Jesse 13, Roots and the boys of his battalion are seeing already the results of ac- tual warfare. \We can see the Mexican troops on the other side,\ the major writes. The letter was written two days after the Montana boys reached the scene, and continues: - There are 1,200 American soldiers at and near Douglas, while just south of us on the Mexican side there are 10,000 Mexican soldiers. \When we passed through Colum- bus we saw about 30 dead horses that were killed in the last Villa raid there. About a mile from where we are, now camped are the bodies of 40 dead Mex- icans who were killed in the last fight. They were left to bleach in the desert. \This is about the hottest place I have ever seen,\ continued the ma- jor. \The first day the thermometer registered 120 degrees out of doors, and under shelter it was no better. There is not a tree within miles of us, but there is an abundance of cactus and mesquite. The mesquite is par - Ocularly annoying. Its thorns piercing our heaviest leather shoes. \We are having a fine rain this afternoon, which I hope will make the atmosphere cooler. When we arrived they told us there had not been a drop of rain in more than six months. \I have not felt so well for years as at the present time. Next weak I am to go on outpost duty with my battalion, several miles west of here. We will relieve troops who have been on duty for some time. \I wish you would send us a news- paper once in a while. Reading mat- ter is scarce.\ * * * Helena. Rae Replies to Demand.

Private I.ange writes in part as fol- low's: \Our camp here In Douglas is about 100 yards from a big smelter owned by the Calumet & Arizona, a NV. A. Clark venture. They are cer- tainly treating us finely—have piped water front an artesian well into catnp —and the senator is going to install electric lights in camp for us. The smelters have donated the use of their shower baths to IIS and, believe time, they were welcomed today. \All along the line in coming here every one told us that the Montana bunch was the huskiest that had cones through, and they told us how pale the eastern boys were. The temperature was 121 here, so I guess they will tan, too. \Our camp is about 100 yards from the Mexican boundary„ and we can see the Mexican patrols going up and down the line. othe of our boys strolled too far, there not being ally visible line, and the Mexican patrol arrested them and then turned them over to the United States authorities.

INFECTION CAUSE OF GARGET Germs Gain Entrance Through Teat Duct—Bacteria Do Little Harm— Observations to Note. (By I. E NEWSOM, Colorado Agricultur- al College, Fort Collins, Colo.) At one time it was thought that gar. get was due to mechanical Injury to the udder, and while this cause can- not be entirely eliminated, it seems evident from all recent work that prac- tically all cases are due to infection, the germs gaining entrance through the teat duct. It is well known that sterile milk is not to be had even when removed un- der the most rigid precautions. This indicates that germs are to be found in the udder most of the time. Under ordinary circumstances these bacteria do little harm, but occasionally a harm - fin one gets in and sets up severe in. fiammation. This is especially likely High -Producing Dairy Cow, to be the case at about the time of freshening, or during the time the cow is drying up. At both periods there is an accumulation of milk that is not drawn out regularly and consequently it forms a good medium in which bac- teria can live. When there is much accumulation of milk, milking should be done in order to get out these for- eign organisms before they become harmful. While it is not necessary at the time of drying up to encourage milk production by milking dry, yet it Is much better to milk out a small quantity so as to get all of the organ - Isms out of the sinus, than It is to al- low it to accumulate for several days. DOUCHE IS OFTEN NECESSARY Plan Outlined for Treating Cows for Sterility and Abortion—Good Solution in Use. Frequently the dairyman finds It necessary to use a vaginal douche as a treatment for abortion and sterility troubles The following method is recommended for efeich cases: • Secure a largo galvanized pail, four to six gallons in cazacity according to the size of the herd, and fit it with a stop -cock. Buy a pure gum horse stomach tube and fit it to the stop- . cock. Elevate the pail until It is about three feet above the cow so that the liquid will flow freely. This can be readily done by making use of the feeding and litter track if there is one in the barn. When ready to use the apparatus, insert the stomach tube into the vagina. open the stopcock and allow the douching solution to flow into it by gravity until it is com- pletely filled. A very good solution to use is a 1 to 2.500 or 3,000 parts of permanganate of potash and water. SEPARATING A THICK CREAM Sk i min I ng H Igh•Test Product Leave. More Skim Milk on Farm for Hogs, Calves and Fowls. Farmers will make more money by separating a reasonably thick cream than a thin cream. Skimming high- test cream leaves more skim milk on the farm to feed to the hogs, calves and chickens. Skim milk utilized in this way has a feeding value of about 35 cents per hundred. while if the milk is left In the cream, nothing is realized. The butter maker usually wants a cream testing around 35 or 44 per cent butterfat. In the winter, if the cream Is above 40 per cent it is rather diffi- cult to get the cream all out of one can into another or into a vat. Cream testing about 35 per cent in the win- ter and 40 per cent in the summer is right for buttermakIng. COWS ARE DAIRY MACHINES If They Fail to Prortuce Profits Some- thing Is Wrong—Usually it is Raw Material. The cows on tho dairy farm repro - sent the equipment that produces a profit. If they fall something must be wrong They are the machines. The feed is the raw material, the milk Or butterfat is the finished product. If the machines are efficient and the finished product Is not all that can be desired, the trouble must be with the raw material. Affected His Speech. \My father wants a bottle of red - lick,\ said Fanny. \Iteddick said the drug store man, 'what is thatr' \It is something you write ted with.\ -Then I guess you mean red ink.\ \My father said reddick, but he didn't get much sleep last night amid talks kind of thick this morning, and that may be the reason.\ FP YOU OR ANY FIBIND Softer with Tillman:1,41am or Neuritis, acute or chronic, write for my TREE BOOK on Rheum., tisin—Its Cause and Cure.

An aniusIng incident is told n icicIc took place in one of the occupied dis- tricts of Belgium where the German occupier doles out potatoes to such of the starving people as agree to work for him. One recipient presented him- self before the German authorities and declared himself quite ready in return for a supply of potatoes to work for the Germans and only for them. Ile seemed quite decided and genuine in his offer to work. \Then you are quite willing to sign the declaration?\ asked the German officer. \Yes quite willing.\ \And what is your trade?\ \I am a grave digger,\ replied the Belgian stolidly.—London Everyman. At a Wedding. They have a saw in Afghanistan to the effect that the next best thing to no wife is a good wife. The Senegalese declare that there are only two good women in the world —one is dead and the other can't be found. The Chinese hold that if a man lose his bride and /I yen, he'll regret the yen. A yen's about a tenth of a cent. But more comforting, far more comforting than these proverbs, in the wise saying of Don Quixote that there's only one good woman In all the world, and every husband ought to think that his wife is she.
