There has been somewhat of a scare
among the people of Garrett and
vicinity on account of fever. Eight
cases of scarlet fever, two of diptheria
and one of typhoid fever were reported
which is only about one-third as some
had never been reported until they
were well. Some children of families
that had scarlet fever were going to
school, others that had their homes
placarded were attending the moving
picture shows, going in and out of
stores, restaurants and other public
places. It bas been reported that a
lady was permited by a doctor, of the
Board of Health, to move into a house
that was placarded, diptheria. The
Board of Health called a special meet-
ing to see what could be done with
the Doctor or the lady, but they got
into such hot arguments that turned
almost into a fist fight, and as a re-
sult some of them went home and the
balance of the Board adjourned until
Friday night. When the roll was
called and found every officer of the
Board of Health present, the president
called the meeting to order and tried
to get down to business but it seemed
they could not agree and they all
resigned except one man and the
health officer. There was a meeting
held by the town council on Monday
night and a new Board was appointed.
What do we need a Board of Health
for if they would just go and tack up
a card and let these contagious diseases
spread over the community? No; we
want it stopped if the schools, mov-
ing pictures shows, Sunday schools,
churches and all other public places
have to be closed for a time.
The new school house caught fire
and did considerable damage which
the board estimated at about $1,200.
The school is heated with hot air and
as we understand the fire started in
the basement and burned through the
floors before it was discovered but
the Bucket Brigade soon had it under
control.

| FEED FOR COWS IN PASTURE
Rev. L. P. Young held services in|
Early Pasture Has Stimulating Effect
on Milk and Butter Production
—Hay and Silage Help.
Cows that are turned into early
spring pasture are benefited greatly
if fed as much hay and silage as they |’
will eat, is the opinion of Professor G.
C. Humphrey of the college of :
culture ofthe University of Wisconsin.
He gives the following advice to dairy-
men:
Spring pasture has a stimulating ef- | 1
fect on milk and butter fat production,
and the amount of milk and butter fat
is increased quite appreciably even
though a decrease in live weight may
occur. This increase in production is
greater where hay and silage are fed
than where pasture alone constitutes
the feed. When cows are withheld
from grass until it becomes very
.théy may refuse hay and silage, but |
ordinarily it is believed to be the best |,
plan to supplement early spring pas-
ture with hay and silage in such quan-
titles as cattle will eat.
spring pasture season have to be made
up later, and usually at the expense of
production and the interests of the
owner.
During a period of nine years it
has been noted that on the average
87 per cent. of the cows of the univer-
sity dairy herd decreased in body
weight during the two weeks follow-
ing the time they were turned to pas-
ture. The amount of shrinkage va-
ried according to what the cows were
fed in addition to pasture. During two
respective years when hay and silage
were not fed in addition to pasture a
marked average shrinkage in weight
of 51 and 95 pounds was observed.
HANDY TRUCK IN DAIRY BARN
Farmer Cannot Afford to Ignore Mod:
ern Devices That Tend to De-
rease Amount of Labor.
The dairyman cannot afford to ig-
nore that which will lighten his labor
in any way. His stable can be ever
so conveniently arranged and still he
has enough to do, says the Independ-
ent Farmer... The truck presented in
this cut is very handy and will save
much labor. It is made of good lum-
A Handy Truck in Barn,
ber and the only iron about it is the
handle at each end by which to draw
or push it, and the straps which are
screwed against the ends, engage the
ends of the axle outside the wheels
and are screwed flat against the bot-
tom of the truck.
GOOD OF COW TESTING CLUB
Many Unscientific Dairymen Relying
on His Eyes and Own Judgment
Rather Than Record.
There are too many cows in herds
of the American farmer that do not
pay for their own keep, much less
yielding a profit, but the unscientific
dairyman who relies alone on his eyes
and own judgment rather than on rec-
ords of yield and income, keeps on
until he has his eyes opened by the
progress of his neighbor, who may
have joined a cow-testing association.
As illustrative of the difference ia
value of the average cows in a herd,
may be cited the record of the work
of cow-testing associations in opera-
tion in the state of Iowa since 1909
The best cow of the 688 tested re-|
turned a profit of $106.77, while the
poorest cow showed a loss of $19.44.
The average profit from the best cow
in each of the 46 herds tested was
$59.04, and from the poorest cow in
each herd, $16.63. From the data pre-
sented it has been estimated that ten
years in a cow-testing association
ought to bring all the cows up to near-
ly 290 pounds of butter-fat per year.
- SILAGE FOR YOUNG ANIMALS
It Has Very Beneficial Effect Upon
System in Keeping Digestive
Organs in Condition.
Silage plays a very important role
in the most economical and efficient
ration for young, growing dairy ani-
mals, states a recent bulletin from the
Iowa station. It has a very bene
ficial effect upon the system in keep
ing the digestive organs in the best
condition and as an aid in developing
large digestive capacity.
In attaining this last effect it is ma-
terially aided by alfalfa or clover hay.
When these feeds are given it is not
necessary to feed very much grain to
the animals after the end of the first
year. A good winter ration for year-
ling dairy heifers is corn silage, fif-
teen to twenty pounds, alfalfa or
clover hay, eight to ten pounds grain
mixture consisting of equal parts
corn, oats and bran, two pounds.

FOR FLETCHER'S
MANAGERS SHOULD
SERVE PEN TERMS.
Men involved in some of the past
financial performances of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
were denounced as criminals in the
senate on Friday. Senator Borah said
they should be occupying penitentiary
cells, if charges relating to the cor-
poration’s affairs are substantiated.
There were intimations that the fed-
eral government still contemplates in-
stituting criminal action against cer-
tain individuals engaged in transac-
tions of the New Haven, which have
been investigated by the interstate
commerce commission. The discus-
sion arose when Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, called up his resolution,
which would direet the commission to
extend its inquiry into the New Ha-
ven’s affairs, particularly with a view
to ascertaining what became of mil-
funds declared to have been fraudu-
lently withheld from the railroad’s
stockholders.
Senator Norris insisted that further
investigation, at least might furnish a
basis for proceedings by the present
management of the New Haven to re-
cover something for the widows and
orphans who have been ‘‘plundered.’?”
Reciting circumstances disclosed in
the interstate commerce commission’s
report on New England railroad con-
ditions, the senator declared that the
commission had not cofnpleted its in-
vesigation as to the New Haven be-
cause it feared it might be compelled
to extend immunity to offenders. It
was his reading of sections of this re-
port that prompted Senator Borah to
assert that men, if proven guilty of
the financial transactions described,
‘‘should be in the penitentiary.”
Senator Borah declared his faith in
the attorney general to push prosecu-
tions of certain men involved mn al-
leged crooked New Haven deals. For
him not to proceed on disclosures
made, if ground for revelations should
prove sound, he said, would lay the
attorney general open to impeach-
ment.

Crimes committed against railroads
are increasing, according to the an-
nual report of the police department
of the Baltimore & Ohio system,
which shows that 13,129 arrests were
made during 1913, as compared with
10,417 arrests during 1912. There were
8,449 convictions: in 1913, while in
1912 the number of convictions was
6,616. This increase in crime added
materially to the expense of the rail-
road for doing business during the
year.
The report of G. A. Ogline, superin-
tendent of police, covers all classes
of criminal offenses, from petty larce )
ny and disorderly conduct to traif
wrecking, highway robbery and mur-
der. The most frequent offenders
were those who ‘‘violated railroad
laws,” for which 8,303 arrests of
tramps and others unlawfully using
the railroad property were made.
Arrests for intoxication and disorder
numbered 2,526, with 1,567 arrests for
larceny, 176 for burglary and 3 for
murder. For receiving goods stolen
from the railroad there were 67 ar-
rests.
