Agricultural Journal.
MILWAUKEE, June 15.-Professor Henry
OF the Wisconsin Experiment Station has
written to an agricultural journal of the
sudden and extraordinary decline of the
State Dairy herd. The decline of one of
the number last winter led him TO order a
test with the Koch tuberculine. "The
work." he said, twas very carefully
performed by a bacteriologist and our
lectures on veterinary science. To our
surprise twenty-five animals out of the
herd of thirty responded to the test.
Twenty-eight animals have been killed up
to date. twenty-six showing tubercular
consumption of the lungs. A few were
bad cases indeed. although nearly all were
very recent. Heretofore our herd had been
fully up to the average in health, and this

THE MESSAGE.

The following concerning the presi.
dents message is taken from Public
Opinion, a non-partisan magazine and
gives perhaps as good brief summary
of the message as has been published.
The presidents message, eleven
newspaper columns in length, is barren
of surprises, and is on the whole a
moderate and conservative document,
both in matter and manner. That por.
ton which treats of domestic affairs
had been anticipated in large part by
the publication of the reports of sew
eral of the Cabinet Secretaries during
the past ten days. Upon what will be
generally regarded as the most i'm
portant topic of the message, the cur
rency question, the president is posi-
tive and explicit. The plan which he
proposes or rather indorses, is along
the general lines of the Baltimore plan,
but with important notifications.
Upon the bond question the president
is equally determined. The congress
men who have threatened In advance
to attack his policy in issuing bonds
will find that he has not waited for
them to give the first blow. So also
his recommendation with regard to the
"popgun" tariff bills, the differential
sugar duty and free ships is clear and
aggressive.
The message as whole, however,
will cause no little disappointment,
not so much because of what it says as
because of what it leaves unsaid. The
general question of tariff reform is not
touched upon. The labor question is
passed with brief, yet significant, in
dOrsement of the work of the strike
commission as "well DONE" The armor
plate frauds are not mentioned, either
by the president or by Secretary Her.
bert. The silver question and the
means Of meeting the prospective
Treasury deficit are not discussed.
The reference to the war in che East Is
short and tells little or nothing not
already known. The message is silent
with regard to the alleged disagree
as to the Mosquito territory, although
the sovereignty of Nicaragua over
that territory is implicitly recognized
by the president. Nor does the presi-
dent give any hint as to the policy
which he thinks this country should
pursue with regard to the building and
control Of the proposed Nicaragua
Canal.
Last but not least, there Is nothing
in the message to indicate that the re-
turns of the late election had been 70.
ceived at Woodley when it was written.
There is no "call to action" no theory
of defeat, no plan for winning future
victory, nothing, as ex-Speaker Reed
aptly says, in the way of political "bait
to bite at" But then, why should
there bep The president is addressing
not the democratic party but the Ma
tons Congress.
