OUR RED CROSS IS
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS
Patriotic Amcricnng wbo bavo been
helping tbo Itcd Cross lmvo of Into
been making anxious Inquiries ns to
whether tho bumnnlty nnd tbo neutral
ity of the Itcd Cross would constrain It
to send food, medicines and hospital
units to Germany.
"I wnnt to jdvc to help our boys, nnd
tbo stricken people of Franco and IIcl
Kiura nnd Serbia," many n one has
written In ; "but I don't feel like dolus
anything If tbo Germnns get part of It."
Americans need bo under no appre
hension. Not a cent of HctV Cross con
tributions is going to Germany, or has
gono thero since the war was declared
by tbo United States. General Per
shing hns gono to Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sam's compliments In
tho form of shells and American bny
oncts. but the Itcd Cross has no part In
that except to care for such of Gen
eral robbing's men as may need care.
Tho matter of bending Itcd Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
in tho recent Itcd Cross wnr council In
Washington. Charles D. Norton, ono
of tho members, answered Inquiries
thus:
"Tho answer is exceedingly simple.
We do not purposo to be tried for trea
son. Wo do not purposo to lend aid
and comfort to our enemies. We mean
to attend our own American Itcd Cross
affairs."
Former President Tnft, who is chair
man of tho executive, committee, sup
ported this view. IIo said that when
wounded Germans fell Into tho hands
of tho American Ited Cross they will
get tho same treatment as our own
men; but that It 'would undoubtedly
1)0 treason to send supplies to Germany
as we did beforo wo wero forced Into
tho wnr.
So Americans can glvo freely, know
ing that every cent is for our own nnd
our allies' wounded, nnd not for tho
fcnemy.

The feeding of new corn to any
animal should alwayB be attended
with extreme care. Most years
shortly after beginning the use of
this feed to hogs, reports of hog
cholera beeomo more prevalent, un
til many fanners have been led to
believe that it is the immature corn
that causes tho disease. This can
hardly be true, since hog cholera is
produced from a specific germ.
However the too rapid starting of
pigs on new corn, that have already
had their vitality reduced by worms
or have been fed on a scanty grain
ration, is apt to so break down
their system so that if present, the
germ readily gains entrance. Now
cor.n should bo fed in moderation
together with Borne other grain or
old corn.

directly from tho Held. The object
is not merely to secure those that
have made a good growth and shown
themselves to be unusually prolific,
which are always factors in seed se
lection, but to get seed fre.o from
nntrecnoso. This disease is readily
recognized by reddish brown spots
on both the leaves and tho seeds.
Plana for storage pits and caves
aro available at this ollico. Theso
are for any.requesting them.
Necrosis or bull-nose is a disease
of bogs becoming more common
each year. It characterizes itself
by lumps generally over tho snout,
but may bo found on other parts of
tho body or oven along tho aliment
ary canal, causing a thickening of
the walls of tho intestine. Several
affected herds have been found by
tho writer during tho summer, the
worst of theso having some fifteen
or twenty piga with the disease. In
ternal treatment has but little value.
While in the early stages, applica
tions of tincture of iodine to the
swollen part every three or font
days may prove helpful or the swell
ing may be opened during the early
stages and after removing the pus,
apply with syringo, a solution of
glycerine fifteen parts, carbolic
ucid one part. Tho use of clean
yards, sheds and feeding floors,
will do much towards keeping down
this disease. Farms already hav
ing this trouble, should clean up,
use sanitary precautions and keep
a strong solution of creosol dip
sprinkled about the yards and
sheds.
