Generally, the disease was found to be in its early stages and confined to one or two glands. Nevertheless, increasing preval- ence of tuberculosis calls for at- tention. Strangles Common to Horses. This trouble, commonly called colt distemper, affects horses, but rarely mules and donkeys, It is such an infectious disease that nearly all horses contract it when colts, and usually remain immune to future exposures. The cause is a very small organism or germ, which enters the system when a healthy colt comes in contact with a diseased one, or when fed and watered in infected vessels. The seat of trouble is largely restricted to the respiratory organs. • The animal eats little, and does not care to take much exercise. A little watery discharge frequently appears from the eyes, and about the same time a watery discharge from the nostrils, which soon be- comes thicker and yellower in col- or. Usually the glands between the lower jawbones ibecome enlarged and undergo suppuration, with a rupture of them and fres discharge of .pus. When no complications oc- cur, the disease usually runs its course in two weeks.

The gunner, thorefore, 'has to regulate his fire so that the object aimed at will nein the centre of this most thickly coveted strip, a task which against trenches, even after aeroplane reconnaissance, requires. a considerable expenditure of am- munition, and when it is remember- ed that the trench itself is not muc. more than a yard or so wide it will be realized that for every three or Nur shells which burst in the trench there ere a vast number which explode before it or behind it, The neecl fur heavy shell expendi- ture against trenches is already great, but it will become more urg- ent still after the siege period”' is. over and real field fighting again becomes possible, when the artil- lery will have not the fixed tturget• of the trench line but the thin mo- bile ranks of skirtnishers as its ob- jective. Against moving infantry, unless. it is advancing in close formation, regulated fire is a matter of some difficulty. Infantry which finds it- self between the first shell which has burst behind them and the olldrt 811811 which has Inu'st in front, of them do not await the avalanche which is to follow, but rush rapid- : ly forward beyond the first short shell, where they fling themselves - to the ground under what cover they can find. The artillerymen know that they are somewhere in the neighborhood. and to begin again the tir de reglage would only- be nlybe a loss of time, so that the only 1 thing for the artillery to do is to shorten lis range by 100 nerds or 80. and sweep with shrapnel the whole- of the cme where they imagine the eneir.'s infantry to be. 1 I ettert of "70gu:na fires no lees. than eighty shells a minute, and it is only with rap'd, intense fire that the shrapnel fral'inentg.
