How to Prevent Diseases and Stop Heavy Loss Among Farm Animals

Losses ot live stock from diseases, accident and other causes, probably three-fourths of which are preventable, by proper preventive measures and modern veterinary practice, amount to enormous sums each year in 1915 they were estimated as reaching $212,000,000. This sum, say specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, would supply the entire American Expeditionary Force of 2,000,000 men with meat for nearly a year. To these losses may be added others which, though indirect; are nevertheless as important. The discouragement of stock raising is one indirect loss, and this in turn retards the development of diversified agriculture. Although much Is being accomplished in the control and eradication ot destructive animal diseases, the best

MRS. WILLIAM REEDY DIES.

MANCHESTER. O., Jan. 22 Funeral services for Mrs. William Reedy,, who died at her home north of here Friday morning, were conducted Sunday afternoon by the Rev. C. W. Hoeffer of Richmond, at the United Brethren church in Castine. Interment was in Castine. Mrs. Reedy is survived by her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Parker and one granddaughter of Richmond.

TEAM WORK WINS IN FIGHT It is easier and more economical to prevent the introduction of disease into a herd or flock than it is to eliminate it. Every possible precaution should be taken by the stockman to prevent the introduction of disease on his premises. In recent years animal losses directly or Indirectly from disease have amounted to more than $200,000.000. annually, but with proper team work between Federal, State and local authorities and stockmen these losses can be promptly and greatly reduced.

BARN BURNS AT BOSTON WHEN OIL TANK EXPLODES

BOSTON. Ind.. Jan. 22. The ham at the home of Dr. W. B. Massie, veterinary, caught on firo Tuesday evening when sixty gallons of gasoline and a small tank of coal oil ignited. Sparks from the burning building spread to the. roof of the Universalist church nearby, but the blaze there was quickly extinguished. - Three pigs were lost in the barn fire. Ten tons of ccal in the barn were saved. The barn was small and little damage was done. ...... The chemical truck from Richmond was called, but was not needed by the time of its arrival. The Boston schemical truck was able to kep the fire from spreading.

PROPER CARE WILL SAVE MILLIONS ANNUALLY

Three-fourths of a. $2,00,000,000 Loss Is Preventable Closer Cooperation Between Live-stock Owners and Those in Position to Give Assistance Needed to Control Diseases.

results can be fully realized only through closer co-operation between the live stock owner and those who are in position to give him assistance. The stockmen who -fail to realize the necessity of fighting the unseen enemies of live stock by sanitation and the use of modern preventive methods that science has provided must be made to see the importance and profit which will come as a result of changing their conditions. A better understanding of feeds and feeding practices will prevent many of the common disorders of the digestive and respiratory tracts which are common among all classes of live stock. Losses from such accidents as horn wounds, bruises, wire cuts, harness sores, and broken legs, in most instances, are properly chargeable to neglect or carelessness. ' Proper Selection. The selection of breeds adapted to the climate and local conditions under which they must exist, as well as the selection of the foundation stock is important in maintaining health. Heavy beef and dairy types are better suited to withstand the trying conditions of cold climates, while the lighter, less fleshy breeds thrive better in warmer localities. Mountain types are better adapted for hilly grazing lands, closewooled sheep for cold regions, and the open-fleeced breeds for warmer climates. In purchasing stock it is advisable to find out what attention the seller gives to the health of his animals. Consult some ot his customers. If he is openly opposed to the tuberculin test, for example, or objects to the physical examination of horses for soundness by a qualified veterlarian, it may be for purely selfish motives. Separate Animals. As soon as animals are suspected of being affected with disease, especially if it is thought to be a communicable disease, they should be separated from healthy animals and be held in quarantine until this condition has been determined and remedied. The proper handling of animals has an important bearing upon maintaining their health and resistance to diseases. Good equipment and high grade stock are not enough. The animals should be handled by an attendant who has certain natural qualifications for his work. He should by all means have an inherent fondness for live stock and possess intelligence, good Judgment and even temper. Every state agricultural college maintains a corps of specialists who

are willing and well qualified to helo stockmen promote the health of their live stock. The U. S. Department of

Agriculture is constantly giving out important information in the form of bulletins, which are available on rerequest, and in every state has representatives employed in combating animal diseases or some other important activity connected with agriculture or stock raising. The state veterinarian is also ready to give advice and assistance in the diagnosis and control of outbreaks of disease, and in nearly every community, there is a veterinarian who should be called when needed. All these agencies exist for the purpose of rendering assistance to the live stock owner, and his losses could be minimized if he would utilize them to a greater extent. Fights Animal Diseases. How the spread of live stock diseases in the United States is largely controlled and sources of infection are stamped out is explained by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. Approximately 190 employes of the Bureau, engaged in the work, are stationed at the principal live stock markets of the country. All receipts of cattle, sheep, and swine unloaded in daylight are inspected at the time of unloading, while all those yarded at night are inspected early in the morning, before any trading takes place. Outgoing shipments are reinspected before ' loading, and holdovers are reinspected in the yard3 each day until disposed of. Diseases Watched For. The principal diseases for which inspections are made are foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, scabies of cattle and sheep, cattle fever, and hog cholera. If any symptoms of these or other cdmmunicable diseases are' detected, all affected or exposed animals are segregated and treated, or otherwise handled in accordance with Department regulations. . - Officials of the State in which the shipment originated are immediately notified, as well as Department field forces in that territory, and every effort is made to trace the origin of the infection. In this way centers of infection are located in most cases, and the spread of the disease to other premitses and herds is usually prevented by the prompt application of appropriate sanitary measures. Millions Inspected. During the last fiscal year ended June 30,. 1918, Inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry made 38,700.384 inspections for contagious or communicable diseases, and supervised 703,431 dippings of cattle and sheep at market centers. The vaccination

HOW TO AVOID LOSING MILLIONS The misuse of the by-products of farm crops during the past has caused American farmers to lose millions of dollars annually. Nothing offers greater opportunity for increased and more economical production of farm meats and dairy products than by the more effective use of such products. To bring farming operations up to the highest possible state of efficiency, all by-products must be used in an economical manner. Conditions are such as to urge the conservation of every available farm resource and every American farmer should make a study of conditions existing on his own farm with the idea of utilizing such products as have heretofore been wasted,

In addition, great numbers of horses were inspected for influenza, in the effort to control that disease and reduce losses from it.

JAILED FOR ATTEMPT ON SHERIFF'S LIFE

LIBERTY,. Ind., Jan. 22. Samuel Hurd, Colored, was found guilty ? of threatening the life of Sheriff Post, and was lodged in the county jail here. The attempt resulted, it is thought, from the shooting of Hurd's brother by Post several years ago. The brothers got into an altercation, and the sheriff was called to interfere. During the fight Post shot and killed Hurd's brother. The district schools and Clifton and Billingsville are closed because of the influenza epidemic. Many cases have been reported here but no deaths and no serious cases have been reported.

The other day a fellow said to us

I like your advertising."

We asked him why and he said: "It is characteristic of your firm. You say things and you do things You don't camouflage your advertising with a lot of promises that you can't and never intend to keep." That hits the nail right on the head. It gives us a lot of satisfaction to know that people recognize our efforts along this line. That we are doing what we say we can do and that to the best of our knowledge gained from practical experience we are selling the best cars, tires, labor, etc., that a given amount of money can buy. We sell Dodge Brothers Cars. No business on earth has traveled the route under heavy camouflage like the automobile business up to the present, and a lot of manufacturers are still getting by.
