Objection is made it This question has been asked us: "fa it advisable to attempt to rid a lierd of contagious abortion by selling every cow as soon as she aborts?" Little or no benefit will be secured from any such program, because many animals that have the infection present do not give any evidence of it and cannot be detected except by a blood test t. • Doctor Metzger of the New York State College of,Agriculture suggests' that breeders who are unable to use the blood test to eradicate the disease, can reduce their losses by the following practices; Isolate every aborting animal. If possible have a maternity s|aN with a concrete floor and clean add disinfect it thoroughly. V " Raise all replacements oq the farm except the herd sire. Research shows that* heifers born of an aborting dam have the infection at birth, bat by the seventh or eighth month the infection generally leave$. After breeding, they become highly susceptible. , Everything should be done to guard the bred' heifer from taking the infection into her system. This means watching things not only In the barn but while on pasture. All cows and heifers should be pastured separately from all outside stock. One aborting animal will often infect all bred animals in the pasture. For replacements, some dairymen are buying four and five-year-old cows hoping that they have had abortion.

Testing Necessary for Keeping Check on Cows Xn these days of financial uncertainty how long would a banker last if he simply accepted the deposits that were offered and cashed the checks that were drawn on. his bank, without going to the trouble and expense of keeping a line on each customer and entering each transaction in his records? It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it, but It is no more ridiculous than for a dairyman to say he can't afford to test his cows simply because prices are ddwn and conditions trying. The banker individualizes each account. If you are one of his customers and you write a check to pay the gas bill when there is no balance in your account, the check does not pay the account and possibly you will get in bad. - In like manner, the successful dairyman will individualize his cows, and when he is not keeping tlie deposits of feed and care up to standard, the cow is going to return the drafts marked .••Imsuflicjent Funds;" or, if he is doing his part up to the letter all the time, and the cow isn't honoring the checks, then there iff something wrong, and the cow herself is very apt to be in bad.--r H.

Sunlight Affects Flavor A tatlowy or even a burnt flavor in milk aboilt which housewives in Chicago and other cities recently have been complaining may be caused by nothing more than leaving the milk exposed to light, according to P. H. Tracy, assistant chlef-ln dairy manufactures at the college of agriculture, University of Illinois. Milk users who take advantage of natural refrigeration during the winter months and leave bottles of milk standing In windows or unprotected out of doors are likely to find that the flavor is impaired, he said. Either direct sunlight or diffused light when permitted to pass Into milk through colorless glarfs hurts the flavor. Permitting the bottle of milk to remain in the sunlight even for ^0 minutes may cause the milk to acquire a tallowy flavor sometimes described as a "cappy," or pasteboard, taste. If the milk is allowed to remain in the sun long enough a distinct burnt flavor will predomlnate.-r-Exchange.

Supreme Dictator Bnsch Ro* forta Net Resources of Order Nearly $27,000,000* While Philanthropic Work Moves On in Face of Economic Strese. By DONALD F. 8TKWABS AT A time ^ben American frater- , naliam Is hard hit by economic conditions, a meeting was called of th» Supreme Council of the Supreme Lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, to take atock of the emergency confronting the economic world and to study the financial condition of the fraternity. It was held in New York City recently and Henry W. Busch, Supreme Dictator, reported u follows: 1--That considering economic conditions the fraternity la in a sounder, more stable situation than at any Other period in its history. , 3--That the net worth of the Order ts that the total cash In h«nk» is $2,636,940.94, and that investments and savings accounts total $4,846,919.32. 8--That during the past fiscal year more than 80,000 members have been added to the rolls of the Order through initiation, reinstatement ana read mission Into the ranks. . 4--That the total assets of the fraternity, Including all local units, together with Mooseheart, the fraternity's child city near Chicago; Mooaehaven, the home for the aged, near ; Jacksonville, Fla.; the Women of the {Moose; the Legion of the Moose, and j Supreme L>odge, amount to the vast sum of $43,690,145.27. 5--That reasonable curtailment has been made In expenses throughout all departments, Including $106,000 in .operating expenses at Mooseheart, i without retarding the philanthropio work of the Order and In many cases improving the service. | Recognition of Education Plan "^t the same time Mr. Busch called attention to a pleasant recognition Of the Order's educational program evinced by the Introduction of two bills Into the Ohio Legislature by Representative Kasch. One bill provides that beginning September 1 the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Soldiers' and Bailors' Orphans' Home be directed to eonvert the existing school into a combined trade, vocational and high •Ohool, with the methods of instrucjtion and subjects taught to be patterned after the routine followed at (llooseheart, Illinois, the Loyal Order Of Moose home and school for depend- 'eat children of deceased members of ike fraternity. Th* moooJ 'tin wwrtdea similarly for converting Wllberforce University Into a combined trade, vocational and high school, the curriculum also to follow the ooursea designed by Mooseheart. "While the Supreme Council meeting was designed as an 'emergency survey meeting,' " Supreme Dictator Busch said, "the term is used merely to show that we are alert and watchlag most carefully th4 condition and earnest, sincere men and women who honestly and with determination de*t sire to alleviate human woes, espe* daily through the three great media of Mooseheart, Moosehaven, and the Charity Service. I am happy to atate that the Moose is one of the few fra*^ ternities, I believe, that has been able to show a similar and consistent* financial balance year after year." How deflnftely the Moose frater# , nity has assumed the proportions oa . big business and how thoroughly if holds a high position in the nation'ffi social and philanthropic life, was in<| dlcated by Mr. Busch when ho re4 ferred to the following figures com«| plied by Supreme Secretary Malcolm! R. Giles of Mooseheart: L $37,000,000 has been distributed fc*J 1 the last few years through the more . than 1,700 lodges in sick benefits and! funeral expenses. $1,500,000 has been distributed in the> last eight years by the Supreme Lodge j in Moose Charity Service. $16,000,000 has been expended oa Mooseheart (founded In 1913), wit% $1,000,000 additional each year for it# administration.

No cause for alarm exists, but rather we are open to congratulations on the fact that our Order Is In such excellent circumstances when the times have been particularly difficult for fraternal life. "The rank and file of the Moose are wage-earners--men and women on whom the economic stress has rested heavily. Unemployment, the gradual expenditure of savings, unprofitable prices, a general slowing down of the economic machine, have brought their moments of anxiety to our members and the supreme officials alike. Yet by adjustments here and there, by careful planning and cautious forethought we have been able to weather the storm and can show an eoonomy of operation without a sacrifice of efficiency. "The Moose," Supreme Dictator Busch explair ed, "has grown to a gigantic slse. Long ago it ceased to be an organisation limited in Its sphere of Influence or circumscribed in ita field of operation. Today it Is a fratarnttv of more than half a ml Won Another $1,000,000 has been Invested in Moosehaven, founded In 1922. $42,000,000 l a I n v e s t e d i n M o o s e lodge homes throughout the world. These figures did not include, Mr* Busch said, innumerable Independent and individual charities carried on bJJ the lodges themselves locally. Appeals for Help Answesed j Supreme Dictator Busch readily a*»! mitted that the task facing Moos* high was heavier than ever, before. Various organ!rations, newpmd old, he said, were striving te gather funds for needs newly arisea «mi this made the normal work of the Moose Increasingly difficult. Many appeals for help, he explained, are being received by the Moose that under ordinary conditions would not be submitted. A program of selectivity is now in force, he said, that is, because of the tremendous number at appeals being made to the Supremi Lodge, of necessity mors stringent than formerly. ' "Yet not one of our philanthropic prograhna has lapsed," Mr. Busch s#> sei *ed, "neither among the childrea, the aged, nor the other dependent folk. who look to the Moose for help. Oui local lodges accept important roles ia local community effort. Our Womea of the Moose are answering innume**i able appeals for help. In the face off all this the Moose fraternity Is goinff ahead as usual and the happy faeti that the fraternity is on an unmoved, substantial and stable basis is a source of great pride and satisfaitioai to us all. The best tangible exan.plai of our efforts is the class of 130 bojaj and girls to be graduated from Moose* heart high school oext Juna." J '
