SECRETARY REVIEWS EFFORTS TO CHECK SPREAD0F DISEASE Department of Agriculture Issues Statement Discussing Cause of Outbreak and Preventative Means Used.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. The secetary of agriculture has issued the tallowing statement regarding the .'oot-and-mouth disease: The present outbreak ot the foot-ind-mouth disease, which is one of he most contagious and destructive iiseases of cattle, swin and sheep, exceeds in the area affected and of he five previous outbreaks in this :ountry. Unless the infection can be mmediately localized and quickly radicated, it threatens untold losses imong live stock. So contagious is the disease that in ast outbreaks where but one animal n a herd was affected, the entire lerd in almost all cases later contacted the sickness. While the morality is not high the effects of the lisease even on animals that recover ire such as to make them practically iseless. They lose flesh rapidly; in he case of cows, the milk dries up or is made dangerous for human consumption; in the case of breeding anmals, the animal once infected bemonies valueless for breeding, as it nay continue to be a constant carrier f contagion. Step All Movements. As a result of the give outbreaks in his country, and other disastrous epidemics of the disease in Europe and JJreat Brittain, veterinary authorities jf the United States are agreed that ;he only method of combating the disease is to stop all movement of stock ind material which have been subjected to any danger of infection, and to kill off without delay all herds in which the disease has gained any "oothold. This enables the authorises to eradicate affected herds and to isolate and hold under observation all suspected herds. Por these reasons, the department of agriculture has already quarantined twelve states for the foot-and-mouth disease. The federal quarantine prevents all interstate movement of stock and materials likely to carry the infection. At the same time the state ' authorities are imposing local quarantines which prevent the passage of ! animals from farms or localities known to be infected to other localities in the name state in which the disease has not appeared. Each infected herd, as rapidly as the disease is discovered, is killed and the dead animals buried in a covering of lime. The skins of Hie animals are slashed so as to permit the rapid action of the lime. Reimburse Owners. The owners of the slaughtered animals is reimbursed on a basis of the appraised value of the herd, the appraiser being appointed by the state. The expense of the whole process of condemnation and disinfection is divided equally between the federal and state governments. Until the entire premises have been thoroughly disinfected and all danger of spreading the disease removed, the farm is quarantined by local authorities in the same way in which it would be for a contagious human disease. This local quarantine prevents the visit of individuals or the transfer of any produce or animals from the farm to other farms. The first effort of the department is to discover and segregate all animals sick with the disease or that have been exposed. To this end, the federal and state inspectors are now tracing up, through bills of lading and railroad records, all shipments of live cattle which have been made during the last sixty days out of any of the infected or suspected districts. The herds of animals so shipped are located and immediately examined by veterinarians. Similarly, the numbers of all oars' in which animals have been transported from these districts have been obtained, and these are being located and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Inspection Follows. Following the imposition of a general federal quarantine and the killing of actually infected herds, comes a farm-to-farm inspection of the entire quarantined area. Later, when it becomes clear that the disease has been localized, it will be possible for tlie federal and state authorities to free from quarantine all but the actually infected counties or districts, and allow the uninfected territories to resume interstate shipments of stock. History of Present Outbreak. tThe present outbreak first appeared in southern Michigan. How it was introduced there is not known. Ship ments of diseased hogs from this place, which passed through Chicago, are believed to be responsible for the infection of the pens in the Union stockyards. Once the yards became infected there was danger that every shipment of live stock through Chicago to other parts of the country might pick up the germs of the disease and spread the contagion.

HOW

WELL ARRANGED KITCHEN AIDS WIFE OF FARMER Refrigerator Should Be on Same Level at Kitchen Floors, Walls and Ceilings Should Be Free from Cracks, Ridges and Mouldings that Catch Dust and Dirt

For reasons of general convenience, the refrigerator should be on the same level as the kitchen. Similarly, for much the same reason, the writer urges that the refrigerator or icebox be so arranged that it can be filled from outside. If the rear opening of the icebox is tightly joined to the opening in the wall of the house, and this opening is screened with strong wire netting, the back of the icebox can be left open in winter and the food kept in cold air without chilling the rest of the house. The floors, walla and ceilings should have a plain surface and be free from cracks, ridges, mouldings, or other raised ornaments which catch dust and dirt, are difficult to keep clean, and afford harboring places for insects. Walls covered with washable paint or washable wall paper are easier to clean than those simply tinted, though the latter can be readily renewed. Light colors are preferable, greenish grays being desirable if the exposure is toward the south, and light yellows or creams if the kitchen gets its light principally from the northeast. Of course, tiling or vitrified brick or metallic tiling are better than paint, tint, or wall paper, which have to be renewed, but these are more expensive. Where the walls are painted, a better surface results when a coat is applied every year or two than when several coats are applied at once. A linal coat of enamel paint outside varnish is desirable for woodwork that needs cleaning frequently. The ceiling may be finished with whitewash or one of the commercial preparations. WEBSTER.

S. and he Is a wonder to behold, all cleared up, skin healthy, eyes bright, a big smile replaces the droop. What is S. S. S. that can accomplish such wonderful results? First of all It Is a natural medicine. Like milk, eggs and other foods that can not be imitated, S. S. S. owes it to Nature for its power to overcome disease just as food prevents emaciation. S. S. S. is not a combination ot prescription drugs. It is a preparation direct from medicinal plants that retains all the virile potency of what we need, what we must have In the blood to counteract those destructive tendencies, that assail u throughout life. If It were not for our natural secretions to sustain us, aided by such known helps as S. S. S. there would be small ehance of any of us surviving childhood. Get a bottle of S. S.

Unfinished wooden floors are one of the great burdens of the housewife, as they can be kept clean only by frequent scrubbing, and in spite of care show spots and stains. Soft wood quickly becomes rough and splintered. Soft woods can be bettered by the application of special floor paints. Hard woods can be made Jess absorbent by the applications of wood fillers which are common commercial preparations. Where -unseasoned boards are used, cracks are likely to occur from shrinkage, and these should be filled, putty being sometimes used and sometimes commercial preparations designed for this purpose. Lighting, ventilating and heating are particularly important in the kitchen. For ventilating purposes, a window that. goes to the top of the room, with a top sash that can be readily raised and lowered, is especially good as it lets out the hot air which naturally rises. A window pole can be provided for closing the top sash. In lieu of a window opening at the top, small windows for ventilating purposes may be provided near the top, over the cupboard, table or sink. These will be most convenient if they are hinged and arranged so that they can be opened and closed by pulley and rope. There can hardly be too many windows in a kitchen. Glass panels in doors also allow light to penetrate into dark places in closets or passageways. Where there is danger of breakage, wire glass should be used, and where privacy is desirable, frosted or similar glass can be selected.

FARM NOTES.

If it was not due to late planting, Kansas claims that dipped Kafir seed shows a crop wholly devoid of smut. The bath used was a Bolutlon of bluestone.' '.. 1 . r .-';. Will it pay to put shredded fodder In the silo? This at least is one way of keeping it; and it is well known that it is difficult to keep sweet in bulk. It is said that the 1870 siege of Paris produced the first oleomargarine, by necessity. One woman says a mound of concentrated lye kills mice and rats. Heap it up, make a crater in the center and put molasses in this. As the rodents get at the sweets they get sufficient of the lye to kill them. Keep it away from other animals. If you can make your henhouse at all tight, burn a pound of brimstone in it some morning and air it out at night. This settles the case of all loose insects in it of every kind. The final thing is to get them off the fowls. Be careful about the enlarging picture fakers. Know your man or firm before giving him any small photo that you value. Cut and burn your asparagus plants. Smut or rust mayb e thus prevented. Wait until the asparagus begins to turn yellow. If you have a dirt floor in your poultry house, always sprinkle in additional dry dirt or sand after scraping the earth clean. The Mail Pouch man is in town. i-3t 3 3 w I

USE MANURE FREELY TO STIMULATE LAWN Uncle Sam Throws Down a Few Hints for Persons Wanting Pretty Yards Next Spring. To stimulate the growth of a lawn and to improve its appearance for the following spring, no better treatment can be recommended than the application of properly rotted manure in the late fall, according to the United States department of agriculture's specialist. This application should not be made until after, the frosts have stopped the growth of the grass. Ten to twenty two-horse loads should be applied to the acre, according as the soil is more or less rich. It is most important that the manure should be thoroughly rotted before application so that all weed seeds are killed; otherwise damage done by weeds will more than offset the fertilizing value of the application. Manure really needs careful handling

before it is suited for spreading overi the lawn. Unless it is properly "com-1 posted" it may have most of the val-1 uable constituents d pstrnvprl hv im proper handling. To "compost" manure properly it should be treated as follows : Pile all manure in heaps with alternate layers of sod or other litter. Keep it wet enough so it will not ii No Alum 99

must be the watchword when the housewife buys baking powder. Alum is well known to be a powerful astringent, and should never be used in food. Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M. D.,of the University of Pennsylvania, says: "I consider the use of alum baking powder highly injurious to health. Food economy now, more than ever, demands the purchase and use of those food articles of known high quality and absolute purity and healthfulness.

burn. , Let it stand a whole year through summer and winter, forking it over two or three times during the year. It will then be ready for use on the" lawns and danger from weed seeds will be minimized. Many people object to the use of manure at . alL not only because of the danger from weed seeds, but because of Its unsightly and insanitary appearance. These will undoubtedly prefer to use something else, and the most economical substitute is finely ground bone or bone meal. This should be applied at the rate of from 500 pounds to one ton per acre, according as the ground Is more or less rich. It should cost between $25 and $30 a ton. With the bone meal, it is desirable to use double the quantity of wood ashes. These ashes contain considerable lime in a very desirable form, . as well as other valuable elements. However, they are apt to be more or less costly.
