The operettas would have been given free if the music material had not been so expensive. How ever, enough money was received to clear expenses. Monday was the first day of the new semester. In the morning some time was spent in arranging the schedule. Several new subjects have been offered this semester.

Jamison stated that it costs about $1,000,000 each year to the state of Oregon in the loss of calves and shrinkage of milk production. “Many do not know of this dis- ease,” said Mr. Jamison, “but 90 per cent of the calf loss is attribut- od to it.” Sometimes there is no changed condition in the cow ex <;ept the shrinkage in milk produc tion, he stated, which ís caused by germs of this disease in the udder, Usually more udder troubles de- velop which works into garget. This is followed in the younger cows by more retained afterbirth and more breeding trouble. The college herd at Oregon State college was at one time af- flicted with 50 per cent of con- tagious abortion. At present there are 130 females in this herd who are entirely free of this disease. This has been accomplished by systematized isolation of all infect ed animals and of breeding only on neutral ground, which is not used at any other time by either the cows or bulls. Investigations have not shown of any cases, how ever, where the bull has spread the disease. Contagious abortion is a feeding infection, said Mr. Jamison. The germs are only spread within two weeks of calving time. In case the germs fall on any feed which is eaten by other cows, they usually become infected with it. All cows that have the disease do not abort, he stated, although they can still spread the disease. It is impossible to tell by abortion whether it is accidental nr conta gious. The only reliable test is by getting a sample of the blood and having that tested. This will tell definitely whether the animal is infected. A small quantity of blood is taken from a vein and sent to the laboratory at Corvallis, where a charge of 10 cents is made for testing. The test requires only three days. An economical way of having it done properly, he point ed out, is to have a veterinarian test all the cows is one locality on one day, which should not cost the owners more than 35 cents per cow. Mr. Jamison recommended that tests of all cows be taken ____ to „ learn if any have the disease. If only a few of them have it, it is best to sell them to the butcher, but if this method is economically un- sound, the herd _ _______ should be divided into two herds, the infected and the clean animals. Calves can be raised from both as the disease is not transmitted to the offspring, he stated. In case it is impractical to divide the herd because of accomodations, it is essential to isolate infected cows about calving time so that none of their litter will get on the feed to be given to other animals and thus infect them. One district in Malheur county now has what is known as a free area, which prohibits the bringing in of any cows having this disease, Mr. Jamison stated. All animals sold from that district bring a premium. Attempts are being made to form similar districts in other parts of the state. Any person desiring further in formation along this line was in vited to write to the extension service at Oregon State college, or communicate with the county agent. HOME POINTERS The whitish stain left on a ma hogany table by hot water or a very hot dish may be removed by rubbing in oil and afterward pour ing a little alcohol on the spot and rubbing it dry with a cloth. Silk stockings are best washed in water which is only warm not hot. A soap solution is better for them than rubbing the soap on. It is wise to squeeze them out; not wring them. A woman’s clothing allowance will go farther if she adopts a color scheme limited to those colors which are becoming and which har monize with the rest of her clothes. If the clothes basket is lined with oil cloth the clothes will not become stained. A simple and effective method of stretching curtains when laun dering them is to measure the cur tains before wetting them and then mark off the length on the clothes lines. When laundered, double the curtains, stretch the edges to fit the space, and fasten securely to the line. A tablespoon of turpentine boiled with white clothes will aid in the whitening process. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water and render them pliable. Marshfield—$10,000 apartment building will be built aat Third Street and Market Avenue. Springfield—McKenzie Highway between here and Cogswell hill be ing surveyed preparatory to exten sive changes. Miller Mercantile Co.
