Baseball club has made arrangements whereby a Thanks­ giving dance will be held at Stoffel hall on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 26 for the benefit of the ball club. It is common knowledge about town that the baseball team still has soiqe indebtedness, while there isn't enough money in the treasury to meet these \i obligations. The manager of the ball club as well as jfehe members of the team are anxious that those having bills against the club be paid and with this idea in view the boys are going to work hard to make enough money with which to clear the slate. The members of the Jusp Us club which on past occasions has been very kind to the ball club, has again con­ sented to do their part in making the dance a success and will have charge of the hall decorations and will also lend their aid wherever needed This means that the dance is bound to terminate into a big success and those who turn out have, in advance assurance of royal treatment and a good time. Wynkoop's Woodstock orchestra has already been engaged for the occason which means that the best of music will be provided. Dance tickets will be sold at $1.00, while an admission fee of 25 cents will, be" charged the spectators. Everybody welcome. Two hundred bushels of the Etfcen potatoes.

HAEGER Of ALGONQUIN PREPARES AN ARTICLE ON MOOT AMD MOUTH DISEASE , At a meeting of the farmers Of Null- da township held at Crystal Lake Tues­ day forenoon, Supervisor R. E. Aaeger of Algonquin kindly consented to pre­ pare an article on the foot and mouth disease epidemic that is now sweeping over our country. Mr. Haeger has a valuable herd of prize cattle quaran­ tined in the dairy show barns in Chi­ cago and is probably the best Informed man in the county on this subject. Mr. Haeger's article follows: Th« Fo*t uid Mouth DIMM* The above heading, up until a few weeks ago, was practically a stranger thruout this country, but in the last few weeks it has been forced to the notice of nearly everyone interested in the livestock industry. Our experi­ ence with this disease up until this time has been, what you might say, none, but in the last month or so the experience has been forced upon us and we cannot help but notice that it is one of the most contagious and in­ fectious diseases among livestock. Those that have not come in contact with it do not realize the danger of the spreading of this trouble thru their locality, and those-that do not know should certainly listen to warn­ ings that are being and have been sent out to the public at large. Discovery the disease was made in northern Indiana and southern Michigan along in August and September, where the disease made its first appearance to the veterinarians, and only in a short time we find the trouble cropping out in many states of the union, and at this time with the quarantine on nearly every state and Canada. The direct cause has not as yet been ascertained, but both the government and state officials are working out their theories and no doubt in. time will find the fountain head of the trouble. While nearly all the outbreaks have been traced to feeding stock that have been shipped thru the yards, there are also reasons to believe that thru a hog cholera serum germs have been car­ ried. To those who have never seen ani­ mals afflicted with this disease, I will say that the first symptoms are usually heavy,'dark discharge from the nos­ trils, which, in the course of time, be­ comes dried up and from this the ani­ mal will show a fever and swelling around the lips and tongue, with a heavy saliva discharging from the mouth, which usually continues from two to five days. The results here are blisters forming on the lips and tongue, which ip a short time will break, leav­ ing a raw sore on the surface, and while an animal is in this stage of the disease they usually eat little or not at all, and drink very little water. Cows that are in milk will have blisters on their teats,' which break and leave raw sores. Usually animals that are in milk while in this stage will fall off in their milk flow and what they do give at this time has a strong odor. But as the fever leaves them these cows yill usually come back on their feed and give their usual flow of milk. Of course, this, you will understand, Is by good, clean care while the animal is going thru the disease. Those af­ fected in the feet will sh6w the inflam­ mation and sores just above the hoof* which, if kept clean and dry, will usu­ ally disappear, but with an infeotion in these parts, they will break and be­ come very sore. This has the appear­ ance of what is commonly known among farmers as feet rot and the ani­ mals act a great deal the same. As you all know., an animal affected thus usually falls off in the milk flow as well as in condition, but upon being relieved of the trouble they come back to their feed and milk flow as before. At this time there seems to be no real treatment for any part of this disease, except it be .cleanliness in all ways. The experience ip this country has been very limited, as heretofore all animals as soon as discovered have been killed and buried, leaving very little time or chance for the veterinar­ ians to experiment in any way with this trouble. The government has supreme power so far as placing quarantine and dis­ posing of affected stock and the usual procedure is to appraise the affected herds for their meat value, the govern­ ment standing half of this loss. The results in the past have been very dis­ astrous to any community that may be affected and farmers cannot be too care­ ful in taking precautions to avoid a wave of this kind. As a precaution, we advise to keep all stock off the highways, to keep all horses, cattle and hogs from running at large on your farms. Tie up your dogs and shoot off your pigeons. This you will be doing for your own benefit, as well as your neighbors, as in case your stock should mingle with your neighbor's and little later the disease discovered among your . neighbor's stock, your neighbor's premises wilt be placed un­ der quarantine and also yours just as quickly iis those of your neighbor, where the &&e.ase has been found Stop and figure the financial loss to yourself, should y#U hywra An .outbreak in your herd with the g/Qverpjpjte.n.t of­ ficials coming on your pla<*e destroying all of your livestock and burning po#p feed as well, and paying you one-b»lf of the meat value of your eattJe. I be­ lieve that at this particular time every­ one interested in the livestock indus­ try, which I think will jnoludc the most qf us, should use every precau­ tion to guard against the spread and outbreak of this moat contagious dis­ ease.

CAW- W. STENCE*. C*#fe|»r. 8IN0N STOrrfcL. Vie# fw> if I give you a brief history of the cattle caught at the national dairy show at the Union stock yards and now quarantined there, as this is the first time in the history of our couQtry that, the diseased animals have been quar­ antined and a study and obser­ vation made of the progress of the disease in its different stages. It was difficult, after the outbreak in the show herds, to keep the government from slaughtering these valuable ani­ mals. As time goes on it is proving to the public that this is the best object lesson we have ever had. Doctors' ex­ periences in the treatment of this germ have been very little, for the reason that in the past all animals infected have been slaughtered a few days after coming down with the trouble, but last week in the dairy show Dr. Flex- mer of the Rockefeller Institute se­ cured a great many cultures from the dairy show cattle at the different stages of the disease and will in time try to isolate the germ and work out some means of treatment. Also Drs. Rose- nau and Prince of the Haryard Univer­ sity visited the dairy show barns and the remarks made by all of these doc­ tors were that it was the tirst visit to a barn where the foot and mouth dis­ ease was prevailing. We are in hopes that t&e visits of these eminent doctors at this t#me will result in something good for the livestock industry in the future. The dairy jsfrjQw animals are under the pare of Pr. Joseph Hughes, a veterinarian who has had a great deal of experience with this disease in Europe and he advises that the cattle at the dairy show barns are doing nicely and making a very speedy and complete recovery from the trouble. Those that were among the first to come down are now apparently in as good shape as they were before, so no doubt these results have been brought about by the careful supervision and care of Dr. Hughes. ~ The one "thing that T would advise is to clean up. Do not be afraid to use plenty of disinfectant about the places; keep your stock close at home and see that yot^r neighbors are not making visits to your premises, as the germs can very easily be carried in the clothes and on the shoes as well.
