SMITHY’S Variety the retained placental membranes unlike other cases where abortion may take place during the latter cases of pregnancy, there is a vagi nal discharge which varies in color from a yellowish white to a brownish red. This discharge may continue, or it may be expelled periodically, the latter as a result of accumulation in ’he uterous.

White scour in calves is usually eVident within the first three days of life and a concomitant symptom is lassitude, depression and rapid emaciation; fecal discharges are white and in crease in frequency and quantity, Death from exaustioa occurs within a few hours after the disease be comes evident. Pneumonia in calves is characterized by a dejected ap- pearance of the subject, high temp erature, lack of desire to move, cough and nasal discharge. Dull areas may be determined by percus sion over one or both lungs. Death usually results from three to ten days, yet in some instances recover ing results. placental membranes have not be come detached normally. Since such subjects have probably been dissepi- inators of the infection for a con siderable period of time, all other animals should be considered as ex posed subjects upon which such in fected animals have been kept may be contaminated. Consequently, in order to determine the true condition of other animals on such premises, it may be necessary to have laboratory diagnosis made by the examination of blood. The method of treatment will depend somewhat upon circum stances, but in all cases beneficial results will be obtained by the in jection of the affected animal with the killed cultures of the B. abortuij. The fact is well established that cows ultimately attain an immunity to abortion disease, and the purpose ot the Injection is killed cultures of the organism is to hasten the time at which the immunity will result. By a series* of experiments, it has been found that by the use of large doses of the killed cultures of the abortion bacillis, a resistance of this disease is produced. dose, repeating on the fifth or sev enth day. until the three injections results have been highly satisfactory.

The ¡treatment is not ot great value after pathological changes have taken place in the placental membrane and uteruH. However, animals treated during advanced pregnancy will be materially benefitted during the re mainder of the peroid of gestation, and the new born is less likely to be affected with white scours. PERSHING TO TELL HUNS ABOUT LOAN Anti-Abortion Bacterine (Bovine) For several years anti-abortion bacterine has been employed in the treatment of abortion diseases, and results have ben highly satisfactory.

VICTORY LOAN Earnings for 1918 Estimated at $12,000,000,000 by Treasury Department The farmers of the United Slates alone could subscribe the entire amount of $5.000,000,000 to be asked for in the Victory Loan which is to be opened by the government April 21. Figures given out by the treasury department show that the earn mgs of American farmers for 1910 totalled more than $12,000,000,000. Ability of the American people to meet the obligations of its government is shown through ligiires issued by the treasury department showing the earn ing i>ower of the nation In 191k to have been in excess of $73,000.000.000. It would have taken less than two days* earnings of the American peop le to pay all the Interest charges on all the Liberty Bonds outstanding during that year. There Is far more gold back of a United States government bond than that standing behind bonds of sny of the others of the allied nations. America's total wealth is estimated at $250,000,000,000. The part of the world's monetary stock held by this country Is $3.079,000.000. an increase of $1.192,000,000 since the beginning if the war.
