(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Every year the people ?>f the Uuued States lose over hi.ihxi.000 directly (and no one Knows how much indirectly) through diseases <>f l'uriu animals. This is a large toll when di- . vided on a per capita basis, and when It coines home to the farm stock-raiser who finds a valuable animal dead In the barn, or an epidemic spreading into his herd, the loss is sometimes disastrous. The most regrettable feature of the case is that probably threefourths of the loss could be prevented. Five Causes of Disease. 1 There are five principal causes of disease and death of farm animals ? contagious diseases, sporadic disease, parasitic troubles, accidents and neglect Contagious diseases can be avoided, or at least their consequences greatly diminished, if farmers will learn to co-operate with the United States Department of Agriculture and the various state livestock and sanitary authorities, who are striving to maintain animal health. Farmers should report promptly to the nearest officials any suspicion of the presence of contagious disease, and they should observe carefully all regulations in re- [ gard to quarantine, sanitation, and care of animals, as protection against contagion. Tuberculosis is one of the worst scourges among animals anu it thrives best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated stables. It Is less common among animals running at large. Light, dry, well-ventilated stables and dry, clean barnyards or paddocks are essential to the health of farm animals. One valuable point in combating contagious diseases. esDeeiallv tuberculosis, is to start the herd with animals that not only are free from disease, hur are of Proper Care Keeps Farm Animals Healthy. stock that is not predisposed to disease. Official tests of herds are made on request and tlirougk co-operation of | the United States Department of Agriculture with livestock sanitary offit rials. Purchase of breeding stock from these herds is a wise precaution. Care also should be taken to obtain stock adapted to climatic and local conditions. The other sources of animal loss are largely a matter of intelligent and ear*.' :! handbag. Sporadic and incidental diseases, such as disorders of the digestive and respiratory tracts._ can bo avoided ' *. largely hy proper handling-and feed- ' lng. A proper balancing of rations has a material influence on the health of , live stock. Too much of any food element Is lltely to result In digestive disorders, thus predisposing the animal to disease. Parasitic diseases also carry off large numbers of valuable animals every year. They are largely the result of improper housing and neglect The average farmer can not be expected to have the time and aptitude for study which will keep him apace with the latest developments In feeds and feedl**:, animal nutrition and < medicines, hygiene, and other important matters related to the stock-raising Industry. He can, however, avail himself of the benefit of the studies and demonstrations of specialists who have devoted their entire time to these subjects. Every state agricultural college maintains a corps of specialists whose publications and services are available. Department Offer# Aid. The department of agriculture is j constantly giving out important Information in hooks and bulletins which may be had on request and In every state the department has representatives combating animal diseases. It is well to consult a local veterinarian in case of any disturbing symptoms and to report to the state veterinarian ' or the United States Department of ' Agriculture, any symptoms which InI dicate the possibility of an epidemic, p i The wiae breeder is ever on the look- j' I out to prevent disease Instead of wait- i Ing until a cure Is necessary. o 1 Death of Thomas Keelan l ' A communication to the Spartan- 1 burg Herald by W. T. Giles,, a citizen < of the Pauline community of Spartan- i burg county was sent to the County i Record by a prominent citizen of this j county with the request that we pub- 1 lish it. As this newspaper stands ! four square against cruelty, in any 1 form and especially against "man's 1 inhumanity to man" we are quite will- i i?g to reproduce Mr Giles' article, i It is as follows. 1 Editor of The Herald: Ar. unpleas? ? i -ii mi kf l ant story 01 tne aeatn ci i nomas m. .

'As ] understand, he fell in the road three times and was made to get up anc work until he died: "God have mercy" on the man thai would treat a sick man that way, especially an ex-soldier. That is the way some folks arc willing to treat our boys after they fough'., sufferec and died that our country and mc anc you and everybody else that did nol have to go to the war might be free from the clutches of the Huns. Friends and people of Spartanburg county, I do not uphold lawbreakers but I do say that there are not enough of us that are willing to tip our hat? to the boys that spilled their blooc on Flanders field that we all mighl have liberty. When there was anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000 turned loose at Camp Jackson, away from home and out cf jobs, Thomas Keelar was one cf them. And he was the son of some good woman who was willing to give up her boy for her country. He was as dear to her as our boys are to us. EVinnrle e\f Snai-tnnVnii-fj- it vnillri be a slam on the fair name of Spartanburg county for the people of New Jersey to see this case go through the courts as I see it. We all know it is a little dangerous to work prisoners on the gang, but I fail to see where they have got any right to abuse them, especially when they are sick. I think it is time for the people in authority in Spartanburg to take steps and see that her county will come out from under all such cruelty as this has brought about. A dying man calling for water was told by "he ?uard: "D you, you don't need any water," and Captain Hathcette, 1 am told, said" the guard, not to give :he prisoner any water. Now can't Spartanburg officers get a better man :han that? That is a shame on Spartanburg county. Hoboing on a train is not so bad, after all, to abuse a man ind treat a man as Thomas Keelan ivas treated. This should put every good man in ^uth Carolina to thinking and ask Li: mselves the question as citizens: hlo.v much longer will v.*e stand for i human to be treated inhuman, We >vant the people to know that we don't ;tand for working prisoners in that ,vay.

The play proceeded and after an apparently violent outburst of temper on the part of the feminine star, the little girl's voice again rent the air with: o m?r?n <1 ote loot thn t oa?v\a *>A?iiiiiii<i uviji juoi 111<11 ?aj ouiiictimes, doesn't she, papa?"

The vortex appeared to be a tube with tapering sides and a ceniral column. The walls seemed to consist of water movlng^^ ; downward and the central column ofln water ascending. The phenomenor^^^ lasted for 13 minutes; then the walls^ appeared to ascend Into the cloud. i ii mi 111111 M 1 BRICK! BRICK!!!! ; Come to our plant ?
