the new conditions o'.' 151 e in the present day.
It is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce wages,
arid so far as wages are concerned we believe that portion
of the increased operating expenses to be permanent.
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage of increased revenue which it will produce
is much lower than the increased cost of other services
and commodities of a similar character.
Complete detailed information about the new rates
may be obtained at the manager’s office. We are making
every effort to. change our records promptly and your
courteous consideration will be appreciated. The new
rate for your service is shown on your statement for

It has also proved a big factor in the

in itself is leading to an expansion of

“Black Plague/'
The “Black Death,” or “Black'
Plague,” was also known as the “bu
bonic plague,” and was a scourge in
Europe and Asia in the years between
1334-1351, when millions were swept
away by the scourge. It has recurred
from time to time since then, but never
so severely.
SQUEEZE GATES ARE USEFUL
For Acute Sickness, Retention of Af
terbirth, or Any Symptoms of
Disease It Is Handy.
On dairy and stock farms a well
selected building for a hospital is al
ways useful. It is seldom needed for
calving cows, or for cases of lameness
or ordinary accident. Rut for acute
sickness, retention of afterbirth, abor
tion, or any symptoms of contagious
diseases it is essential.
Whether you can have such a build
ing or not, an arrangement similar to
one used at the Illinois experiment sta-
Safe Squeeze Gates.
tion, known ns the squeeze gates, af
fords an excellent method of holding
cattle for treatment.
In a great many cases, especially
with young cattle, they are chased un
til they become heated and excited;
then are roped and thrown. This is
not only detrimental to the uiling ani
mal but often puts them in a. very awk
ward position tt> w’ork upon.
With squeeze gates it Is possible,
with the aid of feed, to coax the ani
mal quietly into the stanchion and use
the gates if the case demands them.
Even with milch cows that are more
docile there is more or less danger, by
the sudden movements of the cow, of
breaking an arm when treating the
genital organs.
For cases of abortion, where the
genital organs should lie constantly
treated and freely dressed with anti
septic solutions, the squeeze gates are
worth many times their initial cost, for
when treating such cases the two
gates are swung around and by means
of racbeted props the animal is held
so it cannot move sideways, thus allow
ing the attendant to work with the
greatest degree of satisfaction.
