Then Inser: the syringe In the teats and force air in eacl) quar ter of the udder. After one-fourth of the udder Is well distended with fil tered air a broad plede of tape should be tied about the teat to prevent the air from escaping. In case the air becomes absorbed and no Improvement Is noted within five hours, a repetition of this treatment should be made un der the same antiseptic precautions as the first, each quarter of the udder being filled. The air should be left In the udder for 24 hours, and when the recovery Is assured it should be grad ually milked out. It Is best to secure the services of a veterinarian for this treatment, but this Is not necessary If the dairyman or farmer has proper equipment and takes due precautions.

POISONING STOPS LARGE CROP LOSS Co-operation Among Farmers and All Authorities Concerned Is Necessary. CAMPAIGN IN NORTH DAKOTA More Than 5,000,000 Acres Treated In North Dakota and Saving of $V 000,000 Accomplished—Many Counties Organized. Crops worth more than $150,000,000 are destroyed every year by such ro dents as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, rabbits, field mice and rats and woodchucks. This heavy toll does not include loss inflicted by house mice and rats. That the losses due to rodents constitute an entirely unneces sa^r drain upon the productive capac ity* of the farms and that they may be permanently eliminated at a cost which is but a small fraction of the damage occasioned during a single year has been proved by the extensive work al ready accomplished in campaigns con ducted by the Biological Survey of the United States department of agricul ture in co-operation with state and county organizations. Community co-operation will do the work. Rodent pests have been prac tically eliminated from millions of acres of valuable agricultural land In the last four years through the co-op eration of thousands of Tanners. De scribing these campaigns federal spe cialists declare that the eagerness with which farmers have availed themselves of the opportunity to join in concerted qiovements aimed at relief from these pesis. is most significant and gratify ing. while the returns in increased crop yields from the amount of labor and money invested In the community campaigns have exceeded all expecta tions. A successful fight against ro dent pests requires that all local, state and national agencies concerned be brought into harmonious and effective co-operation and that modern poison ing methods of proved efficiency be used. Work In North Dakota. In the great grain-producing areas of North Dakota there has been devel oped the most extensive and thorough ly organized campaign with a compre hensive plan of state-wide eradication of rodent pests that has yet been at tempted. This campaign was organ ized under a co-operative project agree ment between the bureau of biological survey and the states relation servie* of the United States department of agriculture and the North Dakota agri cultural experiment station and exten sion service, including the county agent The state legislature organization. provided a revolving fund available for use In procuring and maintaining the required stock of poison supplies. Many Gophers Killed. The Initial campaign vyns launched against the Richardson ground squir rel, commonly known "gopher." In many places poisoning resulted In the killing of 98 per cent of the animals on the first application. Entire counties were organized In a systematic voluntary warfare upon the rodents, using the township as a con- I renient working unit. Poisoned grain locally as was prepared in quantity, placed In plainly marked containers and distrib uted to farmers, who then applied It according to directions around the ground-squirrel burrows on their farms. More than 5,000,000 acres were treat ed with poison in 1916. During the spring of 1917 16,000 farmers in North Dakota joined in this movement. The ground squirrels were poisoned on ■1,500,000 acres, resulting in a practical elimination of the pest in the areas treated and a saving in the year's crop of more than $1,000,000. Including hire of labor to distribute the poison, the cost averages less than 5 cents per acre under North Dakota conditions, and where landowners perform the la bor the actual cash outlay per acre Is materially reduced. Co-operative Campaigns. In other states co-operative cam paigns have been effective against other pests, such as prairie dogs and jack rabbits. As suggested by the cam paigns which have already been con ducted effectively, these five important features essential to ultimate success are named by specialists of the depart ment of agriculture: (1) Co-operation of all agencies Involved, Including farmers, local organizations, county, state, and federal officials; (2) lead ership trained and experienced In methods of rodent control and In or ganization ; (3) a unit plan to systema tize activities and cover a sufficiently large territory to prevent reinfesta tion ; (4) financial support to procure supplies In large quantities; and (5) of pests upon neglected areas. HARM FROM RODENTS IS COUNTRY-WIDE Food-destroying rodents are common throughout the United States. In states west of the Mississippi river prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, rabbits, cotton rats and field mice have taken a continually Increasing toll from the crops of wheat, oats, corn, barley and other cereals, alfalfa, potatoes, beans, fruit, melons and almonds and from pasture ranges. States east of this boundary have suf fered heavily from the depreda tions of rabbits, woodchucks and meadow pine and white-footed mice In gardens, field and truck crops, orchards and vineyards.
