Caused by a Parasite--VYearlings and Calves Most Susceptible -- Treat- ment Suggested. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Ringworm is a skin disease present in many herds during the winter per- fod. It is a disease of domestication, favored by poor animal husbandry , Quite common and most . practice. frequently seen in young cattle, ap- pearing a short time after freeze-up when the animals have returned from pastures to the infected quar- ters that they occupy during the feed- ing period, go Caused by a Parasite. The parasite, Trichophyton tonsu- rans, which is responsible for the ringworm condition, is a hardy ras- cal and can live in the stables, feed- racks, mangers and yards from spring to autumn and is always ready to welcome his vietim, be it a man, a horse, a sheep, a pig or a steer,~-- cattle are preferred offering a skin that is usually soft and porous---just what the parasite needs. The trans- mission of the parasite may be direct or indirect. Indirect by means of harness, curry comb, blanket; bed- ding, tie chain, halters, mangers or stall partitions. In cattle natural in- fection occurs through contact of dis- eased and healthy animals, as rubbing or licking one another. The parasite after reaching an animal locates in the hair follicles, causing the hair to become brittle and to split or break off. A single organism once estab- lished under favorable conditions multiplies at a tremendous rate, so much so tha? thousands of hair fol- licles are invaded and the circular patches of grey scaly crust increase. Yearlings and Calves Are Most ceptible, particularly so if crowded together in warm stables where the organism is present on walls or man- gers. The disease appears around the ears, eyes, neck, lips and tail- head, the parts that an itchy animal ® can rub on an infected object most easily. The period of incubation for thls parasite varies from seven to Dryden Lumber Company Successors to Anderson & Harris.

Up to cate wwe have had a good fire record |in Eastern Canada. Our fire losses aer jrelatively small, one reason is wet eather and, another, increased care on (the part of the public, through Educa- tional Campaigns. How may we make the most satisfactory fire year in our history? By a little thought in preventing fifires from occurring, or by co-operating with the fire fighting service when fires break out, by warn- ing the ranger or District Forester or i Fire Inspector, by lending a hand when the fifive is small and easily controlled, ete, i A little care for the next two months will make a recodr for Canada! Why not be on the firing line yourself and lend a helping hand to conservation of "a national resource which involves $500 000,000 annually in our national in- come. i Make sure you do not start a fire by careless matches, cigarette butts, "cigar stubs oy pipe heel. Make sure, "in locating your camp fire, that you make it small, near water, on rock, with a wide clearance from brush pile or debris. Make sure that when you (leave, your fire is dead out. Use half 'a dozen pails of water instead of one. (IE your fire is not. on rock, carefully "trench and see that there are no root- lets ov faggots to carry fire across "from your fire and always puddle your "five before leaving it. Remember, one little ember is enough to cause thous- "ands of dollars of damage. Do not leace it to the other fellow! Do it your- self, THE USE OI' THE SELF-FEEDER FOR GROWING PIGS Many farmers find that during the tusy summer season it is almost im- possible to give their growing pigs Under such condi- tions a sel{-feeder may often be used to advantage. A self-feeder is a hop- per constructed in such a way that when filled with meal, the pigs may cat from it whenever they desire. It was primarily intended to be a labor- Cisaving device, and to make possible the feeding of a large number of pigs with a minimum amount of labour. At the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Kapuskasing, Ont., it has been found from experiments, that when i fused in conjunction with clover pasture I ithe self-feeder will give larger gains © than will hand-feeding and at no great- er cost per one hundred pounds gain. It will save from fifty to seventy-five per cent of the labour, where ten or more pigs are being fed. If a farm- er feels that he cannot spare sufficient time to feed his growing pigs by hand. the use of a self-feeder is to be recommended, If a little or no skim-milk is avail- able, a good time to commence using the self-feeder is before weaning, Ii fare is plenty of kim-milk on hand, "however, the pags may be weaned and fred for awhile in the ordinary way, and later transferred to the self-feeder { gradually wwhile the hand-feeding is 'being cut off. PRIEST KILLED WHEN SOLDIERS RAID SERVICE 'MEXICO CITY, Aug. 18.--Mexican women are reported to have taken a leading part in the alleged revolution- 'ary plot, which was nipped in the bud 'early this week, !
