SRS R ICIS ingenuous example
ot the methods employed by Germar
‘scouts in France for communicating
information to' their troops has beel
reported from France. It appear:
that the German intelligence depart
ment took an idea or two from the
gypsies, who have a code of signs that
they write on walls and fences at
‘they pass along, for the informatior
of other members of their clan.
A favorite sign with the Germant
has been a black cow. That animal
roughly sketched in black crayon 01
walls, gates and fences, was frequent
1y noticed by the French as they pass
ed, and was so crudely drawn that at
first it aroused no-suspicion. Some
times it was 'small,flsometimes large,
now rampart, now couchant, and oft
en the horns were ridiculously‘long in
comparison with the rest of the ani
mal. But it was not a case of bad
drawing. 'The only things that mat
tered were the size and the direction
in which it faced. The French officers
discovered the secret of this system
of signals, ~
A little cow signified that the roac
was only weakly defended, a moderate
gized cow meant that the allied troops
were in the mneighborhood, a large
cow was a warning that there was
earthworks or trenches nearby. The
direction in which the cow’s head
pointed indicated where the danger
‘lay. If it pointed into the air, that
meant that the Germans had better
reconnoiter the ground by areoplane
before advancing.
WARNING—HOG CHOLERA.
Farmers pasturing hogs on Gum
Creek below Mr. Butler Ray's farm
will avoid cholera infestation by ceas:
ing to pasture on this stream.
Watch your hogs’ heads and if any
;get to ailing, make sure gs to whether
or not cholera is the trouble. By the
timely use of cholera serum, before
the whole herd gets infested, the dis
ease can be controlled. Three thous
and pounds live weight can be saved
with the price of two good shoats.
Don’t wait until whole herd gets the
disease and expect serum to cure, for
it is a preventive only.
