The reaction following vaccination of

Sweet Clover Not a Pest,.
Not long ago farmers were alarmed
over the rapid progress that sweet
clover was making into their farms,
usually from roadways. Many farm-
ers put forth strenuous efforts to ex-
terminate this so-called weed, but to-
day it is considered a highly desirable
erop and is used. more extensively
each year as a cultivated plant.

'1 obeT•c—iu Is Still the Siteelema
So disattrous is this disease aMeng
cattle aud swine that atoelt breeders
should be well infcrmed regarding its
cause, symptoms and control. They
should be Able to prevent its invasion,
or know how to combat it, not only
because it threatens the live-etocle in-
dustrg, but bemuse the disease is
'communicable from affected animals
to man through the medium of Mille
and Jueat. For these reasons we shall
here state • the more prominent
features of the disease, and the mars.
ner in which it should be dealt with
by live -stock officials, veterinariens
and breeders.
This scourge of cattle and swine
which is the counterpart of coneump-
ticsn of mail, is caused by a specific
germ or bacillus, The disease is in-
fectious, but not hereditary. It affects
fowls, and almost every species of
animals.
When the germs enter the body,
they multiply and form nodules, oe
tubercles, which- commonly contain
gritty particles or masses of limy
substances. As a result, the invaded:,
tissues cannot properly perform their
functions, the system becomes poison-
ed and the animal dies.
If the infeefive germs enter by way,
of the. mouth or nostrils, tubercles
form in the lymphatic glands of the
head or throat; if inhaled, they form
tubercles in the lungs or the' lymphatic
glands nearby. Entering the digestive
tract, they get into the blood. circula-
tion 07' form nodules or 'ulcers in the
lining membranes of the bowels. Car-
ried by the blood or lymph, they form
colonies and nodules in various parts
of the body, notably the lungs, liver,
kidneys, bones, joints, generative
organs or udder. ,..
Plain symptoms often are absent
for a long time; then they appear and
aggravate gradually. Tubercles that
cause enlargements of the glands of
the throat, also cause external swell-
ings under the ear, a cough, a loud
snoring or breathing. When the lungs
are affected cough is induced, and -also
some discharge from the nostgils or
mouth. Enlarged lymphatic glands
pressing upon the gullet may give rise
to chronic bloating. The udder, when
invaded, enlarges and contains hard,
insensitive turners. A large tumor is
sometimes seen high un at the rear
of the udder. There may also be ster-
ility or barrenness when the gener-
ative organs are involved.
The diseaee alwayA should be sus-
pected :when a cow shows ill -thrift,
indicated by a harsh, staring' coat of
ha:r, hidebound skin, emaciation,
sunken, - swimming, eyes; chronic
cough, or stiffnese and difficulty., in
" •
Tubereidais ‘-spreads through the
entire body of,,the hog, and even in-
vades the muscles (meat). The ani-
mals -show • every symptom of ill -
health. . -
Tuberculosis can only be produced
by entrance of its germs into the ani-
mal .body. The robust animal has
some power to resist the germs which
possibly may be destroyedinthe blood
stream or thrown out, if few in -num-
ber. But. the weak animal, living iu.
an insanitary stable, or run clown by
semieStarvation or 'sickness, ex de-
pleted by prolonged yielding of great
quantities of milk at the expense of
body tissues . and vitality, offers the
invading germs of tuberculosis a most
favorable growing place. Here they
spread and grow quickly.
Most commonly the germs enter the
body by way of the digestive organs.
Calves and pigs contract the disease
from the raw milk of tuberculous
cows. Infants are infected in the
same way. Raw skim -milk or whey
from the creamery or cheese factory
also is a, source of infection.
Swine very commonly take the dis-
ease by follotving infected cattle in
the feeding y,ards and eating - corn
voided in the feces, or by eating offal
or garbage.
Cattle also are contaminated by the
pollution of their feed or their pasture
grass or drinking water byobhe dis-
charges of affected animals; or they
contract the disease by aetual contact
with ,affected cattle.
It is possible for an animal to have
the disease, yet not throw off germs,
the affected tissues being in a sealed
condition; but at any Erne suck. ani-
mals may become spreaders' -of the
disease.
The trained bacteriologist ,can deter-
mine the presence of tuberculosis by
examination of the milk, saliva, urine,
or feces Of an affected animal, but
usually makes such an examin.ation itt
connection with other and .niore de-
finite methods of diagnosis,
Physical evidences of the disease
are of greater aid to the owner, but
scarcely can be con.siderecl conclusive
unless the disease is known to exist
in a herd. If an emaciated, thriftless
cow, having a chronic cough and dis-
charge from nose or mouth, grunts or
groans When the fingers are' thrust
into the space between the ribs just
behind the shoulder, she is probablY
tuberculous, Such a cow often steads
with dlier elbows turned outward,
skews enlargement of lymphEttle
glands undeg the jaws or uses, or in
or above the udder. Cews that breathe
loudly or with difficulty, suffer from used.
c ironic bloating, reeurring unexplain-
able attacks of gavot, or that have
enlargements of joints with accom-
panying lameness os.- stiffness should
be susp, eeted.
The identity of theddisease is deter-
mined readily after death by finding
its characteristic nodules or tubercles
in lymphatic glands and °lifer organs
and tissues of the body. Theee fre-
gaently occur in colonies On the serous
Membranes lining the chest or abdoin-
ilea!, cavities,
Testing the liviag animal with
tuberculin is, however, the only ac-
curate method of determining the
presence oftuberculosis. The test .can
he applied by any trained veterinarian.
Tiabereelia is a plear broth in which
the germs of tuberculosis have been
grown to the limit of their production
and then destgoyed. It can not pos-
sibly cause the disease, as it does nob
contain live germs. But when 'injected
under the skin of a tuberculous ani-
mal, it causes the temperature to rise
considerably above normal, end. as
gradually return to normal. The
normal temperature of a cow is, 101
degrees to 102.5 degrees F. '
In making the test a temperature
reading is taken morning, noon and
night to determine that the temper-
ature is no -mai; then at 9 or 10 o'clock
p.m. of the same day`an appropariate
dose of reliable tuberculin is injected
under the skin of the neck or behind
the shoulder. Then temperature
reading is taken eveey two hours,
starting at five or six o'clock M the
Morning until it is seen that the tem-
perature has become practically norm-
al. A rise -of two ox more degrees
above the maximum temperature ob-
served prior to injection of tuberculin,
or a temperature above 103.8 degrees
F., is to be regarded as an indication
of tuberculosis, provided the temper-
ature reaction shows the character-
istic rainbow curve (eparard gradu-
ally and as gradually: downward to
normal). A rise of twe degrees with
a maximum between 103 degrees and
103.8 degrees F., as well as a rise of
less than two degrees with a ma.ximum
temperature of 103.8 degrees P., is
to be regarded as suspictoue.
The reacting animal commonly has
a chill, loses appetite, shrinks in milk,
and may- ecour. During- the test the
animal should be kept -as quiet as pos-
sible, should not drink much cold
water, ancrshould not run outdoors in
the sun. A cow should not be tested
if sick, or in heat, or within three
weeks of calviing, or soon after that
event. Nervous coves may show a -rise
of temperature if roughlytreated, or
not accustomed to stabling arid handl-
-
ing, A reaction may fail to occur le

diseaee or before it has suffigiently
developed, Usoally the teed detects
the disease, toils; before a trace,: of it
appears physically,
A herd that is free from tubercul-
osis may be kept free by quarantining
and testing each purchased animal,
pasteurizing milk from creamerdee
and whey from cheese, factories by
heating to 145 degrees P. for at least
twenty minutes before feeding to
calvee or pigs, and keeping the ant -
mats from corning in eontact with dis-
eased animals, or places where such
animals have been kept.
Sunlight lcills the germs of tuber-
culosis in a few hours; therefore, sun-
light shold be allowed to enter all
Istables freely. Fresh air alse is im-
peratively necessela7; and all buildings
should be kept glean and frequently
disinfected with a five per eent, solu-
tion of carbolic acid, a 1 to 30 solution
, of compound cresol solution, or a solu-
tion of five ounces of formaldehyde
in a gallon of water. Fresh made
limewash also should be frequently
applied. Animalshould be kept
strongly resistant against disease by
adecniate feeding and sthe best eare.
Peter Put -To -Bed,
011, who is Peter Put -to -Bed? At
twilight every night he swings the
fragrant garden gate and puts the
bees to flight; the little birds, half
gone to sleep, soft twitter far and
near, "It's just old Peter Put -to -Bed;
old Peterkin is here.",
, He wears a rurnply lilac gown and
has a beard of gray; his slippers flop
with every step in such a sleepy way;
he's often known to stop and yawn
and nearly shut his eyebefore he
stoops to fold to sleep the weary but-
terflies.
He strokes the perky pansy heads
and bids the froggies sink down deep
beneath the lily pads and quite forget
to wink. He strokes the wing of
Bobolink and tucks away her head.
But Peter's quite too wise to try to
put the owl to bed,
Old Peter's in the garden now; I
hear the grasses blow as, slippered
soft, he trails his robe where bells and
lilies grow. I must be putting down
my book and going up the stair; he
has a way of looking up to see if I
anr there.
Whatever the best inay be, what-
ever we have done, whatever has been
done before, let us improve upon it
just a little.

Colony Hog House
- - This siX: by eiglet-foot colony house
has proved its value where it has been
used. It is a gable -roof house with
the roof doors on one side to be open-
ed for sunlight.
The colony hog house has made
itself almost indispensable through
its adaptability to varied conditions.
When properly- built and used, this
type of piggery has proved very' suc-
cessful. Proper housing is essential
in live stock raising of any kind and
more especially swine. Dry, sanitary,
comfortable conditions must be pro-
vided if one wishes the best returns
in the pork producing business.
. Build the plank floor first. Timbers
four inches square for the outside
make excellent runners and a tvvo by
four in the centre stiffens the frame.
Next collies the framing work,
which is made of two by four lumber.
This is placed on top of the plank
The entrance door may ebe placed
in the middle of the gable end, or
near one corner of the end or side.
The side or end is the best because
the swine are better protected from
drafts. The size of doorway is twenty-
four by thirty inches, but may be
_made larger, and higher, especially
by building the sides higher, say six
inches or so. Some of the large breeds
demand higher doorways than speci-
fied,
In cold weather a piece of burlap or
ducking hung at the top of the door,
with a stick a little shorter than the
width of the door nailed across the
bottomto prevent the wind blowing
it back, will help materially to keep
the pigs warm. The pigs will soon
learn to lift the curtain when they
want to go through. The board doors
would not then need to be closed ex-
cept in very bad weather, or while the
pigs are very small.

floor, The outside are two
and a half feet high and are placed
at equal .distances, or about two feet
eight inches apart. The two by four
rafters are set shown -with a centre
three feet eleven inches apart. On
the north slope, or opposite the slope
where the doors or windows are to be
placed, there should be some sort of
a wind brace in between the rafters
SO as to keep the house rigid at all
theme.
The siding material used is a ten -
inch dreseed shiplap, This material
can be used all over the house for the
doors, roof and siding and will 'result
in Et good tight and warm building
that will- be free from drafts.
The roof doors, which are on the
east or south slope of the hoose are
hinged at top or side and each door
is two by four feet in size. Extra
heavy eight -inch strap hinges are
studdings
Pig fenders that protect the young
pigs at farrowing time are easily
built by 'fastening two by four pieces
flatwise to the sides and ends about
six inches from the floor. They are
made removable.
A satisfactory scheme of ventilas
tion is provided by leaving an open -
Tag of moderate size beneath the ridge
pole, protected by nailing a wide tri-
angular board under and flush with
the edge of the extending roof boards.
The wind is prevented by this arrange -

house.
This kind of house needs two coats
ot paint. It will thus last longer and
look better and will' prove to be a
good investment if eared for properly,

IVIaybotle: Please suggest games or
contests for n party to be given her
the younger members of our club. ,
Why net play the good old genie
of "Bell Buff"? In this game all the
players except one are blindfolded.
This one is called the guide and has
a small bell which he rings during
the game. All the blindfolded guests
grope around wildly for their guide,
who rings the bell all the time, but
who must move in different places,
so as to escape those who are hunt-
ing him. The blindfolded guests are
guided only by the sound of the bell,
and the guide must be -very quick to
change his position or he will be
caught by his pursuers. The first
person who catches the guide ex-
changes places with him, and the
game goes on as before.
A "String Scramble' rnight follow.
Provide pieces of clean, hew string
two yards long; one end of eacli piece
should' be attached to a epool which
is placed upon it table. The spools
should be placed so that the strings
will not become tangled. When a sig-
nal is given, players try to secure as
much string as they can with their
mouths.
Announce a "foot -race" for the next
contest, having the company line up
against the wall with heels touching
the base -board. Ask the players to
be ready to start when the signal is
given, then proceed to measure their
feet, using a foot -rule for the pur-
pose. A box of shoe -blacking might
be given to the guest having the larg-
est feet, a shee-horn to the one having
the smallest.
You might have an "obetacle race"
for the uninitiated. A. race -course
could be rnarked out and footstools
baskets and boxes placed at equal
distance on the floor. The victim is
told to look at them darefully, is then
blindfolded and told to walk the length
of the course, stepping over the ob-
staeles. The instant he is blindfolded
all these articles are removed and his
efforts to step over the things which
are not there are mirth -provoking.
After this have a "crowning contest."
Each person is required first to eat a
cracker, then perching on the back
of a chair, and by flapping the arms
tries ,to induce a good "crow" to come
forth.
Mil. X. Y.: So you consider it a
great and mountainous trial that your
hasbarid, otherwise the dearest, kind-
est, most lovable snan in all the world,
as your letter says, spoils it all by
eating with his knife. Tut, tut, Mrs.
X. Y., don't be so petty! It'snicer,
of course, according to present stend-
ards and, manner id to use fork or
spoon, but it is only habit and custoni,.
that makes it so; it doesn't seriously
affect the real man underneath, so
far as I know. When you and other
readers of this column are prone to
worxy about little things like this,
that take patience to train these dear,
old, stubborn husbands out of, juet
remember that it wasn't no very long
ago that there were no forks and ne
gentle manners and customs and that
even kings and queens ate with, their
fingers,
The Greeks and Romans, as well as
other ancient nations, knew nothiog
or any such implements, and meat
was commonly prepared in stews,
Eating was hardly a dainty operation
under such circumstances, and we
would probably find ourselves over-
come with disgust if we were obliged
to take a meal in the company of our
„ancestors or even three hundred years
ago. Each man had his own knife,
and at dinner seized the joint with his
hand and cut off what lie wiehed. The
dish eves then passed on to the next,
' who did the same. The knife then
cut up the portions iota small pieces,
which were put into the mouth by the
fingers of the hand unoccupied by the
knife.
In many parts of Spain, at present,
drinking glasses, spoons, and forks
are rarities; and in taverns in many
countries, particularly m some towns
in France, knives are not placed on
the table, because it is expected that
each person has one of his own, a
custom which the -French seem to have
retained from the old Gauls; but as
no person will any longer eat without
forks landlords are obliged to furnish
these, together with plates and spoons.
None of the sovereigns of England
had forks till the reign of Henry VIII.
All, high and low, used their fingers.
Hence, in the royal household, there
was a dignity called the ewery, who,
with a set of subordinates, attended
at the meals with basins, water and
towels. The office of the ewery sur-
vived after forks came partially into
fashion.
About thelirst royal personage who
is known to have bad a fork was
Queen Elizabeth; but, although sev-
eeal were presented to he it is doubt-
ful whether She used them on ordin-
ary occasions.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
JUNE 20TH.
The Lord Our Shepherd—Psalm 23.
Golden Text, Psalm 23: 1.
1. My Shepherd. The poet remem-
bered his own days and nights with
the flock on the Bethlehem moors and
he can find no more appropriate igure
than this to describe God's care for
His peeple. So very often in the Old
Testament is God compared to a shep-
herd Out of Egypt "He lecl forth His
own people like sheep, and guided
them in the wilderness like a flock,
and He led them safely, so that they
feared not." (Psahn 78: 52.)
He is the "Shepherd of Israel"
(Psalm 80: 1), who "shall feed his
flock, and shall gather the lambs in
his arm, and 'carry them in his bosom"
(Isa. 40: 11). He is the good shep-
herd of Ezek, 34: 11-16, to whom
Christ compares Himself in John 10:
11-16. Compare Heb. 13: 20; 1 Peter
2: 25; 5: 4: and Rev. 7: 17.
The men of the Old Testament
learned that, though they might sof-
ler from the want or loss of material
things, they possessed all real and
perfect good in the favor and blessing
of their God.
2. In green pastures and beside the
still waters. The shepherd seeks for
his flock the hest pastures, and rent-
ing places in the shadow of trees by
springs or pools of water. The lat-
ter passage is, literally, "by waters
of rest." Compare Ezek, 34: 14-15,
Ib is a great faith which regards Clod
with such simple and whole -hearted
confidence, and which can find satis-
faction and rest even in the midst of
perils and in the peesence of foes.
It is what James Russell Lowell cal-
led "conficlingness and affection." It
is loving and trusting Him whose
goodnese never fails and whose CEIt6
never slackens or grows weary. We,
who have found God in Christ Jesus,
know Well how good a shepherd He
and into what "heavenly places" He is
continually leading us.
3. He restoreth my soul. The idea
is that of reviving, strengthening,
giving fresh life and vigor to those
who are weary and fainting. So does
the Lord restore His people.
He leadeth me. Just as sure as we
are of His care for our wants, so sure
are we of.His leading. Not in devious
ways or desert byways does God lead,
but in straight paths to places of duty
and of blessing. He leads in paths
of righteousness, in right livingand
right doing, in ways of duty and
honor, of truth and purity, of kind-
ness and unselfish service. And all
this He does for His name's sake, be-
cause He must maintain. the honor of
His name. His very nature, His own,
essential being, the glory of His char-
acter which is revealed. in His name,
demands this of Him. God is love
and His thought for His own is ever
a thought of love,
4. The valley of the shadow of
Death. God may lead through dark
and difficult and dangerous ways, but
He Himself will be near. There relay
be much pain and sorrow to heart but
His comforting presence and strength
will be at hand to help. "God is our
refuge and strength; a very present
help in trouble, Therefore will not we
fear." This is the great assuranee.

own. And not only that, but He puts
gladness into the feast and bestowe
honor upon His guest. For the anoint-
ing with fragrant oil and the cup
filled to overflowing marked both the
bountiful hospitality of the host and
the honor he would do to him who sat
at his table.
6. Surely goodness and mercy.
There will be no abandonment of His
flock by the Good Shepherd. His good-
ness and mercy shall not cease. More,
much more, he has been a guest in
Godes house and at His table, and
will abide there. He will not go out
any more. There is no contradiction
here. The man who is thus the object
of Jehovah's care both goes and stays.
He goes to his varied tasks and du-
ties, but abides still under the care
of God.
The greatest thing we can do to
raise the standard of public health itt
this country, to increase the span of
life, and to cause the people of our
country to maintain the character-
istics of youth over longer periods, is
Ito change the diet and use more milk,
more ggeen vegetables. and less nfeat.
Ciliengee parents are afraid to give
the childra the fine high-sounding
names their love suggests, lest the
evil spirits, of whom, they stand in
constant fear, should come to under-
stand how precious they are, and cause
themesome calamity. So the little -ones
are called by ,sttch /mines as Little
Stupid, and the like, the idea being
that when the spirits hear the children
called by such unconiplimentary names
they will imagine that the parents
care very little for them, and will not
take the trouble to molest them.,
