Drove Back British Raiders.
One hundred years ago one of the
marauding parties of British that con
tinued making depredations along the
6hores of Chesapeake bay after the
departure of the British fleet for the
South, landed at Deep creek, 15 miles
below Annapolis, with a view to hav
ing “a frolic ♦ith the Yankees," as
one of their officers expressed it. But
the “Yankees” were on the watch and
gave the invaders a warmer reception
v, than they had bargained for. Small
detachments of cavalry and infantry
attacked the enemy as soon as they
had stepped ashore and drove them
back to their boats, with considerable
loss. No American was killed in the
engagement, though Captain Burd of
the cavalry was seriously wounded
and narrowly escaped being made a
prisoner.

THE COUNTRY’S WAR AGAINST
THE FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Fourteen states have been quaran
tined by the United States govern
ment for foot-and-mouth disease—
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois. Michigan. Wisconsin, Iowa and
Kentucky. This disease is new to
farmers of the United States, for
there have been only five outbreaks
in the history of the country and of
these the first three were unimportant
and the two others confined to a com
paratively limited area. In Europe,
however, it has long been a well
known and dread scourage. Should
It ever be permitted to establish it
self as firmly here it would cause not
only tremendous losses to stock but
Typical Lesions on the Feet
seriously interfere with the supply of
meat for the people.
The foot-and-mouth disease affects
particularly cattle, swine and sheep.
It is characterized by sores in the
the mouth which make swallowing
painful and frequently cause the ani
mals to refuse all food, and by sores
on the feet which cause lameness and
in severe cases, occasionally result in
the hoofs dropping off. The animals
lose flesh with extraordinary rapidity
and in the case of milk cows the milk
supply is so seriously affected that it
frequently dries up altogether. The
first evidences of the disease are a
i chill followed quickly by fever, the
temperature sometimes rising as high
j as 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Small
: vesicles x>r blisters about the size of
a pea appear shortly after in the
mouth and Epread rapidly. As the
I disease advances ropy saliva hangs
from the afflicted animal's mouth,
which is opened and shut with a
peculiar smacking sound. In a short
time similar eruptions appear on the
feet, which are red, tender, swollen
and painful. In consequence the ani
mal persists in lying down and bed
sores soon develop. The udders of
milk cows are also susceptible and
the sores interfere with milking.
Most Contagious of Stock'Plagues.
Although the mortality is. except in
! very severe outbreaks, comparatively
low, foot-and-mouth disease is prob
ably the most contagious of all stock
plagues. The germ which causes it
is so small that it is invisible under
the miscroEcope and passes through
the finest filter known to science. It
can be carried in any one of a hun
dred ways. In addition to direct con
tact with affected animals, the disease
can be communicated by hay, straw,
bedding, harness, ropes, in fact, any
thing that has even indirectly came
in contact with diseased animals.
Cats, dogs, and poultry have been
known to carry the germ from farm
to farm, and in particular this is fre
quently done by human beings. Al
ready in the present outbreak cases
are on record where the curiosity of
farmers has led them to visit infected
herds. On their return to their own
homes these men have given the dis
ease to their own animals. For this
reason the authorities are urging up
on every one the duty of refraining
from such visits and of keeping
strangers from visiting their stock.
The contagiousness of the disease
indeed is such that when one animal
in a herd becomes infected it is con
sidered useless to attempt to save
the remainder of the herd. For this
reason the federal authorities have
adopted the only practical method of
stamping out the disease, namely, the
slaughter of all cattle, sheep and
swine on an infected farm. When a
case is discovered a deep trench is
dug, the animals led into it, slaught
ered, their hides slashed, and the car
casses treated with quicklime and
then buried under at least five feet of
earth. .It is advisable to slaughter
the animals in the ditch itself in order
that the ground may not become af
fected by dragging the dead bodies
over it. The hides are slashed part
ly in order to facilitate the action of
. . I
tne lime and partly to remove any
temptation to dig them up again and
sell them. The entire farm premises
are the thoroughly disinfected and nc
stock allowed upon them for a period
of approximately sixty days.
Appraiser Values the Herd.
In order to compensate the owner
of his property thus condemned in the
interest of the public welfare, an ap
praiser is appointed by the state au
thorities to value the herd. The sum
thus fixed is divided equally between 1
the state ar.d the federal authorities. '
In the last outbreak in 1908 in New i
England it cost the federal govern- j
ment. which was then paying two- |
thirds of the appraised values, ap
proximately $300,000 for eondemna- j
tfon. slaughter and disinfection. The j
present outbreak is regarded as much !
more serious.
The inspectors engaged in this
work are equipped with a complete
rubber outfit which can be thoroughly
disinfected after each exposure to in
fection. Persons who have not the
advantage of this equipment should
rigorously refrain from exposing them- j
selves to the least risk of infection. !
As has already been said, the disease 1
is frequently transmitted by human ;
beings, and it is really a crime for
any one to gratify his curiosity at j
the expense of his neighbors. In ad- I
dition to this danger there are also a
number of cases on record in which
both children and adults have become
infected themselves. Ordinarily the
disease is inot serious in men, but
weakly children who drink contami
nated milk suffer so severely that in
a few cases death has been known to
result. With adults the malady usu
ally takes no more serious form than
a slight eruption in the mouth similar
to fever blisters and possibly a simi
lar eruption on the hands and fingers.
There may be also some fever and
nausea, but there is comparatively lit
tle danger. In countries where the
disease is prevalent many authorities
believe that it is fairly general in
human beings but that the consequent
disturbances in health are so slight
that they are not brought to the at
tention of physicians.
Started in Michigan.
The present outbreak originated in
southern Michigan but how the germ
found its way there is not yet defi- J
nitelv known. It seems probable that
some cattle became infected, that
their milk was sent to a creamery
ard the skim milk then returned to
be fed to hogs A herd of these in
fected hogs was then shipped to Chi
cago where they infected the stock

Stricken Animal.
yards before they themselves revealed
any symptoms of the disease. Once
this had taken place, every shipment
of stock from Chicago to other parts
of the country was likely to spread
the infection. For this reason fed
eral inspectors have for some time
now been engaged in tracing, by the
aid of bills of lading and other rail
road records, each of these shipments
to its destination and inspecting the
stock there. This accounts for the
discovery of cases in states as far re
moved from each other as Iowa and
Massachusetts. The various quaran
tines already imposed have been de
signed to prevent the continued move
ment of cattle from infected or sus
picious places. Once these move
ments have been halted and all the
exposed cattle brought to a standstill,
it will be possible for the federal au
thorities to locate all suspicious cases
and by the slaughter of all exposed
cattle ultimately eradicate the dis
ease. Tbe federal quarantines are ac
companied by state and local quaran
tines of individual infected farms.
From these no produce whatsoever
can be sent out. In many cases chil
dren are not even permitted to go to
school, and the farmer cannot drive
his horses on the public highways.
Stock Raisers Should Help.
The chief obstacle in the way of the
successful prosecution of this cam
paign of isolation and extermination
lies in the danger that there may be
concealed sources of infection. A1
though the farmer receives the ap
praised value of his herd, it is in
evitable that the summary slaughter
of all his stock should cause him con
siderable inconvenience as well as In

here, there is a natural temptation

authorities. This, however, is simply

authorities by reporting every sus

EXCELLENT POINTS
CONCERNING SWINE
Alfalfa Recognized as of Greatest
Value in Hog Feeding
Care for Sows.
(By C. S. MILLER.)
If you intend to plow your blue
grass and clover pastures next spring,
let the pigs have free range over them
until the snow falls.
No other feed for small pigs ranks
as high in value as skim milk. If
you do not have plenty of it on your
own farm, better arrangp to get some
from a neighbor, even if it takes
trouble to do it.
In the West alfalfa is now recog
nized as of the greatest value in
hog feeding. Give a brood sow plenty
of cut alfalfa with a small ration of
corn, say not more than two pounds
per day, and she will come through
the winter in fine condition.
A slop made of shorts and hot wa
ter, fed every other day, is an excel
lent thing for brod sows.
A good many men will tear them
selves from close proximity to a hot
stove, dash out into the storm, shovel
a few bushels of corn on the ground
for their hogs, and then leave them
to shiver and freeze without adequate
shelter during the night. These men
are the fellows who are always sure
there is no money in hog raising.
Since Doctor Moore’s discovery of
the hitherto unknown qualities of
copperas, it has been used with great
success to preserve the health of
hogs. A very small portion, say a
teaspoonful in a barrel of drinking wa
ter once or twice a week, is recom.
mended.
FIND PLEASURE IN POULTRY.
Woman May Find as Much Enjoyment
With Flock of Birds as She Does
on Shopping Expedition.
The woman who finds herself pos
sessed for the first time of a flock of
poultry will soon learn that she may
spend an afternoon working with her
birds and be just as much amused as
if she spent her time shopping, nor
will she be nearly so tired as if she
had been walking around on hard
sidewalks.
Instead of being out of pocket—for
most every woman will buy things that
she does not need if she chances to
se% them—she will find that she has
added to the possibilities for gain.
To be out in the open air and sun
chine is to see more real life than
does the woman who is always in the
house.

GOOD
ROADS
ELIMINATE ALL ROAD GRADES
*Jo Team Should Be Required to Pull
to Its Maximum Capacity—In
teresting Comparisons.
<By W. C. PALMER.)
The average cost of hauling a ton
one mile on the ordinary country
roads is 25 cents, while the average
price of hauling one ton one mile on
the railroads is % cent. In other
words, the cost of hauling is 33 times
is much with team and wagon as with
steam. This has been accomplished
by a number of factors. Some of
these can be and must be considered
In making good roads, that is, to have
i good hard roadbed and to eliminate
grades. The railroads do not, as a
rule, have a grade of more than three
per cent, while some of them have
adopted i wo per cent as the maximum
grade. Two per cent would mean a
rise of two feet in a hundred feet
This would not be considered much ol
■ a grade on the ordinary read, but this
is the way it works out.
A team can exert a pull on a short
distance of one-half its weight, but
for ordinary work the load it can pull
should not be over one-tenth the
w'eigbt of the team, for instance s
team weighing 3,000 pounds can exeri
a pull of 300 pounds when it is to con
tinue the work for, say, ten hours
For a snail stretch it would be able
to exert a pull of 1,500 pounds. This
however, is putting forth all the ener
gy of w hich the horses are capable
It has also been found that the pul
required to take a ton load over ordi
nary roads is 160 pounds. Supposing
then, that the load is one ton and the
wagon weighs 1.300 pounds, this woulc
make a total of 3.300 pounds. At the
rate of 160 pounds a ton the total pul j
would be 261 pounds, or a little lest
than the team is capable of hauling
In fact, it could very nicely handle
500 pounds more, which would bring
the pull up to 300 pounds, and make
the load 2,500 pounds. This, however
Is for the level. As a grade is ap
proached this, of course, will be in
creased. A five per cent grade would
Increase the draft of the wagon and
load of 3,300 pounds by 315 pounds
bringing it up to 579 pounds, which it
almost twice what the team can han
die as a regular thing. If the grade
is increased to 20 per cent, or 20 feet
In 100 feet, the draft on this same
load would come to a little over 1,50(
pounds, or the maximum that thii
team could pull when exerting its ut
most power. Any grade beyond thli
would mean that the load would have
to be reduced, and in fact no tean
should be required to have to pull tc
its maximum capacity. From this it
is evident that increasing the grade
Increases the draft very fast and
hence grades should be eliminated as
far as it is possible.
On a macadam road a team can pul'
three times as much on the level at
on the good earth road, but the in
crease in draft for grade remains the
same us on the earth road, so that f
grade would be more objectionable or
a macadam road than on a poor road
On the; level a 3,000-pound team coult
easily handle four tons, while the
maximum grade that it could pull U]
with such a load would be a ten pe)
cent grade and even that is more thar
should be expected from the team.

WESTERN CANADA’S [
STRONG POSITION
“THE WHEAT GRANARY OF THE
WORLD,” A WELL AP
PLIED TERM.
Western Canada occupies a stronger
position today than it ever has occu
pied. Taking one year with another, |
the efficiency of its lands to produce
has been well proved. It has not been
said of it that year in and year out ^
there were bumper and bounteous i
crops. If such a condition existed it
would be phenomenal in the history
of any country. With an extensive
territory producing grain, hogs, cattle
and sheep, of some 800 miles wide and
1,000 miles long, it is easy to con
ceive of a wide variation in tempera
ture and climate; there is variation in
rainfall and snowfall; every section is
not the best in the district—some are
better than others and some worse,
but as a general thing, the great per- j
centage is “better.” Tbis past year ]
has shown that some portions are not |
altogether immune from periods of
drought. The same may be said of ad-;
joining states to the south. But this :
year has also shown that in the •
greater portion of Western Canada
drought does not appear, but even in 1
the drought-stricken area of this year,
past years have shown that the soil
produces wonderfully well and even
this year, with modern methods,
known as "dry-farming.” good crops
were harvested. The large number
of Americans w ho during the past six
teen years have been attracted to
Canada have not gone simply because
of the advertising of that country, but
because their friends and their old
time neighbors have done well there,
and with careful and judicious farm
ing altnost everyone has done well.
As a result of the great influx of
immigration the open or prairie home
steading area is being rapidly taken
up. The fact that this is so is evi
dence that Western Canada lands are
productive, and on these open plains 1
today are to be seen the homes of i
successful farmers from almost every |
state in the Union. They have earned
their patents and now own outright
their 160 acres of land, together prob
ably with an adjoining 160 acres,
w hich they have purchased or pre- i
empted, all of which is worth from
$25 to $30 per acre. They originally I
started by growing grains altogether,
but they found that they could secure
a better price for much «if their grain
by feeding it to hogs and cattle, and
the most successful ones are those
who have followed this course.
But to meet the wants of the new
comer a new homestead area has been
opened up, known as the "park coun
try.” In this park country are to be
found beautiful groves of poplar and
willow, small lakes and streams, with
sufficient open area to enable one to
go into immediate cultivation of crop,
and in due time wrhen they wish more
land to be put under cultivation, they 1
may at small cost cut down some ol
the groves, which in the meantime
have been valuable in providing fuel
and in giving shelter to cattle.
Notwithstanding the high character
of the open prairie lands and the fact
that farmers there have realized in a
splendid way, there is the opinion
backed np by a lot of experience that
this parklike country contains soil
even better than that of the open area
referred to.
The opportunities, therefore, for
money making are as great today aa
they ever were. The opportunities for
carrying on farming successfully are
full} as great as they ever were. Of
this park area we have an immense
quantity of land yet to be settled. It
is true that the railroads have not yet
penetrated these districts to the extent
that they have the open area, but this
will come and as settlements advance,
so will railroads build. For the pres
ent there is a temporary lull in rail
road building, but it is always the
case that where there is a demand
there will come a supply, and it will
not be long before the park country
will be penetrated by railroads that
will give sufficient accommodation for
all needs, but to those who prefer it
there are lots of opportunities for pur
chasing land nearer towns and vil
lages and at low prices and on easy
terms.
Whether one cares to purchase or
homestead it can better be done by
paying a visit to the country and it
will repay you to spend some little
time visiting the different districts.—
